The Mnrlmv resolution ratifying; the
proposed woman suffrnpc amendment,
havlns passed the Senate. Is reach for
consideration bv the House nnd will
probablv be brought before tlint bodv
for final action tonight. A move to
advance it i few dm aco was blocked,
but that was only temporary and when
it oomos up for final disposition there
will bo a sreat display of political
pyrotechnics from both nnti and pro
members. Tt will be a mot notable
battle because ratification will be lost
or won bv n very narrow nrnsiti.
The Rhost of one 1?arlecorn who
apparently "n't be laid, will mt at
the. public hearing of the joint uitlicltrv
committees of the bemte nud House late
this afternoon in the Asenihlv etaim
her. when all liquor bills pending be
fore the two branches of the T-esMature
will be threshed out
Chief of these measures is the liar
rett bill lcKalinns: boveraces of 1 per
cent alcohol and the measure bv Sen
ator Haines, of Camden, proposing a
referendum vote on r per cent nlcol.o ,c
drinks The nuestion of the ratih a
tlon of the federal prohibition nmend
ment. a i evolution for which has beer
introduced bv Suator Itunyon, and
Runyou enforcement bill, patterned
after the Volstead act, will also be in
eluded in the matters before the com
nnttees.

the los of the governor last fill the
Republicans arc cautious and there is 11
disposition among the rank and ill" of
their voters to haudle the liquor question
