Suffragists Allege
Fraud Us Employed
: In Opposing Ballot
(From Suffrage Headquarters, Hart
u, ford \,

(From Suffrage Headquarters, Hart
/ ford.),
! Connecticut suffragfsts are much
aroused over the new revelations of
fraud in the popular. elections on wo-
man suffrage amendments which
have been made as the result of a
careful investigation under the guild
ance sof Mrs. Gait, president Of the
National Woman Suffrage association.
These Investigations go to show that
1T is not enough to convert the NAL
ority Of the voters to bel1ef In
suffrage. Even with majority con-
verted in the present state of the laws
the minority can in most states sway
the election by fraudulent means and
wrest the victory from the suffrag1sts.
, There seem to be three principal
ways of swinging an election against
woman suffrage. The first which was
used in Michigan, as openly charged
by Ex-Governor Osborne, and which
there is strong reason for believe1ng
was used also in Iowa, Is. to count
out the suffragists-to falsify the
count after the votes have been cast.
To do this 1t is necessary to have
corrupt election officials, and the
check to this is to have proper
watchers and to be able to order a
recount Neither Of these plans are
possible in many Of the states. The
suffragists cannot have watchers be-
cause they are not a party of voters;
and in many states there are no laws
by which a. recount can be ordered.
The second method is to bring in
illegal voters-to colonize the dis
trict or to use PRESERVATION; and the
third is to buy the votes Of the legal
voters and SO obtain a majority
against woman suffrage. In most
states the only remedy for the women
is to bring action against the individ-
ual who has received a bride or voted
fraudu1ently. If the evidence Is SUI
ficient for conviction the individual
may be punished, but the election
stands and it does the suffragists no
good to go-to all the expense of col
lecting. evidence against an individual.
Their amendment is lost and no
amount of punishment of Offenders
can getiit back for them.
Under these circumstances it is no
wonder that Connecticut Suffragists
are hoping that the men of Connecti-
cut will arouse themselves and put an
end to these possibilities Of minority
government. Election frauds are a
subversion of democracy, but only
by the passage Of good corrupt prac-
tees acts can election frauds be pre-
vented. The danger and uselessness
of fraud must be made obvious to
would-be offenders. With an honest
election and the will Of the majority
allowed to tell, the chances of the
suffragfsts are enormously improved.

German Paper Calls
Wilson a Meddler. In
Affairs of Nations

Berne, Switzerland, Jan. 26.-
Great reserve was maintained in Of
fetal circles in regard to President
Wilson's speech, which came as a
complete surprise following his first
note to which the federal council
gave its support. The Germanophile
newspaper, Zurich Post, welcomes
President Wilson's views on the free
dom of the seas, but rejects his con-
ception Of the question of national
tiles and territorial settlement. It
holds that these questions must be
left to the belligerents.
The Zurich Machrichten, also Ger
manophile, scores the President for
what it terms meddling in affairs in
which he has no concern.
The Basler Nachrichten says the
tone of the speech suggests the pro-
phesies of Isiah. Nevertheless it con-
siders that President Wilson's dec
larations amount to an engagement
and that they imply American inter-
vention in the event of the neutrality
of another country being violated.

the great furniture industry of the
future. The University of Michigan,
which had been planned by the gov
eminent and people in 1917, was for
mally launched in 1887, and located
at Ann Arbor, although it was not
opened for the reception of students
until 1912. The capital of the new
state was soon removed from Detroit
to the village of Lansing.
Michigan was for the most part a
wilderness when it was admitted to
statehood, and it's swampy forests
were given over to wolves and other
beasts. The tide of immigration was
then beginning, however, and So
great was the rush that when Harriet
Martineau visited Detroit in 1887
she found it almost impossible to Sc
cure entertainment. The distinguish
ed visitor was not deferred by this
from paying a high compliment to
Detroit people. "The society Of De-

troit." she wrote, 'is very choice; and
as it has continued so since the old
colonial days, through the territorial
days, there is reason to think that it
will become, under it's new dignities,
a more and more desirable place of
residence" The present population
of the Michigan metropolis, about
three-quarters of million, justifies
her prophetic gift.
In the year of statehood Michigan
had one short railway, and two others
were in course of construction, but
for the most part travellers had to
choose between stage-coach and boat
in travelling. Owing to the terrible

Travelled by water when possible. In

poration of Michigan as a part of the
infant republic, being included in the
Northwestern Territory. For time
Michigan formed the single county of
Wayne, but in 1900 a part of it was
included in Indiana Territory. Michi-
gan Territory was created in 1905.
Early in the war of 1912 the British
flag was again hoisted over Detroit,
but it was retaken by the Americans
in 1913. In 1886 Wisconsin Territory
was formed out of part of Michigan,
and the following year Michigan, in
Guiding the upper peninsula, was adj
mitted to statehood.
At that time Michigan had a pop
ulation of 175,025, while Detroit's
population was only about 5000. Sag

fifty frame houses, while Bay City
had only a few log huts. Grand Rap
