Binghamton Outlook Dark
BINGHAMTON, Oct 26.-The out
look for suffrage in Broomc County Is
not as bright as IL was two years ago,
when the sutfragists carried the coun-
Nv. Although campaigncrs have worked
lust as hard. the effort is not rs gem
eral as in 1915. and many of those
who took an active part then have re-
tired from the firing line.
See Victory in Albany
ALBANY. Oct. 26.-There is every
indication that the suffrage movement
is gaining strength every day. Its sup
porters are conducting an active cam
paign throughout the state. and are
greatly encouraged by the reports they
get from the women who worked at the
places of registration during the last
week or two. Two years ago woman
suffrage was beaten by 74S,332, and
many sufrragists are now looking. to
the cutting down Of this figure TO less
than 100000 The suffrage workers at
the headquarters in this city received
with much satisfaction the announce
ment of Mary Carrot Hay that the
suffrage amendment will be carried
in New York City.
Syracuse Expects Defeat
SYRACUSE. Oct. 26. 49, Indications
are that Onondaga County's vote ior
woman suffrage will be the largest OF
any yet polled. but that suffrage VIII
be beaten by close vote.
The suffragists have been conduct
ing the most active kind Of cam
paign. Street speakers have been hold
ing forth almost nightly in the down
town sections. Newspapers, blliboards
and circulars have been lavishly used
in an advertising campaign as well as
personal letters and appeals.
The "antis" have been active, but
not as active as in 1915. They have
done some campaigning, but not on
the scale of former days, while the
"pros" have redoubled their efforts.
Poughkeepsie Suffs Confident
POUGHKEEPSIE. Oct. 26.-Despite
the fact that in 1915 the suffrage cues
ton was lost in Poughkeepsie by l'34O
and in Duchess County by 5,oSo' leau-
ers of the Equal Suffrage party who
are campaigning in this city and county
in the interest of the suffrage ques-
tion are extremely confident of a vic
tory. The general trend throughout
the county, however. seems to be that
there will be as big vote against
suffrage as two years ago.

to take when the question of giving
the ballot to women is passed upon
Election Day. The White House picketss
appear to have injured the cause OF
equal suffrage in this locality.

Wooden Ship Builders
Hit by Decision

The upshot was that 1858 wooden
ships and sixty-eight "half-and-haif'
otherwise composite ships. were finally
ordered.
And that is the end Of the wooden
ship programme.
Hereafter the United States shipping
Board will build only steel sh'pS-
unless the propaganda now being or

is powerful enough to force change

Women See Victory for Their Cause
In Endorsement by the President

Of the victory TO which we are looking
forward"
Apparently the only women in the
city who DO not expect the Presidents
word 10 have any weight with the
voters are the anti-suffragists.
81 am not surprised at President
Wilson's message" said Miss Alice Hill
Chittenden, president of the New York
State Association Opposed TO Woman
Suffrage, yesterday. ale has sent these
messages before, and they are nothing
more than | should expect from him.
However, nothing in the message has
caused me to change my opinion that
woman suffrage will be defeated on
November in New York State"
Suffrage headquarters were buzzing
yesterday with favorable comment on
the Presidents stand. Suffrage in
dorsement has come from the Presl-
dent before, but never before has he
put the question on a basis of eXpe-
diency, and never, say the suffragists,
has he uttered statement for the
cause so strong and unqualified.
Summing up the campaign in gen
eral state officers of the suffrage or
ganization issued statements yesterday
predicting success for the cause on
Election Day.
Men of Vision Favor Plan
"There has never before been such
enthusiastic and ardent support for a
suffrage campaign" said Mrs. Ogden
Reid, treasurer Of the state party, "as
we have found throughout the State OF
New York this year. Men, as well as
women, have come TO see that it will
be an economy to give women the vote,
"A tremendous sum of money has al
ready been put into the suffrage cause
and the only way 70 make this money
pay is to make the cause for which II
was given a success. Suffrage has, in
this campaign, the support of con-
structiVe businessmen with vision"

Some Hope Still for
Wooden Ship Builders

In practice, however, 1t has oeen
found that wooden ships must De pulis
rather than manufactured. Each yara
must largely do all of the work ltsel,
which means that progress IS slower
than was expected and calls Tor more TL e
technical skill than was supposed. Inc
cemeteries hold most Of the men VINO
had this skill. ,.u,.
There is some hope for the builders
Of wooden ships in private orders. AS
the Shipping Board virtually has an
option on all the steel shipbullding
capacity Of the nation, present or pro.
spective, for the next two years ,hat
the navy is rot utilizing, the only
chance for the private would.be snip
owners Is to build wooden ships. Al,
ready lot of them are building, ana
as they are mostly under 1900 tons
they are not being Communicated: pc
tween these ships and those OF the
board. it is safe to conclude that the
American tramp ship of the after-war
period will be chiefly a wooden ship. -.
So dies the shouting and the tumuit
Of the wooden snip wrangie.

Canvass Shows Suffrage Is Strong in
Cities and Weak in Rural Districts

From survey made before the Pres

seems 10 be strongest in the cities OF

suffrage tendency; Albany IS said TO
be gaining strength daily for the
amendment; Poughkeepsie prophets
expect a large vote for suffrage, and q
slightly larger one against II. From

"IASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Our sys-
w tenn Of balanced government
which consists of creating CO.
equal divisions Of governmental au-
thority and then letting the "co-equals'
fight II out on the cheerful theory that
the httest will survive, worked out In
the Shipping Board all right-in time.
General Goethals fought against
wooden ships and Chairman Denman
fought against steel ships-though, OF
course, each explained that he was
doing nothing of the kind. The result
was that we got some wooden ships'
but got the wood mania scotched be-
fore it attained such a point that the
chief problem Of American harbors ior
the next twenty years after the war
would be to find an anchoring place
for the wooden ships Of the volunteer
fleet of the great war.
On the other hand, we finally de-
cided in favor Of steel ships In the
main. but did not let that decision as
to the main programme keep US from
altogether forgetting that In world
war you do not always take the best
but sometimes must grab the quickest
The decision tediously and acrimoni-
ously arrived at by verbal combat was
that. while the shipyards that were to
build steel ships were getting ready TO
build them, it might not be bad idea
to build wooden ships In the meantime
seeing that We had more available snip

for getting 1t ready than any otner

than ordinary calibre. Former Senator
Elihu Root has appeared against it,
and William Jennings Bryan, Mrs. Car

If careful organization counts for
anything, the suffragists have won in
this section. There Is not hamlet in
the fifth district Of the state organiza-
ton. which includes the counties Of
Oneida, Herkimer, Lewis, Fulton and
Hamilton, that has not been organized.
The suffragists have made the most

whether that carries weight. There

Rochester Situation Pulling
ROCHESTER, Oct. 26.--The situa-

about 500 to the total against suffrage.
Mrs. Henry c. Danforth, wife Of the

that the proposition is bound TO re

that the vote against suffrage will be

Since President Wilson delivered his
suffrage message to the voters Of New
York State, suffrage leaders here no
longer hope for victory on November
6-they are sure of IT,
Already the message has been flashed
10 the remotest corner of the state, and
The suTragists feel confident that the
voters can do nothing else but support
the President, by voting for the amend
ment as a war measure, as he urged.
The 1917 campaign has been waged,
as Mrs. Whitehouse told the President,
Thursday, under the most conflicting
and confusing circumstances" but even
the difficulties that the war, the pick
cts and other conditions have brought
about, are greatly lightened, say the
sufragists, by the Presidents forceful
support.

Lumbermen Failed
To Grasp Opportunity

There were great possibilities IN tne
wooden ship vision, but they were oniy
partially realized. The lumber inter
ests OF the country did not rally TO
wooden ships as the steel interests did
to steel ships. Why they did not Is
mystery. They needed business their
mills were running only part time II
at all. LAUNDERING Is one OF the mos.
progressive Of the big industries OF
America, and the adversities OF recent
concrete and steel years have made the
big lumbermen very keen and aggres-
sive.
One speech from General Goethals
wos sufficient to rally the steel men
around his flag. The lumbermen did a
lot of talking. but never rallied to any
noticeable extent to Mr.. Denman's call.
The great steel corporations took up
shipbu;lding as their own particular
problem. That is what the iumbermen
should have done with the wooden snip
programme, both for their own Denent
and the nations good. =,
But while the Garys and the Farrells
and the Schwabs, after temporary
comatose condition, woke up and mobil-
lied to build steel ships, the Weyer-
haeusers, the Walkers, the Smiths ana
the Scanlons never took hold Of the
wooden ship opportunity.
Delay Attributed to
Apathy of Lumbermen
Thus, with some notable exceptions,
the building of wooden ships was lett
10 new and weak concerns. The Dusl-
ness became the prey of the Spectator
and the citizen with more ambition
than capital-may his number never
grow less! While pretty much all the
steel yards were directly or indirectly
linked up with the great producers OIL
steel. the builders of wooden shlps
were not directly related to or assocl-
ated with the producers or TIMBER >.
The Bethlehem Steel Company d.
rectlv owns four or five Of the greatest
Yards in America, The United States
Steel Corporation is building one great
ward of it's own and is closely related
to others, and so on. HAD the Dig
lumbermen of America thrown tnelr
energy and magnificent equipment INTO
the building of wooden ships we should
not be waiting till January, even AFTER
ali the DELAY at headquarters, ior

crept down to the beach and launched
her canoe. It was matter Of several
miles, but she made nothing of the
cruise to the beach beneath the cliffs
crowned by her summer home.
Effecting landing there as secret
as her launching had been, she dragged
the canoe up on the sands, hugged the
cloak more tightly round her, and with
a delicious shiver Of daring sought the
private flight Of steps that zlgzagged
up to the grounds OF the Charming cot
tage.
At the top Patria sought the friendly
shelter Of the nearest shadows, then
made furtlve way towards the house,
There were on the ground q dozen
coigns of vantage known to Patria
whence spying would be practicable
and safe.
In the nearest of these, close by the
wide veranda, she resigned herself to
wait with far less composure than her
motionless pose might have been taken
to indicate.
Even So her patience was not Sc
verely taxed. Within very few min
utes the light in one of the French
windows of the drawing-room was
twice eclipsed, as two people came
out and began slowly to pace the YER
anda, side by side-Elaine and the un-
speakable Juan de Lima!
Moonlight flooded the face and fig
ure Of the changeling with unearthly
brilliance. Patria could have cried out
in amaze, so extraordinary seemed the
vision she gazed upon.
De Lima wooed her after the manner
Of his kind, ardently, crudely, with
patent Intention. Inching closer, he es-
sayed to kiss her.
But Elaine would not suffer him.
That's as far as you'll go!" she told
him, in the choice of words that came
most naturally to her. "I'm going to
marry you-yes! Marrying you is part
of my contract with Huroki-I wish
to God it wasn't. I'll go through with
it because I agreed to, but-lay OFF me
whenever we're alone. Marriage is
one thing-kisses are something else
again!"
She swung brusquely back through
the window. With an imprecation in
his native tongue, the Mexican fol-
lowed.
Patria stepped back and sought
way round to a point whence she
might see through the windows. Taking
