No Suffrage Act Now as Parties Watch Each Other
Senator Thomas of Colorado, head of the Senate suffrage panel, says Hughes endorsement is a bid for votes and does not reflect GOP sentiment. A Senate canvass shows the Anthony amendment would fail by at least five votes if voted on this session. Democrats seek a maneuver to trap Republicans and blame them for blocking the measure. Wilson maintains his position that states should handle woman suffrage and plans a statement before the National Woman Suffrage Association convention.
