ANT|-SUFFRAG|STS
HOLD TO STATE RIGHTS
Claim Anthony Amendment, il
Ratified Here, Would Violate
State Constitution.

Leaders OF the Anti-Suffrage movement
IN Delaware. il was stated today, see in
the action Of tho Mary land legislature,
IN refusing to ratify the Anthony Amend
mctt, and the points brought out in the
discussion of the amendment before the
governing body at Annapolis, pertinent
reasons, in their opinion, Governor Town
send should not call special session Of
the Delaware Legislature in order to con-
slider the amendment. Dclawarc's con-
stitution limits the rights of suffrage TO
men and consequently the anti's assert
1t would be in violation of the State con-
stitution, even If majority Of the Legs
lators should be favorable to the Federal
amendment
Mrs Henry r. Scott, vice-prcsidcnt
of the Delaware Anti-SufIragc Association
who IN absence Of Mrs. Henry b. Thomp-
son, the president, is ut the head Of the,
women working against granting suffrage
TO women, today pointed to paragraph two
of section five of the Delaware copstitu-
tioD,. as reason why an extra session
should be called.
we believe" said Mrs. Scott, that
the action taken in Maryland has bear
larity of the State constitutions. Our
Every male citizen of this State of the
age of twcnty-one wears who shall have
been a resident thereof one year next
preceding an election, and for the last
three months a resident of the county,
and for the last thirty days resident of
the hundred or election district in which
he may offer to vote and IN which be shall
have been duly registered rs hereinafter
provided for, shall be entitled to vote, "
etc. etc.
II am not an attorney" continued
Mrs. Scott. neither has my mind been
trained along legal lines, so ] take recourse
IN the opinion OF "A man who has studied
the question of suffrage intelhgently and
who IN commenting on the action OF
Maryland legislators in refusing to adopt
the Anthony amendment says,
The amendment, II adopted and held
valid. would In effect amend the Maryland
and establish woman suffrage

The government Of the United States
- a government of enumerated powers.
How can a State deprived Of its cardinal
power and function, be regarded as other
than Topper, mutilated. enfeebled. de-
state? That is the argument
of the Maryland resolution
We are perfectly willing, said Mrs.
Scott, Ito submit the amendment 10
vote Of the people of the State first, and
abide by their decision That is the de-
cislon that has been reached in other
States where the amendment has not
been ratified and is one Of the fairest ways
TO settle the question.
But, with this question Of unconstitu-
tionality involved, we think Governor
Townsend should very seriously consider
the points involved and assure himself
beyond question Of doubt as to the validity
Of the amendment if Delawares legisla-
tors did adopt il, before calling a special
session.
