Leedy Resolution Gets Big
Majority in State
4 Senate 4
CONTEST ON ALL DAY
Upper Branch Of General Assembly
Votes Down Proposal to Submit Is
sue to Referendum

Richmond, Feb. Virginia, for the
second time in five months, rejected
the proposed Federal amendment
granting the ballot to women, when
the Senate late last night, by a vote
of "a. to 10, passed the Leedy resolu-
tom for the rejection Of the amend
ment. This action followed twelve
& hours of unlimited debate and the
killing of substitute by Senator
Trinkle, of Wythe, for the adoption
of the amendment.
While certain defeat stared them in
the face, suffrage leaders put up a
determined battle to prevent defeat
of the amendment, which kills all
1chance of ratification by Virginia for
two years. Proposals to put the ques-
i ton to vote Of the people were
1spurned, one resolution having that
step in view being voted down at the
opening of the session, % to s.
t Unalterable opposition to usurpa-
ton of State power by the Federal
government was the keynote of those
favoring the adoption of the Leedy
amendment calling for the rejection
of the proposed constitution amend
inent. Against this rock-ribbei de-
fense the proponents of suffrage
vainly beat.
Beginning at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, the contest waged until after =
O'clock last night, with two short re-
cesses for the members to dine. Un-
der "a virtual agreement to do moth
ing to prevcrs vote, the suffrage
leaders had u handicap which they
sought to overcome by all parliamen-
tary means. but without success.
Powerful addressesTwere made by
both sides, with Senator c. o'Conor
Goolrick, of Fredericksburg, making
a mastery talk. against, ratification
and Senator E. Lee Trinkle, of Wythe
making equally as strong talk for the
adoption ofssuffrage.
Beth speeches were compared with
the mos. notable ones in the last tw@
generations. That of the Freder:cks-
burg Senator was pure logic through
out, dealing with the constitutional
aspect of the question, while Senator
Trinlsle Offered more .oratorical ar
gument, But one which bristled with
facts hard to controvert.
