fight will be precipitated this fall. The
more conservative equal suffragists
argue that now is too soon after the
defeat of suffrage last fall to begin
another campaign, but the more ard
ent hold that nothing can be lost by
starting campaign Immediately,
even though the people again should
give an adverse vote. 1t will mean
at least education, assert the radical
leaders of Ohio suffragists, and will
be another stepping stone to victory
even though final victory bo not at

No Violent Tactics.
From the Capitol here there is every
indication that equal suffrage is CO.
ing to be as vital an issue in Ohio
and throughout the United States dur
ing the next few years as it has been
and now is in England. Not that the
American suffragettes will resort to
violent tactics. There is little. if any,
promise of that. But it is shown that
the leaders of the suffrage movement
will leave no stone unturned until
they have turned turvy every state in
the union. Ohio, for example, with
out question will vote again on suf-
frage neXet fall if not this fall. And
every eastern, state will be divided
soon in warning camp with the suf-
fragists on the one side and the
"anti" on the other. The victory in
Illinois is the incentive that is caus-
ing the suffrage leaders to make new
and determined onslaughts. The
issues involved are far more serious
than many imagine. The liquor inter-
ests of the nation, for example don't
view the situation with the same COM
placency with which it looked upon
suffrage half dozen years ago. Fact
in that woman suffrage is the biggest
bugbear the liberal interests have
had in recent years.
Liquor People VIII Fight.
So the liquor people are prepared
for determined fight. The manufac-
turing interests in many cases will
| aid them Large corporations will
throw their influence to the "antis."
On the opposite side the biggest single
factor will be the liquor vote. 1t will
| go almost solidly with woman suf-
frage as it has gone in England. On
| the whole the contest won't be mere
! pillow fight. Each side is grimly de-
termined. The suffragists are jubil-
antly aggressive, flushed with recent
victory. The opposition believing it.
self to be warning for it's very exist
ence, is fighting with its back to the
wall, and is terribly desperate.
High Court Vacation Controversy.
The biggest and most interesting
feature of the hot weather here is the
1 supreme court vacation controversy.
It's becoming so interesting in fact
that it is causing many observers to
forget the torrid heat of the sun. Just
now 1t is Judge Wanamaker's inning.
And he is making the most of it.
/ When he cancelled his trip to Europe
he made tremendously big hit, even
though it was a sacrifice. He is back
in Columbus now smiling at the dis
comfiture of his colleagues. Apparent
ly they believed that they could put
him in hole politically If they waited
until he left for Europe before an
nouncing their determination to work
most of the summer. But Wana-
maker is showing promise of getting
out of the hole and then showing his
five colleagues in. In other words he
is going to ask that the court remain
in session all summer and do bust
! ness. All through the hot weather
Wanamaker will demand that the
court work at dry and tedious cases
instead of answering the call of lake
breezes and shady summer groves
And the funny part of it is for the
average citizen who rarely gets any
vacation at all, that the court prob
ably will be compelled to come to
Wanamaker's terms. The Akron jur'
list has shown his cards face upward
on the table is a gaming analogy can
be pardoned. The next play OF the
opposition will be fascinating to OBJ
serve.
