bars OF saloons at Camden, thus identi-
flying the liquor interests with the op-
position to the amendment. These cards,
she said, had the amendment printed on
them with the warning: Vote No on
October 10.
For the first time IN the history Of New
Jersey elections there will be women
watchers at the polls tomorrow. Con-
vinced that an honest election will mean
a victory by a 5000 majority, the suf-
fragists intend to take every precaution
20 make that victory safe. Detectives
will be employed and cameras used to
establish evidence where repeating Is
suspected.
Today final plans for getting the re-
turns as early as possible are being made
Jersey City will be the headquarters for
receiving the returns. and Mrs. Lillian F.
Feickert, president of the suffra gists, will
be In charge. All over the State the
watchers have received instructions to
send in their returns in half-hourly re-
ports, so as to avoid confusion when the
polls are closed. Tonight parades will
be held to wind up tho campaign all over
the state. "a
Everywhere political leaders are pre-
dieting victory, and the suffragists OPP
timism seems justified by the encouraging
statements Of some OF the most astute
men in the state.
ANOTHER CONVERT.
Martin p. Devlin, Democratic leader
and prosecutor of Mercer County, of
which Trenton is the seat is one OF the
most recent ones TO declare in favor OF
suffrage. He was appointed prosecutor
by President Wilson when the latter was
Governor of New Jersey. and is one OF
the strongest supporters of Wilson in the
county. He took the stump for the suf-
fragists few weeks ago.
'If the same education had been given
the electorate in Essex and Camden
Counties" he said today, "as has been
the case in Mercer County, there would
not be even the slightest uncertainty as
to the result. The suffragist leaders have
worked bard in this county, and Mercer
Will go for suffrage by a large majority.
The sufiragists may win in Essex despite
the machine and Jim Nugent. They
may also carry Camden County regard
less OF machine influence and the infiu-
ence of Philadelphia politicians"
An emphatic denial issued by Republi-
can State Chairman Newton A. X. Bug
bee, of Trenton, that he had declared
against suffrage, was gratifying to suf-
fragists. An alleged interview claimed
to have been secured by Barrett L. Gram
dali, of Elizabeth, publicity manager for
the "antis," put the chairman on record
as saying, among other things: "I expect
the Republican party to vote solidly
against votes for women"

alleged interview. 1.-THE man represent
ing himself to be the publicity director
aid met me on the street and told him
that I was not taking any hand In the
matter, and that had nothing whatever
TO say about &C." added the Republican
leader.
Miss Lavenia Engle. central campaign
manager for the New Jersey Suffrage AS
sociation, said today that there was moth

win in Mercer County.
"There will be a victory In the entire
State" she said, by a good majority
Although there is a chance OF losing IN
Camden and Essex Counties, there VIII
be a big support in the rural sections
and the prospects in general look bright
for us tomorrow"
Frederick w. Gnichtel. former Judge OF
the Mercer Court OF Common Pleas, said
that he was greatly In favor Of suffrage;
that he was OF the opinion that II would
win at the election tomorrow, and that
while he thought the vote would not be
large, Il would show that the work OF the
suffragists had borne fruit and that the
people OF the State wanted the women to
have the same right as men at the polls.

Forty-fve cats. black, white, yellow.

and went out in big automobile TO the
Gaumont studio at Flushing. to appear
with Cissy Fitzgerald in a motion picture,
"A Corner In CATS for the Mutual pro-
gram.
Edwin Middleton, director Of the
comedy, after using every cat he could
hire at the rate Of hve cents day. found
that he still lacked about IS. so he
telephoned Mrs. II. U. Kibbe. president
of the Bide-a-wee home. which Mrs.
George II. Gould, Mrs. Ulysses Grant
and a number of other prominent society
women are interested in. He was offered
the cats free of charge IL he would return
them in the same good condition he took
them away in.
The picture a Corner in Cats" tells
the sad tale Of the results Of greed Two
enterprising crooks go TO a new town and
hire a big hall. They put up a sign to
the effect that they will pay money for
cats. The countryside quickly rlds itself
Of feline pets. Then when the rats and
mice over-run the place, they have to
purchase their cats back at much
fancier price than they so hurriedly sold
them at.
The returns in the hy-swatting contest
at the Vitagraph plant in Flatbush which
has been going on all summer, have been
tabulated and Hughie Mack is found to
have won the tin cup offered for the
greatest number of flies swatted. He was
considered an odds-on favorite anyway
partly because of his area, the size of hts
swatters and because of his natural
tendency to sit still and give the flies a
chance to light.

 The address Of the evening was de. livered by Judge Royal A.

CIT. Judge Gunnison is one of the few commencement speakers who does not inform a class about to leave Che high school that they have passed the best part oG their lives and that the life before them is to be a struggle in which the Attest only may survive.
 He spoke of the high school four years as "a preparation. door, lead- ing into the larger room, to the field in which each student would be more individually responsible for his own success.
 A few straight from the shoulder remarks about the necessity of CO., operation between the school and the community received the hearty ap- plause of the audience. as did the speakers commendation of the sue lcess with which the schools have fn- ished the present year.
 Special music was furnished by Sumprs orchestra and two vocal se- llections were rendered by Miss Cry stal Snow, who was received with that enthusiasm which a Juneau audience always accords her.
 At the close of the program Super intendent l.. D. Henderson addressed few brief remarks to the class of 1915 and supplemented Mr. Gunni- son's address by bringing out the im- portance of Q high moral standard as team mate for knowledge if the goal power" was to be achieved
