Every paper here printed it the next morning.
Gray marks wire copy, the same story sent to many papers. Red marks what each paper wrote for itself. Switch to “Only what changed” to see just the red.
Only here: “Colby Signs Ratification Of Suffrage…”
Only here: “WOMAN SUFFRAGE NOW CERTAINTY…”
Only here: “i COLBY SIGNS; SUFFRAGE IS NOW HISTORY…”
