WHY SUFFRAGIsTs ARE moPrruL.

N ELAWATlE sunIagists express confidence that they
~ VIII win from the present Legislature suffrage
amendment to the state Constitution. They base their
confidence the fact that in 1916 all the national
parties adopted planks favoring woman suffrage and
that the Republican and the Democratic parties which
control the state government here declared specifically
in favor OF votes for through state enact
ment
That the matter may be better understood by the
public, it may be we'll 70 set forth here the several
planss Of the national parties:
Republican Planlk-The Republican party reafBrmine
It's faith in government of the people by the people
for the people, as measure OF justice to one-half
the adult people this country favors the extension
each state to settle this question for itself
Democratic Plank-We recommend the extension OF
the franchise to the women of the country by the
States upon the same terms to men,"
Progressive Planl-We believe that the women of
the country who share with men the burdens OF gov
eminent in times OF peace and make equal sacrifice in
time OF war; should be given the full political right OF
suffrage both by State and federal action
Prohibition Plank-The right Of citizens of the
United States to vote should be denied abridged
We declare in favor OF the Acknowledgement OF
women by amendment to State and federal constitu
ton.
Socialist Plank Unrestricted and equal suffrage for
men and women. 2. The immediate adOntion of the
Susan b. Anthony amendment to the constitution OF the
United States granting the suffrage to women on equal
Nor should the fact be ignored that the Delaware
delegates to the Republican and the Democratic ma
uonai conventions voted lor the adoption or the ma
onal platforms and that subsequently those platforms
were accepted respectively in their entirety by the
Republican and the Democratic State Conventions in
Delaware.
1t will be SEEN therefore that the sufragsts will go
to Dover well fortified by party pledges in making
their argument for extension Of the suffrage to
Delaware women. Nor the anti-suffragsts in this
State fail TO realize that the national parties
have left them at serious disadvantage in combating
such extension.
/ It bids fair to be an exceedingly interesting fight
