Exclusive Statement for The Ne,
York Evening Worldly
CHICAGO. June Z.
WYE ARE plcketlng the Re-
w publican National Con-
vention in Chicago be-
cause the Republican Party has
become responsible for the con-
tinued delay in the ratification Of
suffrage.
After a years campaign Of un-
Daralleled Intensity we still need
one state to complete ratifica-
tlon. The Republican Party
could have given this one State
by ratlfylng suffrage in Della
ware, but the Republican Party
defeated suffrage In Delaware.
The Republican Party can give
the one needed State by ratifying
suffrage In Vermont or Connec-
tlcuL but the Republican Cover
nors in these States refuse to al
low the Legislatures 70 meet to
consider suffrage.
The Republican Party, since Il
has the power. must bear the re-
Bponslbility for the fate OF the
amendment.
Until the Republican Party
ceases blocking the enfranchlse-
ment of women we shall oppose
the Republican Party In every
way In our power.
Throughout our ratification
campaign we have found II sus-
piciously difficult to gain the full
cooperation of the Republican
officials In National and State
offices. Many Republican States
have ratified the amendment, but
they have done so after most DIFF
ficult campaigns on tho part OF
the Woman's Party. and often In
spite Of dnatory and obstructive
tactics or the part OF Republican
officials.
II has been openly whispered
in political circles that the plan
OF the Republican Party was TO
allow ratification TO proceed until
almost completed, and then allow
It to fail for lack OF one or two
States. New Mexico, New Jer-
sey and West Virginia were ex-
pected. 1t has been stated, TO be
the stumbling blocks in the rat
iflcation campaign. BY superhu-
man efforts suffrage forces won
these States. They failed in Del
aware. and they failed there be-
cause the Republican Party did
not want them to win.
We have come to Chicago, not
TO secure more resolutions; wo
have had enough OF resolutions
that are not backed by deeds.
we have come TO protest against
delay and 70 demand effective
action from the Republican Party
on suffrage.
II the Republican Party wishes
women to vote In the 1920 cleo
tions It will complete the ratifi-
cation OF the suffrage amend
ment by action in Vermont or
Connecticut. II the Republican
Party fails to do 90. can there
be any course for self-respecting
women but to oppose that party7
