"Justice of American Manhood"
Counted I'pon by Leaders to Give
Them Success at Polls.
SPOKANE. Wash.. Oct . (Special.)
As November a approaches, when the
votes will be cast declaring for or
against equal suffrage In the State of
Washington, there is a xeeung in me
air of a crisis.
With just five weeks ahead of them
the local suffragists are working day
and night in endeavor to reach every
voter In the city, either personally or
with literature, making an appeal lor
the amendment.
Mrs. May Arkwrlght, president of the
Spokane Kauai Suffrage Club, smiled
optimistically when asked what she
thought about the situation and wheth
er or not the amendment would carry.
"I have all the faith in the world."
said Mrs. Hutton. "that the votes to
women will be granted.
"On what do you base your belief?"
was asked.
"In the justice of American r-m-
hood." replied Mrs. Hutton. "and the
fact that there Is no logical argument
against the cause."
"Everything looks favorable, said
Mrs. Philip P. Stalford, who has Just
returned from a campaign through
Western Washington. "Men as a whole
throughout the state are in favor of
suffrage, especially the labor unions,
and we feel very confident that we will
succeed. There is no ontagonism to
fear, but the ballot Is so marked that
through Ignorance we may lose many
votes.
"I believe we are going to win." said
Mrs. Rose Moore, one of the most en
thusiastic workers in the cause of suf
frage. "I feel quite encouraged and I
believe there -are very few men. when
they see Intelligent womn working for
hlr own cause, wao will not be willing
to grant the privilege asked. The pleas
of the wives, mothers and daughters
will be granted."
