ALLEGE EMPLOYMENT OF

The right of Delawareans to decide the
question of suffrage for themselves without
The dictation of political party leaders,
or any one else was the thought that
seemed to run uppermost IN the minds
If the speakers who addressed an overflow
audience that assembled in the duBarry
room at the Hotel du Pont last night, to
hear the views of those opposed to the
ratification of the Anthony amendment
bv the Delaware Legislature.
Although IL rained and the weather
conditions were decidedly dsagreeablc,
represent atives of both the Republican
and Democratic parties men and women,
professional and society men, and ladies',
and those who toll every day Tor their
subsistence were in the audience that
twenty minutes before the meeting began,
had filled the duBarry room and 1t Is
stated that those who came but tailed to
gain admittance was greatly IN excess OF
those who got into the room. Among the
late corners were many women who stood
throughout the two hours OF speaking,
but they didn't seem to mind 1t the least
bit, applauding when some particular
telling point was made and enjoying the
meeting thoroughly despite the discomfort
of having TO stand.

particular fling at their opponents. One
protested the right of the legislature 10
adopt the amendment, holding that the
people had the right TO make that choice,
and the people alone.
Another presented the plea that the
ADDITION by Delaware would work hard
ship upon Maryland and other States in
the Union.
Another contended that the women OF
Delaware did not want 10 vote and that
il was an imposition to thrust the ballot
llpon them without their consent. because
a minority through the steam roller pres
sure of politicians drove the amendment
home using the lcgislture as a tool.
The legislature was warned. that If 1t
adopted the amendment, that legal action
might follow, as the antis were ready for
such a contingency.

WANT FAIR PRICE
FOOD COMMISSION
FROM LEGISLATURE
Recommended by Mayors Com
mittee in Report Adopted
Last Night.
COMPARISON MADE
WITH OTHER PLACES

That a comparison OF food prices pre-
yailing In Wilmington with those IN Wash
ingtou. Baltimore, Philadelphia and Ches-
ter shows that the people of tins city are
forced to pay from . to 10 per cent more
for the necessaries of life than do the
people In the cities named, was a feature
of a statement made to the Mayor Food
Prohteering Committee by James Stein,
secretary OF the Manufacturers AssOcla-
tion, at it's meeting last night.
Mr.. Stem. who Is also a member OF the
mavor's committee, said the Manufacture
ers' Association had made an independent
investigation In regard TO food prices IN
the cities names, as compared with prices
here, and had the data on file In their
offices TO show that the people OF tins
city were, somehow, being disseminated
against.
The mayor s committee, IN its report
adopted last night, and which IS given
below, recommends that the Legislature
authorize a fair price commission to work
IN cooperation with the Attorney-General
OF the United States and other agencies in
an effort TO lower food prices here.
Food prices IN Wilmington are higher
than most anywhere else, the committee
charges IN its report, and particularly so
with reference TO meats
At the meeting last night Harry W
Frazer, OF Lawson d Co, Market street
grocers, denied that the people Of this city
were being Disseminated against In the
matter of foodstuffs such as his store han
dies, and was willing TO show his books
as to cost and selling price, He deprecat-
ed the reports continually made as to
higher prices here.
The report of the committee, after one
paragraph had been eliminated, was
adopted unanimously. 1t IS as follows:
COMMITTEES S REPORT.
The report follows:
Hon. W @. Taylor,

The High Cost Of Living Committee
appointed by you last December has en-
deavored to work along the lines expected,
that is to see if the reputation that has
been sprea broadcast throughout the
country that Wilmington people are
being charged more for food supplies
than the people of any other city was
true, and begs TO make the following
