WOMAN SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT
IS DECLARED CONSTITUTIONAL
BY THE u. S. SUPREME. COURT

nessee and West Virginia, counted
among the 80 states necessary for rat
iiication, as not have legally acted.
Declaring the issues presented were
political" seeking to obtain from the
court an '.opinion" or construction
on the contentious raised, the govern
ment asserted that the supreme court
consistently had refused to deliver an
interpretation" of the law because it
was beyond It's power 1t took this
position when requested for an "opin-
ion" by George Washington, and has
on repeated occasions adhered to it.
Whether the government of a state
was Republican in its nature; and
whether proposed constitutional
amendment had received the approval
Of the necessary number Of state leg
islatures, are not, the friends OF the
amendments insisted judicial ques-
tions. Replying, however, to the asser-
tion that the amendment had not been
legally ratified, the government as
serted that Missouri, Tennessee and
West Virginia had been properly count,
ed, but that ii Missouri was excluded
that being the only one in the view Of
the goverpnent open to question, un-
der any reasonable contention was
Offset by Vermont and Connecticut,
which had ratified after the proclama-
tion had been issued
The greatest power in the eonstitu-
ton was that amendment Solicitor
General Beck asserted in the argument.
1t conferred upon the people, he said, |
the right TO change the form of gov
ernment whenever they pleased. The
lath amendment, under his construc-
tion mere added the word "sex" to |
the provision of the 18th amendment |
that there should be no discrimination |
on account OF race. color or previous
IT would be political revo-
lmtion, he declared, for the court, aft
sr equal suffrage had been acquiesced |
in for half century, to set it aside.
The election of senators by the di-
-ect vote Of the people would sustain
he validity of the amendment against
he contention that it depriYes the
states of equal representation in the
Senate, the government declared, in
listing that if the people by a direct vote
eject their representatives in the Sen
tie there is no reason why they should
lot provide who should exercise the
light of suffrage in such selection.
