The back bone of suffrage opposition in Dela ware is believed by leaders of the National Woman's party . be brok in. The announcement by Silas J. Wtrrington of Harborson. Sussex county, who has heretofore opposed I he amendment that he would fol low the will of his party and vote for ratification is believed to be the be ginning of a rush of votes to the suffrage side. , 'Contrary to the claim of the anti suffragists that the amendment could not be reconsidered after the third legislative day following action upon it, the amendment may be reintro duced at any time in the senate and sent from that body to the lower house. Under a ruling made at the time of the civil war amendments an amendment to the federal constitu tion is always pending before a leg islature until ratified. Delaware itself ratified the civil war amendments nearly 50 years after ;hey had be come laws. - Says I. W. W. Considered Arizona Ex-Governor "Pretty Good Wobbly" 'Tombstone, Ariz.. ApriJ 8.
