HURON, S. D., Nov. 8.-Woman
suffrage is the leading state issue
to be settled at the polls today. In &C.
cordance with bill passed by the
legislature last year the question is to
be decided whether or not the word
''male" in the constitutional clause re-
lating to elections and the right of
suffrage" shall be stricken
out. The campaign has been one of
the liveliest ever seen in the north
west. Other states have sent speakers
and workers to reinforce the women
of South Dakota. The National Wo
mans Suffrage association has taken q
prominent past in the fight aud has
had its best speakers stumping the
80 a.

been idle and Mrs. Crannall,
the well-known "remous trant" leader
of New York, has canvassed the state
from one end to the other in an en-
deavor to convince the men and wo-
want to meddle in politics. The indi-
cations are that the suffrage movement
has good chance to win out.

ity OF Kansas voters are today casting

first residents of the United States to |
vote for state officers and congressman |
while many hundreds of miles distant |
from their native shores.
The members of the first battalion of |

midway between Honolulu and Manila,

provided with official ballots and today
hey will engage in an election which

'oads in their home.counties.
All OF the men live in the western

in which event the situation
'ould be very complicated one.
