From The Indianapolis News, Friday, January 16, 1920: The Indiana legislature today ratified the woman suffrage amendment to the United States Constitution, becoming the twenty-sixth state to favor granting women political equality with men. When ten more states approve ratification, the amendment will become a part of the federal Constitution. The General Assembly was called into special session by Gov. James Goodrich, and the Senate was the first chamber to adopt a resolution ratifying the amendment by a vote of 43 to 3. When the vote was announced, the packed gallery and floor of several hundred women broke into applause. After the House voted 93 to 0 in favor of the resolution, a band in the hall struck up “Glory, Glory Hallelujah” and scenes of wildest joy prevailed with women singing, scores rushing into the corridor, embracing and shaking hands.
