"VOTES FOR WOMEN IN 1920" Seventy Years of Struggle at Last Crowned With Victory High Lights of the Movement and Some Immortal Name. Washington. The United States gets equal suffrage. Washington and Tennessee have ratified the constitu tional amendment. This makes 80 states. i The legislatures of the states of Washington mid Delaware met In special .session March 22 to pass upon the ratification of the woman suffrage amendment to the Constitution as passed by congress June 4, 1919: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." In general the situation as to the ratification of the amendment was as follows Ratification necessary by legisla tures of three-fourths of the 48 states of the Union. j Amendment rntlfiod by 34 states, beginning with Wisconsin, June 10, 1919, and ending with West Virginia. March 10, 1020. Ratification in Ohio before United States Supreme court. Amendment defeated by six states: Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland. The situation In the remaining six states was ns follows: i Connecticut and Vermont had no regular sessions until ul. Govs, ly bOO of these pickets and the 1m Murcus H. Holcomb and P. W. Ole-1 position of jail sentences had no ef- Sewing Thirty-sixth Star ment had refused to call special ses sions. Florida and Tennessee could not vote in 1020 because of constitutional provision. The Louisiana legislature was sched uled to meet In May. The North Carolina legislature was to meet In special session in August. Gov. T. W. Bickett had declared his intention of asking for ratification. Washington ratified In March. Del aware refused In June; Louisiana in July. Culls for special sessions were refused by the governors of Connecti cut, Florida and Vermont, The Uni ted States Supreme court upheld the Ohio ratification, holding that the Uni ted States Constitution overrode state constitutions as to details of ratifica tion methods. Under this decision 'Tennessee called a special session to act on ratification. It Is 70 yeurs since the organized movement for woman suffrage was begun In the United States. In the first part of the nineteenth century woman suffrage was spasmodically ad vocated In print and from the pint form. But It was not until 1848 that Lnerefla Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton called a woman suffrage con vention at Seneca Falls, N. Y., which launched a "declaration of senti ments" and passed a resolution de manding equal suffrage. These are two immortal names In American history. Lucretla Coffin Mott (1703-1880) was born In Nan tucket, Msss., of Quaker parents. After teaching, she became an "ac knowledged minister" of the Friends. She married James Mott, who worked with his wife against slavery. Ellznbeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902) was horn In Johnstown,, N. T. She married In 1840 Henry B. Stanton, a journalist and antt-slavery speaker. From 1869 to 1893 she was president of the National Woman's Suffrage as sociation. Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) joined with Lucretla Mott and Eliza- beth Cady Stanton In organizing the woman suffrage movement. She be came In time the real leader of the movement; certainly she was its mili tant suffragist. Born in Adams, Mass.. she came of Quaker stoeta, and early doi-oted herself to "temperance" (the prohibition of those days) and to the abolition of slavery. For several years after the Civil war Miss Anthony endeavored to se cure an interpretation of the four teenth and fifteenth amendments which would allow women to vote. Finally, In. 1872, at Rochester, N. Y, she tried to force an Interpretation by voting at the polls. She was arrested and fined. She refused to pay the fine, bnt was not sent to Jail. In 1875 Miss Anthony drafted the amendment to the Constitution which has now been ratified. In 1878 the amendment was Introduced In the senate by Senator Sargent of Califor nia. It was defeated In 1887 and thereafter was not even debated In congress until 1914. During the years the constitution al amendment campaign was making no progress the women won many vic tories In ihe states. They received full suffrage in 15, presidential suf frage in 12 and partial suffrage in sev eral others. The National American Woman Suffrage association In 1912 opened headquarters In Washington and be- n an active campaign for the passage; of the amendment. The National Woman's party, or ganized in 1910 by Alice Paul, estab lished Washington headquarters In 1913 and Introduced the militant Into the Campaign. Alice Paul the third Qunkeress to Immortalize herself is the spectacu lar figure of the struggle. She Is a practical politician and developed the deadliest card Index on members of congress that practical politics has ever seen. Pretty soon she wus serv ing notice through the White House pickets that the president was the "man higher up." The arrest of near- on Ratification Banner. feet. Incidentally Miss Paul herself served seven terms In Jail. In 180!) wore formed two national 1 giinizntions: National Woman Suf frage association, with Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony leaders and head quarters in New York; American Woman Suffrage association, with Mary A. Livermore, Julia Ward Howe and Lucy Stone leaders and head quarters In Boston. The line of division between them was this: The former wished to concentrate on the passage of a con stitutional amendment; the latter was In favor of obtaining the suf frage through amendments to state constitutions. In 1S00 the two organ izations were united under the name of National American Woman Stif fuge Association, and work wns Pushed along both lines of endeavor, lurs. .iiuuion was president until 1882. t Miss Anthony served until 1000, resigning at the age. of eighty. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt was Its head, 1900-1004. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, recently deceased and possibly best loved of nil the leaders a wom an of transcendent gifts and elo quence wns president until 1915. Mrs. Catt wns then again chosen. Mrs. Frank Leslie left a large legacy to Mrs. Catt to be used In the work. The National association made ar rangements at the SL Louis conven tion of 1919 to dissolve its organiza tion and become the League of Wom en Voters. These arrangements be came effective at the Chicago conven tion In February Inst So the League of Women Voters now holds sway over something like 27,000,000 po tential American women voters. Mrs. Cntt. who Is also the head of th International Woman Suffrage alli ance, which she founded In 1904, It honorary chairman; Mrs. Maud Wood Park Is chairman; Mis. Richard Ed wards of Indiana, treasurer; Mrs Solon Jacobs of Alabama, secretary and there is a board of regional dl rectors. STRIKERS IN BATTLE E FIERCE CONFLICT IS REPORTED FROM CIRTSVILLE IN WEST VIRGINIA. PHONE LINES ARE SEVERED Machine Guns Are Said to Have Been Used by Workers In Fight Against Private Guards Wires Re ported Cut Charleston, W. V. Striking miners and private mine guards were fight ing at Cirtsvllle, Raleigh County, West Virginia, according to advices received here by Col. Jackson Arnold, comman der of the state police, from Corporal Roads, who Is stationed In that region. The corporal telephoned the report, colonel Arnold announced. He added that, according to the message, strik ing miners of the Welrwood Coal Company at Cirtsvllle were engaged in battle with the guards and that miners of the Willis Branch Ceal company had Joined forces with the guards and were using machine guns, The corporal made no mention of cas ualties. Dr. C. C Lee, secretary of the Willis Branch Coal company, at Glen Jean, told the Charleston Gazette by tele phone that the shooting could be heard In Glen Jean, 10 miles from Cirtsvllle. He said that all efforts to get in touch with persons near Cirtsvllle had failed and that officials of the telephone com pany had informed him that "the wires have been cut." MUST STAND BY PLATFORM Measure to Be Offered Legislatures Is Aimed Against Betrayal of Prom ises to People. Washington A bill to make plat forjn pledges binding is to be sought at the hands of every state legislature. Tte act that makes failure of a legis lature official to vote according to the platform on which he is elected a fel ony was drafted by a member'of the president's cabinet and has been sent, to the governor of teery state with the expectation that It will be Intro duced at the first session of the leg islature of that-state. Special elections are In sight In New York and North (Carolina, while the Tennessee legislature is still unad journed and while these special ses sions have been called for specific purposes, there is nothing to prevent other legislation being taken up. The object of the bill is, of course, to put an end to the spectacle of can didates promising all sorts of reforms and then letting political expediency or other considerations Influence them to betray their constituents. In other words, an electorate is entitled at the hands of its agents the legislative endides to the legislation to send a man to the state capital or to con gresR to enact. The theory is that a candidate is given his election on certain specified conditions and when he violates these conditions ho is as much guilty of em bezzlement as any other man who takes the consideration named in a contract and violates that contract.
