Synopsis

Excerpt from The Johns Hopkins Alumni Magazine, Vol. 10: Published in the Interest of the University and the Alumni, November, 1921 A fundamental change in the form of our governmental structure has come about if the Woman Suffrage Amendment to the Federal Constitution is sustained by the Supreme Court. (1) In ratifying the Amendment 38 State Legislatures, some of them 3000 miles away from the persons their action affects, have deliberately undertaken to determine, as cavalierly as if they were passing a local statute for themselves, who shall and shall not vote in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, whose people they do not know, whose delicate and difficult race question they can not understand. Yet this is done by force, in absolute indifference to the protests of the unwilling States. Thirty-four of these ratifying legislatures, elected before the Amendment was submitted and therefore lacking a mandate, acted generally in hastily called special sessions with little or no debate.
