With nearly all precincts in the

suffrage stood early today:
For suffrage, 121,016.
Against suffrage, 5000.
These figures make it certain
that the amendment has carried

impossible for any official count

suffrage leaders that when all
the returns are in, their majority
will be not less than $500.

of the Scottish CROWN decided not
