HANGING
ON ACTION OF Two
STATE LEGISLATURES

JACKSON, Miss, March 31.-With
Governor Russell appearing personal
ly before the house to urge that body
to concur in the action of the senate
yesterday in voting to ratify the fed,
eral constitutional suffrage amendment
supporters of that measure today were
optimistic and predictions were freely
made that Mississippi would be the
36th state to act favorably on the
amendment.
The senate vote, % to %, showed a
shift of 10 members from opponents
to supporters since the vote taken in
February and suffrage leaders felt con-
fident that reflection of this change
of sentiment would be found in the
house, which last month also voted
against ratification.
Antis Feel Otherwise.
Anti-suffrage leaders, however, While
admitting that there probably might
be a slight change in the number of
members who would vote for the
amendment said they were confident
the overwhelming majority by which
the resolution was defeated last
month could not be overcome even if
there was agreement to again take up
the question for a vote. The vote last
month was 1O6 to 25 against adoption.
Last night and this morning, hurry
calls were sent to friends of the
cause" who had left the capital in
the belief that the session of the legis-
lature was about to adjourn and it was
believed an early vote would be taken.
DOVER, Del, March 31-A vote on
the resolution for ratification of the
proposed suffrage amendment was ex-
pected to taken in the lower house of
the Delaware legislature today. The
resolution was reported out ION its
merits" by the house committee on re-
vised statutes yesterday. The senate
will take no action until the lower
branch has disposed of the measure.
Increased activity in the camps of
both the suffragists an d those oppos-
ed to ratification was noticed today.
Suffrage workers made urgent appeals
for favorable action on the resolution,
pleading with the lawmakers not to
permit the Mississippi legislature, the
upper house of which ratified the
amendment yesterday, TO rob Della
ware of the honor of giving the final
vote necessary to make the amend
ment a federal law
