 ROSEATE SKIES
It Is Already Figured Out by Counties That the Votes for Women Amend ment Cannot Possibly Be Beaten

Flbertus of East Aurora, who sells Morris chairs and language at fabu- lous prices, who said recently: There is not one single valid argument against woman suffrage"
 Suffra gists in Arizona may not ac- cept all of Brother Elbert's sayings Cto say nothing of his dOings) at their face value, but they do most enthusi- astically endorse that proposition. They think the Roycrofter is just about right on the ballot idea.
 And when mention is made of "suf- fragists," let it not be understood that this remark applies merely to persons of the female persuasion. The men who are Championing the movement are just as are the women. Talk to a few of them and be convinced.
 But the question of WOmen's rights" isn't the only thing that en- ters into the suffragists calculations at this time. They are convinced, and have been for long time, that the women have the right" of suf- frage already. The trouble is to get the male contingent to recognize the right And if one takes the trouble to circulate among those who are 'on the inside" of the suffrage movement he will find that one of the burning questions of the day is that involving the probable action of the male con tingent when it comes time to make up its mind at the suffrage amend ment election In other words, what are the chances of carrying the state for the women?
 Everybody. of course, knows what pre-election claims are like. Talk to a socialist and he will tell you that Debs is going to get the biggest vote ever cast for any candidate or that party. Talk to a democratic and vou will hear that it's Wilson and Marshall by a staggering majority Request the views of a republican and he will tell you the tide has already set in for Taft and that when the ides of November roll around the Ohioan will again come into his own Likewise. the Bull Moose contingent will solemnly assure you that we might as well be transacting the countrv's business right now at Oys- ter Bay. for the colonel will sweep the country.
 So. the suffragists are seeing some rose colored visions these times. Arl- yona. they say. will go for equal suf- frage bv an immense majority
 Naturally. some allowance must De made for partisan enthusiasm. But oven allowing for a liberal discount there are plenty of men who belleVe or at least they profess to believe, that the state is certain to Joln the equal rights column after the No- vember election.
 one of these men is Senator Harry Davis. who is getting quite lot or advertising out of his champlohlhs ol the cause of the women.
 ..You just wait and see. said the senator yesterday.
