ON TO CHICAGO.

Washington, June 2.—The national woman’s party tonight sent an appeal to 5,000 suffragists in the middle west, urging them to take part in a demonstration of protest in Chicago Tuesday, the opening day of the republican national convention, against the Delaware’s legislature’s failure to ratify the suffrage amendment. Those unable to go to Chicago were asked -to contribute toward paying the expense of staging the demonstration. Miss Alice Paul, national chairman of the woman’s party, who signed the appeal, announced that the demonstration probably would be in the form of a line of women in front of the convention hall “with banners of protest.” The party announced it would center on legislators in Vermont and Connecticut, in an effort to get one of them to ratify the suffrage amendment before »the November election. Efforts will be made, it was declared, to get the governors of these two states to call special legislative sessions.
