I Tew contests were expected in the
metit Is still high. It is on the surface,
however, and I think that down deep
in the heart of each one is tho convic
tion that ratification must galu new
adherents, if it ia to prevnil, before u
vote is called tomorrow In the llouse.
It was the tamest belief of such
leaders as Mrs. Florence Uayard Miles,
and Mrs. Henry Rldgely, Mrs. Iaw
rence Lewis, of Pennsylvania, and par
ticularly Miss Alice Paul, that in tho
interim of the week -end adjournment
there would be a change ot sentiment
among certain of the members opposed
to ratification.
There is, It must be frankly con
fessed, no x-cry great change to report.
The air is filled with ontlmistlc claims,
but there is little that is concrete upon
which to base this feeling.
The "antls" are playing their game
to the limit, cstcrday they claimed
that they had made one convert each
In House and Senate. Roth of these
claims are denied by the suffragists.
In the other hand, it is positively known
that the ratlHcationists have gained one
ote. Another member of the House
has promised that if one vote Is lacking
he will cast It for suffrage.
Suffragists Play for Time
With the issue depending upon one
or two votes either way the equal suf
frage strategists are plating for time.
Miss Alipe Paul, the most practical and
most indefatigable of the suffrage lead
ers, sajs they bate made material prog
re.ss, and if given an additional week
can secure ratification. If they can
not accomplish the results in that time
they nre willing to abandon the fight
in Delaware.
In previous dispatches I have out
lined tho close connection thnt lies, in
the minds of the legislators, between
the school code and the fate of the
suffrage amendment, I'fforts have been
made during the last twenty-four hours
to frame n new and satisfactory joint
resolution for a commission composed
of tho speaker pro tern of tho Senate,
the speaker of the' House and three
members of each body, with Pierre du
Pont as chairman of tho commission,
to rcvlso the school code.
Opponents pf the present school law
are given the majority of this com
mission under present plans. Oddly
enough, the principal opposition Is to
the appointment of Mr. rduPont ns
chairman of tho board. The estab
lishment of n better feeling nmong tho
members on this subject is regarded ns
a step toward n better understanding
of the amendment. So far as tho votes
on tho amendment are concerned, noth
ing can be definitely counted on until
tho vote Is cast. For the sake of mem
bers who may quietly chango their
viows, their names will bo kent secret
until the Inst moment. Fotfthls rea
son nny final estlmnte goes out with
the handlcnp of uncertainty.
Kcd Roses In Majority
Today and yestcrdny there is no ques
tion that the number of those wearing
the red rose of nntl-suflrngc outnum
bered those who wore the jellow badge
of equal suffrage. The "antls" seemed
to have concentrated all their strength
In tho struggle of the last few days.
While II. H. Thompson nnd H. P. Scott,
whose wives ore tho conspicuous lend
ers of the "antls," spent n great deal
of their time around the Stato House,
there have beeu no visible results of
their presence. They arc dignified,
wealthy nnd affable, but they arc lack
ing in the wnys of practical politics
as played In tbc Diamond state.

nil this turmoil is Republican State

Daniel ,T. La ton and his father, the

pilloried before the country ns the Re
publicans who hjocked ratification ot
tho suffrage amendment in the thlity
sixth stntc nnd thus prevented the
women of the Tnlted States from vot

It is nn unbelievable position. Stntc
Chairman Daniel ,1, Lnyton is publicly
quoted ns saying thnt all the talk nbout
his likllhood of "bowing to the will of
the people" is "bunk.". That ho him
self carries around In his pocket,
"enough. votes to put suffrage over if
1 wanted it to win."
Htnte Chairman Layton, ns I pointed
out in previous dispatches. Is openly nnd
defiantly In n combination vylth the
Democratic floor lcadcr.nnd whip of tho
House, Representative John b. Mc
Nabb, to defeat tho amendment. Iny

Lnyton Is n cunning nnd exceedingly
clever politician who is aware from the
repeated appeals that have been made
to him bv the Republican national com

be held responsible for the defeat of

"Where Only tho Best Is Good Enough''
Notwithstanding that his father,
Caleb It, Layton, the only Republican
congressman from Delaware, publicly
firofesses to be for tho amendment, there,
s a settled belief that his professions
aro camouflage. It is either that, or the
man is .absolutely without Influence. In
his own county.
Out of the fifteen members of the

Some Figure Facts for Business Men
That Office Workers Will Like
Mr rc than ever the business man want3
acruracy, speed, and economy in figure
work. The figure-worker wants equipment,
that with less fatigue will enable her to
accomplish more, and earn more.
In vastly increasing numbers, both arc
turning to the 10-key Dalton the
adding and calculating machine that is
2S to 80 pr cent faster, and immcn&rly
easier to operate.
Anyone, in any business, can usr the
Dalton no instruction and no practice
in tequired to operate its 10 simple keys.
Operators, using the touch method on
the Dalton, keep their "eyes on the work,
fingers on the kevs." Constant turning
from work to machine is eliminated, eyp
Ftrain and mental fatigue are diminished ;
tion numbers are automatically ar
ranged by the machine in their correct
order.
Open-minded business men, and am
bitious employees also prefer the Dalton
for its versatility it is two machines in
one; a calculating, as well as an adding
machine. It adds, subtracts, multiplies,
and divides, makes out statements, takes
trial balances, verifies invoices, computes
interest, figures fraction; gives men the
figure details of their business quick -
quicker, in truth, than any other human
or mechanical agency.

The ONLYeero-ElGHT
THE "world has produced great masters geniuses
all but in die minds of men there will remain
always but one Michael Angelo. And though there
may be countless eight cylinder cars all worthy con
tributions to the science of automotive engineering
and designing there is only one cAero -Eight..
An Exclusive Creation
It is distinctive, original, exclusive.
There u something indefinable about
it that vests it with an inherent
quality of goodness, worth and ability
which is peculiarly its own which
eludes imitation.
The Ck cifTO-ElGHT has an air of
unconcerned power a complacency
that takes for granted its mastery
over every emergency and inspires
confidence in its ability to reduce the
extreme to the commonplace
Its beauty of lines, its wealth of
energy, its speed when desired, its
comfort always, its unparalleled econ
omy, its luxurious completeness form
a combination of virtues rarely en
countered in such perfect balance
and harmony.
The ability of the (jje to transcend
all present accomplishments by in
stilling a note of niturity in all that
it achieves gives the cfrrrElGHT a
character humanly individual.
