SUFFRAGE WINS OREGON
Latest Returns Confirm First
Reports of Success.

Suffragists who had been worried some
what over the early figures sent out from
Oregon on the vote for the equal suffrage
amendment were treasured last night,
when later returns indicated that the
amendment had been carried by a safe
majority.
Reports from twenty OF the thirty-four
counties gave the suffrage proposition
majority of between 1900 and l,4O0. These
counties were representative Of all parts
Of the state, and it was generally con-
ceded that the suffragists had surely won
Later figures from Michigan swelled the
majority for equal suffrage in that state.
The amendment had last night margin
of nearly 5000, the figures being 1855
for and 1882 against. AS the cities, TO
which the adverse vote was confined, had
all reported, there was no danger that
this majority would be reduced.
With the ballot won, the suffragists in
Detroit announced that campaign would
be started at once TO put the saloons out
Of politics.
Kansas and Arizona returns confirmed
the success Of the suffrage amendment in
those states, and Wisconsin stood as
firmly against the proposition.

Did Mr. Doolittle have no time to

he did not want to make public the names
of those contributing to his campaign
fund in the primary? Or, since there is a
limit on the amount that can be expended
in any campaign, perhaps he did not care
to show how much he expended advertIS-
