Campaign Already Won.
Then followed an hour of optimism,
in which was informed as follows:
"The labor vote will be cast solid
for suffrage.
THE farmers will all vote for it.
Every candidate for Governor Is 1or
il.
EVERY newspaper i'm Boston is for it.
There are $50 suffrage items in state
papers every week and only l25 anti
suffrage items.
The sufTragists are directly respon-
sible for the success Of the Red SoN.
They offered s. for every home run
made By the Boston men, and this so
insured the players that the pennant
is surely theirs. The suifragists now
offer SO run for the world series.
Fifteen thousand women Will march
for votes on October Is.
"There isn't shadow Of a doubt
but that the women will win"

making a splendid campaign. but they
can't make any Roadway against the
general indifference of the women.
There is practically no anti-suhrase
campaign. None is necessary. Inc
women as whole do not want II. ana
until they do the men aren't going to
bother TO give il to them.
"Here in Boston il is only the Blue
Stocking set who want II. My own
daughters belong to that set. so I'm
going TO vote for il. It's Just case
of bringing up father on, | know

THE women will get 30 per cent
