Wisconsin started the ball rolling for
suffrage. ratifyiug the proposed nine
teenth amendment on June 10, 1919.
Its example was followed the same
month by Michigan. Kansas, Ohio. New
York. Illinois, Pennsylvania and Massa =
chusetts, all normally Republican states.
Texas then injected a novelty. Her
ratifiCation and that of Arkansas mark
the only espousals OF suffrage by com
monwealths which eau regularly De
ascrbcd to the Democratic column.
In the whole procession Of thirty five
there are few states whose political
complexion is doubtful All the rest
are cmphatically Republican.
This il fine record. II clear think
ing were an iuvariable characteristic of
the American electorate, it would be
recognized that Republicansm has gen
prously served the cause OF suffrage.
But public impressions often owe eX-
tremely little to logic. SO much has
been won for woman CnfranChisemcnt
that any delay imposed in Delaware
will be acutcly disappointing.
Congressman Fess. of Ohio, has no
illusions on this theme. In a telegram
to Senator Ball, summoned last week 10
Dover TO aid in averting threatened dis
astnr, the chairman Of the national Re
publican congressional committee made
a strong appeal for political consistency.
II vas pointed out that twenty nine Of
the statps which adopted the amend
mcnt were Republican, and that in eight
Of them the approval was unanimous.
To spoil )r shadow this sum Of achieve
meut now would be a political blunder
of the first magnitude, even apart from
the intrinsic merits of suffrage,
That there will be the slightest Dem
ratio hesitancy in capitaliZing Repub-
lcan detection in Delaware is incon-
ccivable. Currency will promptly be
given to the fact that there are sub
stautial Republican majOrities in both
the Senate and the House in Dover. Ii
the women fail TO secure the right to
vote in the November lection, Della
ware aud the Republican party will be
made to shoulder an enormous burden
of blame. The whole question Of re-
spousibiity will be befOgged as earlier
obytruCtions in other states are mini
mi2pd. The public has keen instinct
of the dramatic. The Delaware crisis
is vivid and exciting. II will be decided
that suffrage was gained or deferred in
Dover. Fact and fancy will be blended
in this deduction.
Provincial political maneuvering, long
conducted with particular subt ETY. and
finesse in Delaware, has been a factor
in this paradoxial alignment Of parties
1t is well known that an increase of the
colored vote is not desired BY the Demo-
Gratis. On the other hand, the Repub-
leans are so intent on certain local

Because he has convictions which

wanted.
He was right. as the mess we are in
