AUTUMNAL BLOOMS
MAKE FINE SHOWING
AT NUM- EXHIBIT
Rare Varieties of Pretty
Flowers Appropriately Ar
ranged Attract Hundreds
to Horticultural Hall.

Hundreds OF persons today visited Eor-
ticultural Hall, Broad and Locust
streets, to see the 36th annual exhibition
and chrysanthemum show OF the Penn
sylvania horticultural Society which
opened last night. Never before has there
been the wealth of material rendered for
the exhibition offered this year, and never
have the results been so satisfactory.
Among the novel exhibits are minia-
ture garden by W. w. Frazier, sr., and
an exhibition of Chinese and Japanese
fish of rare varieties by Franklin Bar
rett. A plant called the Dracaena Longii
and believed to have come from Holland
also is attracting much attention. 1t is
being shown by George w. Childs Drexel
The leaves are shot with white. Flori-
cuIturists at the exhibition say they have
never seen anything like 1t before. This
was given first prize in the foliage plants
First prize for the best eight chrysan-
themums of the Mrs. William Buchan
variety was awarded to ]. w. Pepper,
and for the Morton S. Plank variety to
p A. B. Widener. The miniature gar
den is four by six feet. II has terraces
paths, miniature lake with nsh' mower
beds and sundial. All the plants are
growing.
Visitors agreed the society has sue
ceeded in gathering one OF the finest col
lectlons of chrysanthemums ever seen in
this or any other city. There are many
new varieties, some imported from Eu-
rope and some from Australia, but all
reared in America that each plant may
produce these exquisite blossoms.
In addition to these there are thousands
OF palms and ferns interspersed with rare
blossoms. all ladening the air with a rich
fragrance.
Chrysanthemums are. OF course, the
principal attraction. There are a number
OF bush ''mums" which measure from 5
to feet in diameter and have almost 200
blossoms each. There are also smaller
offerings OF rare bushes. prominent among
these being flowers exhibited by p. A. b.
| Widener, Mrs. Thomas p. Hunter and the

SUFFRAGISTS, UNDAUNTED,
PLAN A NEW CAMPAl
Women Determined Not to Allow Re
verses to Halt "Cause."

Determined not to be cast down by
the results OF Yesterdays election, though
he who runs may read that almost any
other candidates than the winning ones
would have been preferable to the suf-
fragists, the VOtes-for Women advocates
today are laying plans for a campaign
more strenuous than any they have yet
conducted in order to receive a favorable
hearing from the Legislature in 1915.
Mrs Frank Miles Day. a prominent
member OF the Equal Franchise Society
and vice president of the Pennsylvania
Child Labor Association. said today that
her feeling regarding the outcome of the
election was almost too deep for words
'All that L can say, however" she
added ''is that Pennsylvania has gone
back a generation since yesterday and
we shall have to work harder than ever.
In the main, however. the majority of
suffragists have resolved TO saw wood
and say nothing" to make the best OF
things as they are and to let nothing
interfere with the first object OF all their
desires-the winning of the ballot for
women In Pennsylvania.
we have no right to express politi-
cal opinion. since we haven't the vote,
said Mrs. J. d. Thomas, president of the
Woman Suffrage Party of Philadelphia, 3"
NOR have We the right to criticise the
mems vote. We must wait until we have
a vote of our own. 1 will say, though
that we shall expect the Republican party
to abide by the suffrage plank in its plat
form and we shall leave no stone un'
turned in our efforts for victory in 1918 y
However discreet the suffragists may be
concerning yesterdays election, no at
tempt is being made to conceal the gloom
which they feel, one and all, regarding
the unfayorable returns which are coming
| In from those States in which suffrage
was a big issue.

himself as being highly pleased with the

In commenting upon the election gen.

men are nominated for high office, men
of character, civic pride and high prIn-
ciples, there can be, as a general thing.

doctor Brumbaugh was a candidate
such as described. and his election by an
overwhelming majority is a well-deseryed
tribute. told Doctor Brumbaugh from
the beginning that I would take great
pleasure in voting for him, and did vote
for him yesterday. He has nv hest

VOTES IN SHORT TROUSERS
Julius James Explains He Wears
Them Because He's Short.

julius James, 2l3O South Iseminger
street, is the talk OF the 3sth Ward to-
day. Not because he cast his first ballot
yesterday or because he is just 2l years
old-that is common enough. But this
young man bears the unique distinction
of being the only person who voted yes
teTday wearing short trousers.
When julius James appeared at the
polling station at 2ls1 South Iseminger
street, voting was temporarily halted
Everybody gasped or stared in astonlsh-
ment when the young man announced
that he had come 10 vote, Upon being
questioned, he explained that ''the family"
thought that he was too short for long
pants" because he Is under five feet
in height, though weighing 152 pounds,
This. however he asserted, had nothing
whatever to do with his voting ability
and forthwith he took a ballot and voted
a straight Republican ticket,
Many who saw the youthful voter at
the polls thought that some one was
attempting TO revive the old custom pre-
valent in voting days of yore, when the
Quaker fathers all appeared at the polls
