TEN THOUSAND SUFFRAGE
MAJORITY EXPECTED
South Jersey Women Predict
Big Favorable Returns.
Expect to Win Seven of Eight
Southern Counties.

South Jersey has made up its mind
on the suffrage question, and the wo-
men of Camden, Burlington, Glouces-
ter and Salem counties say that the
result will show a big Eyes" for WON
en- on Oct. 10.
1--WE shall probably carry every one
of the eight southern counties, with
one possible exception, and come up
to the Mercer county line with a ma
jOrity of 10000 or more" was the
combined opinion of nine representa-
tive south Jersey women and Mrs.
Z. f. Feickert. president of the New
Jersey State Woman Suffrage asSocia-
ton, whose organization has started
several branches in the southern coun
ties.
The opinion vas given by Miss Edith
COale, RivertOn, Equal Suffrage
league; Miss Elizabeth Williams, vice
chairman Burlington county suffrage
committee; Mrs. George o. Swartz, vice
chairman Gloucester county commit
tee; Mrs. D. e. Maxfield, president of
the Florence Equal Suffrage league:

dona Dickson, chairman of the Salem
county committee.
Mrs. Feickert summed up the com
posite views of her southern Jersey
host of workers.
I'VE expect to carry South Jersey
she said. The reports of the can
vassers show very little opposition
for men and one IN these rura.
counties husbands aid wives are more
nearly partners in all the affairs OF
life than is possible in many of the
large manufacturing centerS.
1.-The men who trust theit wives with
the running of. their homes, the bring
ing up of their children. who consult
them about all their daily affairs, are
not going to refuse to make them full
partners with themselves in the life of
the state as we'll as of the life of the
home. i
Men judge all women by the women
they know, and the women of south
Jersey measure up to a high standard
of intelligence and reliability. Their
men are not going back on them on
election day. Women of New Jersey
are as worthy of trust and confidence
as are the 100000 voting women
of the twelve equal suffrage states,
and the vote of the men is going to
show what they think of their own.
another point which is sure to have
weight with the voters is that niles
the voice of the state in the councils
of the nation is going to be weaker in
the future than it has been in the past.
Women will vote for ninety-one presi-
Dental electors next year, whether
eastern women get the vote this fall
or not"

Wilson in favor Of the equal suffrage
amendment will bring thousands of votes
to the votes for women cause in this

leaders. President Wilson's statement
has been printed by the su~fragists as a
campaign document, and is being circu'

next winter includes other propositions.
They announce that they will work for
the passage of a bill providing for com
pensation in case a local option or Pro-
hibition law be passed requiring them
to give up the saloon business. They
hone the introduction of such a bill
would forestall the passage OF a local
option measure. They will also seek a
law providing for the censorship of
motion picture films rejecting on the
liquor industry. Another law proposed
by them is n to make unnecessary
the signing of applications for the re-
newal of liquor licenses.
Some of the business men Of the state
are advocating the enactment of amend
ments to the "Seven Sisters" antitrust
laws passed while President Wilson was
Governor of New Jersey. These laws
deal with the regulation of corporations,
and those who would have them amended
claim they are too drastic.
There was no Governors Day" at the
State House yesterday, as most of the
state officials and all of the politicians
were observing Columbus Day. Cover
nor Fielder observed the day at his home
in Jersey City, and as far as official bust
ness went the State House was practical
" deserted. Some of the Boards and
Commissions which should have met yes
terday will hold their meetings ON Fri
day. 1t is expected that next Tuesday
many of the state officials will remain
at home to vote on the constitutional
amendments, so that there will also be
a dearth of political doings at the Capt.
tol that day.
The Joint Committee of the Legisla-
ture appointed by the last session 70 ex-
anime into the workings of the Legisla-
ture, the number of employees required
and so on, met at the State House yester-
day, but owing to the holiday there was
a quorum present, so no business
was transacted. Adjournment was taken
until November 8, when a definite inves-
will be taken up. Senator Hut
Crimson, of Mercer, is the Chairman, the
other members being Senators Mathis, of
Ocean, Republican, and McGinnis, of Pas
sale, Democrat; and Assemblyman Ham
mond, of Mercer; Stevens, of Cape May;
Conrad, of Ocean, and Wolfe, of Essex,
Republicans; and John J.. Johnson, of
Bergen, Democrat.
The resolution directs the Committee
to investigate the routine of the passage
of bills, the number of employees and
questions, so as to put the hand
ling of the legislative business on a
scientific basis.

Amendments.
Any amendment to the Constitution
may be proposed in the Senate or
General Assembly, and if the same
shall be agreed to by a majority of the
members elected to each of the two
houses, such proposed amendment
shall be entered on their journals, with
the yeas and nays taken thereon; and
referred to the Legislature then next
to be chosen and shall be published
for three months previous to making
such choice in at least one newspaper
of each county, if any be published
therein; and if in the next Legislature
next chosen as aforesaid, such pro-
posed amendment shall be agreed to
by a majority of all the members
elected to each house when it shall
be the duty of the Legislature to sub
NIT such proposed amendment to the
people in such manner as the Legis-
lature shall prescribe, at the election
for members of the General Assembly
held next after four months shall have
elapsed after the amendment shall
have been agreed to by both houses
OF the Legislature as aforesaid; and
II the people at such general election
shall approve and ratify such amend
ment by a majority of the electors
qualified to vote for members of the
Legislature voting thereon, such
amendment so approved and ratified
shall become part of the Constitution;
provided, that if more than one amend
ment is submitted, they shall be sub
mitted in such name and form that
the people may vote for or against
each amendment separately and dis
tinctly; provided further, that when
any amendment has been submitted
to the people and by them rejected,
no similar amendment shall be sub
mitted again within i've years from
such rejection.
We call your attention, especially to
the last part in bold face type-it
shows where the gentlemen of color
is. Read often enough to let its mean
ing sink into your mind. Then, re-
fleet, that if local option, woman suf-
frage or any other amendment of i'm
portance to a large number of people
gets turned down, you cannot bring
it up again for five years. It ties your
hands and in a cowardly way, too, they
(the politicians) intend just to slip it
over on you. Don't stand for tits
a bad principle to tie to. 1t is In
American. What are legislatures for
anyway, but to carry out the will of
the people? Even if they have to vote
on each amendment every session,
what of it-that's what they are paid
for. AS for the expense the people
pay it and such expense isn't a drop
in the bucket beside ome of the
schemes originated by gang machines
and put through by an obedient major
ity. We are a free people-the Con-
stitution says so, but we are some
times too COMPOUNDED lazy to see that
our freedom, is effective. We call on
every man who a think and act for
himself to vote NO on this amendment.
1t is No. 2 and regulates subsequent
amendments to the Constitution. Not
only vote no but pass the word along
so that there will be a large majority
against it.

Is Advertising Expensive?

Advertising that is regarded
by the advertiser as an expense
is just that. There is something
wrong with it. Nine times out
of ten the copy has a charley
horse. It's so weak it couldn't
move itself let alone move others
And whose fault is that? Ad-
vertisings? Not on your life.
It's the fault of the man who is
paying for the advertising. Go
to his store, and the chances are
that you will find it slowly expir-
ing from dry rot. The goods
will be dirty and unkept. The
shelves will be dusty and neglect
ed. Even the boss will have a
crouch. and the crouch never at
tracts buyers. Life is too short
to waste with the wooden faces.
1t isn't the advertising that's ex-
pensive, its the lack of push
that's behind the failures.
