MICHIGAN WOMEN
BATTLE VAL|ANTLY
TO OBTAIN BALLOT
Suffragist Leaders Predict
Victory in November
Election.

DETROIT. Mich. Sept. 9.-With COM
plete political organizations in about
fifty of the eighty-three counties in the
State, and with hope OF extending into
every county before the November cleo
ton. leaders of the Michigan State
Equal Suffrage Society today enthusi
astically predicted a sweeping victory
for their cause.
A State constitutional amendment
providing for equal suffrage will be
coming general election. The amend
ment was adopted by the legislature at
the special session last February, and
Michigan suffragists at once began ac-
lively to organize their forces for
thorough campaign.
Governor Osborn, who approved the
measure, has let II be known on several
occasions that he was inclined to favor
votes for women.
Made Earnest Campaign.
From the day that the amendment was
passed by both houses, largely through
the efforts of Mrs. Clara b. ArthrT,
of Detroit, and Mrs. Huntley Russell,
of Grand Rapids, respectively president
and vice president of the State society,
the women of Michigan have been at
work, perfeCting branches Of the or
ganization in counties, cities and viii
lagos.
The suffragists have perfected State
wide organization that has surprised
old time politicians.
In the large cities like Detroit, Grand
Rapids, and Kalamazoo, each ward has
its leader and all the precincts have
:heir special workers. At Grand Rap
los, there is we'll organized and thor
oughly equipped speakers bureau
which will bring into Michigan equal
suffrage advocates of national repute.
Promise Hot Fight.
The women leaders promise that IN
the nine weeks remaining before cleo
ton the State will see campaign
which will be a surprise to expert
enced party leaders.
For a month past sutfragist spell
binders have made street speeches in
Detroit from automo biles and have
been greeted by large crowds and re-
spectful attention. Other workers
have visited the factory districts a.
lunch time and at night and have pre-
sented the equal suffrage question tC
the workers.
In the country districts, where i
| has been impossible for the women tC
present oral arguments the voters
have been flooded with an avalanche
| of literature on the subject. One o
| the best organizations in. the STATE
| is in Wayne county, where Miss SusaI
Macklin Sellers is at the head of tht
| work.
