SEATTLE is 3 TOI
FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE

SEATTLE. Nov. s.-Only few pre-
cincts in Washington have been heard
from, but the meager returns point to
the election of three republican con-
gressmen. The counting of the vote
for supreme judges is being delayed
until the last.
So far as known there has been no
landslide. and republican headquarters
claim the election of the five repub-
lican judiciary candidates. King coun-
~. in which Seattle is situated, has
gone republican by reduced majority.
In the first. or Seattle congressional
district. William z. Humphrey. repub-
lican. has carried King and Whatcom
counties over w. w Black. democrat
and Snohomish county is not giving
Black the large plurality he expected.
In the second. or Tacoma district,
Stanton Warburton, republican, is
leading in the returns received, and in
the third, or Spokane district, William
L. la Toilette, republican, had little
opposition.
Seattle seems to have voted nearly
three to one for woman suffrage
A remarkable feature of the election
was the extension Of the dry" terri
tory Nine cities in western Washing

the state. voted to close the saloons
and $50 saloons were put out of busi-
