This State Will Ratify.

tary of the Woman's Party, has returned
to Wilmington from the national head
quarters Of the party in Washington,
where che spent the weekend in confer
ence with suffrage leaders concerning the

can leaders in Washington hat Della
ware shall ratify Immediately after the
Legislature rcconvenes on May D, that
the credit for the enfranchisement OF
women may go to the Republican party.
before the Democratic legislature OF
Louisiana, which convenes on MAY 10,
has the opportunity TO ratify and thus
at the hast moment claim the glory for
the Democratic party.
while the suffrage amendment was
submitted by Republican congress,
SAYS Miss Vernon. "the Democrats de-
clare, they deserve credit for supplying
the measure and they now hope they can
gain additional glory by giving the last
State required for ratification while n
Republican State refused help at a
critical emoment The action in bela-
ware, so leaders in both parties evidently
believe, will have an important bearing on
the November elections. While political
parties are concerned about the credit to
be gained, naturally the only thought Of
the women who have been working so
long for suffrage is that the thirty-sixth
state shall be obtained ns quickly as pos
sble. We therefore hope for victory in
Delaware ms soon as the Legislature meets
