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"
"Epitome of Women's Battle for Suffrage" with timeline of major events from 1848 to 1920
