Absent of terms such as “women” or “sex”, the language for Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8 appears intentionally neutral, labeled as “A Resolution to Propose to the People of the State of California an Amendment to Section One of Article Two of the Constitution in Relation to the Rights of Suffrage.” However, feelings about the amendment were decidedly strong. The arguments for and against Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8 were closely watched by suffrage organizations, with crowds of onlookers filling the gallery and the lobby of the Capitol. Authored by Republican State Senator Charles W. Bell from Pasadena, Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8 was passed by the Senate on February 2, 1911, receiving 66 ayes and 12 noes. Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 8 would be introduced to the public as Proposition 4 on the ballot for the special election scheduled for October 10, 1911, along with a variety of other reform amendments passed by the Senate.
