The letters received with the bon

early in the year an advance was
made in the price of sugar, at which
time one of the sugar manufactur-
ers felt justified in distributing
among its growers as a bonus 81
per ton for beets delivered from
which the sugar was made.
AT that time this company did
not feel warranted in acting as lib
orally with its growers and conse-
quently did not pay bonus. An
other advance has now been made

this company has very small
amount of it, nevertheless, feels that
its growers should share in the

LEADERS PREDICT
RATIFICATION OF
SUFFRAGE SOON
Confident Five States Will Pass
National Amendment Within
Three Months.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, April 25.-Suffragist
leaders predict the ratification OF the
national amendment within three
months by at least two and possibly
North Carolina, Connecticut and
all five states of Delaware, Louisiana,
Vermont.
Much OF the antagonism displayed
by members of the Delaware legis-
latufe, which will reconvene May 5,
has faded away before the earnest
campaign carried on by suffrage
workers and political leaders in be-
half OF ratification. The situation
now is reversed and suffrage forces
are urging an early vote, while the
antis are fighting for delay.
Louisiana, where the legislature
meets i'll regular session May 10,
may race with Delaware for the
honor of being the thirty-sixth
state to ratify.
A preliminary poll taken by the
national woman's party of the
North Carolina legislature which
will convene in special session in
July, was made public and bears out
its prediction that the amendment
will be ratified. Out of the total of
90 legislators, 50 pledged them
selves to vote for ratification, II
were definitely opposed, and II were
non-committal, many of the replies
showing decided pro-suffrage
tendency.
In Connecticut and Vermont ac-
tive campaigns are being carried on
by state and national leaders to per-
suade the governors to call special
sessions, majority of both legisla-
lures being counted by suffragists as
favorable to the amendment.

and sent out herd of sleuths 10
