TO be as, obdurate as Governor Clement
OF Vermont in resisting appeals of the
women of the nation for the right to vote
this year. In this connection the Boston
Transcript says;
with the rejection of the suffrage
amendment by the West Virginia Senate
by a vote Of IS to IL after the House had
ratified by majority OF four and the re-
fusal of the governor Of Vermont to call
a special session OF the Legislature Of that
State, it becomes practically certain that
the nineteenth amendment will not b.
ratified in time for the enfranchisement
by federal enactment of women in the
States which have not already bestowed
the suffrage upon them.

and seven have definitely rejected Those

whereas no State can recall it's ratifica-
ton after the amendment is proclaimed,
and there is some doubt whether an az
frmative vote can be rescinded at all.
1.-THE thirty-fourth State TO ratify will
be Washington. A special session Of the
Legislature of that state has been called
for March q, and there is no doubt of
ratification there. Two states will then
be necessary, and they will be found by
next winter among the seven remaining
States which have not yet voted on the
question; namely, Florida. Tennessee.

VERMONT PARTLY RESPONSIBLE

Vermont Is recognized as a typical re-
publican State, having been alone with
Utah in sticking to the colors in 1872
when all the rest Of the States went either
for Woodrow Wilson Theodore Roose-
welt on the Progressive party's ticket
This year Vermont is charged with being
one Of the four republican States that
have refused to ratify the amendment
to the federal constitution providing for
political justice for women. Republicans
In the country as a whole are therefore
to be held responsible for this failure.
President Wilson on the other hand has
been wiring democratic States to help Sc
cure ratification of the woman suffrage
amendment Consequently host of wom-
en- in States where they can vote will vote
the democratic ticket this year to rebuke
the Republican party for its sins of omis-
sion That is an epitome of the situation.
Now let us glance at some of the details
despatch from Washington says that
the National Woman's party has issued
statement declaring the Republican
party must stand prepared to accept the
responsibility in the event that nation
wide suffrage was withheld
IF the West Virginia Legislature fails
TO ratify the suffrage amendment the
Republican party will be responsible,
since the majority Of that Legislature is re-
publican" the statement said "If West
Virginia defeats ratification three more
States must be secured. Washington has
called a special session for March o.
which will give the thrty-fourth State.
The last two must be secured from States
In which both governors and Legislatures
are strongly republican. Delaware. YER
mont and Connecticut.
$50 far the governors Of these three
republican States have refused to call
special sessions If they continue to re-
fuse. ratification may be delayed until
too late for women to vote in the fail cleo
tions. If women are denied the right TO
vote for the next president and Congress
the Republican party must bear the full
responsibility.
'"ThArty-three States have already rat.
flied the suffrage amendment. Thirty-six
are necessary for final victory"
Governor Townsend Of Delaware has
SO far refused to call a special session OF
the Legislature to act on the woman's suf-
frage amendment. He has told suffra-
gists that he is in favor Of votes for
women, but Is not sure of votes enough
in the Legislature to ratify the amend
ment and until he is sure will not cali
a special session The suffragists are still
circulating petitions asking for a special
session and have offered to raise money

"The forlorn hope of the suffragiets
lies in North Carolina and Tennessee.
where efforts arc still being made to
