Equal Suffrage All But accomplished

ME inevitable has come 10 pass. Women
have been taken into full partnership
with the men In the business of governing
America and, barring an improbable recon
sideration on the part OF the Tennessee
House. and legal tcchnicalities which may
delay but not defeat the suffrage extension
women OF the United States will vote in the
November elections. Tennessee furnished
the thirty-siNth State necessary 10 complete
ratification OF the nineteenth, or Susan An

ton, and thus brought 10 an end in a victory
for the suNragists, at least in its major
phases, the battle they have waged vigor-
oUsly and necessarily for more than fifty
years
Tie Times-Dispatch congratulates the
women on their new role OF fully enfran-
chised citizens. II has stouuy opposed their
acknowledgements by way OF the Federal Con
st!tution. and it docs not now believe il was
the proper or desirable method II still is
convinced that an injustice has been worked
upon those States which opposed the method
particularly those States Of the South which
have problems peculiar 10 themselves. 1t
| would have much preferred that the right
to vote be granted TO the women bv the
individual States, thus prccluding an in
vaSion OF the Federal government upon their
suffrage control. However that is water
over tAe wheel Inc necessary thirty-siX
States have decided otherwise, Z. Southern
State made the final decision, and the South
as whole perforce accepts the situation
The coming OF equal suffrage adds a new
| ard serious problem TO the control OF the
/ ballot box in the South. 1t is not necessary
/ To dwell here upon that problem Every
| Southorncr understands it thoroughly How
! eyer, a similar problem was boldly faced
and boldly solved in the days following the
! civil War. White supremacy was regaincd
ana maintained, and while conditions at
! times may become vcXatious there need be
I no fear Of any other than Anglo Saxon
I domination
In its practical results the cnfranchise
/ ment OF the women is likely TO be apprcci-
F., able only in the doubling OF the number OF
! voters That is largely true OF every stat @
when the vote has been extended TO them
/ ii tina; is the only result there will be keen
disappointment, and The Times Dspatc n
here voices the hope that with the fresh
viewpoint and high ideals with which they
enter upon the exercise of their full cili-
Zonship they will he able, with their no.
litical weapons, TO accomplish for themselves
