OHIO DEFEAT DOESN'T
DISCOURAGE SUFfRAGISTS
Local Workers Say Conditions
Are Different Here; Will
Increase Activities

Detroit suffragists are not at all
discouraged or downcast over the re-
lection of the woman suffrage amend
ment In Ohio, Tuesday. and say that
this defeat will only stir Michigan
women to greater activity In their
campaign.
Michigan and its people are as
different from the state Of Ohio and
its presidents as black 10 from white,
and there were elements In Ohio OPP
posed to suffrage. that do not exist at
all in Michigan" said Mrs. Susan M.
Sellers, chairman Of the Wayne coun-
ty campaign organization. "Of course,
we have the liquor interests always
with US, In this United States OF ours,
and these interests are as much op-
posed to suffrageyin Michigan, as they
were In Ohio. and sthey figured large
ly In Its defeat, there. When ! was ID
Columbus last week. i learned that
employers of women labor, In Ohio
were opposed to suffrage because OF
the power the vote would give to wo-
men In adjusting wage scales, better
sanitation OF factories, etc. These
men appealed to the male voters 10
stand suffrage, II was stated
stand against suffrage. because, II
was stated, that II the women were
given the ballot, II would mean that
women would crowd men out OF the
Industrial field more and more. Such
a foolish and unjust statement These
same employers will employ a woman
every time sooner than a man because
she has no vote and, therefore, ID
unable TO make her protest against
low wages and unsanitary factories
effective. As matter Of fact, proven
by statistics and practical experience,
universal suffrage improves the male
workers condition as we'll az that OF
the woman. All Michigan suffragists
will regret the Ohio defeat, but will
not be discouraged by It."
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, the noted
suffragist, who has been speaking In
behalf Of equal suffrage in Ohio and
Ia coming to Michigan for similar
purpose, will not reach Detroit, Thurs
day evening until the hour set for the
equal suffrage mass meeting, In Moose
hall. at which she IL TO be the princi-
pal speaker. DR.. Shaw begins her
Michigan campaign work In Kalamar
zoo, Wednesday and will make speech
ca In Battle Creek and Albion, Thurs
day, before coming to Detroit.

wealth TO the equal suffrage
propaganda, spoke in Columbus hall,

members of Detroit council. Knights

KNOX REFUSES TO GIVE
UP G.. o. p. RECORDS

Frank Knox. of Sault Ste. Marie,
has refused TO comply with the de-
mand of the Republican state central
committee that he surrender the card
index of prominent Republican work
era that was made up by the commit
tee two years ago when Knox was It's
chairman. Knox, who was a promin-
ent figure in the state and national
conventions Of the Progressive party,
makes his refusal in a telegram to
Charles Pierce, secretary OF the Re-
publican state committee, saying he
would not surrender the records held
as chairman until satisfied that his
successor has been legally elected
Since receiving Knox's telegram,
Secretary Pierce has written the for
mer chairman again, reiterating the
demand for the index and records, and
declaring that whatever contention
Mr. Knox might make about the cleo
ton Of a new state chairman in the
Bay City convention, the fact remain
ed that the secretary had been made
the custodian of the committees pa
pers and should have them turned
over TO him.

The farmer has to have several
scores OF articles. machinery OF DIFF

graft compels him 10 pay several
hundred dollars extra In excess
prices to get started In successful
farming on even a small scale.
The average value per acre OF all
farms In the United States In 1910
was only 1926. The farmer can
calculate that he would rather have
an extra 10 acres of land than make
a forced contribution of even $500 II

tureIs.
Agricultural implements to the
value OF nearly $60,000.000 were ex-
ported In 1911 to North America

OF the supervisors to say when .
