Oregon women win equal suffrage vote in legislature
In Oregon a special hearing backed by Abigail Scott Duniway and Dr. Annice E. Jeffreys led to passage of the suffrage amendment in both chambers by wide margins. Senators Fulton and Bownell aided the effort, with a 25 to 1 Senate vote and a 48 to 6 House vote. Plans for large ratification celebrations in Salem and Portland followed, signaling a major progressive milestone amid prior opposition. The piece notes contrasts with earlier anti suffrage sentiment and hints at future momentum for ratification campaigns and further legislative victories.
