Thus after a struggle lasting over fifteen months, the Legislature at its first opportunity ratified the Federal Suffrage Amendment, once, twice and thrice, and if there was any doubt about Tennessee there was none whatever about Connecticut. The long fight for ratification and the contest against Senator Brandegee made it impossible to organize a League of Women Voters in 1920.
I do not believe any was claimed . . . . MR. BRANDEGEE: Inasmuch as the law was sufficient to land them in jail . . . I fail to see why additional legislation is necessary on the subject. MR. MYERS: There seems to be a doubt in the mind of some whether the present law is sufficient and I think it ought to be put beyond doubt.

I want to ask one or two questions. The CHAIRMAN. Go ahead. Senator BRANDEGEE. Did you read any of these minutes of the meetings of the American commission? Mr. BULLITT. Of the American commission itself? Senator BRANDEGEE. Yes. Mr. BULLITT. No, sir. I have on one or two occasions glanced at them but I never have read them carefully.
Senator BRANDEGEE. Do you understand why it would be any more unwieldy if Congress should appoint the delegates than if the President should? Mr. BULLITT. It would necessitate a larger central body if representation was to be given to the important political parties of the various countries.

"I would tell him I was imitating somebody I had heard," solemnly responded Dick, with fair correctness. The ride began in the dark hour that comes before the dawn, and the train ran fast.
