ARRANGEMENTS
|, MADE TO HANDLE
CROWD AT WAR TRAIN
Police Department Makes Arrange
ments TO Handle Record Crowd SO
That Every One May See All
There Is to BE Seen on
War Trophy Train.

Chief of Police Harry A. Ort yester-
day had a conference with Chairman
James N Kehoe and members of the
local Liberty Loan Committee with
reference to handling the great crowd
of people that will be in Maysville
Friday night to visit the great War
Trophy train at the l.. & N depot.
The committee had reported to the
police department that they were GER
tain there would be a record break
ing crowd and asked that the police
department study the situation at the
depot and adopt some traffic rules and
line of inspection so there will be no
congestion and so that no accidents
can happen.
After looking over the situation
carefully Chief Ort decided to have
the Trophy Train run down on the L.
G. N. siding next to Third street. A
line of inspection will then be formed
at the L. & N. depot on the North side
of the train and will move East turn
ing at the end of the train and NOV
ing back west over Third street. The
entrance to the inspection line will
be up Bridge street and after in
specting it the crowd will move down
Third street. Police will be so sta
tionad nc IN keen the neODle in line
and traffic officers will so stop traf-
fc on these two streets that the
crowd of people will not be in dan
ger.
Talks by the speakers will be made
from the train so that everyone in
the crowd can hear them and guards
will explain the trophies which will
not be labeled

WAR SHOWS ITSELF
IN SMALL REGIS
TRATION HERE
Registration In the City Of Maysyllle
shows Falling on Of More Than
2OO-Absent Voters May Vote
Under New Law.

Registration held yesterday in
this city in many a day. There was
a total of 1864 registered in all of the
six wards of the city which shows
falling off of more than 200 on the
first registration last year
Usually on the first days registra-
tion there are near 1900 men to list
themselves as voters while the spe
cial registration held just prior to the
election brings the grand total up to
near the 1900 mark.
Both Democrats and Republicans
see heavy loss in the city that can
not be made up. This loss is due al
most entirely to the absence of voters
now in Khaki but the provisions of the
new state law permits these soldiers
to vote as absent voters" 1t is un-
derstood that leaders in both parties
in Maysville are making arrange
ments to have as many of their alb
sent voters cast their ballot in the
November election as possible.
Arrangements are now being made
to send out the legal blanks upon
which the absent voter is allowed to
show his preference in the election
and which will be counted just as a
ballot marked if the voter were at
home.
The total figures for yesterdays
registration show a total registration
of 1864. $40 Democrats, 466 Republi-
cans, 43 Independents, 6 non commital
and prohibitionist.
The registration in the various
wards was as follows:

indicate that the Americans are thru.
On the contrary, they have just be-

EQUAL SUFFRAGE A
VITAL WAR ISSUE
President Wilson in a Remark
able Address Proves 1t.

President Wilson, in a memorable
address delivered before the Senate
on September 80, established the fact
that equal suffrage is a war measure,
vital to the winning OF the war. The
President said in part:
1--WE shall not only be distrusted,
but shall deserve TO be distrusted IL
we do not enfranchise them with the
fullest possible Acknowledgement, as it
is now certain that the other great free
nations will enfranchise them.
II tell you plainly as the commander
in-chief of our armies and Of the gal
liant men in our fleets, as the present
spokesman of this people in our deal
ings with the men and women through
out the world who are now our part
ners, as the responsible head of a
great government which stands and is
questioned day by day as to its pur-
poses, its principles, its hopes, whether
they be serviceable to men everywhere
or only to itself and who must himself
answer these questions or be shamed
as the guide and director of forces
caught in the grip Of war and by the
same token in need of every material
and spiritual resource this great ma
ton possesses tell you plainly that
this measure which urge upon you is
vital to the winning of the war and to
the energies alike of preparation and
of battle"

M|CH|GAN'S CHOICE
Legislature of Michigan Selected
State Constitutional Amend
ment as Method of Enfran-
chising Michigan Women.
TO BE VOTED ON NOVEMBER 5.
On That Day the Voters Will Have an
Opportunity to Open Wide the
"State Door" for Michigan
Women.

There are two ways by which the
women of Michigan may be enfran-
chised-One is by the so-called 'fed.
eral route" the other by the "state
route" The first means that the two
houses Of Congress by a twothirds
majority in each house must pass a
resolution to submit to the Legisla-
lures of the AZ states a federal suf-
frage amendment to the Constitution
Of the United States. When this has
been passed the amendment must 60
to the 4S state legislatures to be voted
on. If SO (three-fourths) of the legis-
latures vote yes ii becomes law, ma
tion-wide suffrage for women becomes
fact, and,the present ridiculous dis
examinations by reason of which wo-
man can lose her vote by stepping
across a state boundary fall into the
discard.
That is one way by which Michigan
women may be enfranchised. 1t SEEM
ed to Michigan women as to other wo-
men, that it was the right way, the
short way, the economical way. But n
small minority of United States sena-
tors GA against 62) have blocked that
way. Over and over the opposition to
the federal suffrage amendment point
ed out in that memorable suffrage de-
bate in the Senate which closed Octo-
Der l that it was not woman suffrage
per sc that was being opposed; it was
the manner of getting tit was the
federal route.
women can get the suffrage by the
state route" said the opposition
"Let them do it, Let each state take
care of its own women. The state
door is open. Let the women enter
that way, not this"
No one other point was used so Of
ten and SO insistently as an argument
against the federal suffrage amend
ment. On no other did the opponents
Gently. Speaking of no other, did
their faces so unanswerably assume
the expression Of the cat that ate the
canary.
THE states can and will give wo-
men the suffrage. Let the women of
each state go to that state. The door
is open"-thus the men who shut the
federal door in the faces of American
women
Now come the women of Michigan
to their own state seeking that open
door to which they have been so cava-
lierly waved.
Michigan women have this advan-
tage-their case goes to court the
great court of public opinion, on No
vember 5. At least it will be an adj
vantage If Michigan men make the
most of the opportunity to give Michi-
gan women a square deal
Michigan men can open wide the
door of Michigan.
II can vote yes on woman suf-
frage ON November 5.
They can make America 100 per
cent. democratic so far as Michigan is
concerned.

WAR TRAINING INSTITUTE u
TO AID REGISTERED MEN
Solves Problem For Many Who Must Observe the Work
or Fight Order of Government.

others have responsible positions in
the war industries, or are doing valiant
work behind the fighting forces over
seas.
When the government officials at
Washington realize the extent to which
the War Industrial Training Institute
had developed its men, it urged that
the work be enlarged, so as to include
the men who came under the draft Of
September IL, which includes 81 men
from 10 years to As years of agS
Many of these men will not be in
physical condition for trench work, or
for fighting of any kind. For those
men, who may become important fac
tors in the war essential industries, the
government urges that special mechan-
ical training be provided. This the
Institute is prepared to do and has
arranged classes which will fit each
individual need. Registered men must
work or fight. The government de-
mands one or the other.
In addition to this educational advan-
tage, the Grand Rapids manufacturers
nave pIOIIllScu W give employment W
every man who enters the Institute
work. This will give out of the city
men an opportunity to come to Grand
Rapids, enter employment as soon as
they arrive, and take up night study
at the Institute.
Men who will be called into the mil
itary service are made ready for that
transition from civil life to military
life. They are given thorough train
ing so that when they enter the mill
tary service they rapidly win promo
ton.
Verne H. Smiley is director of the
Institute and Roland De Witt is asso-
ciate director. They are anxious to
inform registered men of the work of
the Institute and invite correspond
ence. A letter addressed to the War
Industrial Training Institute, 207 Y.
M. C. A. building, will receive imme-
date answer.
