NEW YORK SUFFRAGIST
LEADERS SEE VICTORY
Declare Wartime Service Has
Won Franchise for Women
of State

SARATOGA SPRINGS, n. Y, Aug. 80.
War work has won the battle for the bal
lot of New York state. This was the unan-
imous opinion of the leaders of the women
suffrage party as they met today to con-
clude their great prediction campaign
conference.
Backed by the unqualified Endorsements
of President Wilson, Governor Whitman,
Mayor Mitchell and both of the great politi-
cal parties, the suffragists were more con-
fident than ever that this is victory" year.
But the impressive record of wartime
achievement piled up in reports from various
section chairmen is the source of most sat
isfacton to the leaders, as they believe that
this work has demonstrated to the voters
the advisability of entrusting the ballot to
the women of the State.
The State committee went into executive
session this morning to complete the cam
paign plans that will be presented to the
conference this afternoon. In order that
the plans to secure the soldier vote this
fall may be perfected. Mrs. Tlora Med.
Denison, president Of the Canadian Ma
tional Suffrage Club, has been called into
the committees council. She told them to-
day of the manner in which Canadian men
in the trenches were won for suffrage. Mrs,
Denison has three sons in France.
Wide difference Of opinion exists as 20
what should be done regarding the actions
of the militants at Washington The leaders
here in conference are a unit In denouncng
such methods. However, some oppose even
their recognition by a resolution of protest
Others favor an out-and-out denunclation
of the picketers and still others would de-
nounce the militant methods but recognize
the sincerity of the misguided" women who
compose the Congressional Union.
