- This press release contains a 2 page statement by Carrie Chapman Catt about the machinations of the anti-suffragists to derail the ratification of the 19th Amendment by the Tennessee legislature. She refutes their constitutional arguments, calling their efforts "merely filibustering tactics" that were "subversive of majority rule."
