Senate approves woman suffrage bill for possible 1926 vote
Des Moines reports the Iowa Senate passed a woman suffrage resolution 35 to 13 with two absentees. The Kimball amendment to submit a ballot question to women was withdrawn after 26 senators agreed to support it only if framed as a bill. Debate centered on legality and to what extent women would decide. Supporters foresee future victory, while opponents warn of lack of legal standing. The bill heads to the house with expectations of a strong fight, and thrift and civic campaigns continue statewide. Also notes the death of 14 year old Maret Nachtrieb from an accidental shooting.
