SUFFRAGETTES;
ARIZONA ALSO

The constitutional amendment giving
women full suffrage was carried in Kan
sas by majority of $1,000. according to
scattering returns received up to noon.
A comparison of ballot from a dozen
precincts indicated that not more than
two-thirds of the men took the trouble
to mark the suffrage ballot
Returns from all the large towns in
Arizona showed substantial majorities
early today in favor of the constitu-
tional amendment granting equal suf-
frage. Practically every important pre-
cinct in the state voted to invest women
with the franchise.
The fate of the woman suffrage con-
stitutional amendment in Oregon still
was in doubt today. Returns from one
tenth of the state are confusing and

NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-Without affect

Wilson and Marshall yesterday captured
an overwhelming majority in the cleo
toraI vote. conservative estimates at

doubtful column Of some states where
the results had been recorded as GER

with thirteen votes. and Minnesota, with
twelve, and ultra-cOnservatives even in
cIuded Illinois with twenty-nine votes.
and Pennsylvania. with thirty-eight AT
that hour Wyomingg's three votes and
South Dak0ta-s five had not been placed.
Heavy reductions in the early reports
OF a large plurality for Roosevelt in
Kansas upset all caicula tons. so that
at this hour Roosevelt's lead over Will
son had narrowed to Is votes on returns
from about One-fourth Of the precincts.
In Illinois the heavy Wilson vote out
side Of Cook county had reduced Roose-
velrs lead to about 1890 as against
the estimated 10000 or more given him
last night upon the Chicago returns.
Roosevelt supporters declared at l p. m

$4,000 WORTH OF JOBS
TO LEAVE REPUBLICANS
Federal Officials Who Draw

Seventy-two Thousand, no hundred and
twenty-five dollars worth of comfortable
jobs are Wednesday slipping through the
fingers of Republican Office holders.
These federal officials who will be re-
placed by Democrats are:
Hugh L. Mckee, postmaster, salary,
$780,
Henry S. Jackson. collector of internal
revenues, salary, $3.50
M o. Markham, surveyor of customs
salary, about $4,000.

attorney salary, $1,000
John w. Henley, assistant United
States district attorney, salary, 400.
L. A. Angler, assistant United States
district attorney, salary $780,
Walter H. johnson, United States mar
shall, salary, $1,000.
An Atlanta man will be appointed post
master. Other parts of the state will
furnish the other Democratic office hold
ers. But speculation as to who they will
be but the merest speculation.
1t is a strong probability, however, thai
the Taft Republicans will ask the presi-
dent to remove Walter H. Johnson, Unit.

United States district attorney, before
Mr. Taft leaves office. They charge thai

shall instantly remember that executive
duty consists in the enforcement Of the

resentatives will remember that they
are to represent the people and not any

ciules of Jeffersonian Democracy.
