The suffras. Defeat In Now Jersey

The suffrage leaders had regarded
their prospects as decidedly better in
New Jersey than in New York, Penn.
sylvania or Massachusetts,. They were
glad, therefore. that the New Jersey
election came frst-being set for Octo.
Der 10, while the others fell upon the
regular November election day. Great
was their elation when President Viii.
son (who keeps his voting place at
Princeton. N. ~ decided to cast his
ballot in favor of the suffrage amend
ment. This announcement was not
made until October 6, and naturally
enough the cynical were inclined to
disparge. President Wilson had been
30 firmly opposed to the movement of
the suffrsgists in favor of an amend
ment to the national Constitution, that
the least he could do-so said the critics
was to vote in the affirmative when
the question came mp as a State issue
in New Jersey. Secretary Garrison,
who votes as Jerseyman, also came
out in good-tempered statement to
the effect that he could see no great
harm in woman suffrage and was going
to vote for 1t; while the Secretary to
the President, Mr.. Tumulty, who votes
in Jersey City. had led the way by
making his announcement we'll in ad.
vance of the others. The "antis" sheer
ed more or less gently at all this and
reminded one another that the pins had
been set up for MIR. Wilson's renomina.
tion, and that in view of the fact that
several million women in the Western
States have the vote, no candidate Of
any party could go on record as this
year opposing suffrage in his own
State. Nevertheless, the 'suffs" were
greatly enheartened. And the beauti-
full weather of mid October witnessed
in New Jersey the liveliest suffrage
campaign in the history Of the United
States. Thus, up to the 10th.
On the morning Of the Goth it was
found that nearly $4,000 votes had
been cast in New Jersey, of which 1885,.
800 were for the amendment and $780,.
800 against 1t. The number of votes
cast for all candidates in the Presiden.
tisl election in New Jersey, three years
ago, was 432, 500. Every county in the
State gave clear adverse majority, ex.
cept one. and its vote is the smallest of
any. So great change as woman
suffrage would bring about in an old,
conservative, and densely peopled State
like New Jersey might be expected to
require a number of years of considera.
ton before finding majority ready to
try it. ALI things considered, the suf.
ragists made a remarkable she wing.
Since they are much in earnest, they
have ample ground for their determi-
nation to try it again few years hence.
