Detroit

\ TIcHiGAN women are evincing a
MI lively interest in both the national
and State campaigns, indicated
by the numbers of them who are registering
to vote and their attendance at political
meetings. OF the 100000 voters in Detroit
more than 40 per cent are women
A great part of the registration on the
part of women Is attributed to the efforts
of leaders among the club women of the
State and the various women's political or
CARNATIONS. In Detroit there are several
women's political clubs representing both
parties. They are all banded together under
the head OF the Women Voters League and
have made n house to house canvass in an
effort to get women voters out to register.
The Women's Republican Club and leagues
together with several other organizations OF
women, are supporting Senator Harding and
are working hard for mis- election The Re
publican women have arranged and held
more political meetings in Detroit, Saginaw
and Grand Rapids than even the regular or
CARNATIONS and committees headed by the
men.
The women OF the Republican State Cen
trail Committee have opened headquarters OF
their own separate from the meme branch
and are conducting their own campaign in

Edgar Allen and Miss Bina West
The women members of the ways and

Considerable interest is being added to
the campaign throughout the State by the

cipally by the new records that have been
established at the polls during registration
days and by the many unique features being
held by the women in their campaigning

The Republican women. under the leader

chairman, have a list of $4,000 women in
Illinois, every one of whom is actively at
work for the ticket. Every precinct in the
state is represented in this army, which was
formed early in the summer after an ex-
haustive survey of the State, and through a
poll of women voters.
The Democrats arc also organized to

Women leaders were disappointed at the
registration. The only rift in the almost
solid Republican ranks is an opposition to
Senator Penrose. who is up for reelection
In fact, that seems stronger than their con-

Cox, and this opposition is Statewide. Women
leaders assert 1t is an absolute protest

his opposition to women's suffrage, but 1t is
not believed 1t will crystalline with sufficient
strength to prevent the senior Senator's re-

An added factor, according to the leaders
is that many women will vote the straight

Cincinnati

A FTER the adoption by the thirty sixth
~ State of the suffrage amendment
thereby putting It into full force and
effect, beginning with the Presidential cleo
ton of 1920, political wiseacres in Ohio pre-
dcted that the new responsibilities accorded
women would make little difference so far
as Cincinnati was concerned, as few of them
would take advantage of the opportunity to
exercise the right of suffrage. Practically
none would be found taking any part i'm
campaign activities, IL was added. This
prophecy was based on the reputation OF
Cincinnati for conservativeness, a heritage
OF its large German population.
How far wrong these prophets were is
shown by the fact that at almost every po-
lftical meeting held here thus far in the
campaign there have been almost as many
women In attendance as men, while i'm many
cases women have been the spellbinders
and by the fact that women have hocked
TO the polls TO register by the thousands.

among the men.
Both major parties have encouraged the
participation of women in the campaign. an
opportunity that has been seized upon by
women Of both political persuasions. The
Democratic women seem TO be bit moro
active and aggressive than the Republican
women. They have formed ward organiza-
tons with women leaders, and hold nightly
meetings with both men and women speak
ers. The Republican women also are organ
lied. but not so infinitely.
The Board Of Education has opened the
schoolhouses for political rallies but has
requested that the meetings held there be

women In voting, and that craftsmanship be

IT. HE women of Georgia will not vote
in the November election, as they
were prevented from registering by
strict law, which requires the closing of the
tion. Under this law the lists we're closed
before the proclamation OF the ratification
of the Suffrage Amendment, and no enabling
act was passed by the Legislature to provide
for the registration Of the women.
The women, as a rule. do not appear to be
distressed by this. AS a matter of fact. the
great majority Of the white women of the
State are opposed TO equal suffrage. The
negro women, however, have shown some
desire TO vote.

Glendy y. Arnold, chairman OF the Board

Voters In the rural districts Of Missouri arc

representation on committees and party
councils.
The Democratic women started their po-

New York

Il has been estimated that the number of
women entitled to vote in the State of
Il New York is 3o33,273, the number of
men 3,1ss,772. These calculations are based
on census figures.
Political leaders calculate that not much
more than half the number of persons said
to be qualified to vote will register In other
words, something over 100000 will be the
total registration when the figures have been
compiled, in the opinion of leaders.

rolment figures for the coming year will not
be ready before january was: Republican

This will be the third year that women
have voted in New York State. In 1917 the
Republicans cast 100000 votes In 1918, the
first year of women at the polls. the Repub-
lican vote was about 100000 in the State
Last year the total Republican vote (the
total OF the vote on Assembly1nen) was
1,1560O0. 1t was estimated that two-thirds
as many women voted the Republican ticket
as men.
Being Organized Steadily.
The organization OF women has been going
on for practically three years in New York
state. The Republicans have perfected
wonderfully effective organization. The
Democratic women have been beset by dis
sension, resulting finally in Mrs. John Sher-
win Crosby. their leader, going over to the
Republican party. Miss Elisabeth Marbury
since September !, has been working hard
to build up an organization along the lines
of the Republican, but the time has been
too short
Mrs. Arthur l.. Livermore has formed a
woman's organization for the Republicans
which in all essential features is an exact
duplicate of the mems. Each county has
its own leader, who has a representative In
each election district. All through the state
campaign schools have been operated teach
and explaining the issues of the campaign.

The women hope to run their campaign
without calling on the men for financial
assistance. But the real organization is just
in the process of formation and it's efficiency

YX/HAT are the women going to do
wv in the coming election? Are they
going to vote as do their hus-
bands? Will they vote in a greater pro-
portion to those registered than do the
men? How are they organized? Are the
party lines as definitely defined as in other
Presidential years? Do the registration
figures thus far completed show that the
women's interest in the election is active
or merely cursory?
These are only a few of the many queS-
tons perplexing politicians of the old

s'Flattery Is like champagne
lightful while taking, but sickening
in its after effect" Thus does Norma
Talmadge, the bewitching little mo-
ton picture star, describe that gentle
art whose use has been in vogue ever
since man could speak and woman
would listen.
''Flattery has toppled thrones,
changed history, separated thousands
of happy couples, peopled the under
world and divided kingdoms con-
tinues Miss Talmage, Nor is it an
art exclusively used by mere man.
Women have used il with telling eff
feet as witness the willy Cleopatra

reverse Kipling's famous lines" The
female Of the species is more deadly
than the male"-a man capable of
saying pretty things in q pleasing way

any susceptible woman or CIR"
And it is this same theme that

Bicycle Riders Must
Use More Precauion

Complaints have been made that
people should not be permitted to
ride upon the sidewalks Of the city
and several slight accidents have Oc-
Cured.
There is a city ordinance against
riding bicycles on the sidewalks, but
it has never been enforced, due to
the fact that q large number Of la
boring men ride bicycles to work and
the condition Of the streets makes it
hard on bicycle riders.
Under existing conditions it would
behoove riders Of bicycles to be more
careful. Unless they do exercise
more precautiOn some citizen win ask
that the ordinance be enforced.
The running at large Of all kinds
of stock is more dangerous than the
riding Of bicycles, yet no action has
been taken toward keeping live stock
from using the sidewalks.
The Enterprise would caution BIZ
cycle riders to dismount when meet

when turning corners.
In a few months Bogalusa will have
good streets and then bicycle riders
can use them. Meanwhile something
should be done to eliminate the stock
