WOMEN CARRY THIS ELECTION
Gay OF Triumph for Them In larry
town, N. T.---Not One
Ballot Was Void.

Tarrytown, N. Y.-Tarrytown will
have $4,000 to enlarge its water
supply and lay new mains for fire
protection and Washington Engine
Company will have new $500 au-
tomobile combination fire apparatus,
thanks to the women voters Tues
day. II was a day of triumph for the
fair voters. They came, they voted,
and they won. Never before in the
history of the village have women
taken such an active part in cam
paign as the one which just closed,
and they were only enlisted in the
fight six days.
On March Is the Women's Civic
League held meeting. The next
day women were being buttonholed
on the streets by enthusiastic work
ers. Nearly every woman in Tarry-
town was seen" and notice was
published in the local press calling
on the women to go out on election
day and do their duty The women
needed the call and out OF 500 votes
cast the women cast more than a
third of the vote
The Womens Civic League Is not
a suffrage organization. Some men,
bers favor suffrage, while others OPP
pose It, They stand for the better
ment OF the village and If 1t is neces-
sary to use the ballot to accomplish
this cause, they will embrace that
opportunity and make the best of 1t.
Miss Helen Gould, although not
able to be present to vote, was deep
ly interested in the election and every
man on her place went to the polls
and with them went his wife in case
she owned property. The Third dis
trict, in which she resides, gave the
propositions the largest majority In
proportion to the vote cast and much
OF the credit is given to her. 1t was
the most interesting election ever
held. The village ticket, on which
the men were running, was lost sight
of. In each polling place the ballot
clerks were Lord Chesterfields and
the men were bowing and scraping
and ever ready to lend assistance.
The women took their ballot and in
most every case declined assistance,
saying that they knew how to vote.
The result proved II, for there was
not one void ballot.
In North Tarrytown the Rockefel-
Ter ticket, headed by John Wlrth,
won out. Mr.. Wlrth received 265 ma
jority, but some OF the trustees just
squeezed through. The proposition
TO appropriate $4,000 for an auto
mobile fire engine for Rockefeller's
hose company carried.
