l3. ending a long and warmly contested
fight al d swinging this State into the s,lf-
frage column. The House Of Delegates
ratified the amendment week ago by a
vote of az to 40.
Ratification was brought about by the
ltuseating of Senator A. II. Montgomery
of Boone County on the ground that he
is now a resident of Illinois, and the
arrival of Senator Jesse A. Bloch of Wheel
ing from his Winter home in Pasadena,
Cal. after flying trip across country.

resulted in a tie of Ia to ii. The move
nent to unseat Senator Montgomery was
begun Tuesday Afternoon, when he frst
took his scat for the extra session. He
was an avowed anti-suifrage Senator,
and it WAS charged by the suffragists
that he was prevailed on the claim lis
seat after he had already submitted mis-
resignation to the Governor. in order TO
offset the vote on Senator Blocn, whose
arrival tod5v was expected.
Charges made in Washington yester-
day by members of the National Woman's
Party that ''vute buving is a matter of
common report these days in the West

tested.

tie apparently swung in favor of one
side or the other. The halls and corri-
dors were thronged with spectators, in
cluding hundreds of women, many of
whom wore yellow flowers as well as
men. Each Senator had brought 10 his
desk as many chairs as could be crowd

NURSING PROFESSION

Demand is Increasing for Those
Who Have Had Training and
Arc Efficient.

To qualified women the nursing pro.
fession offers almost unlimited oppbrtuni.
tics for pubic and personal service The

emphasized by the fact that practically
all the hospitals in tho country are calling

and are offering Inducements 10 those
who are willing TO take up the course md

All the hospitals in Wilmington arc In

one that will have not inconspicuous

SUFFRAGE ALREADY WON
SAYS JOYOUS MRS. GAIT
New York March 10

New ork, March III.
Suffrage is won. The words are
simple. but they thrill as few words
do or can"
That was the enthusiastic conclu-
sion of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
president Of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association, on re-
ceipt OF news that West Virginia
had ratified the federal suffrage
amendment.
People who have followed the
course of equal suffrage from the
outside with indifference or small
understanding of what has been at
stake" said Mrs. Gait, will have
no comprehension of the real mes
sage the West Virginia victory car
ries to women. To us il means that
the nation is won, that the seventy
year struggle is over, that the women
of America are cnfranchised women.
''And now, whatever comes out
of granting the suffrage to women,
it is safe to predict it never will be
responsible for any offering to the
general welfare except those things
that have been considered well and
indorsed intelligenily."
