The main headline on the front page is "Suffrage Battle is Won! Tennessee Ratifies Today/ 25 Million Women Are Given Ballot" The paper features photographs of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, and Susan B. Anthony.
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.

Florence Kenyon Hayden Rector (Mrs. James Rector), the first licensed woman architect in Ohio and a member of the National Advisory Council of the National Woman's Party, makes this plea to suffragists to support the National Woman's Party and take action for the ratification of the federal suffrage amendment.
She gives reasons why every woman should support the National Woman's Party and urges state and local chairmen to call meetings, read the history, and ask for financial support. She highlights the fact that Columbus, Ohio, where she lives, raised $6,600 dollars.
This essay is unbound, printed by mimeograph. The Lewis collection includes two copies of this manuscript.
