Suffrage To Wait.
Senate Decides Definitely to Postpone Women's Wants.
Washington, May 10.--Formal announcement of the definite postponement of
consideration of the woman's suffrage resolution was made in the sentate today
by Senator Jones of New Mexico, chairman of the Woman's Suffrage committee. As
soon as sufficient votes can be obtained to insure its adoption he said, the
measure will be taken up. Senator Smith of Georgia said when women in his state
desired suffrage, a constitutional amendment would not be necessary to get it.
Senator Martin, majority leader, said he would be glad to see the question
submitted to a referendum in Virginia.
Senator Curtis of Kansas asserted that "two-thirds of the Republicans are ready
to vote any time." Thirty-two Republicans, he said, are ready to vote for the
amendment, eleven are opposed to it, and one is doubtful.
Senator Reed of Missouri, insisted on a vote today as did Senator Gallinger,
minority leader.
