The woman suffrage campaign in Massachu-
setts cost $I5Iooo, of which the sufragists spent
$4,000 and their opponents $4,000. The figures

didate for governor against man.

HEAVY VOTE IS
ON
OCTOBER 18th
About Three Thousand Have
Paid Poll Taxes and
About 500 Are Exempt.
ALMOST 1000 ARE
NOW QUALIFIED
Not Yet Known What Per-
ce1tage Credited to the
City Precincts.

A heavy vote is forecasted for the
local option election on October ~.
for the poll tax payments have been
much heavier than expected and
larger number of voters are qualified
to vote than had been anticipated be-
fore the special election was called.
This is partially explained by the
fact that the, city primary of this
year caused many in the city to pay
their poll taxes so they could vote in
the primary for commissioner.
It was estimated yesterday that
over 5000 have paid their poll taxes.
This includes both county and CITY
precincts. There are approximately
800 voters exempt, giving the county
total of almost 1000 voters. What
percentage of these voters reside in
the city and what number in the
country precincts is not yet known.
In the local option. election of 1907,
when a high percentage of the quail
fed vote was cast, the total number
polled was 1854 votes. With nearly
400 qualified it is expected that the
vote on the 18th of next month will
be considerably in excess of that OF
1907.

explanation of the unsuccessful at
tempt to destroy the Cunard liner

he was unable to make out the char

The ordhna, bound from Liverpool

Americans, was attacked by a tor.
