Wider suffrage clash stalls bill for women voting in city ballots
In a heated General Court session the house rejected a bill allowing women to vote for school committee and all town and city officers. Debate featured supporters like Bicknell and Hildreth against opponents including Morison and Durant, with a roll call: 49 yeas 117 nays. The measure would have required majority female approval in any such election.

Republican Tariff Resolution Faces Senate Amendments
The Massachusetts Senate debated Metcalf’s tariff revision resolve with amendments from Sen. Donovan and Pinkerton. Voting split 7 yeas to 22 nays on amendments, then the body accepted Metcalf’s resolve with Pinkerton’s change by the same margin, minus Harlow who voted no. A separate measure on liquor sales by innkeepers was sent back to committee for hearings after objections from police commissioners and debate on timing. A petition urged a legislative committee to probe mismanagement at the Sherborn Women’s Reformatory Prison, leading to a three-senator plus house member inquiry.
