WASHINGTON April 6.— Aft«-r a set-
back In the nenatfi, followed by Inactivity
on the part of the house committee on
judiciary, the woman nuffraKo advocate? j
have be^un to b« siege another conprea-
ftienal body—the house committe on elec-
tion of president, vice-president and rep- j
resentalives in congress.
The suffrngist^, failing to get a whole
loaf, now' are asking the latter committee >
to give them half a loaf, and the troubles
of the responsible democratic majority
over the suffrage issue are increasing, j
The feminine pleaders checked tempora-
rily in their plan for a constitutional ,
amendment for woman suffrage, are in-
sistent that congress shall at least give
women the right to vote in elections
where senators and house members are
named.
It was a dif-couraging blow when the
senate went back on the cause and failed
to muster the necessary two-thirds ma-
jority to submit to the people of the vari-
ous states a constitutional amendment
giving women the right to vote. While
the senate was debating such & resolu-
tion, the women were before the house
judiciary committee seeking a report on
a similar resolution in the lower body.
The house hearings were held early In
March but the committee has so far failed
to report in favor ot the suffragists and j
the prospects are that there will be no
report. Year after year, the suffragists
say, they have been appearing before the
judiciary committe and each time the
"mere men" of the committee have
turned the deaf ear.
In all, the suffragists have made four
valiant attempts during this session to
get action. On each occasion the anti-
suffragists have been on hand stubbornly
fighting their suffrage-craving sisters j
and declaring that the majority of women |
throughout the country does not want
the ballot. So far congress has appeared
to take at its face value the latter state-
ment, not unmixed with certain reason-
ing that suffrage Is a state matter and
that the federal government should keep
"hand off."
First, the suffragists begged the house
rules committee tu report a resolution
creating a distinct committee to handle
suffrage bills in the lower body of con-
gress. They claimed the woman were
tired of going to the judiciary committee,
which always was busy and never seemed
to care much about the suffrage cause.
The rules committee endeavored to side
track the issue and was successful until
members of the house from the suffrage
states forced a democratic caucus. The
suffragists were jubilant at the prospect
of bringing the members Into the open.
After a stiff caucus fight the women
were defeated through a resolution of-
fered by Representative Thomas Heflin,
of Alabama, which declared that suffrage
was a state and not a federal Issue. No
seperate house committee was created
Then came the long contest In the se
ate. with Senator Ashurst and Thomas
leading the fight for the suffragists
They lost out, getting a majority of but
one, whereas a two-thirds majority was
required. •
si* hours the house judiciary com-
mittee, with its big room packed to the
walls with suffragists and antis, beard
the feminine orators attack the house
ramparts.
The house committee listened patiently,
respectfuly. as It always does. The wom-
en filed out of the room and then the
committee turned to the trusts and to im-
proachment cases and shoved aside "the
cause." <
Undismayed, the women trudged to the
capital the fourth time within the ses-
sion and piled into the committee room of
the elections committee They argued
that at least congress might report out
of French resolution, which provides
merely that the question of sex shall not
bo raised In elections for senators and
house members This last appearance late
In March and was the final stand of the
suffragists for action at tills session of
congress
It Is now Improbable that any action
what ever in either branch of congress
can be had before the adjournment of the
first regular session of the sixty-third
congress Non-action means that the-suf-
fragists will go on the warpath, in many
districts next fall and attempt to swing
votes against democrats believed to have
been instrumental in denying the women
the right to vote, or at least of affording
congress proper the oppox'tunity to voje
