One Gives Life for Cause
There is one page with a black
border in ratification history, for in
Oklahoma young suffrage worker
Aloysius Larck- Miller, died as re-
suit of her devotion to the campaign.
Although i'll with influenza, she dis
obeyed her doctors orders and attended
a Democratic county convention, where
ratification was belnn attacked by the
states Attorney General. She engaged
IN debate with him and succeeded in
having the suffrage resolution adopted
by to [ vote. But size died of
pneumonia the next day.
Sutfragists had been aware from the
beginning that the real struggle for
ratification would como with the last
states. SO powerful were the influences
brought to bear upon members of the
West Virginia Legislature that the
large majority estimated in the suf-
frage confidential poll dwindled to
tie. Senator Bloch, who was in Cali
fornia, was hastily summoned home.
and so the suffrage bill passed, with
one vote to spare.
The battle for the thirty sixth state
lasted more than five months, costing
women of several states their votes in
the primaries and lmperiing their
participation in the Presidential cleo

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
NEWPORT, r. l., Aug 18.-Mrs.
Norman Whitehouse, chairman of the
Legislative committee of the New York
State League of Women Voters. in
commenting on the suffrage victory in
Tennessee, said the victory, coming
after the long struggle of scvcnty-tiye
years Of organized campaign, was par
tcularly fortunate to occur at this
time, for it will give the women the
much hoped for opportunity of voting
IN the Presidential election.
Mrs. Whitehouse said she THOUGHT
the victory too obvious for any ex-
preston of gratifcation
The victory in New York in 1917
was the turning point in suffrage his
tory, not only because of it's influence
on national psychology, but because,
counting on fortv-four votes of New
York Congressman, the suffragists
ventured to bring their cause to a
vote in the House of Representatives
Victory in the Senate followed in eigh
teen months.
Meantime the women had discovered
enabled them to gain the V't Vote WI for fo,
Pres idential electors (and for mum
clpal ofcers) by legislative enactment.
This was accomplished in 1913 in H.
llnols and in the Presidential election
OF 1916 the women of Illinois cast
large vote
The Presidential suffrage bill has
since been passed by twelve other
states, where the women were deter
mined to have a voice in the 1920 cleo
tons, regardless Of the progress Of the
Federal amendment The states which
have ratified Pres Dental suffrage are
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Mime
sofa, Missouri, Nebraska, North Da-
kota, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Wis
conslh, Ohio and Kentucky. In two
other states, Arkansas and Texas. the
women have primary suffrage, and this
IN states where there is only one party
amounts to full suffrage
The combined votes of the women of
the full suffrage states and the Pres
ldentlal suffrage states total 17.5OO.-
200. The passage of the Federal
amendment will increase the number
OF voting women by about 9,5OO,OOO

Vermont and Connecticut in the North,
and Tennessee and North Carolina in
the South. The influence of Republi-
can leaders was brought to bear on
the Governors of the two Republican
states in vain. Although the Legisla-
lures of both states were believed to
be IN favor of the resolution, the
Governors refused to call special ses-
sions.
The national conventions Of both
parties passed resolutions favoring the
speedy ratification of the amenoment.
Senator Harding had a personal con-
ference with Governor Clement of Yer
mont, in Washington, at which he
urged the necessity of ratification. Soon
afterward, however, Governor Glenn
ent issued an official statement refus-
ing to call a special session.
The decision Of the Supreme Court
in regard to the prohibition and suf-
lage amendments, declaring that they
could not be submitted in referenda to
the voters, opened the door for the
suffrage opportunity in Tennessee. The
constitution of this state contained a
specific provision that no change in the
state constitution could be made by
the Legislature until after the voters
had had chance to express their will
III the matter. The Attorney General
held that the decision of the Supreme
Court invalidated this clause and the
Governor was advised that'he had the
right to present the suffrage amend
ment to the Legislature The official
session accordingly was called. Gov
ernor Cox. sent messages and personal
representatives to aid the suffrage
cause and Senator Harding and the
Republican national committeeman
urged the Republican minority in the
Legislature to cast their votes for it.

from other states took part in the
campaign.
Republican States Lead
From political point OF view. the
Republican party has played the bet

OF tWenty-nine states, as against seven

The seven Democratic states are
Arkansas, Arizona, Missouri. Texas,
Utah, Oklahoma and Tennessee.
The amendment was proposed by
Republican Congress.
Suffrage leaders have held aloof from
party politics ever since the organiza-
tion Of the National American Woman
Suffrage Association in 1869. Under the
leadership Of Susan B. Anthony, they
accepted the services of men in both
parties in Congress and in the states
where suffrage campaigns were waged,
but never became identified with either
political group. Therefore, the suf-
fraglsts of 1920, the 100000 women's
votes, are mystery to the politicians

indicate how the majority of the women

If the Greeks recall Constantine to
the throne, they will forfeit the good
will and support of Great Britain,
France and Italy. These three powers,
1t was decided at a conference In Lon
don, should so warn the new Greek
government, and a note to that effect
was drafted. The restoration of the
former king says the warning, "could
only be regarded as ratification of his
hostile acts" during the war. This de-
cision by the entente Is a victory for
the French point of view.
D'Annunzio having refused to &C.
cept the agreement between Italy and
Jugo- Slavia, the italian government
sent General CavIglla to invest Fiume
This he did, and sent to the poet war
rior by airplane a proclamation an
nOuncing the intention of the govern
ment to enforce the conditions of the
Rapallo treaty without delay and
calling on the regency of Fiume to
withdraw all It's forces behind the
frontiers. He next invited D'Annun-
zio's troops to leave him and re-
enroll In their old units, and threat
ened a severe blockade of the city.
D'AnnunzlO, seemingly undaunted, re-
spOnded in declaration Of a state
of war with Italy, effective December
3. General Caviglla Is doing all he
can to avoid bloodshed and his troops
would hGte to fire on their brother
Italians, but If 1t comes to actual war
fare the result cannot be In doubt.
D'Annunzlo would soon be crushed.
The warning issued by the British
government, that the Irish were about
to carry the war" to England, was
justified. To date the chief weapon
used in this new development of the
conflict is arson. A large number of
incendiary fires were started stimuli
taneously along the Liverpool water
front and several big cotton ware
houses were destroyed. The incen-
diaries worked In small groups and
some Of them, being interrupted by
the police, killed one officer and n
civilian. About the same time the
London police said they had foiled
a plot TO start fires In the metropolis
on a large scale, Elaborate precau-
lions were taken In all the large
cities OF England.

tion Of Sir Frederick Morris and
Gen. Weygand officials in Washing

but IT may turn out to be true.
BY unanimous vote the league COM

Austria should be admitted, and there
was no doubt that the assembly would

Gustav AdoY of Switzerland, backed
by the delegates of several other ma
tons, tried to have the economic COM
mission instructed to study means of
preventing monopolies of raw mate
rails and measures to insure their
distribution throughout the world, the
argument being that raw materials
belong not to the nation in which they
are produced but to the world. This
was blocked by Sir George E. Foster
Of Canada, who said his country and
the United States never would sub
scribe to that principle. A futile eff
fort to have Spanish adopted as the
third official language of the league
brought out the statement by the for
eign minister of Panama that the -
states of Central and South America
are united around Spain as their
leader.
