HOUSE PASSES SUFFRAGE BILL CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT | ADOPTED 274 TO 126. rt Unexpected Opposition Develops De- spite President's Eleventh Hour Speech. Washington.—The Woman Suffrage Constitutional Amendment bill passed the house by a vote of 274 to 136. Only the bare two-thirds majority was obe tained, Speaker Clark not voting. J The result was so close that the vie tors had actually not a single vote to 410 votes (the 136 “Nays”) spare. Two-thirds of a —— -— total of 274 “Ayes” and makes 2731-3, but the house purlia- mentarian ruled that you can “not split a man” into one-third or any Had not Representatives Mann and Sims both risen from their sick beds in order to vote “Aye” the result would have been in jeopardy. The only thing that could have saved the suffrage day would have been that with only one of these men present, there still Speaker Clark to be counted upon. The suffragists had him in “an ace in the hole,” for he was scheduled to vote was “Aye.” The resolution must be adopted by the senate to become effective. Ilecent elaborate polls of the senate show that four converts must be made to insure victory. Unexpected opposition to t i- / ment bill, which developed di he J day in spite of the Presiden enth hour declaration in favor of the measure, kept the result uncertain up to the very last checking up of the final roll call. On a final roll call the division was: For the resolution, 274; against it, 136; absent and paired, 13; vaca: cies, 6.
