nr,ver Of million women of New
York.
The first great fight for woman
suffrage in the East comes TO an
snd to-day. Six million women IN
bs three states Of New York, Mas
sschusetts- and Pennsylvania will
he enfranchised if the suffrage bills
are passed by the voters to-day.
The campaign in New York State
has been the most ambitious Of the
three. The prospects here are so un-
certain that the wisest Of men
nclitical leaders refuse to make any
pre-election forecasts. No great
state ever did win a suffrage cam
usign the first time, but no suffrage
state ever had so much money or so
many workers; neither did it ever
lave such enormous masses of
voters to convert or such strong
political machines TO crush.
Leaders on both sides among the
women predicted victory last night.
Mrs. Arthur Murray Dodge, presi-
Gsat Of the anti-suffrage organiza-
ticn, declared the suffragists would
lose by 10000. Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait, chairman Of the Empire
State Campaign Committee, pre-
dicted that they would win by at
lesst $4,000.
