CONSTITUTION
REJECTED BY
new YORK
Greater City Rolls Up 245, OOO
Majority Against Proposed
Organic Law
BITTERLY FOUGHT III
UPSTATE COUNTIES
Non-Partisan Vote in Republican
StronghoIds Against Further Gen.
traIization of Power.

New York.-The new Constitution
was beaten by about 100000 votes.
New York City, in which Tammany
fought it, returned a majority OF 245,
900. The first figures obtained re-
moved all doubt as to its fate. Every.
where throughout the State, even
where it's trainers expected support,
came majorities against it. Chauta-
uqua County, which is normally Re-
publican by two and half to one over
all other parties. showed small ma.
jority in opposition.
This was the first ripple of the
wave that soon grew into large pro-
portions and speedily doomed the
hopes of those who labored SO hard
for it. Figures from the smaller CT
ties in the State which usually are
carried for Republican candidates and
measures indicated that the vote was
not partisan. From Broome County
in the southern tier, to the counties
on the west and north, the figures ran
just as hard against the new instru
ment.
Tammanys opposition was strongly
seconded upstate. Senators Edgar
T. Bracket of Saratoga, Elon r.
Brown of jefferson, F. E. Dawson of
Onondaga, and other prominent poll
ticians, representing all of the polite
al parties and every section of the
etate, created a current strong enough
20 threaten to drown the new State
instrument early in the voting.
Points of Objection.
The main points of objection voiced
by those who busted themselves in de-
nouncing the proposed Constitution
and in hunting for votes to defeat it
were that it placed too much power
in the hands of the Governor by per
hitting him to appoint many infiu-
entail State officials without confirma-
ton by the Senate; by giving him
unrestricted power to remove officials,
and by largely extending his power
over appropriations.
1t was also contendel that the
scheme of the new instrument was
extravagant in the methods it pro-
posed, and that its entire trend was
toward an autocratic control of the
State by single official. There were
many other objections which the max
ers of the Constitution, under the
leadership of Elihu Root, combated
with infinite skill. But results
throughout the State indicated that
the voters were disposed to cling to
the ills they have than to invite 9TH
ers that might be worse.
