Vermont and Suffrage.

Senator Harding has in large meas
ure disarmed his critics Of the mill
tant suffragist group by his advice
given to Gov. Clement of Vermont to
to pass on the nineteenth amendment.
The other day he told a delegation of
upon the state executive. An oppor
tunity, however, came to him in the
course of conference held here with
the governor, who came to Washing
ton for the purpose and who asked his
judgment on the subject. Thus the
republican candidate has "made good"
for suffrage, in that he has urged that
Vermont be made the thirty-sixth
state to ratify and thereby to make
the amendment the law Of the land.
1t now remains for the Governor of
Vermont to do his part. If he calls
the legislature in session some time
this month, and if the amendment is
ratified, Tennessee will be deprived of
the final honors and the democracy
will be denied the right to claim that,
despite the fact that seven of the
eight negative votes have been cast by
democratic states, it has given the
women national enfranchisement. It
is at present a very pretty competi
