Optimistic Over Prospect of the

f. w. Gibson returned Sunday from

lie spoke at Big Rapids Monday night
and was at Grand Rapids at meeting
OF business men Tuesday. On Wednes-
day he was the guest of the Acme Man
ufactnring company officials at luncheon

was the guest of the president of the
burroughs Adding Machine COMPANY
and addressed about 500 of the employ

Washington. Friday ne spoke to the
employees of the Studebaker Automo-
bile company in the afternoon and mt
Ann Arbor, with Alice Carpenter of
New York, in the evening. this being
his first visit to Ann Arbor since Ieay-
ing the University Of Michigan ID wears
ago. Saturday he spoke at meeting
in Detroit
When asked concerning the Michigan
campaign he said: The prineipal is
sues involved in the campaign are
woman suffrage, the initiative. the ref
eFendum and the recall OF all officials
except judges. The legislature of Mich.
iSan recently submitted constitutional
amendments covering these matters TO
vote of the people.
II am inclined to believe that the
woman suffrage amendment may NOT
prevail because the Republican ma
chine, the Democratic machiue and the
liquor Interests are Joined together 10
bring about it : defeat. The Tauor
interests are open in their declaration
that the granting of suffrage to women
means the end Of he saloon i'm the
state of Michigan A few ultra-con.
servatiNe women arc opposing votes for
women and waEing their campaign
upon money furnished by the saloon
interests.
"In the last state election the Pro
gFesslNe party ran third, so / hardly
expect that the party viii win I'm this
election of officials, but I expect 4 sub
Stantlal gain over the November vote.
You know. the Progressive partv Is not
vet a year old. 1t took the Republieaps
approximately six years to win n sub
stantlal victory after the formation of
the party. After 1860 it took the Dem.
ocratic party - years to win. So. If we
succeed an casting a good vote i'm four
years, every Progressive will be entire
y satisfied. The principles embodied
IN the Progressive party platform are
being adopted in large number of the
states. TO us that is a more satisfac-
tory kind OF victory than winning
the election of officials.
Judge Gibson appears to have sized
up the situation correctly. Incomplete
returns Indicate that the proposed
woman suffrage amendment was de-
feated, but that the other measures
mentioned were carried.
