Again the Suffrage Fight.

The contest for ratification OF the Equa
Suffrage Amendment TO the Constitution
of the United States was renewed at
Dover. yesterday afternoon. and the
State Senate adopted resolution Of ratifl-
cation by a vote OF II 20 6. One Demo
cratic Senator-Price Of Kent county
was among the alternatives, aud two
Republican Senators Brown and Palmer
of Sussex voted in opposition
The contest now goes 70 the House,

ago. Friends of the cause seem to believe

There is significance, however, in the
Republican opposition to ratification

day. 1t is from Sussex county. where
public sentiment is strong against votes
for women. II will be interesting TO note
whether public sentiment or "one-rnan

is to send the culprit to prison and keep
him there until he has worked out his re-

his labor and divide his earnings between
those who were dependent upon him and
