SUFFRAG|STS PLAN
TO KEEP UP FIGHT
They Are Disappointed But Pro
pose to Garry On" During
the Present Campaign.

Special Correspondence OF Every Evening
Dover, June 3.-Announcement by the
Delaware Equal Suffrage Association
that IL intends maintaining its organiza-
ton in the State, and carry ON a fight
at the polls caused considerable specula-
ton today as to the methods the asso-
citation will employ. Leaders say that
while they do not intend to employ mill
tant tactics nevertheless, with their menu
bership of 1000 women, they feel con-
hdent they can successfully combat the
return of men to the Legislature in 1921
who would be against them.
The association has been planning its
next campaign for several weeks, or since
il was clearly seen that ratification was
extremely doubtful. Even though another
State will ratify and thus put the Federal
amendment into effect in Delaware, as
well as the remaining AZ States OF the
Union, the association leaders said they
would continue to insist that Delaware
ratify and thus get In line as suffrage
State OF ITS own accord.
Mrs Henry Ridgely, president OF the
Equal Suffrage Association. in state
ment made public shortly after the House
had voted against considering ratification,
said: "Of course failure to ratify is
fearful disappointment But 1t really
is only brief delay. The women will win
inevitably and soon. In common with
other reforms ours has had much to over
come. but justice always triumphs in the
end"
Miss Leah Burton. executive secretary
of the association, said: 1T is TOO bad
Delaware is not to have the honor of COM
pleting ratification. but we have fought
q good clean fight and by no means arc we
dlsplrited. We are going to carry on I
In conclusion the suffrage leaders said
they wanted the State and country TO
know that neither suffrage issue por the
Delaware Equal Suffrage Association was
dead but that the issue was merely
checked for the time being.
