yXy believe firmly that the concensus Of opinion In
w Delaware Ia In favor Of tho calling Of special
session OF the Legislature for the purpose Of ratfyns
the Federal constitutional amendment providing for
woman suffrage.
WIN equal nrnness we believe that the sentiment
10 our state Is Overwhelmingly in favor OF restricting
the work OF that special session to the consideration Of
woman suffrage
The people do not want such session TO be used as
an excuse for the state Senators and tho State Repre-
sentstves going TO Dover and camping out thors to
spend weeks at tho public expense and to amend or ne
peal existing laws and enact new ones
All such things well may await the next regular iesis-
latNe session.
This suffrage amendment however should not walt
our state should pass upon ~ at the earliest possible
time the present Legislature should take 10 Itself the
credit for having dealt in Intelligent and twentieth
century msnner with this sll-important question.
The situation IS follows;
Governor Townsend eancall the special session Of the
Legislature.
lie cannot however restrict tho work Of that session
to the suffrage amendment
The only way in which that can be brought about "a
by a majority Of the members Of the Senate and ma
orty Of the members OF tho House entering into formal
agreement that n he VIII call special session TO ratfy

part in that work OF enfranchisement
whes no is not in favor Of. and what tho people of
our state not favor Of is having that suffrage
special session thrown wide open 10 the consideration

exceedingly perncious and harmful nature.
Il seems TO us that the thing TO be done by the su
