body seems to have any good bunch on
when the supreme court Will hand down
a decision in the woman suffrage case.
but the impression prevails that it may
come some time next week. probably
Tuesday. One Of the elements of un-
certainty that has entered the minds of
those who are Interested centers around
the announcement that the court has
taken a week or so off during which
time the judges may consider cases be-
fore the court. This Is a usual thing at
this time OF the year. Some people got
the idea from This fact that the court
had taken e recess or vacation, and that
It would not r%econvene until October so,
and that this meant that there could
not be any decision in the suffrage case
before that date.
Such is not the case. however. The
supreme court can hand down decisions
any day during a term. Therefore, the
suffrage decision may come at any time
There is much anxiety over the situa-
ton among the interested persons. be-
cause of the approach of city election
day in this city. Suffragists say that
if a decision is handed down on October
so. just one week before the city cleo
ton, il would be difficult for the city
election commissioners to make ar
to let the women vote, in
case the decision was favorable to the
women.
However. there does not seem to be
much danger Of any lack of time. Even
If the decision was favorable to the
women and the law was held constitu-
tionaI /. is believed that all necessary
ballots and other election supplies could
be prepared in plenty of time for the
election
No one IA undertaking to forecast the
decision, for nc one knows what the
judges think about the case. There Ia.
Of course. a possibility or a tie vote on
