BLOOMINGTON, Ill, April 5.-Twelve
hundred enthusiastic women cast votes
at the school board election held here
Monday, the first election in this city in
which women ever participated. The
total vote cast was $500 or twice as
large as any previous vote at similar
election.
The turnout of the women was
gigantic surprise. Rain was falling in
torrents when the polls opened at 8,
but soon thereafter the women be-
gan to arrive. Miss Mary Ward
popular teacher, was the
first woman to cast ballot. Dur
ing the afternoon, in the long lines
of voters reaching from the polls half
way around the block, there were ten
women to one man. The ladies were
treated with the utmost courtesy, re-
spect and condescension, and not
cross or offensive word was heard.
At this hour it is generally believed
that Messrs. Quackenbush and Heath
are elected, defeating Messrs. Thomas
and Green. The former two are under
stood to favor the discontinuance of fe-
male rule in the public schools and the
choice of man for superintendent in
place of Miss Sarah &. Raymond, who
has been superintendent for eighteen
years, and the selection of men for
principals of some of the ward schools.

tie.
