The suffrage supporters had two more than the necessary two .miuo <ui<- m ?<-niiiurs present. ttad| all the senators known to be In favor of suffrage been present the amendment would have had 6 0 votes, or two more than a two-thirds vote of the entire senate. The amendment, having already been passed by the house, where the vote was I104 to S9, now goes to the states for ratification, whore it will he passed upon in the form in which it has boon adopted by congress, as follows: "Articlo ?, Section 1.?The right of citizens of the United Stales to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex. "Section 2.?Congress shall have < power, by appropriate legislation, to. enforce the provisions of this ar- 1 tide." Leaders of the National Woman's. 1 Party announced that they would at J < onee embark upon a campaign to ob- ] tain ratification of the amendment 1 by the necessary three-fourths of 1 the states so that women might have the vote in the next Presidential, election. To achieve this ratiflcn-j i tion it will be necessary to hold spe- i rial sessions of some legislatures;* which otherwise would not convene' i until after the Presidential election I 3n 1920. Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the Woman's Party, predicted that, < the campaign for ratification would ; succeed and that women would vote < lor the next President. i Suffragists thronged the senate < jpalleries in anticipation of the final, 1 vote, and when the outcome was an- ' liounced by President Pro Tern.

"No vote of mine cast upon th amendment would deprive any of tl electors of my state of any privilei they now enjoy," said the senato "1 feel so strongly that the peop of the several states should he pe mitted to decide for themselves, th; I am frank to say that, if th amendment, instead of being drafte to extend woman suffrage all ov< the country, were drafted to forbi the extension of the franchise to w< men in the states, I would vol against it. Even though one migt be opposed on general principles t the extension of the franchise t women, one cannot logically olijei to the people of a state settling thi question for themselves.
