SUFFRAC|STS REPLY
TO ANTS ARGUMENT
Cite Enfranchisement of Negro in
Letter to Governor
Townsend.

The following letter has been sent by
Mrs. Henry Ridpely, chairman Of the
Delaware Equal Suffrage Association. to
Governor Townsend:
Dover. Delaware, Feb. %, 1920.
Hon. John G. Townsend,
The State House, Dover,
Aiy Dear Governor Townsend: At
the time the Fifteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States went
into effect, the Constitution Of Delaware
restricted suffrage 10 free white male"
adult citizens-see. Art. 1, section |.
This provision Of our State Constitution
remained unchanged. SO far rs any ac-
ton Of this State Was concerned, until
the present constitution Of 1897
II followed, therefore, that no oolorod
man bad the right to vote in Delaware
prior to 1897, except on the theory that
the Fifteenth Amendment of the Federal
Constitution operated as an automatic
amendment of the Delaware Constitution.
That it had such effect WAS never
questioned, and during all the years be-
tween the enactment of the Fifteenth
Amendment and the change IN the State
Constitution in 1897. colored male citi-
gems voted AT Delaware Elections ON n
par with the whites without challenge
this although u rnajo ity Of Delauareans
were then opposed to the enfranchisernent
of the Negro.
ask YOU To consider this fact because
some of our citizens seem to he iRDo rant
Of il.
SEQ by the newspapers that the oppo-
nents Of woman sufT age nc nfging you not
TO call special session of the Legislature
to iatify the Nineteenth Amendment,
giving az their reason the peculiar ~ gu
ments set forth in the resolution recently
presented 20 the Ma yland Legislature.
Those arguments a'c directly IN the
teeth Of the fact which have Just stated
in regard 20 tho effect Of the Fifteenth
Amendment.
The author Of the remarkable Maryland
resolution is obviously unaware Of the
existence of the Fifteenth Amendment
and its acknowledged effect on the State
Constitutions
The Anti-Sufraglsts seem TO think that
the arguments in the Maryland resolu-
ton are recent discoveries of pure rea-
son, whereas they are feeble limitations
of ancient historic dlscarCis-the Virginia
and Kentucky Resolutions of 1893, and
the qualification letter of John c. Cal
houn 10 the governor of South Carolina
August %, 1882.
The Civil War. or "a Mr.. Henry Wat
terson more appropriately calls it, the
War of Sections rolled the stone ON the
sepulcher of such dead arguments.
No Maryland and surely no Delaware
High School girl is guilty of such ignorance
of tn, facts Ct history as the suthor of the
Maryland res luton
Ii il were true that the ratification of
the Nineteenth Amendment by three
fourths OF the States Ct the Union would
make Of the cmmonwealth Ct Maryland
q topped, enfeebled multilated, dcstrric-
tible State" then Maryland has been "a
Topped, enfeebled, multilated, and de-
structible State since 1869 without being
aware Of its deplorable condition.
Very truly yours, Mabel l.. Ridgely.
