Cleveland, Aug. 31.-The good old
state of Ohio, which has borne the
brunt Of many a hard political cam
paign. is passing through the last
stage Of a political fight, the like of
which IL has not often seen before.
The women OF the state, or at least
very vigorous portion OF them, want
the suffrage, and a vote is to be taken
by the people-meaning the men
September 3, TO determine the ques-
ton.
Suffragists throughout the country
appreciate the importance OF this
Ohio fight, and are watching il with
intense interest Victory for suffrage
here would have a marked effect on
the other states which are to vote
upon the question in November-Ore-
gon, Kansas, Michigan, Wisconsin
and Arizona. Hence the suffragists
have made unusual efforts, and many
speakers from other states have been
called in.
Many OF the women workers ex-
press confidence that their cause will
win. Possibly their hopes have given
birth TO the thought. Seasoned poll
ticians who have been in the thick
of other fights declare the suffrage
amendment will be defeated.
For many weeks auto parties have
gone out daily from headquarters al
over Ohio. Yellow banners have pro
claimed them in no uncertain ways
and tons OF literature and hundreds

The fight has been carried every

yell:

You'll suffer more than you've suf-
fered yeti"
The goods at once boycotted the
boys parties. the result being, mas
culine capitulation. Said the foot
ball captain:
The fellows have to stand out in
the road and shout Votes for Wom-
en- before they can get a partner for
a social function-or for life!"

of the most prominent women in the
south; Mrs. Maud Wood Park OF
Boston, vice president of the college
