BY a majority Of some 1000 out OF

law passed by the Legislature last winter

that the mandate Of the people expressed
at the referendum on Tuesday will make
II easy to pass a law at the next session
of the Legislature making 1t possible TO
begin the new county government at the
same time contemplated under the present
law.
The law passed last winter provided
that officers for the new county-a DIS

WOMAN VOTE WAS LARGE
Proportion Equalled That Of
the Men in California.
IRy Telegraph 20 The Tribune.

San Francisco, Nov. 6.-Although the
number Of California women who regis
tered was far less than the number OF
registered men voters, it seems that the
voting proportion OF the women who were
registered was as large as that OF the
men. In many precincts women acted as
election clerks, and their efficiency was
spoken OF highly by the registrars,
In hearing the returns the interest or
the women was as great Gus that OF the
male voters, and consequently never had
the eagerness to learn results in Presi-
Dental election been so general IN this
city as It was yesterday.
One of the features Of the election IN
San Francisco was the voting Of Chinese
women born in this country, and they
went about 1t with a concern as keen as
that Of their American sisters.

voted on Tuesday on proposed amend
ments to the Constitution to give women
the franchise the suffragists were sue
cessful
In Kansas, where about one-third OF tho
men who voted did not take the trouble
to mark the suffrage ballot at all. the
women won the ballot by majority OF
$4,000.
Returns from Michigan are slow and
scattering, but they indicate majority
OF 10000 for equal suffrage.
Arizona gave the suffragists a glad sur
prize. When the polls closed the women
believed they were beaten, but when the
figures were tabulated to-day they showed
the amendment carried by a two TO one
vote.
Oregon was for half n day in doubt, but
when Multnomah County was found to
have given l.lOO majority for the amend
ment. and other sections OF the state be-
gan adding TO the suffrage vote, II was
apparent that the women had won.
The one state that rejected the suffrage
amendment was Wisconsin, where a ma
jority Of 10000 and perhaps as high as
5000, was piled up against the suffra-
gists.

ticians have already begun to construct
a Cabinet for Governor Wilson, and al
most every one who has enjoyed the
confidence Of the Governor has begun
the task Of telling him whom ne should
select as his advisers.
one Of the hardest places that Gov
ernor Wilson has to fill is that secre-
tary. and already the stock Of Joseph
IL. Tumulty, who has been his secre-
tary since he became Governor or New
Jersey, has gone up by leaps ana
bounds. Mr.. Tumulty is now clerk of
the Supreme Court Of New Jersey, but
he continues TO act as secretary TO
Governor Wilson.
The Governor has a high regard for
Mr. Tumulty and never fails TO ex-
press it whenever he can, He said
only a week ago. for instance, that II
would be a hard job to replace him.
In all the bitter factional fights that
have rent the Democratic party in New

to whom he has looked for advice and
he has guided him safely through many
