DOVER, Del, April 2.-Despite the

Suffragist leaders were greatly en-
couraged by the announcement that
Alfred Dupont would support the res
olution and declared they would mako
every effort to have it reconsidered
in the house when the legislature 70.

days vote, and that If this fails the
senate's measure can be brought into
the house at an ytime for considera-
