There are, today. hundreds of decent,
respectable citizens of Newark who are
utterly ashamed of that openly corrupt,
debauched election, and the women who
still align themselves with those who did
the debauching will certainly not have
much influence with the Christian citizens
of Philadelphia.
We women, who were i'm the thick of
the fight, who measured the organized
forces of evil against us, feel that we
gained a great victory by polling the
large vote recorded IL was a great sur
prise TO the ward-heelers.
Just before the ballot box was opened
in my district the ward boss said to me,
You will get just 10 votes. 1 know every
voter in this district" l answered that

from Jim Nugent for letting 46 slip
through in this district" one hanger-on
said TO another.
So a word of warning to the men and
women suffragists of Philadelphia. BY
having every polling place watched you
can prevent the repetition of these
methods in Pennsylvania. You have a
better chance to keep tabs on your voters,
and 1 hope that you have no Jim Nugent
in Philadelphia.

corruption they had witnessed. In this
district IA voters registered from one
small lodging-house.
