THIRD DEMOCRATIC
REPUBLICANS LOSE ENTIRE
CONTROL OF WARD.
Gives K~atzenbach GOO Plprality-0ther
Candidates Get Large vote-Rous-
ing Demonstrations.

One of the greatest surprises in local
Democratic circles occurred last night,
when the official returns showed that
the Third Ward returned a plurality of
800 for KatZenbach, as well as com
Portable majorities for the Assembly
candidates and DIR. Charles f. Kraemer
and Thomas F.. Holzinger.
Louis SemeI and Joseph f. Papscoe,
the candidates for alderman and school
commissioner, respectively, were both
elected by nearly 200 majority.
The voters of the ward assembled at
Semels place of business at Prince
and Montgomery streets. which is also
the headquarters of the William c.
Nicoll Association, and at midnight,
headed by a brass band and drum
corps, they paraded thror. the va
rious districts of the ward. In the
front line were the successful candi-
dates and the ward executive commit
tee, with Benjamin Garland and Jo-
seph Schaeffer in command.
The procession passed the home of
Alderman Joseph F. Froelich in Somer-
set street and aroused the Alderman as
well as everyone in the n-eighborhood
by it's cheering. All carried large
brooms. hen the paraders marched in
front of the home of Alderman Emil
Wolfarth. who went down to defeat, as
well as that OF Samuel Blrn. the Re-
publican leader of the fourth district,
which went Democratic, the band
played the dead march.
The parade halted in front of Mr..
Birn's residence for several minutes,
and as he is the official interpreter in
Judge Ten Eyck's Court the victors
gave him the verdict in a manner sim
liar to the method he has in calling
the jurors and witnesses daily.
"Hear We, hear ye, hear ye, Sam
Birn and all we good citizens of the
Third Ward. the Democrats have
elected Louis Semel and JJoJseph f.
Papscoe, and want We Republicans to
harken to the verdict" they shouted.
Freebooter Joseph Mann inc other
Democratic leaders gave the enthusiasts
tic party a rousing sendoff as they
woke up the sleepers in the early hours
of the morning.
AS a result the Republicans lose con-
troll of the Third Ward for the first
in the history of the ward. Usu-
ally the Republicans either have abso-
Lutte control or shared it with the DEM
ocrats.
A reception will be rendered the
victorious officials in Semel's Hall
Friday night by the William c.. Nicoll
Association. The showing of the ward
was beyond expectations, for it was
generally believed with the seventh,
eighth and ninth districts made up Of
part of the old Ninth Ward through
the Pedistricting plan, that the ward
would return a Republican majority.

FORT IN BED,
SON TALKS

GOVernOr-EI Feels Need
Of Rest Alter Battle.
Story Of Deal Refuled.

G~overnor-elect j. Franklin Fort did
not finish receiving the returns at his
East Orange home that assured him
of his election until $50 this morning,
after which he retired to his room with
instructions that he was not to be dis
turbed under any conditions. Before
he retired he had been informed thas
Hudson County had gone Democratic
by 6,59S majority.
An EVENING STAR reporter called
at the Fort residence this morning,
but was Informed that the judge could
not be seen, as he was sleeping. His
son, Franklin w. Fort, who is po-
lice recorder of EastYOrange, was seen
by the reporter inc said hat his father
had assurance of his election before he
went to bed.
1t was early this morning when he
was informed that the official vote OF
Hudsona County only gave the Demo-
cratic Candidate for Governor 6,59S
majority. When this information was
received his father remarked that there
was no longer any doubt of the resul.
and went to bed.
Young Mr.. Fort was asked If there
was any truth in the report that there
was a deal between Colonel Dickinson
Robert Davis and other political lead
ers to make certain sacrifices in order
to beat out Katzenbach in Hudsof
County. He replied that there wa
absolutely no truth in the report; thai
the victory of Wittpenn over Fagah
was the result of no prearranged plans
Why said Mr.. Fort, 1.-The reports
showed that my father ran ahead OF
the ticket in the county, which showed
that there could be no deal to sacri-
flee anyone Up to moor Judge Fer,
was still in bed and sleeping.

WOMEN IN PARLIAMENT.
An Epoch in the Evolution of Woman
kind.

This present yea of 1907 marks an
epoch in the revolution of womankind.
as for the first time in all history
women have taken their seat in a ma
tional parliament as elected represen-
tatives of the people, says the World
Today. To Finland belongs the honor
of this innovation.
On May 20, 1906, the Finnish Parlia-
ment extended full suffrage to all men
ana women "a years of age, the men to
pay a poll tax of twenty-four cents
and the women of twelve cents, and all
entitled to vote were made eligible to
Many office. The law was approved by
the Gear July 20 and went into effect
October /. AS the women would vote
for the first time on March is, 1907, the
leaders among them made extensive
preparations to instruct them in their
new duties. The suffrage societies, the
Young Women's Christian Association,
the Social Democratic clubs, the tenn
perance and other organizations ar
ranged for lectures on the new law on
proportional representation and on the
political issues. while in many in
stances these were combined with talks
on education, temperance, purity and
other social questions. Society women
young lady students, house servants
and old market women with shawls
over their heads sat side by side, all
equally interested. Trial elections were
held, halls fitted up with ballot boxes.
tickets distributed. speeches made,
c~anvassing boards of women appointed
and persons at hand to conduct every
thing in a legal manner. These halls
were crowded and the women entered
into the spirit of the affair with keen
est interest and enjoyment.
All parties nominated women for
Parliament and they addressed their
constituencies just as the men candi-
dates did, except that it was noted in
almost every instance that they took
up. many reform questions and did not
confine themselves to politics. the
democratic effect of universal suffrage
can in no way be so forclbly illustrated
as by a list of the nineteen women
who We're elected.
