SUFFRAG|STS HURL
TELEGRAMS At DOVER
Great Interest Felt at Washing
ton in Fight Before Legisla
ture at Dover.
Special Dispatch From Every Evening
Washington Correspondent

Special Dispatch From Every Evening s
Washington Correspondent
Washington, March 22.--Equal suf-
fragists are painfully" anxious about the
outcome Of the effort to induce the Della
ware Legislature TO ratify the Equal Suf-
frage Amendment To the Federal Con-
stitution. They feel certain that the State
of Washington will record a vote favorable
to their cause, but they are by no means
sure of Delaware.
For the past As hours the wires have
been hot between here and Dover, and
when the State legislators assemble at the
Capital of Delaware they will be handed
many telegrams from United States Sena-
tors and Others, urging them to vote for
the amendment. They will also receive
messages urging them 10 decline to ratify.
Many OF the opponents of ratification
are favorably inclined to Woman Suf-
frage They say, however, the States are
the judges Of how, and by whom, the
elective franchise shall be exercised and
no collection of Commonwealth should
coerce the unwilling States into extending
voting privileges TO women. II the States
desire to give women the right TO vote,
that is their business, but the Federal
government has no right to interfere, the
opponents of the suffrage amendment
argue.
This was the position taken by Senator
Wocott when he voted against the sub
mission of the amendment. The Senator
is not, according to his friends here, OPP
posed 10 granting women the right TO vote,
but he is opposed to compelling an un-
willing State to- surrender its inherent
right TO make its OVID election laws.

the Delaware Legislature.
Secretary Meredith expressed 'the
earnest hope that the Democratic Party
in Delaware will do everything possible
to see that the suffrage amendment IS
ratified. and that the battle for ratl-
fication is nearing it's end and favorable
expression by the Delaware Legislature
will Inch the victory
Secretary Houston urged favorable
action by the Democrats as matter OF
party duty and good faith, citing the
action of the Democratic National Com
mittee.
On behalf of labor, Frank Morrison,
National Secretary of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, sent the following
telegram TO Mr.. Layton and to the Gov
ernor.
Labor has always stood for woman
suffrage and the Federal Suffrage amend
ment and has repeatedly gone on record
as officially indorsing same. Urge ycu
to do everything possible to secure rati-
fication by Delaware Legislature.
