AMENDMENTS
To Constitution Carried, 1t is
Believed, Though Returns
Are Incomplete.

CHARLESTON, Nov. 11.-It is be-
lieyed that the two constitutional
amendments submitted to the voters
last Tuesday were indorsed, though
the returns in are so incomplete as to
make any estimate very accurate.
The amendment giving certain prtvl-
leges to women to serve on boards is
believed to have carried beyond doubt,
but the Supreme Court amendment ran
behind, yet it was probably carried,
Ohio CabelI and McDowen voted fav-
orably, while taylor and Randolph OPP
posed. 1t appears that the large
towns favored the amendments and
the rural communities opposed them.

PROGRESSIVE SPIRIT
Not Defunct Because of the
Election Results Declares
DR.. Abbott. II

NEW york. Nov. 11.-Dr, Lyman
Abbott. editor of the OutlooR on.
which Col Roosevelt is a contributing
editor, today gave out his (Abbott's)
Interpretation of the recent election
embodied In an editorial to appear In
the next issue OF that publication. He
says there were many causes which
brought about the political revolution.
ChIef among them were the popular
dissatisfaction with present conditions
especially with high prices, indiEna-
ton at the manifest control of spe-
cial interests OF the tariff revision and
still moro at the defenses and eulogies
OF the tariff bill, and there were some
fears in certain quarters the last
spectre OF radicalis4m should work
havoc to business Interests. He says
the election does not defeat progress
size principles and does not indicate
the decadence of the progressive spirit.
He says he does not think the buga-
BOO OF RooseveIt's imagined monarch
ial ambitions cut any considerable fig
ure in the election.
