WILL ALL WOMEN VOTE THIS FALL?

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE HANGS ON FRAZZLED EDGE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT Monday the legislature of New Jersey ratified the amendment to the national constitution giving to Tvomen the right of suffrage: The measure was carried by the house of representatives of New Jersey by a vote of 34 to 24. In the senate the vote stood 18 to 2. The Democrats conducted a filibuster for several hours, hoping to defeat ratification . New Jersey is the twenty-ninth state to ratify the suffrage amendment. Seven more states are needed and action must be had soon if the amendment is ratified in time to give all women a right to the ballot this fall. The states ratifying the amendment to date are Arkansas, California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Kansas, Maine, Masachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hamshire, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, South Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Kentucky and New Jersey. Four Democratic southern states have rejected the amendment. They are Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Virginia. All seceeded from the Union. Special sessions of the legislatures of Idaho, New Mexico, Ari--zona and Oklahoma have been called to meeting during February to ratify the amendment. If these four states ratify the amendment, three states will still be needed. The three states must come from thp following list: Vermont, Connecticut, Delaware, West Virginia and Washington, which are Republican states, or from the four Democratic states of North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee and Louisiana. The women 'have little hope and, much less faith in the four Democratic states. The governor of Connecticut has thus far refused to call a special session of the legislature of that state. The governor of Vermont has also failed to call the legislature of that state in special session. It is understood that the Republican governor will call the Delaware legislature in a short time. The governor of West Virginia is a Democrat and refuses to call the legislature of his state, which is Republican. Washington can be depended upon any time when needed to make the thirtysixth state for ratification. The women of this nation are sure not to hold the Democrats blameless in their opposition or indifference in this important issue. They will dnstinctly turn to the great constructive Republican party, which was born in' the cradle of liberty and nurtured by freedom, progress and prosperity.

BLODGETT FINDS WOOD SENTIMENT

INDIANAPOLIS NEWS CORRESPONDENT VISITS THIS CITY. W. H. Blodgett of Indianapolis was in this city Tuesday and while here found a very decided tendency among the Republican voters in favor of General Leonard Wood for president - . - ■ ' Mr. Blodgett came here from Delphi and reported that that city is also strongly in favor of General Wood. He believes thpt if the primaries were held at this time that General Wood would win Indiana in a walk. He had been in a large number of the cities of the state and everywhere Wood was a favorite with the Republicans. No man before the public today is so eminently qualified for the high office of president of this great nation as General Leonard Wood. His administrative duties in Cuba and the Philippines and his intimate connection and association with the affairs of the nation both in and out of the army and his matchless ability make him the one man of the nation who should be trusted as the standard beater of the Republican party and the leader of this nation out of the wreck and ruin into which it has been plunged by the Democratic mal-admfnistra-tion. General W ood has the esteem and will have the united support of the boys who wore the khaki. Soldiers of the great war are everywhere circulating and signing petitions in favor of this great statesman and general. Ts nominated he will lead the Republican party to success and his vdcrtiory will lead the nation back to normal conditions as they were under the great McKinley and the marvelous Roosevelt.
