SUFFRAGISTS EXPECT
VICTORY AT POLLS

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 19.-Pros-
poets for suffrage victories in North
and South Dakota this fall look SO
rosy to suffrage leaders in these two
states and the northwest in general
that the Dakotas are being placed
positively in the "votes for women"
column by enthusiastic campaigners.
Next to the harvests, nothing is
creating SO much interest in these
great wheat raising belts as the suf-
frage campaigns. The women count
upon the enormous wheat crop to help
pile up their vote. Organization
workers say they have found farm
ers in such cheerful frame of mind
that boosting the campaign in the
rural districts has been an easy mat
ter.
The chances for success are believ-
ed to be shade better in South Da-
kota. Years ago, when suffrage was
first put to a vote in South Dakota,
it was defeated by the Russian vote
in the eastern part of the state. Since
that time the Black Hills district in
the west had been populated; more
Swedes and Norwegians have moved
into the state and the change in pub
lie sentiment toward the suffrage
movement has aided the cause ma
terially.
Five thousand dollars was appor-
toned by the national suffrage or
ganization to aid the fight in South
Dakota. Practically every county in
the state, including even those in the
remote sections, have been organized
for the different nationalities. The
Messenger, a suffrage paper, is be-
ing circulated from Pierre. Among
the speakers who will tour the state
in September is DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw.
In North Dakota, the fight is a
harder one, principally because the
proposed constitutional amendment
granting women the right to vote
must have majority, not only the
votes cast on the suffrage question,
but of all the votes cast at the cleo
ton. The principal efforts Of the
suffrage campaigners are being di-
rected to calling attention Of the vot-
ers to the proposed amendment. They
believe that IL every man who goes
to the polls in November casts his
ballot on the suffrage question they
will win decided victory.
Anti-suffragists have sent spsaksrs
into North Dakota and the dsbatss
between Mrs. Popuar, policswoman at
Fargo, who Is an ardent suffragist,
and Miss Marjorie Dorman, wealthy
New York woman, campaigning the
state for the ants, have done much
to awaken interest In the battle.
