SUFFRAGE is LOSING
CONTINUED from page IL

New York, Nov. 2.--votes for wo-
men faced the great test today in
the states of New York, Massachu-
sets and pennsylvania.
The betting-three and four to
one--predicted doom; the women
themselves were confident OF victory.
Mild weather greeted voters in the
three states, and helped to enlarge
the vote. Thirty thousand women
rose at daybreak and took their
places at the polls as watchers to see
that their cause did not suffer from
fraudulent voting.
In the Ohio election prohibition
was the predominant issue.
New Jersey and New York had
legislatures to elect and New York
alone faced the question OF new
constitution. Massachusetts,, Ken
lucky and Mississippi had governors
and legislatures to elect.
In this city 5000 watchers, decor
ated with the yellow sashes OF the
equal rights cause, appeared at the
polls before o'clock Scores OF these
slept on cots in the Women's Politica
union that they might be prompt.

His office was jammed with sea-
men this morning, Steamship COM
panies aided in getting men up for
examination by furnishing automo-
biles to carry them to and from the
docks.
Bulger hinted that the fact that
few men have thus far qualified is
due rather TO the inability to get
them examined than to any strin-
gency OF the new law.
Fully 80 men were waiting In his
Offices at the time. and more were
coming continually. He said he and
other officers intended to carry out
the law Thursday. but he was not
apprehensive that II will be necessary
