CHANCE FOR SUFFRAGE SLIM Washington, May 1.?The last remaining chance of women voting in the national elections next November is hanging by a thread thinner than gossamar. In the opinion of the National Women's Party leaders here today there remains just a shred of | l hope that the suffrage amendment to the constitution will be ratified in time to give women a voice In nam ing the next President of the United States. So it is that while suffrage leaders ae publicly hoping for the best, they privately admit there is considerable bitterness against both Democrats and Republicans because of the delayed ratification. Charges may soon be leveled against both parties for booking national voices for women. Both are now under suspicion because of a growing belief among women that neither is over anxious to have a feminine voice in this election, which it is impossible to reckon with before hand. Such a vote might conceivably toss upon the scrap heap the expert calculations of the professional polticians, and for this reason many feminists believe neither Republicans nor Denioci'ats are .especially anxious to hasten ratification. Miss Alice Paul of New Jersey,} chairman, with other members of the J National Executive Committee of the! women's party, however, refuses toj give in and are now engaged in lead-j ing a forlorn hope charge against the j amendments enemies. Five States continue to be regarded as possibilities, and every atom of the party's strength is being brought to bear in an attempt to ratify. Tw ostates are really needed to make suffrage sure, for while one will make up the thirty-six States j ratifying, Ohio may drop out of line of ratifying States on a legal technicality. The five States offering more or less ground for optimism are Delaware, Louisiana, North Carolina Connecticut nad Vermont. Dele ware is j described as doubtful, with the rest j more so. Feminists admit that Vermont and Connecticuut might as well be counted out, so slim is the chance of action in time to be of service this year. ' Engraved Cards and Invitations?
