The resolution was defeated o to :.
Those opposed to suffrage ratification
declared this vote foreshadowcd the vote
on the ratification measure. They as
serted that it could be defeated by the

Political StrategistS En- Route
When the House opened this morning
there was large attendance ard this
will be greatly increased this afternoon
by the arrival of several leaders and
political stratcgists on both sides.
Among others scheduled 20 arrive is
Alfred !. du POnt, o Wilmington.
From an authoritative source it was
hinted that Mr.. du Pont would take a
hand in strengthening out tho situa
ton and might even go so far as T."
urge his followers to support the meas
ure.
General T. Coleman du Pout. brother
of Alfred l.. was here vest terday. but
his presence did not go toward aiding
the cause. it is said. Despite the re
ported visit of Alfred I. du Pont and
his rumored peace making purposes. the
anti suffragist members of the LegiS.
lature intend TO pursue the plan of battle
already mapped out. They will follow
the tactics begun yesterday. when Rep
resentative James +. Lloyd introduced
resolution urging ratification of the
suffrage amendment. He took this ac-
tion in order TO force n vote on the
question without unnecessary delay.
Many of the autis declared that the
failure of Representative Hart to call
up his resolution yesterday was n con
fession Of weakness on the part Of the
suffragist adhcrents.
Suifragists Plan Battle
4 delegation of Philadelphia suifra
gistS who came here Yesterday TO root
for the cause will return again today
to help things along.
There were several quiet conferences
here last night regarding plans for to-.
days battle. incidentally, speculation
as to the result has reached an un-
canny stage. Even expert political
prophets declare they are at loss even
TO guess what may happen.
Many of the anti leaders who were
up to a late hour last night asserted
that no matter what any other state
might do, it will have no effect on Della e
ware. They declare they are tired of
the interference of outsiders. and that
Delaware will be Delaware and suit it d.
