The Resolution, recently reported by the judiciarycommittee and now pending before the House, which pro- poses an amendment to- the Constitu- tion of the United States: extending the right of suffrage to women, reads as follows: "'"■.

The real question.'is' not why Should women'have the ballot. The question is why should' she not have it.
