State Wide Prohibition Defeat
ed in Ohio.

Columbus, o., Nov. 2.-Early
returns from today's State cleo
ton indicate that the Statewide
prohibition amendment was de-
feated, though last years wet ma
joritics in several of the large
cities apparently We're reduced.
Prohibition was defeated last
year by majority of more than
$4,000.
Political observers early to-
night estimated that the majority
against prohibition would be at
least $4,000. Partial returns
showed that the temperance for
ees made slight gains in many
rural districts.

New York, Nov. 2.-Suffrage
and the new constitution were
buried . beneath a landslide Of
votes today. The majority against
suffrage is estimated at 100000.
Judge Edward Swami, Tam.
many nominee for district attor-
ney, was elected by a plurality
which was indicated to be about
10000 over Charles A. Perkins
and Frank Moss, independent
Republican.
Alfred E. Smith, Tammany
Halls idol, was elected sheriff
by something like $4,000. He re-
ceived heavy vote in Republic
can districts, which was expected
in view of his Endorsement by
the Citizens Union and other
men usually lined up with the
Republican Party.
Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 2.-The
attempt to give Women the right
to vote met with staggering de-
feat in Pennsylvania today. How
badly the adherents of the usuff-
rage cause were beaten will not
he known until the slow work OF
the votes is completed.
Claims of the ants place the
against suffrage as high
as quarter of million.
During the last few days OF
the campaign women workers in
the cause made almost frantic
efforts to gain support for the
amendment. In Phila-
hundreds of orators held
forth on street corners and IN
halls but returns show that in the
central section of the city the ra-
ito agains the amendment was
about 10 to l. In one election
district the vote was: No. 1888;
YES, 0. In the State the vote in
many sections was about even,
while Allegheny county, especial
~ Pittsburg, apparently gave
majority in favor Of the amend
nent. Other districts, however,
exported a 2-to-l vote against it.
