WIN THE FIRST BOUT
Claim Ratification Will be Badly
Beaten; Suffragists Say They
Have Surprise.

Baton Rouge. La. May 11.-Oppo-
ents of Federal Suffrage scored first blood
here yesterday when they forced those
in favor of ratification to wait until next
Monday, MAY l., before introducing a

Ala, Mrs. Eileen Clcevy, of Washington
and Miss Charlotte Rowe, along with
the wife of Governor Ruffin G. Pleasant,
of this State, were happy at the turn
that things had taken and predicted the
overwhelming defeat of the ratification
measure.
National ratification is so dead it
will take all the oxygen in Louisiana to
revive it, announced Miss Jean Gordon,
one of the opponents of Federal Suffrage.
and worker for State suffrage tonight.
However. the ratiicationists are not
giving up by any means and they are
silently marshaling their forces and pre-
dict that they will spring surprise
that will make the antis sit up and take
notice.
All Baton Rouge is agog over the
suffrage question. 1t is the only topic
talked. As result of this great interest,
a rImor spread that the Louisiana ratifi-
cationists did not care what was done
here as Delaware would ratify any how

maliciously false. 1t is being circulated
in order to discredit our work
The ratifcationists were joined by 60
women from the oil fields Of North

ture approving of the ratification of
Federal suffrage.
