"President New Jersey Woman Suffrage
Association."
The suffragists of New Jersey, com
pleting the wlndup of one of the most
remarkable campaigns ever conducted lu
any State, confidently expect their enemy
and zeal to be crowned with n victory
next Tuesday that will bo am thing but
of tho "skln-of-the-teeth" variety.
Reckoning up the results of a minute
r-rv runvnss of the State. Mrs. Lillian
F. Feickert. president of the Woman Suf
frage Association, declared that Now Jer
sey would go on record for votes for
women with a 25,000 majority nnd that 13
in mi- .1 counties would como out
strongly for the amendment
She, qualified this statement, however,
by asserting that well-denned rumors of
the Intention of the Interests opposed to
suffrago to beat the amendment "by
hook or crook" would make It necessary
for tho suffragists to use every precau
tion to get a. square deal at the polls
on October 19.i
Cameras, to detect repeaters, will ho
used by watchers at the polls, after the
cxumplo set by the women of Terro Hauto
In securing evidence of fraudulent voting.
Detectives will be placed In all of tho
suspected districts and the watchers tho
first time that watchers nt New Jersey
polls have ever Included women have
ben Instructed to Keep a shnrp lookout
for any business that may Interfere with
honest ballot-casting.
"It will be particularly easy." said Mrs.
Feickert, "to perpetrate frauds at this
election because It Is posstblo for a man
to register and vote on the same day. This
makes colonizing difficult to detect, and
wo have every reason to believe that tho
Interests against us will not hesitate to
bring large crews of men from the dis
reputable lodging houses of New York
and Philadelphia, who are willing to be
Paid for this sort of thing, Into New Jer
sey Just for election day and use them to
defeat us.
"We shall bo ready for them, and no
stono Is going to be left unturned to have
this an honest election. Our men's league
will bo on duty all day, supplemented by
the women watchers, and Just as soon as
repeating or colonizing la detected there
will be arrests.
"I have It from a reliable source," Mrs.
Feickert continued, "that the liquor men
of Passaic met In Paterson yesterday
and decided to take strenuous action
against us not only In these few days
preceding the election, but also to have
workers stationed near the polls to elec
tioneer against the amendment. But we
are going to win. despite this opposition."
According to Mrs. Fclckert the only
man of power to come out In the open
and express active opposition to the cause
has been "Boss Jim" R. Nugent, of Essex
County. The fact that Essex controls vir
tually one-fifth of the vote of the State
makes this opposition serious, the suffrage
leader realizes, but It Is thought that
President Wilson's unequivocal statement
declaring In favor of suffrage and the an
nouncement of his Intention to vote "yes"
on the amendment 'will moro than over
balance Nugent's Influence
The action of the clergymen of all io
nomlnattons of Newark In organizing a
church committee on suffrage, which
pledged itself to hold meetings in
churches and to talk suffrage principles
from tho pulpits, has dellshted tho suffra
gists and ts expected to go a long way 'n
offsetting the Nugent influence In his own
atrongho'd.
Then, too, the Invasion of Jersey In the
lasi dava of the enmpaign by speakers nt
national reputo who have rallied to the
cause la expected to have a definite ef
fect. On Suturdaj night Senators Borah,
of Idaho, and Hughes, of New Jersey,
will take up the cudgels for the women lit
Paterson, while William Jennings Bryan
will hold forth In Newark. The bom
bardment of Nugent territory will be con
tinued on Sunday night, when Senator
JIobch E. C upp, of Minnesota, and Lieu
tenant Gotcrnor Moigau. of Kansas, take
the ;itump In Newark. Itabbl Stephen 3.
Wire will speak lu the live Oranges.
On Monday night the campaign will bo
terminated with six sectional parades
that will embrace tho entire State. They

a very definite Idea of tho way they ought

Prominent Republicans of Cnmden dis
agree Kh the auff racists as to the out
come of the election. A few of them ex
pressed the belief that the suffrage
amendment would be defeated by 10,000
votes.
Chairman Harry Reeves, of the Repub
lican County Executive Committee, said
the situation was Indefinite, and that he
did not see any great sentiment In favor
of giving women the right to vote.
Statistics collected by Mrs. Lulu Read,
president of the Camden Anti-Suffrage
League, warrant the belief, she said, that
woman suffrage will be defeated Iti New
Jersey by a most satisfactory majority.
Bhe declared that nine out of ten men
nnd women aro opposed to woman suf
frage. Attorney Samuel T. French, chairman
of the Democratic County Executive Com
mittee, said that the better sentiment was
In favor of women voting, because of the
attitude of the liquor Interests, nnd he ex
pressed tho belief that the suffrage
amendment would win,
SHORE OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Atlantic County Expected to Indorse
Suffrage Amendment
ATLANTIC CITT. Oct, 18. - Suffrage
leaders today. In tho continued absence
of any orders from the Republican city
machine to turn In against tho proposi
tion, are confident the cause will win In
Atlantic City nnd county next Tuesdny.
The activity of the sufTrnge forces Is
growing more strenuous nnd street-corner
meetings nnd a houso-to-house can
vass of the town arc In progress.
"The outlook has Improved tremen
dously during the Inst week," declared
Miss Lulu Hubbard Marvel, head of the
Suffrage league, who hns lined up many
of the leading women of the shore for
tho cause nnd silenced opposition. The
suffragists are counting upon the whole
of the church vote, all of the labor vote
and half of the organization voto, with
substantial help from the army of colored
voters.
Ocean County, It Is said, probably will
go against the "cause," but the dlfferencn
will ho small cither way. Church and
clubwomen havo been very nctlvc nt
Lakewood and Toms River, the two prin
cipal voting centres In the county, but
outstdo of these places the only agitation
has been done by farmers and fishermen's
wives to Influence the Independent vote.
BUSY CAMPAIGN IN MERCER
Hunterdon and Somerset Counties
Favor "Votes for Women"
TRENTON, N. J., Oct. 1G.-In Mercer
County the suffrage campaign which nns
been bitterly wnged on both sides, Is
rapidly nearlng a close. Suffragists and
"nntls" here are each contending that
the county nnd State will support them
at next Tuesday's election. The sup
port of the suffrage cause In Mercer
County bv such men ns Prosecutor Mar
tin P. Devlin and City Clerk Frank
Thompson, as well as by a number of
higher-up politicians, H said by the suf
fragists to Insure their victory.
On the other hand, the "antls" nre
particularly active. Their most Import
ant leaders aro members of the upper so
cial set. Mrs. E. Yarde Breese. presi
dent of the New Jersey Association Op
posed to Woman Suffrage, and Mrs. O,
D. Ollphant, two young society matrons,
ns well as Mrs. Clark Fisher Andrew,
the famous woman anvil manufacturer of
this city, have led the opposition In Mer
cer County. From a careful review of
the situation at this time, the proposed
amendment for "votes for women," It Is
believed, will be defeated In Mercer.
Hunterdon and Somerset Counties, It Is
believed, will favor the proposed amend
ment. Tho campaigns have not been so
strong in these counties. In Middlesex
and Monmouth Counties, however, dep
Interest has been taken In the question
by both sides. The advantage so far
seems to be with the "antls" In these
two counties.
WILL WIN IN BURLINGTON
Sweeping Victory for Suffrage
Amendment in County Predicted
BURLINOTON, N. J.. Oct. 16. Woman
suffrage will carry Burlington County by
a substantial majority. This Is the pre
diction of leaders of all political parties
after a survey of the situation during
the closing week of the campaign.
The women themselves frankly admit
that they are not yet sufficiently schooled
In predicting results to attempt any fore
cast of the vote they will roll up next
Tuesday,
With all Burlington granges pledged
for suffrage, the amendment will have
easy sailing In the rural districts which
malic up a big part of the county. The
ivumM hnvi, rnndllrterl a Htrenumm com.
! palgn In tho big towns and cities, but
the Interest of the malo population has
l not been as apparent as they should have
1 liked it to be. Some politicians say this
1 npparent lack of Interest is due to the
I absence of n contest, as the "antls" have
not entered the county. Others say that
men Imve made up their minds as to how
they will vote from reading the news
papers and periodicals, and that the
women need not fear the result.
The only direct campaign against the
amendment Is being waged by the liquor
i dealors, and us their work Is by under-
ground methods nnd they have a big
local option campaign on their hands
for the general election In November,
their power at this time is doubtful.
HOPEFUL FOR AMENDMENT
"Votes for Women" Advocates
North Jersey See Success
in
NEWARK, N. J., Oct. 16. "Hopeful
and doubtful" sums up the expressed
attitude of the woman suffrage aavo
cates of New Jersey regarding the out
come of the special election on the "votes
for women" amendment next Tuesday,
Despite a campaign that for picturesque
ness and vigor has seldom been equated,
the leaders are not making any predic
tions as to pluralities In the counties.
A month ago they privately admitted that
they feared defeat, but President Wilson'
Indorsement has had a strong effect In
favor of the "cause."
The so-called "commuter vote" may be
depended upon to support suffrage, and
the professional vote Is expected to be
favorable.
Jsmes R, Nugent, Democrntie boss of
Essex County, In which Newark Is in
cluded, la certain that suffrage will 'be
defeated, He says Essex, Sussex, Hud
son, Bergen, Warren, I'nlon, Morris and
I'asssio Counties will roll up heavy plu
ralities against extending the suffrage to
women. He gives the suffragists only
the smaller counties and declared that
Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, JGllsabeth
and Trenton will turn the amendment
down.
The prosuffraclsts are assuming an at;
tltude of conMence, however, s"nd are",
copending- ror success on the unknown
quantity among the electorate, which
votes without announcing how they are
golnirto cast their ballots

BRIDOBTON, N. J.. Oct. W.The can
sensus of opinion is that woman suree

week. While the porkers for the causa
are, vtry active an4 some of tKm very
hopeful, a good many of them privately
admit that they cannot ezpect to win In
this couaty this year. Tbejr look lew Um

There la a big Uet vote to bo reck-

thinking that the majority of thla will be

ever, the leaders of the cause are leaving
no stone unturned to win. This week
they are havlne; open-air meetings
throughout the country, addressed by
Frank Stephens. '

Suffrage Sentiment in County Por
tentious of Triumph at Election
CAPE COURT COURT HOUSE. N. J..
Oct. 16. Tho flying squadron, comprising
officers and representatives of the WI1J
wood and Stone Harbor Equal Suffrage
Leagues, together with prominent speak
ers, will have covered by today the en
tire county of Capo May In their three
day campaign for woman suffrage.
According to the numerous reports from
all sections of the county and statements
by public officials, politicians of nil par
ties, business and professional men, the
woman suffrage nmendment will he
passed by a large majority.
At the beginning of the active) campaign
the general idea throughout this county
was that tho amendment on woman
suffrage would be lost, but the sentiment
In favor of the measure has grown at
a surprisingly great rate.

fining his utterances during the cam
paign to statements Issued at Long
Branch.
The President's address on natlonnl

TO SET FASHION OF SEASON
Color Favored by President's Fiancee
Adopted by Modistes
NEW YORK, Oct. IS. This introduces
"Boiling Green."
"Boiling green." according to fashion
able Rth avenue modistes, Is to be the
predominating color in milady's fall and
winter wardrobe, principally because It
is the predominating note in tho trous
seau of Mrs. Edith Boiling Gait, Presi
dent Wilson's llnncee.
"Boiling green." the modistes said,
would take its place alongside the well
known "Alice blue" made popular by
Mrs. Allco Hooscvelt Longworth, and
"Helen pink," to which Miss Helen Taft
was partial.
Mrs, Gait's trousseau, according to Bal
"tlmoro modistes, who havo much of It In
charge, will bo with few exceptions in
green a dull torie which blends perfectly
with the future First Lady's rich coloring.
Tho exceptions are an afternoon gown
and several other garments In seal brown
and blue.
The suit to be worn by Mrs. Gait when
bhe goes away will be of green duvetyn
woolen, with a silky, velvoty finish. Tho
collar and cuffs will be heavily trimmed
with beaver. The top of the coat is cut
to lit closely about the shoulders, flaring
nt the bottom. It buttons straight down
the front. The skirt Is simple In cut,
.with a slight flare. ,
Thus far, two afternoon gowns have
been ordered In Baltimore, It Is said.
One of the Hamo rich green as the suit
In Georgette crepe and taffeta. It Is
finely pirated and mounted on a crepe
underskirt. The undcrbodlc .Is of taffeta,
flowered In dull roge, over which falls
n Chinese-fashioned, sleeveless Jacket of
'Ocorgette crepe, weighted with beads of
the same dull green.
The other gown Is of seal brown, a
combination of chiffon crepe and
Oeorgette crepe. The skirt Is wide and
box-pleated. There Is also another slip-on
Jacket, embroidered In threads of silver
and gold.

7000 SUFFRAGISTS PARADE
Pittsburgh Wqmcn, Joined by Men's
League, Celebrate Wilson's
j Declaration
PITT8BUHGH, Pa., Oct. 16-Under
threatening skies 7000 men and women
suflraglats marched through the streets of
Pittsburgh today, In the biggest votes-for-women
demonstration western Penn
sylvania has ever seen. The demonstra
tion, whloh comes as the climax of three
weeks of busy campaigning, is being held
as a testimonial to President Wilson's
Indorsement, of woman suffrage.
The rear of the parade was brought
up by 1500 members of the Men's League
for Woman Suffrage, of which John A.
Brashear, recently chosen Pennsylvania's
most notable citizen, Is president. Tho
streets were festooned with suffrage yel
low, nnd half a million persons saw the
parade.

Under contract with the U -
BRAHALLA
UNA M0RSA FATALE VA
AVVOLGENDO GOItlZIA
There Is a widespread belief among
foreign, nnd particularly American, ob
servers of the war In Europe, that tho
Italian offensive against Austria, which
was so swift nnd successful In the first
stage of tho campaign, has come to a
deadlock. Some critics go even ns far as
to assert that it has been broken alto
gether. This belief is quite wrong, ns
It Is based on an Incomplete and very
superficial knowledge of the geographi
cal nnd topographical aspect ot the coun
try over which the Italians nre still car
rying on their offensive movements,
despite the enormous and little known ob
stacles they aro compelled to overcome
beforo being able to drag their heavy
guns within range of the enemy's forts.
A campaign In a region of high moun
tains Is quite different from one In plains,
where swift moves, action of great masses
of artillery and deployment of big armies
nre comparatively an easy matter. In
high mountains, where there are few or
no roads vlnblo enough for the transpor
tation of heavy pieces, where field de
fenses complete tho permanent works of
fortification, forming nn almost un
broken line of trenches and forts, It is
possible to opcrato only with a very lim
ited number of guns, with smalt detach
ments of Infantry and Alpine troops,
without space to deploy even a brigade,
hence the nttncklng commander Is com
pelled to proceed with caution If ho Is
to avoid the danger of destruction of his
men through the numberless perils Im
posed by nature and by the defenders,
Take for tnstnnce the campaign against
Gorlzla, which has been going on for four
months and Is not yet concluded. Gorlzla,
or rather the fortress of Gorlzla, stands
on a crown of mountains which encircles
ii small depression at tho point where
tho Isonzo Itlvcr comes out of a deep nnd
j roUKn KOrBe. This crown of mountains Is
opcn on one sllle onlV( for jess than four
miC8 nmi tho opening is also defended
b. (l formidable bridgehead protected by
Ulc batteries posted on the summits of
I ,,, nm, mountR,13 nround the city and
,,y tll0 spur ot Podgora, with steep
, slopes. This, however, has been already
i taken bv the Itnllans.
In order to nvold destruction he had
to resort to tho only way left, the en
velopment of the fortress from tho Plava
region, on the north, and from the Carso
plateau, on the south. But the Carso is a
fortress by itself, a natural fortress,
which must be conquered slowly, by de
stroying one by one all the batteries con
cealed in the crevices nnd caverns which
break the surface of tho plateau. There
the Italians have gained a strong foot
hold and continue tholr necessarily slow
work of crushing tho Gorlzla forts be
tween the Jaws of the vise which Is
closing In from Plava and the Carso.
But the offensive Is far from broken.
General Cadorna still has tho Initiative
on every sector of the front from the
Stelvlo to the sea, and nowhere have the
Austrlnns succeeded In taking It from
him. He has not only closed all the easy
nccesses to tho Italian plains from the
Tyrol nnd Trentlno, but his troops nre
nnshlnir fnrunr,l In innl. nffantlt,. -vitirA-
I ment against the Austrian strongholds.
