Suffrage Marches On
(From the New York Tribune)

ltfOn IH6 ISM l. VI LAADNAAS/
If is still no easy road of which
women win the franchise through
state action, but the advance is sure,
If slow. Michigan fell into line ac-
cording to the late returns, thereby
establishing an important and signi-
ficant gain in much disputed terri
tory. Twice her voters defeated suf-
frage at the polls. Yet such was the
underlying drift in its favor that the
Legislature last year granted women
Presidential suffrage; and this
years popular acceptance of gen.
eral suffrage for women upholds the
Judgment of the legislators.
Here in New York the signifio ant
fact was the calm acceptance of suf-
frage by women generally, without
confusion, without sex cleavage,
without shock by anybody. Women
voted as a matter of course. The
great revolution that was to over
turn q civilization arrived and every
body took it with calmness and a
general chorus of approval.
After such a demonstration of the
demand for suffrage and its arrival
among the established policies OF
progressive America, there can be
little doubt of the Senate's course
One more vote has already been won
to suffrage. The other must surely
fall soon. To think otherwise would
be to deny to the Senate not only an
open mind but even open eyes.
