Suffrage, Prices and Houses

when woman suffrage Is given through
state action it is possible TO recall il

Federal action would be impossible
The purpose of this amendment is TO
override the free action OF the States
ana force woman suffrage upon States
whose voters have rejected il by over

The amendment Is framed to enable

The vast majority Of women have
never asked for suffrage and do not

as shown by their strenuous opposition
to n test OF it by a referendum TO tho
women themselves.
