Today -100: June 24, 1920: Of derries, women’s suffrage, and death and taxes

Yet another day of running battles in Derry/Londonderry, with the British army not making much of a dent. And there’s a destroyer, because that’ll totally help.

Tennessee Gov. Albert Roberts agrees to call a special session of the Legislature to deal with the federal women’s suffrage Amendment. Democratic women are happy that Harding refused to pressure the governors of Vermont and Connecticut to do the same, leaving it to a Democratic state to, potentially, push it over the top. Also, Pres. Wilson was willing to do what Harding was not, ask a governor of his own party to take steps towards ratification, in a public telegram.
