Won1en's Party Sees
Triumph in Defeat
OF Its Candidate
Members Declare Result Proves Very First Prnci-
pie of Their Organiza ton: That Their Vote
Plays Important Part in Nation.
BY FLORENCE e. YonER.

The Women's party. sent out several
months ago to stir up women voters
against Wilson, and for Hughes, isn't
the least bit discouraged by the re-
election of the President.
The members feel a little bewildered
by the Kaleidoscope swirl Of political
events In the last three days. but they
have come up smiling. They do not feel
In the least defeated.
For the simple reason that. although
they have failed. they have won! When
the Democratic party defeated Hughes
by the vote in California-the woman
vote-they proved the very first prin-
ciple' Of the woman's party!
This statement isn't as intricate a. II
sounds.
It seems that the woman's party orig
lnally supported Hughes because II had
decided that the Republican party
thought more of the Federal amendment
than did the Democratic party. The
women naturally believed that. by Nir-
tue OF what was stated In black and
white, the Republicans were properly

But the Republicans laughed at the
Womans party. They treated II like q
stepchild. and didn't give It any pub
licity. and otherwise beiittled Its power.
On the other hand. the Democratic
party closed one eye. and said some
thing like this woman vote IL big

But In triumphing they proved just

TAMMANY AND THE RESULT

There will now be revival Of the
more or less embarrassing sport OF
reading Tammany out Of the Demo-
cratic party, reforming the New
York organization into other control,
and the like. It has. been a familiar
proceeding from time to time, ever
since George Clinton established
Tammany as a great factor in EN-
pire State and national politics. But
the result will he about as unim-
portant as at other epochs. Tam
many has had its wings clipped; no
doubt of that. It was opposed to
the first nomination of Wilson, and
it has never liked him. The dislike
hass been heartily reciprocated, as
demonstrated by the withholding Of
patronage recognition from its or
ganization.
Despite all these conditions, Tam
many has not been caught with the
goods. There is excellent reason to
believe that it was square, if not ar
dent. Charles F. Murphy is credited
with telling some disaffected up
State leaders, even before the nomi-
nation last summer, that they might
Dis we'll accept the inevitable, and
stand by the President. as he was
going TO do. 1t Is useless to assume
that Tammany could have changed
the result in New York; the plural
ity for Hughes was too big. Tam
many has been, like Germany, cul-
tivating a new waist line in recent
years. 1t has not been able to keep
up its supply Of fat, and has been
trained down to fighting weight. A
chastened Tammany has been seen
before, more than once. The Hall
will be compelled to get in line with
the National Administration, in the
hope of securing help in the next
fight, two years hence, for control Of
the city administration. This is no
time, as Democratic politicianA will
view it, for feud. The Hall has
been a long time without patronage
at the city hall, the Albany capitol,
or Washington. If it is willing, now,
to give assurances of good conduct
in future it will get a chance.
Among national Democratic lead
ers, one of the expressions most fire.
quently heard during the campaign
was the wish that the country might
be carried without New York's vote.
That has happened, and it is just the
rebuke that Tammany needed. If
the party had lost in the election,
and Tammany had seemed a con-
tributor to the disaster a real feud
might haze resulted. But there will
be a disposition, now, to make con-
cessions from both sides. Tammany,
feeling that it has been cast down
in city, State, and nation, will be
willing to accept terms.
Charles F. Murphy's effort to
dominate at Albany as we'll as at the
city hall, has been an unfortunate in
cident in Tammany's career. Largely
as a result Of It, his organization
has lost all around. But to say
that is far from demonstrating that
Tamniany is going to be kicked out
by the national party.

PUMPKIN HILL ITEMS
SANITARY PICKLES

The impure food inspector was
in Pumpkin Hill Monday and in
spected two barrels of Dill pickles
that Slick Deadbeat has had in
his store for the past thirty-two
years. Slick had to make an extra
trip to Cabbage Hollow, the re-.
served seat of Pumpkin County, on
account of this, as Slick has been
in business only thirty-two years,
and got hold of the pickles when
he took the store from Sch Crook,
on an even trade for Seb's team
of black mules. Slick had to get
a little history of the pickles, SO
he could give the inspector an in
telligent answer when he asked
in what year the pickles were SEN
fenced, but the records in the sher-
iff's office don't go back that far,
and the best that Sick could do
was to estimate the age to the best
best of his eyesight and imagin-
alton, which showed conclusively
that these poor pickles first saw
the sprig Of dill forty one years
ago. Abe Crook testifies that his
grandfather, Sch Crook, got the
pickles nine years before he made
the mule trade with Slick, and the
inspector informs US that after he
took a peep at the refreshments,
he conceded Abe's testimony to be
correct. There is a ruling in
Pumpkin County that all mer-
chants are required to add new
water to barreled garden truck ev-
cry five years, as that is the time
in which the weather bureau esti-
mates that one filling of water
will evaporate. According to
these figures, Sticks pickles have
been drowned eight times, using
two hundred gallons of water.
These figures will be of great in
terest to the average reader of the
Pumpkin Hill News, Slick says, as
they will show that any trace of
impurity that was in the pickles
at the time when they we're can
ned forty one years ago, would
have been all washed out by this
time. To be on the safe side in
these days of typhoid fever, bull
weavel and nettle rash, get your
dill pickles. at Slick Deadbeat's

A high compliment was paid the
local mining camp this week by a
man who has been in the district
on the mission of securing options
for mining interests in other parts
of the state. His statements were
to the effect that this camp pre-
sents the most conservative oppor-
tunity offered in the Southwest TO-
day to outside capital. The own
r of properties are willing to pre-
sent a reasonable proposition to
the mining man with money. The
high price of copper has not jump
ed the prices of claims sky-high as
it has in most places. Claim hold
ers without funds are willing to
give the investor and developer a
chance in this section. 1t is a rare
compliment of which Lordsburg

amount of fireworks l have seen
the younger generation sporting.
Just the other evening one little
chap came into the picture show
with a piece of burning punk care
fully concealed under his coat so
as not to attract attention. A

ing next to the young man. He

marked to young Robert Briel,

pings, who pitched an excellent
game. The support given him was
not up to par and with the weak
spots mended he would have won
the battle. Spikes did credit
to the Bowie aggregation on the
hill and whitfield a number of good
katters on the Lordsburg side.
Most of the local players got in
some timely slugs which tied the
score 8 to 5 until Bowie put across
the winning tab. It was surprising
low some of the old boys did hit.

CARLISLE A BOOMING CAMP


George H. and George F. Utter,
of Steeplerock, N. NJ, were here the
last of the week en- route from Sill
yer City to the Carlisle mine. They
report the camp as booming.
The new mill which has been in
stalled at the Carlisle mine. was
completed on May 10, when it was
to have been placed in operation.
The mill is up to date in every res
pect and will have the capacity of
treating rs to 50 tons of ore daily.
The equipment includes a crusher,
rolls, tables, jigs, ETC., and will
prove to be the proper equipment
for the Carlisle ores. An oil flo
tation unit is to be added later.
When the mill is in operation
it will be the first milling done at
this famous old property since the
old stamp mill was closed down 81
years ago.
There has been an electric light
plant installed for lighting up the
new mill, while another plant is u.s.
ed for the mine. A pipe line hes
been installed which brings water
to the camp from a spring a mile
away, it being pumped over the
hill.
There are a little over 300 peo-
pie in the camp at the present time
and more r arriving daily. It is
reported that the camp is soon to
have a motion picture theater and
other places of amusement.
