In the House of Representatives, Dec 7th, 1905, Mr. French introduced the following bill, which was referred to the Committee on Election of President, and Representatives in Congress, and ordered to be printed: A bill to protect the rights of women citizens of the United States to register and vote for members of the House of Representatives. Whereas, The right to choose members of the House of Representatives is vested by the Constitution in the people of the several States without distinction of sex, but for want of proper legislation, has hitherto been restricted to one-haof the people. For the purpose, therefore, of correcting this error and of giving effect to the Constitution, Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that women who are citizens of the United States, and possess such qualifications of age, residence, property, or education, as may be required of men to make them legal voters in the several States, shall be eligible to register and vote in all States of the Union at all elections for members of the House of Representatives.
