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.
Articles on the front page include:
"Suffrage Fight Started in 1848; Illinois First State to Ratify"
"Epitome of Women's Battle for Suffrage" with timeline of major events from 1848 to 1920
"Tennessee's Action Puts State Fight in Turmoil/Await Proclamation by Colby; Will Affect the Primaries" discusses the impact women voters may have on the upcoming elections in Illinois.]]>
