Talking with New Jersey men about
the woman suffrage amendment for a
whole week certainly gave me the i'm
preston that n ajority Of them either
haven't thought about il or haven't
been able TO make up their minds how
they would vote on October 10. But
men are deceivers ever, and maybe
George J. Reiss, secretary Of the cen
trail labor body Of Union County and
editor Of The Union Labor Advocate" i"
s !'gh,.
New Jersey men have made up their
minds on that amendment" Ir. ReisS
told me yesterday, sitting on the porch
Of has nome, at 1898 Grove Street. ElIz-
aDeth. They may not be telling, but
they know how they'll vote, and all the
fuss and noise thatll go on between
now and October l9 won't make bit
Of difference"
Mr. Rciss contradicted another gem
oral impression namely, that the vote
will be small one.
THE amendment will call out the
biggest vote that was ever polled at
special election" he prophesied. But
when / asked him to prophesy on re-
suits he shook his head. | mentioned
that the city editor of THE Elizabeth
Evening Times" had said 10 me that
the common belief was that Union
County would defeat the amendment
about TO |.
ii wouldn't say that" Mr.. Reiss an
swered NO; if suffrage loses in Union
County it'll be by narrow majority.
II il loses in the state it'll be By a
narrow majority. I'm afraid it is going
to lose this time. And yet you can't
tell. There isn't a county that is sure
TO 20 against il except Essex. where
Jim Nugent has been working, and
maybe Hudson.
"The farmers are going TO vote for
the women, depend on it, and their bal
lots will do a good deal to offset the
anti vote in the cities. The Socialist
vote. about $1,000 in New Jersey, will
20 for the women TO man. Union
labor is mostly for the amendment.
Yes, | know the New Jersey Fedora
tion Of Labor put Itself on record
against woman suffrage, but the Union
County delegates hardly got home be-
fore we passed resolutions indorsing
the amendment, and number Of local
labor organizations have done the same.
The rank and file of labor is for woman
suffrage"
The vote of wealthy commuters is an
element feared by Mr. Ress, who is
strong for suffrage and who devoted a
recent issue of his little paper to
whooping up the cause.
Those Wall Street men," he OBJ
served "don't know life and have no
sympathy with working women"
"They won't be home to vote; they'll
be in Wall Street, making money, won't
they" | asked.
1--WE keep the polls open in New Jer-
sey till o'clock. Oh. they'll be home
to vote" said Mr.. Reiss, bitterly.

which are spread abroad so indus

Suffrage in Colorado has meant bet

which means, according to the best in
formation obtainablc tonight, that last
years appropriations for the army and
navy will be the same at the coming
session of Congress.
1t is understood that the President
assured Mr.. Bryan that there would be
no large increases in expenditures. as
had been rumored. as the result Of the
call on the War and Navy departments
for preparedness plans. On the other
hand. Nh Bryan is believed to have
abandoned his opposition to any build
ing programme at all, and to have
agreed that If last years figures were
not exceeded he would not oppose the
administration recommendations
After the conference Mr.. Bryan pre-
served the most rigid silence. He de-
clined to admit that preparedness,
peace or any other subject had been
discussed. For the first time, however.
he made definite statement as TO the
kind Of preparedness programme he
would support.
Present Appropriations Enough.
"Thc present appropriations are SUI
fcient," he dictated carefully TO the
Tribune correspondent. and there IS no
reason why any one should work up a
scare. There had not been in ffty

for an increase in the appropriations
