State Editors Strong for Suffrage;
See Good Chance to Win New York
Tribune Poll Outside This City Shows Newspaper Sentiment
Overwhelming for Amendment Predictions Indicate
Vote Will Be Close:

The editors Of New York State are
strongly in favor OF woman suffrage.
A Tribune poll by telegraph Of 229
newspaper editors gave 143 in favor
of suffrage and intending to vote for
it; Ga, or less than one-third, against
1t, and %, or less than one-tenth,
neutral or non-committal.
New York City was not included
in the poll.
The editors were also asked to
make a rough prediction as to how
their several communities would
vote on November 2. No figures
were asked and few were attempted.
But the general trend of opinion by
counties gives an interesting light
on the probabilities of next Tues
days vote.
Briefly, the opinions Of the states
editors indicate that the suffrage
amendment has a good chance of
coming down to the city line with
majority.
OF the counties outside of New
York, twelve can be counted on to
give q majority for the suffrage
amendment; eleven are certain to
vote against it; eight appear slight
ly favorable to the amendment and
will probably give majorities for it,
and twenty-five are in doubt, likely
to give but @ small majority one
way or the other.
This is the telegram which The
Tribune sent to the editors of every
daily newspaper and a number Of
wecklies in the state outside of the
greater city:
"Do you personally favor or op-
pose woman suffrage? Will the
amendment carry your town."
When it came to making predictions
every editor apparently subordinated
his personal feelings TO the demand
for the truth. This was evident from
scores Of kilograms. Many, confessing
they were against the amendment, pre-
dicted il would be carried in their
locality, and avowed suffragists con-
fessed that their respective commu-
mites would vote No.
Only One Editor Opposed.
The method by which a county was
placed either for or against the amend
ment, or in the doubtful column, can
best be illustrated by taking Living
ston County. Ten editors from this
county sent answers. Nine of. them
personally favored the amendments
They were J. ". Burgess, Dansville;
K. A. Peck, Caledonia; II. X. Gibson,
Avon; D. II. Kingston, Dalton; Oscar
Woodruff, Dansville; B. H. Knapp,
Morris; Harry NJ. Robinson, Mount
Morris and the editor of 1.-The Living
ston Republican" of Geneseo.
Only one editor, A. II. Collins, OF
Caledonia, was opposed. Yet the nine
editors in favor Of it, and one opposed
to it, did not enter into the prediction
at all Only the replies to the second
question: "Will the amendment carry
your town ?" were considered in plac-
ing Livingston in the doubtful column.
Six editors replied that their commu-
mites were doubtful; two that their
towns would be against the amend
ment, and two that the amendment
would be carried.
The counties which the predictions
/ indicate will roll up majority Ior
