ENFRANCHISEMENT NIGH
Miss Philadelphia Confidently
Looks to Congress for a Fed
eral Amendment
By M'LISS
Are you Itepulillcan or Democratic or
Town Meeting, Miss Philadelphia'' Do ycu
know where to put your "X" mark? Have
you found your polling place? Formed
your political opinions?
Now's tho time, for, flushed with the vic
tory of the New York suffragists, Phila
delphia leaders predict that the time Is
nigh for your enfranchisement, as it is
righ for the enfranchisement of every
woman In the country.
With the landslide suffrage vote in New
York the climax of tho women' tight In
this country for the ballot lias been pised.
Nothing remain? to bo told cf that story,
suffragists assert, but tho last chapter
the gathering up of tho loose ends of which
Pennsylvania is one These loose ends, it
Is tho consensus of opinion, will be gath
ered up by the Klxty-fifth Congress, which
convene. In Washington in December. A
Federal amendment in tho nar future. It Is
tho emphatic prophecy, will mike nil women
free, even those of the reactionary States.
Then "finish" will havo to be written to
the sto-y.
It's been a thriller, tills talp of ihc Amer
ican woman's Indomitable strURglo for po
litical enfranchisement in the face of almost
Insuperable obstacles. It started with tho
efforts of hardy pioneer women who faced
ridicule and social ostracism in order to
gather recruits. Slowly and painfully the
work of Susan n. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and others grew, taking almost a
hundred years to reach the magnificent cul
mination which the New York vote repre
sents. PENNSYLVANIA LOOKS TO CONGRESS
What effect will the New York victory
have on the women of Pennsylvania?
That was tho question I asked some of
tho Philadelphia leaders.
"I'll tell you exactly what Is going to
happen," Mrs. George A. Dunning, chair
man of tho city party, replied with convic
tion. "We nre all going to vote very, very
soon. Nothing can keep us from it. When
Congress convenes you will see.
"The New York women put over the mopt
glorious campaign that has even been put
over by any body of workers. It was a
magnificent spcctaclo to watch women of
alt classes working In perfect unison with a
single dominating motive. Tho Justice of
our uemana maue tlielr work worth while.
And what they have done nnd won has
been not only for themselves, but for every
unenfranchised woman in the country.
"I do not believe that we shall have to
wait for Pennsylvania to enfranchise us.
We are looking toward Washington .rather
than toward Harrlsburg. To even get a
hearing here we should havo to wait for so
long a time until 1919 and the liquor
Interests and the other opposing forces arc

According to Mrs. George A. Plersol,
prominent worker here, the absolutely
democratlo spirit displayed by the New
York women and their Indefatigable energy
Is responsible for the victory tlint has put
.heart Into eVery suffragist In a non

nnd sagacity that makes It nccin ridicu
lous that these women have not had the
vote before.
"The New Yoik women woiked together,"
slio continued : "that Is their secret. It they
have any. As Mrs. Carrie Chnp'inaii Catt
said, 'The enemy knows the difference be
tween a hollow and a solid square.' Their
square was solid. Women with millions
worked sldo by side with women who hadn't
a penny to call tlielr own. They had a
great fine organization. There were not
various little clubs or cliques or 'sets' nil
working Individually and Ineffectually.
"New York will bring a tremendous In
fluence to bear on Congress to take a suf
frage vote. Think of the lepresentatlvcs
she has nloue and If representatives repie
sent the major opinion of .their constituents,
as they are supposed to do, they will rep
resent tlie suffrage opinion. What tho New
York women hao done Is a glorious thing."
ANTIS WONT ADMIT DEFEAT
Despite the overwhelming reports of a
landslide, however, tho "antis" refuse to
yield a lctory to tlielr rivals until tho last
ballot has been counted nnd tabulated.
"I have read tho Ledger," Mrs. George
P. White, spokesman for tho antls, said
severely, "and nlthough the headline says
that New York wins, tho figures do not sny
so. Tho figures show that a majority cf
100.000 were against suffrage."
It was pointed out to Mrs. White that
sho must liaxo misread, or read an early
edition of last night.
"I have seen tho S o'clock edition," she
answered, "the figures tell tho truth."
Tlie figures of the C o'clock edition show
438,320 for suffrage and 380,811 against.
The lcturns wero from 3820 districts out of
5722.
