Bartford, Jan 16 Advocates of woman suffrage begin a biennial push when a constitutional amendment for enfranchisement is introduced in the House. The proposal mirrors the defeated measure from two years ago and will go to the committee on woman suffrage and constitutional amendments for hearings. If approved, it advances to both chambers two years hence for possible referendum and ratification. Emily Pierson calls for broad organization and notes most lawmakers appear open to submission to voters. The Equal Rights League seeks representation at hearings amid strong opposition from anti suffrage factions.
