President Wilson hears suffrage sides clash in White House
Washington December 14. Both suffrage camps pressed President Wilson. The National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage thanked him for opposing a federal constitutional amendment, while the National American Woman Suffrage Association urged support and a suffrage plank in the Democratic platform. Wilson remained noncommittal, noting he has a proposal under consideration to change his position. Over 1,000 suffragists and about 200 anti suffragists greeted him, with a quieter display than in past White House visits. Dr Anna Howard Shaw led the suffragists, and Mrs Arthur Dodge headed the opposing group.
