Anthony Amendment Before the Senate
Washington dated report on the Susan B. Anthony woman suffrage amendment as the Senate began final consideration. The House approved it January 10 and, if two thirds vote passes, states will ratify until 36 approve. Expectations were favorable but risks remained with pro and anti suffrage camps ready to adjust. Senate leaders planned time for debate, with President Wilson backing suffrage and hoping southern senators stay away to avoid votes. Three newly appointed senators drew attention, Martin, Benet, and Culberson, but Culberson held pivotal interest in the Senate decision.
