SUFFRAGE VICTORY
|. |NDELAWARE SEEN
Even "Antis" Believe State Will
Ratify Amendment as
seth in Nation
INVASION IS PRE- DlCTED D
BIZ a st1B Correspondent

Dover. Del. March 10.-Suffrag'
workers in Delaware are confident tha
this state will be the thirty. sixth to rat
ify the national amendment.
Even assemblymen opposed to suf
frage believe that Delaware will fall IL
line.
Senator Thomas F. Gormley, rad
ical anti. suffragist, says that "nothint
short of a miracle will prevent ratif
cation in Delaware.
But rumors to the contrary are still
circulating. There is one that the anti
suffragists contemplate sending to the
Delaware Assembly, In special session
this month. the same delegation that
was so effective in helping to defeat the
amendment in Maryland.
Delaware assemblymen, meeting in =
formally, are said to have discussed
whether they would admit an outside
delegation TO appear before them. To
refuse would be contrary to precedent.
for the Delaware Assembly has always
been easy to access.
Mrs. Henry Ridgely, Of Dover. pres
ident of the Delaware Equal Franchise
Association, is confident of victory.
Delaware will be the thirty sixth
state" said Mrs. Ridgely, and her opin-
ion is seconded by Miss Leah Burton
chairman of the legislative committee,
who adds;
"Wc have done great deal of work.
but we are not finished. There is still
much work TO be done, and we can never
be certain until the vote is actually
taken"
Yesterday the Delaware Equal Fran
chise Association met in executive ses-
sion at Dover. Thirty district chairmen
nm dothcr officials of the association
from all over the state discussed the
final ratification plans and preparations
for citizenship work.
Citizenship classes will probably start
in April. Whether the state ratifies
the amendment or not. there is little
1oubt that thirty six states will be OBJ
tained, and the women of Delaware are
preparing themselves for work.
The keynote Of ratification" has
been changed to ''responsibility" and
hat the women may not be unduly in
luenced by any one party. the associa-
ion has secured lecturers in the citizen
,hip school, anti suffragists. pro -suf-
ragists. Democrats and Republicans.
The anti suffragists are said to be
'ounting on the general opposition Of
he assemblymen to the special session,
which will have several serious prob
ems TO discuss, including the school
ode.
But the governor himself has an
lounccd his approval of suffrage and
las taken some of the ache out of the
pecial session by proposing money be
ivertcd from the states general fund
o school expenses to relieve the tax
N real estate.

SEE VICTORY TODAY
Senator Bloch Completes Cross
Continent Trip in Time to
Vote for Ratification
PLAN OF ANTS IS BLOCKED

Charleston, W. Va. March 10
! state Senator Jesse A. Bloch, of Wheel
ing, completed his 1000 mile hurried tril
| across the continent from California u
Charleston early this morning in order
to vote on the federal suffrage amend
ment in the Senate Of the West Virgins
Legislature.
Senate forces favoring ratification an
ticipated immediate action upon the
amendment when II convened TINS atter
noon and with Senator Bloch s vote
hoped TO break the deadlock when mas
existed between pro and ant suffrage
forces since the special session OF the
Legislature was called.
Anti -suffragists. according TO the
leaders declarations last night. were
still fighting to defeat ratification and
there was some talk among them OF
contesting the seat of Senator Raymond
Dodson. who is listed on the side OF the
smffragists. Opponents of ratification
claim that Senator Dodson. while repre- :
senting Spencer Roam county, has MS
residence and business in Charleston:
His supporters assert that his othclai
residence is at Soenccr.
The first bitter feeling growing out
the fight in the West Virginia Legs
lature for ratification Of the equal sur
fragc amendment cropped out in the
Senate yesterday. and II is believed the
courts will have to decide whether or
not the ratification of the amendment is
legal.
The bitterness grew out Of efforts
of opponents Of the amendment TO
scat Senator A. II. Montgomery. Jr,
who is alleged TO have written letter
to Governor John J. Cornwcll on June
IL. 1919. resigning from the Senate
and moving his residence to Illinois.
However. that letter was not presented
to the Senate by the governor when the
special session convened, and the higher
body had no official cognizance OF its
