Michigan suffragettes Predict

Detroit, Nov. 3.-Advocates of woman
suffrage in Michigan express confidence
that the constitutional amendment grant
ing women the ballot, to be voted on
Tuesday, will carry by a sweeping ma
jority. A well organized campaign in be-
half of woman suffrage has been carried
on throughout the state for many months.
Speakers of nationwide reputation have
been imported from many states and cir
culars containing the Endorsement Of the
movement by prominent Clergymen, busl-
ness and professional men and politicians
have been distributed everywhere.
The only other constitutional amend
ment to be submitted to Michigan voters
in the forthcoming election is one proyid-
ing for the revision Of municipal charters

amendment will have an important effect
IN Detroit II II is adopted. There have
been many unsuccessful attempts 10 re-
wise the local charter with reference 10

Governor Herbert S. Hadley, Roosevelt
floor leader at the Chicago convention
remained loyal to his party after the
colonel had been defeated for the nomi-
nation. Though he fought valiantly for
Mr.. Roosevelt, the young Missouri Gov
ernor, who was the central figure in one
Of the most remarkable demonstrations
OF that gathering, declared that, as a
Progressive, it was his duty to remain
a Republican, and praised the platform,
saying:
There were some planks which were
omitted which l should like 10 have seen
adopted, but there will be found, l be-
lieve, in the platform nothing that is oD-
jectionable to any Republican, and, on
the whole, it is the most progressive plat
form We have ever presented TO the
American people.
The Governor frequently stated that he
saw no need for a third party, and in
magazine article published in August he
detailed his reasons for continuing with
the party with which he had been allied.
About the beginning of October he de-
clared himself for President Taft, and
expected TO take the stump for him, but
was forced TO cancel all his speaking
engagements when he was attacked by
ivy poisoning, contracted while hunting
on his farm.
