Suffragists said they were more
confident of success in the senate
than in the house. They were of the
opinion that if the senate were to ap-
prove ratification by a comfortable
majority sufficient members Of the
house could be brought into line.
The anti-suffragist forces, predict
ing a close vote in the senate, said
they were confident ratification would
be defeated in the house.
Suffragists have issued a state
ment to the effect that Governor Cox,
Democratic presidential candidate,
wired them denying report that he
had sent a personal representative
here to aid in defeating ratification.
