Miss Charlotte Rowe, field secretary
and lobbyist for the National Association
Opposed TO Woman Suffrage, who led the
fight in West Virginia, is expected to
arrive in this city some time today and
viii open temporary headquarters at the
Hotel du Pont. Miss Rowe is said to be
one Of the most tactful workers that the
anti's have lined up with them.
From information learned today, it is
hardly likely that the women opposed to
suffrage in Delaware will make any
spectacular showing prior to or after the
opening of the Legislature. They believe
that il the women of the State cannot have
the right TO settle this question, that it
should bc up TO the voters for their de-
cesion. 1t is likely they will confinc their
efforts TO missionary work among the
legislators personally and. it was stated
