TRENTON, Y. J., Oct 20-The latest
returns today on the state elections ind-
cate that the proposed amendment to the
state constitution granting suffrage to

more than 10000
Returns from ,679 out OF ,S91 election

against the amendment
The refusal of the men of New Jersey
! to share with women the responsibility of
government affairs, 1t is believed. will
have a tar-reaching influence on equal suf-
frage campaigns now being carried on in
New York, Massachusetts, and PennsyIva-
MIA
The women suffragists Of New Jersey,
one of the Is original states, who had
made fight in a campaign that attracted
much attention all over the country, were
greatly disappointed over the result, as the
promises they had received and as can
vases they had made led the leaders of
/ the cause to believe that they were surely
| going to win.
| President Wilson's. example was not
enough to carry the day in Princeton. the
"cause" losing BY a majority Of 1S2 votes.
The final vote showed 502 for and GS4
/ against the proposed measure, very
heavy vote for Princeton. The township
results served to increase the lead OF the
antis by 10.
Gov. James F Fielder was opposed to
suffrage and his voting precinct in Jersey
/ City gave a majority Of % for the amend
ment
The presidents district was overwhclm-
lingly. anti, the snffragists getting only 64
to the ants 80 votes, attributed by local
politicians to the heavy negro vote The
first and second precincts in which the
students polled their votes, went pro.
President Wilson returned to Washington
Immediately after casting his vote IN
Princeton.
| The defeat OF suffrage was due to the
fact that many men who told the women
they were going to cast their ballots for
suffrage, voted the other way when they
lgot into the booths by themselves and to
the fact that the politicians of both Dem
locratic and Republican parties didn't want
Ito have the women in politics Therefore
they instructed their leutenants to vote
I.'No' and their orders were carried out
Another element that entered into the
success Of the opposition was the activity
Of the brewers and the saloonkeepers. The
Ihquor interests lined up solidly with the
Iantis, fearing what might happen if the
women of New Jersey had the vote.
Only one Of the II counties in the state
Ivoted in favor of equal franchise. Ocean
giving a small majority of 800 The ad-
verse majorities in the other counties
ranged from 40 in Bergen county to 1000
in Hudson.
Two other amendments were beaten
with the suffrage proposition One was a
proposition to facilitate amendments to
: the constitution, which cannot now be
, amended oftener than once in FIVE years,
and the other was known as the excess
condemnation amendment. The vote,
t however, on these amendments was much
f smaller than on the woman suffrage

CUPID, THE CADDY.
AND THE CABINET

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia "North American makes
the unqualified declaration that "eaoi-
net meetings have apparently been
abandoned. The last held was the men,
oiable one when William Jennings Bry-
an presented his resignation as Secre-
tary of State"
That was five months ago.
Mainline, there have been several
acute incidents in governmental man
aeement which called for all the skill
and prudence in counsel which a Pres
ident could muster.
We have known, of course, that Mr..
Wilson has been pretty busy this sum
mer Calling and goling. But we had
not thought that Cupid and the eaddy
had so crowded his days and nights
that there was no room for his Cabinet.
What does he have a Cabinet for?
Are the counsels of his Cabinet value
less If so, why does he not select a
rev one7 And, if he cannot be depend
ed upon to choose a Cabinet worth hav-
ing and needing, why should he be de-
pended upon at all?

WHAT WE KNOW
ABOUT 1T

''In what way asks the Houston
Post. "can the Republicans attack the
Democratic tariff What do they know
about its virtues or defeets2''
This is no Troublesome conundrum. II
is ridieulously easy. Republicans can
attack the Democratic tariff by telling
the truth about it. And as for what
they know about it's defects, it would
take an entire issue Of this paper TO
ST mmarize it.
For instance, we know that in the
first eight months that the Democratic
tariff was in operation our imports in
creased $4,000 900 and our customs
revenues decreased $36,000,000.
We know that our imports of raw
materials for manufacturing increased
$34, 900, 900, and that even with the
wal our imports in these lines are
$50, 10000 more than they were under
Republican tariff.
We know that our importations Of
foodstuffs jumped up ssS,000,0 900, that
practically all of it came in free of
dr ty, and that-even during the war
the increase was maintained.
We know that, in the first eight
months of the Democratic tariff, our
exports fell off 1904, 10000 and that
cur farmers had to see a shrinkage IN
their foreign sales of $57, 000, 000.
We Republicans know a lot about the
defects of the Democratic tariff and
before the next session of Congress Is
over, the Houston Post will be given
the benefit of our knowledge.

National defense is not a party is
sue," remarks the Washington Post,
predicting that the administration pro
gram is likely to be more largely sup
ported on the Republican han on the
Democratic side. And, dependent as
the President is upon Republican votes
for the success of his measures for pre-
paredness, the Post points out that "no
advantage is to be achieved by offer
ing a gratuitous slight to Republican
members" Yet, by furthering the elo-
ture rule in the Senate, the President
seems bent upon this very thing.

On the morning of election day, the
Houston Post remarked: Democratic
success in eleeting legislatures in New
York and New Jersey and the state
tickets in Maryland and Massachusetts
would tend to greatly encourage Dem
ocratie hopes of easy sailing in the
mex national contest, as the country
as a whole would be inclined to accept
the result as indirectly voieing its sat
isfaction with Democratic administra-
tion of public affairs" In view of this,
the corollary is that Democratic hopes
OF easy sailing have gone glimmering.
