coursed IFS peaceful way beneath the
great arch of towering stone. Tommy,

MICHIGAN NEWS
SEE PLOT AGAINST
SUFFRAGE CAUSE
State Headquarters Sounds a
Warning Against Circular
Spread Broadcast

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Oct. as
The following statement has been Is
sued at the state headquarters OF the
Michigan Equal Suffrage association:
The Michigan Equal Suffrage as
ISOLATION which has encountered prac-
ueally no organized opposition up TO
the present time. 10 now being OPP
posed by a circular entitled: Vote for
woman suffrage and make Michigan
dry
This circular purports to be an
argument for woman suffrage and
consists OF quotations from w. G. t.
u. workers. The w. c. T. u. denies
responsibility for It.
We are not surprised by this cir
cular because the same scheme was
used In Ohio and we have been warn
ing the voters OF the state against
trick circular at the last OF the cam
paign. While II purports to contain
arguments for woman suffrage 1t mis-
represents the position OF the Michi-
gan Equal Suffrage association
The w. @. T. u. numbers about
$4,000 women. There are 100000 wo-
men In the state. The equal suffrage
movement has been endorsed by the
Oranges, the Cleaners. the Maccabees
and the Women's clubs. II 10 safe to
say there are more than 100000 wo-
men In the organizations that have
endorsed suffrage and that many
thousands more in Michigan believe
In IL, so the w. c. T. u. In no sense
represents the suffragists Of Michi-
gan. II q suffragist desires to be a
W. c. +. u. or anything else, she has
perfect right to be and IL she de-
sires to oppose that society or any
other society, II she is a voting citizen
she has an equal right.
Our association has had No con-
nection with the W. c. T. u. and We
are not responsible for what the w.
G. II. u. says or does. The Temper.
ance issue has nothing to do with wo-
man suffrage. We have conducted
our campaign for woman suffrage on
Its merits. believing that women have
the right to vote. None OF the six
states where women vote are Prohibi-
tion states and IL the women when
they get the ballot wish to divide
upon the subject of temperance, they
have perfect right to do 30 and will
do so.
We are relying upon the manhood
OF Michigan for we believe the Michi-
gan men will not allow themselves
to be ericked into voting against this
cadse which would otherwise appeal
to them"

How Michigan Stands.

Michigan may as well be placed
in the doubtful column, with Roose-
Welt and Wilson fighting gamely for
/ the honors and Taft coming along.
The change during the last week may
have been slightly toward Roosevelt
because OF the attempt TO assassinate
him, but few experts believe that act
will perceptibly alter the results on
election day. Although the test bal
lots upon which comment Is based 90
not to any great extent indicate an
increased tide Rooseveltward his IN
dicated plurality Is 24,S36. On per-
centage OF change Of votes wilson
wins by an indicated plurality OF To-
332. A week ago the table showed
Roosevelt a winner on the face OF the
returns by an indicated plurality OF
q, 056 and Wilson by a plurality OF
1862. The two sets OF pluraliues
run evenly with Wilson losing little
and the colonel making slight gains.
"In the farming communities Roose-
Welt has been taking votes away from
Taft at 4 rapid rate. while In the In
dustrial centers and in small cities

Based only on the face of the straw

strong lead over Wilson. The indi-

President Taft Is not doing very
well In. the lower peninsula. and in
the upper the normal Republican plur-
atty is likely TO fade considerably
and be divided between Wilson and
the rough rider. II is becoming APP
parent throughout the lower section
that in the farming regions thdfe is
a feeling that Taft is not to win and
that farmers who like Taft would be
wasting their votes. Only the never
say-die Republicans may be depended
on to vote for the president in rural
Michigan on this assumption. The
situation above the straits Is much
better, so far as Taft is concerned,
but even there 1t has caused alarm in
