that Delaware Republicans would be
so Indifferent 10 the national interests
OF their party as % take action In the
Legislature which would jeopardize The
success Of the party at the polls next
November.
It must no. be forgotten that seven
teen million women have the right 10
vote for President next November,
whether the Federal suffrage amendment
Is ratified or not. These women voters
are watching the action on suffrage In
every State and their votes will natu-
rally be Influenced by the attitude OF
the responsible party toward ralinca-
tlon."
The fact that national leaders Of the
