The primary article discusses Tennessee's vote for the woman suffrage amendment by a tally of 50 to 46 after three ballots had been taken. The first two ballots resulted in a tie of 48 to 48. The original tally on the third ballot was 49 to 47 but Speaker Walker changed his vote from "no to aye" which would allow him to bring up a motion to reconsider the resolution.

Additional sections discuss the appeal by the National Woman's Party to Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby to issue a proclamation declaring the ratification so that women could participate in August primaries being held in many states.

"Suffrage Fight Started in 1848; Illinois First State to Ratify"
