C. News Service) Raleigh, April 2. Whether tho North Carolina Legislature is to do cide the fate of the Susan B. An thony suffrage amendment at tho special session in July was the sub ject of considerable conversation here last night and this morning, follow ing the action of the lower house of the Delaware general - assembly Thursday in defeating the meusure by an overwhelming majority. Governor Bickett made it plain yesterday that he would not move up the special session for the purpose of lending a helping hand to the women. Consequently if the. fight should hinge upon North Carolina's action, suffragists will not be able to vote in the June primaries. This fact is a 'hard blow to fho North Carolina women who were 'al ready laying plans to cast their first ballot thin year in the primaries. They are, of course, farf. from down hearted and are now looking with hopeful eyes to Louisiana, where the 1 measuro will be fought out on the floor of the legislature, in the opinion' of suffrage leaders here, when tho legislators meet in May. In the opinion of Chief Justice Walter IClark Louisiana offers tho best chance for ratification. He does not believe that either, Vermont or Connecticut will ratify because in. both states the governors are strong ly opposed to suffrage and it is go irlg to be well night an impossibility session of the General Assemblies "Both of these states are strong tot suffrage," says Judge Clark, "but both governors are as strongly op posed, and they have already declined , to call a special session." Either or both states can call a special session without the consent of the governors and over their protests, according to a number of priminent lawyers in North Carolina, but it is ' an altogether unusual procedure and it is not likely that the suffrage ' forces will resort to such action. They would rather win out "in regular' manner." . .. . Should North Carolina become the battle-ground in July there will be a red-hot fight waged in Raleigh which, is going to be worth "going miles to see," in the words of a strong pro ponent of suffrage. Even if 36 states, ratify the amendment before the special session meets here in July the probalities are that strong pressure -will be brought to bear since the suf fragists are, desirous of having 37 states to. make the ratification of the amendment certain in case Ohio is; ruled out by the. Supreme Court of that state. Delaware's Vote of 2J to 5 is a bit-' ter dose for the suffragists here. They are unable' to explain the pitia bly poor showing that the echampions of their cause made in. rolling up only live votes. While they are not hard losers they had hoped that if the measure was defeated in dclaware it -would not be by any big majority and they could have capitalized the vote for the psychological effect it would have had in North Carolina and other states where th ef ight is expect ed to go. - German Government And Workmen Have Agreed (By Associated Press) v Dusseldorf, April 2.
