Washington, D. c.. June 4.--"The
women of this country will vote In
the 1890 election"
That declaration was made by Alice
Paul, chairman of the National wom-
ans Party. in message received
from her by Miss Maud Younger, lob
by chairman, in the senate gallery to-
day.
Miss Paul was not IN Washington
for the suffrage victory. She has been
touring Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania,
Illinois. Michigan and Minnesota for
the past two weeks. planning ratifica-
ton campaigns with the state leaders
OF the woman's party.
Miss Paufs message continued:
Women who have taken part In
the long struggle for freedom feel
today the full relief of the victory
Freedom has come not as a gift but
as a triumph, and it is therefore a
spiritual as well az a political free
dom which women receive.
But the years behind can now
well be forgotten, for in the final act
of women's enfranchisement all po-
litical parties have acted with cordial
generosity and the country has sup
ported our cause with enthusiasm.
There Is no doubt OF immediate
ratification. We enter upon this final

Finding that without political pow

were gradually turned to state cam.

Though American women were the
first to demand freedom of women
