chicago Election observers Find No
change In Results.

CHICAGO, July 6.-Returns to-day indi-
cate that the addition of women as
voters does not materially change re-
suits, and that the percentage Of women
voting is about the same as that OF
men voters, or less.
At yesterdays elections women voted
In three towns. I.ibcrtyville. North Chi
cago and Wamac. Returns show that
at Libertyville the total vote was 213:
women voting. g. At North Chicago
the total was 179: women. 70. and at
wamac, total. 80: women. 8. making a
grand total Of 422 votes cast. OF which
women cast 1885.
There was nothing but local interest
at any Of the three elections and only
at Wamac did women vote for officials.
In North Chicago and Libertyville the
vote was on bond issues. Most Of the
women voters In the three villages were
married and reports from election clerks
are that they made no more trouble
than the average man voter. Yester-
days results have convinced observers
that the women divide on about the
same lines as the men and that the
only difference the added suffrage Will
make is in the greater number Of ballots
to count.
