MUCH DUE TO WOMEN.
Prohibition Defeated in Los Angeles
by Over $4,000 Majority.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. Complete
returns from S15 out of 317 precincts
in the municipal election, give George
Alexander, incumbent, candidate of
the Good Government league for
mayor, Ss,97S, and Job Hartman, So
cialist. 52,293.
The entire Good Government ticket
was elected. No Socialist candidate
for any office came within $4,000 votes
of winning
OF the successful candidates for
members of the board of education,
Joseph Scott, who was allied with the
counsel for the defense of the McNa-
maras, finished last. He is now presi-
dent of the board.
Prohibition was defeated by a vote
Of 1861 for and 1894 against.
The nearly complete returns show
that the Socialist vote fell off in near
ly every precinct in the city. In many
where they carried the primary they
were scarcely a contender at the cleo
ton. This is due, leaders of the Good
Government organization declare, to
the vote of the women who were not
privileged to vote at the primary. Of
the women registered, it is claimed s.
per cent voted. OF the men register
ed, about 10 per cent voted.
In many precincts the total strength
of the women was cast, While so per
cent was given as high estimate on
the vote of the men registered in any
one polling place.
With an automobile for nearly every
block in the city, the Woman's Pro-
gressive league worked hard for the
Alexander ticket 1t took entire
charge of IA precincts and every one
of these was carried for Alexander
On the east side where Hartman
rolled up his largest pluralities in the
primary, the women turned two-thirds
of the precincts into the Alexander
column, at the regular election. The
election judges in many polling places
reported that the women took up less
time in the booth than did the men
and did not ask half so many cues
tons The women themselves declare
this was the result of the schools for
women voters established throughout
the city.
Il think our showing" said Miss
Jeanette Converse, one of the progress
sive leaders, "refutes completely the as
sertions of those opposed to suffra ge
that the women did not wish to vote.
They not only wished to vote, but they
did vote and voted intelligently.''
The Taxpayers league, which oppoS-
ed the prOhibitory amendment, made an
especial effort to secure the support of
the women voters. That the women
played a prominent part in the defeat
of the amendment lis not denied. Be
cause of the amendments drastic pro-
who did not care to be classed as law
breakers if they had liquor in their own
homes, voted strongly against it. 1t is
stated by the chairman of the Temper
ance Lea que that an effort will be made
to have a special election called at
which a somewhat modified prohibitory
amendment Will be voted upon.

BACK in The GAME
Kansas City Divorce Proctor Appears
as Attorney for the Defense

Kansas City, Dec. 7-Divorce seekers
who yesterday won a victory over w
w Wright, the divorce proctor, when
he was barred from participation in a
pending suit, were routed today when
the proctor appeared as the attorney
for the defendant in the suit The plain
t1ff's attorney objected to the proctor's
activities on the ground that he had no
legal connection with the case and con-
tentiOn was sustained.
Mr.. Wright today discovered that the
defendant, u woman was unaware that
a suit had been filed against her. No
tice was by publication only and al
though she mas not been away from
the city she had not seen the incon-
spicuous legal publication. When in
formed of the situation she employed
the proctor as her attorney and her
hsbands application for divorce was
denied.
Circuit Judge Guthrie announced that
although divorce lawyers may legally
prevent the proctor from Questioning
witnesses, his work would continue just
the same, as he will be allowed to
prompt the court In the examinations

Internally, however, it is palatial. Great
canvas halls stand near by for official

their quarters in the canvas city which
is broken up by the green lawns, polo

for alleged violation of the Sherman anti

only few days would be occupied by the
rapid examination of veniremen in the
opening session. Indications were that
only few das would be occupied by the
government in finding satisfactory
panel and it was reported the defense
would be equally as rapid
Ten o& the governments thirty per-
emptory challenges had been exhausted
at the opening of court today.
Eleven men were in the jury box when
court convened. Six of these were farm
ers and it was believed the attorneys for
the defense would exercise their per-
emptory challenges to eliminate as many
farmers as possible from the jury which
will try the case.
Louis H. Heyman, Arthur Meeker and
Edward Tilden were the only defendants
present.
