BOTH SIDES CLAIM

March 24-Friends and foes of woman suffrage both claimed points in today's preliminary skirm- ishes in the legislature to make Del aware the thirty sixth state needed for ratification of the equal suffrage amendment to the federal constitution Introduction today of ratification res- o1utions in both senate and house opened the actual struggle. Plans to delay a final vote until next week were made py tie suffragists while the op- ponents pressed for decisive action on Friday. Both sides continued conff- dent of the outcome.
 Advantages claimed by the suffra- gists today were the postponement or a vote and the reference of the senate and house ratification resolutions to committees regarded as friendly. Anti suffragists leaders claimed a severe blow was given the ratificationists m a round robin signed today by 21 house members pledging themselves 70 vote against ratifying.

LABOR PAPER NOW
 ASKS CANDIDATES
 ABOUT THEIR FUNDS
rRepubrfcan A. p. Lea.ed Wire1

WASHINGTON. March 24.-Another questionaire for presidential aspirants. this time relating to campaign ex- penditures, was made public today by Labor, a weekly paper published by the fl recognized railroad labor organ izations.
 Reports that some candidates were spending large sums were given as the reason for submission of the ques- tipnnaire, which was in the form of a letter to a dozen democrats and re- publicans mentioned for the nomina- ton. Pointing out that the president is entrusted by the constitution with the appointment of the federal ju- dietary and that he is becoming more and more influential in shaping legislation the letter declared that the gravity of charges concerning fm~ proper expenditures could not be ex- aggerafed.
 Apparently there is no >adequate provision in the 1aws' the letter con tinued. Ito safeguard the selection of delegates to national party conven- tions. candidates for the presidency and their friends may, so far as fed- eral statutes are concerned, expend as much money as they see fit to af- feet the result
 Tn view of these self evident facts Labor respectfully asks you to answer the following questions.
 4 IS yOuT CdIupSliS lI- nanced? How much have you ex- pended to date, and how much do you expect to expend before the national convention of your party meets? Will you be good enough to furnish the names of contributors to your cam Daign fund. or to any fund which is to be used in your behalf and the amounts of contributions? Will you, before your national convention meets. make a further sworn statement of expenditures, together with lists of contributors. and furnish same to the press?
 Second--Are you willing to join in an appeal to congress to immediately enact legislation which will compel all candidates for the presidency to make sworn returns to some official of the national government showing all moneys expended by the candidates, or any one acting in their behalf. to- gether< with the names of. contributors to the candidates campaign fund. or to any fund which may be raised in their behalf?
 We want to assure you that this letter is not to be construed as an in dictment of the methods of any can didate.i

DECLINES ID CALL
 SUFFRAGE SESSION

HARTFORD, Conn, March 24.- Gov. M. H. Holcomb, republican, in 9 statement tonight flatly refused to call a special session of the Connecticut general assembly to act on the federal suffrage amendment. The republican state convention, by an almost unani- nous vote sin New Haven this after noon, called upon the governor to call a special session so that it might be possible for Connecticut to be the thirty-sixth state to ratify the suffra ge amendment.
 Gov. Holcomb's statement said:
 'aThe adoption by 36 states of the fed- eral suffrage amendment will change our constitution, but until it is changed my oath of office requires me to sup- port it in it's unaltered form.
 If Connecticut should be one of the 36 states to adopt the suffrage amend ment by the vote Of the general assem- bly,, and thereby change our constitu- ton without the concurring vote of the electors of the state. it would be con- trary to the provisions of our constitu- tion."

 About 4,OOO = Johnson Retains Place as Close Third--Poindexter Makes Poor Showing Throughout
lRepubIican A. P. Leased Wirel

SIOUX FALLS. s. D.. March 24.- Additional returns tonight from coun- try precincts on yesterdays primary election increased the total precincts heard from to 1,1S5 out of 1,740, and candidates for presidential indorse- ment by South Dakota republicans re- ceived the following totals:
 Wood, 27,666; Lowden, 23,3S5; and Johnson. 21,735.
 About 300 of the GOT precincts still out are in isolated sections of the state. The latest state manual shows that the republican vote for governor at the 1916 election in five missing counties-Harding Bennett, Mellette, Dewey and Ziebach--was 2,016.
 Complied returns included the com pIete vote in 12 counties. Twenty counties were within three precincts each of being complete. These 32 counties. with two exceptions, are the most important population centers of the state.
 Five of the seven counties which have not reported are in isolated dis tricts and most of their precincts are without telegraph or telephone facili- ties. The returns compiled represent about three quarters of the voting strength of the state.
 Wood Leading In 33 Counties
 Wood carried or was leading in B of the counties which had reported, Johnson was ahead in 13, and 10 had shown pluralities for Lowden. One county reported a tie between Wood and Lowden. Comparison of the re- turns with returns from the last pri- mary election showed the vote was light in most counties, despite the right of suffrage.
 Many precincts did not report any vote cast for Senator Miles Poindexter, who was an independent candidate for presidential indorsement. Tabulation of the scattering returns gave Poin- dexter about $50 votes. He polled less than 90 votes in Sioux Falls and Min nehaha county.
 Governor Peter Norbeck and W. H. McMaster were nominated by the re- publicans for United States senator, and governor. respectively. Norbeck and McMaSter were endorsed by the and were opposed by Judge Dick Haney of Huron and R. O. Richards Of Huron. McMaster had a larger plur- ality over Richards than Norbeck held over Haney on the face of incomplete returDs. With very few exceptions however. the counties bave substantial pluralities to the convention candi- dates.
 Richards is the author of the present primary election law. He participated in number of debates with McMaster prior to the primary and he went on record as favoring liberal enforce ment of the federal prohibition law" One recommendation was to permit light wine and beer to be sold as mer- chandise to persons of moral respon- sibility."

 RAILWAY VALUATION
IRepubIican A. P. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, March 24.-- Hear ings before the interstate commerce commission to determine methods of railway valuation prior to adjusting rates to give the standard return under the transportation act were concluded today with the representatives of the carriers. security holders and the ma- jority of the shippers favoring the in vestment accounts of the roads as a minimum basis" of value against de- termined opposition by the state rail- road commissioners.
 Final arguments of the three day session were made by S. T. Bledsoe Of Chicago and Fl. F. Wood of New York, for the Association of Railway Execu- tives. Denying the contention of the state commissioners that the accounts are not evidence of value under the Jaw Mir. Bledsoe declared the book ac- counts" more nearly approyimated the value than any other evidence. The carriers were gratified, Wood said, that the shippers told the commission that ,ss- were more interested in the p.. motion of service and extension of transportation facilities than in exact rates. With the granting of sufficient rates. he said, the roads could afford the adenuate service desired
 Grouping Of the railroads for the purpose of valuation and r1te fixing played a minor part in the hearings Representatives Of the shippers of the southwest asked for division of the western freight classification group to form a southwestern group on the grounds that the needs of that section require rate adjustments apart from the whole Of the west. Northwestern shippers also asked for a subdivision. but representatives from the eastern and southern groups and the body of IT. 4lx &.-&x. <>E I-- established classification, for the pres ent at least.

 LEGION, CLAIM
[RepubIican A. P. Leased wire1

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Repre scntatives of the American legion, pre- senting today to the house ways and means committee a revised optional plan for soldier relief, charged that agitators were trying to recruit into the l. w. w. former service men who were discontented because of the fail- Gre of congress to provide.
 J. Holden, adjutant of the Utah le- zion. testified that organized propa- eanda to discredit government aid and undermine the American legion was being disseminated by the I. w. w throughout the country. While some soldiers had been misled into joining the organization. the rank and fife he said, stood firm against such influences.
 Urging immediate relief. !. G. Scrugham of Nevada, member of the executive committee of the legion, de- clared there was '.seething unrest among former service men and women who felt they had not received square deal.
 They are chafing with unrest and believe congress should take some ac- ton for their relief" he said.
 Holden told the committee that while partially disabled and in hospitals. at tractive young women gave him l. W. ". literature. which said the gov ernment had protected munltion work CTS, war contractors and others from great losses, but had done nothing for former soldiers. These pamphlets urged ex-service men to join the I. w. W.
 "In the Utah mining camps the l. w. w. outnumbered the former ser vice men six to one and are making vigorous efforts to wipe out legion organizations" Holden said.
 Any beneficial legislation for for mer service men should include heirs Of those who died or were killed, de- ca-ed Mrs. Herman H. Birney. of Philadelphia. representing the war mothers of America.
 'Our first duty should be to the rela- lives of those who did not return and to the wounded" she added.
 Representative Gallivan democrat. Massachusetts. supporting the pro- posed relief plan. declared soldiers had returned from France to find an orgy of reckless spending. and as result felt they had received raw deal"
 '.No adequate compensation has been made to them" he said. and the only example of the governments gratitude was the s60 tip they received when discharged-'
