BY ALL MEANS

One of the first bills introduced
in the Sixty-fourth Congress would
make the 9th of March a legal hol-
iday, to be designated Ponce de
Leon day. BY all means let us
have about 1855 legal holidays a
year. Then Congress would never
be in session and nobody but news
paper men would have to work.

M'CALL ELECTED
IN MASSACHUSETTS,
Republican Party Regains Con-
troll of Legislative Depart
ment of State
.PROGRESSIVES DWINDLE
Proposed Amendment Granting
Ballot to Women Is
Badly Defeated
PROGRESSIVES DWINDLE
by associated Press

Boston. Mass, Nov. 3.-The Repub-
lican party regained control of the
legislative department of the state
government yesterday after an interim
of five years, when Samuel w. Mccall,
former congressman, was elected
governor by a plurality of 6,606 over
Governor David l. Walsh, Democrat.
The remainder of the Republican state
ticket was elected by larger pluralities
and the Republicans made a net gain
of seventeen seats in the legislature.
The proposed amendment granting
the privilege of suffrage to women
was defeated by a majority of 132,0S3.
Partial returns indicate the probable
adoption of the constitutional amend
mnt empowering the legislature to
enact laws providing for different rates
of taxation on various classes of prop
erty and authorizing the purchase by
the State of land for homesteading
purposes.
The complete vote of the state for
governor and lieutenant-govern and
on the suffrage amendment is as fol-
lows:
For governor-Samuel w. Mccall,
Republican, 235. .91S; David |. Walsh,
Democrat, 229, 9,312; William Shaw, Pro-
hibition, 1854; Nelson B. Clark, Pro-
gressive, 1904.
Coolidge, Republican, 0,940; Edward
p. Barry. Democrat, 203. 1855.
Suffrage-Yes. 164, ,406: no, 295, 4S9.
The remainder of the state ticket
elected, all Republicans, is: Secretary
of state, Albert P. Langtry; treasurer,
Charles l.. Burrill: auditor, AlonZo b.
Cook; attorney general, Henry c. Att
will.
Progressives Collapse
One feature of the election was the
dwindling of the Progressive vote to a
figure which deprives the party of
legal standing in the state. Three
years ago Charles S. Bird, Progressive
candidate for governor, polled 126, ,102
votes, and in 1918 he increased this to
127,655, running ahead of the Repub-
lican nominee. Last year only 32,145
votes were cast by Progressives for
governor and yesterday the party. so
far as Massachusetts is concerned, COL
lapsed. Both Bird and Joseph Walker,
last years Progressive nominee, sup
ported Mccall and the result indicates
that they carried back into the Re-
publican camp the greater part of
their followers
The Prohibition party, on the other
hand, attained the status of a legal
party by polling more than the re-
CURED per cent. of the total vote
William Shaw. the nominee for gov
ernor, made an active stumping cam
paign in an endeavor to attract the
vote of former ProgressiVes.
The vote cast fer Mccall was the
largest, with one exception. ever polled
by a candidate for governor in this
state. and the total vote was only some
10000 behind the record
movement for the recall of Mayor
James NJ. Hurley, of Boston, failed.
Although its advocates mustered a ma
jority of 1859, they failed to win the
