suffrage in 1916"
The above slogan, now the catch
phrase of every advocate of suffrage
ir this state promises to be reality
Ohio suffragists are not downcast be-
cause the issue failed in the last gen
eral election. Here's the reason:
In 1912 votes for women" receiv-
ed 250,000 votes. This year the vote
was 325,0O0.
IF $4,000 additional voters are won
over to the cause in two years, why
can't little harder work win over
twice as many in the next two
years.? the women are asking. They
are already at work. Suffrage was
defeated by the large city vote this
year. The women will now concen-
trate their efforts in these localities.
The campaign is already on.
