Effect of Progressive Vote.

How far the so-called progressive vote
turned to President Wilson cannot be de-
termined until the returns are fully avail
able for analysis. Some estimates are that
he got at least 20 per cent of it. Neither
on the face of the incomplete returns
available today was it possible fully 10

power of 900. 900 newly enfranchised
women had been exercised In some mel PAGES hsd
it appeared that the women's vote nad
been about equally divided between MI.
Hughes and Mr. Wilson. How far tns
suffrage policy of either candidate hao
entered into the result was obscured
In many of the states the voting was
much delayed by long ballots and the SUD-
mission of local questions and matters OF
initiative and referendum. Because OF
that the results on suffrage and prohi--
bition amendments were obscured ana
proba bly, will not be known fully until late
today.
In the meantime the race of the presl-
Dental ballots is running on. and IL IS t,e
first time in twenty-six years tnat tne
country has had to wait overnight 10
learn whom it had chosen for its Presl-
dent.

great love-feast in the National Cap
ital in commemoration of the reunion Of
the party.
