Anti-Suffrage Forces Hope After Tennessee Ratifies
Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby planned to issue a proclamation declaring the National Woman Suffrage Amendment part of the U.S. Constitution once Tennessee’s ratification was confirmed.

Anti suffragists retained a chance to reintroduce the measure as Speaker Wallace switched his vote to aye, enabling potential reconsideration within two days. Final ratification tally was 50 to 46 with Democrats 35 aye 34 no and Republicans 15 aye 12 no.

Capt. Sinclair Street, commander of the New York to Nome aeroplane fleet, urged Alaska to adopt air mail service from the South to the Interior. Mayor Rh E Robertson of Juneau, who met Street near Wrangell, said aviation is practical and economical for Alaska, with hydroplanes landing on water along the coast and inland waters serving as landing spots. The party, including Territorial Fish Commissioner Garfield and J K Barragar, traveled with Capt. William Dickinson aboard the wagboat Santa Rita, reaching Wrangell after three planes had departed north. Street remained to repair a propeller after an accident. The group then returned to Juneau after foray and fishing.
