Against Woman Suffrage: Repub- 15; Democrats, 27. Of the 47 votes for Woman Suf- ge only four came from south of ine Mason and Dixon line. The Solid wath, composing the bulk of the} mocratic party, and dominating its jon, was against giving women the gat to vote. 5 The Republicans stood two to one or of the resolution. The Dem- ts stood three to two against it. Democrats Strangle Suffrage ssion of the Sixty- ird Congress, during the summer if 1914, Democratic leaders in both ie House and the Senate “got to- her” and refused to allow the yestion of suffrage to be presented p either branch of Congress for con- jideration and a vote. They were able odo this because they controlled the chinery in both branches, South- mm Democrats having a majority on i the committees and all the chair-| s, as well as the Committee | = Republi- i Pnished over ‘twice as many votes + “ Republicans: For, 172; against, 33. | When it came to the Senate it was | immediately evident that Demécratic | 5m epee | F tion to it would again defeat | it,, unless> President could -per- | ruad : the! members of hig own party } :to stand ‘by him and Support the reso- | lation.

The} old race’ prejudice which keeps the| South ‘solidly Demotratic was} stronger than the appeals of the| President, With a clear majority in the Sen- Ate, the.

The Solid South is against Woman Suf- frage. No Democratic Congress is possible which is not controlled by the Solid. South. Camouflaging Behind Wilson | The Democratic party now is try- ing to camouflage its inherent andj} unalterable opposition to Woman | Suffrage by sending out millions of copies of President.

The big thing i: Wilson spoke ‘in Livck of equal suf-) frage but that 21 members of his; |} own party ‘refused to pay the least | Nebr. attention either to his public address or his personal appeals to them in be- half of giving women the right to! vote and defeated the resolution | which would have submittéd woman suffrage amendment to the Constitu- tion to the several states for ratifica- tion. The hope of Woman Suffrage is in a Republican Congress, free from Southern domination.
