frage was decisively defeated in all
three of the states where the PROPOSE
tion was submitted to the voters
New York, Massachusetts and Penn
sylvania.
In this state the figures indicate
that the suffrage amendment has been
beaten by at least 100000 votes, with
the five boroughs Of New York city
and the upstate counties about equal.
ly strong in supporting the over
whelmingly adverse verdict.
In Massachusetts the majority
egainst was more than 100000, vii.
lagos, towns and great cities return
, ing figures of about to ] against the
suffrage proposition. Boston, Phila-
delphia and Pittsburgh and New York
voted heavily against the gallantly
aspiring women.
In Pennsylvania, where suffrage re.
ceived considerable support in the ru-
raj counties, the Republican organiza-
ton, swinging state and big cities,
smothered the suffragists. Returns
indicate that Pennsylvania mas voted
! down suffrage by at least 100000.
Returns indicate that only three
counties in New York state voted for
the new constitution. This is said to
be the severest jolt ever given to a
proposed fundamental law for the
Empire State of the Union. Elihu
Root, formerly United States senator
, and formerly secretary Of war and Of
state, was the chairman OF the consti-
tutional convention, and he threw all
the weight Of his influence for the
constitutions adoption.
Three congressman were voted for
In New York state, IN the Twenty
third, Thirty-first and Tlirty-eighth
districts. The Thirty-flrst and Thirty
eighth districts are safely Republi.
can, and returns indicate that For
ner Congressman w. s. Bennett, the
Republican candidate. carried the
Twenty.third district.
The lower house Of the assembly
will stand: Republicans. 95; Demo
Gratis, 81; Progressive. 1; Socialist, l.
The lcne Progressive In the New

In New York county the Tammany
ticket won easily.
Everywhere the vote on suffrage
seemed to be cast quite irrespectively
Of party lines or affiliations.
In Other States.
Massachusetts elected Republican
governor for the first time in 81,
years and lieutenant governor The
majority of the Progressives have re
turned to the Republican fold.
Three Republican congressmer
were elected in New York and Penn
sylvania to succeed Republicans.
In the Twanty-third New York dis
trict, William S. Bennett, Republican
and Ellsworth j. Healy, Democrat
were in a neck-and-neck race to sup
plant Democrat.
Upstate in New York the Republl
cans apparently more than he'd thel
own. Reinforced by former Progress
sives. they mainly elected their as
sembly candidates and municipal ant
county officers.
In New York city, however, Tam
many routed Republican and inde
, pendent candidates. Democrats claim
