Suffragists Track Outlook on Democratic Platform
In St Louis on June 15 suffragists assessed the sub committee’s lean toward suffrage as not favorable. Only Rainey Walsh and Hollis favored it, with Martin, Stanley, Pomerone, and Fitz Gerald opposing. Chair Stone and Palmer are believed to favor administration policy of endorsement without a constitutional amendment. The committee’s stance mirrors the Republicans, pleasing the National American Woman Suffrage Association but displeasing the Women’s Party. President Wilson’s draft plank suggested suffrage, signaling potential attention from the resolutions committee.
