woman suffrage in Ohio, Nebraska,
Montana and Nevada in the NOvem-
Der elections was predicted today by
Mrs. Raymond S. Brown, president of
the Empire State Suffrage League.
A suffrage constitutional amend
ment is to be voted on in seven states,
but in the Dakotas and Missouri Mrs.
Brown frankly admitted that the out

two she said the provisions Of the
state constitution made an amend
ment almost an impossibility, while
the MissouTians were apathetic.
