BALTIMORE. Nd, Nov. 3.-The SUI
frage amendment was swamped.
This is the one big fact that stares
out today from belated returns of yes
terdays election.
Complete figures are stin missing. A
most complicated ballot in the counties
and an unusually large ballot In the
city have so greatly delayed the count
that at o'clock this morning there
were still FIVE precincts unheard from in
the city, while in many Of the counties
only scattered returns had been re-
ceived.
But the amendment is beaten Balti-
more city gave a majority Of more than
1000 against the amendment, and IN the
counties. which the Democrats had
claimed for their own, the indications
are that they viii be about evenly III
vided. slightly against the amendment
or slightly for It.
Opposition in the city to the amend
ment put the entire Democratic ticket in
jeopardy. and whereas the Democrats
had been counting on a comparatively
easy victory. they lose a judge. the
sheriff. and one Of the court clerks. with
the register OF wills by a narrow mar
gin, It was no day Of glory for the
Democrats.
On Supreme Bench.
Henry Duffy is the Republican who
won in the upheaval place on the su-
preme bench. He beat out Martin Leh-
mayer. who holds a place by appoint
ment on the bench, and was a candidate
TO succeed himself.

Clerk Of Court.
For clerk OF the court OF common
pleas, Adam Deupert appears TO haze
made a successful effort TO succeed
himself, but the vote is very close.
The effect Of the anti-alnendment feel
ing was also apparent in the results on
the legislative ticket
In the First district, which was rep
resented in the last Legislature by q
solid Democratic delegation. II looks,
with one precinct missing, as If the
delegation viii be split and there will
be four Republicans and two Demo-

The Second district is a muddle, with
returns incomplete. The vote is close
