SUFFRAGISTS CARRY
new YORK STATE BY
MORE THAN $4,000

NEW YORK, Nov. THE great
State of New York awoke today to
find nearly 1000. 900 new voters with
In its borders.
Women suffrage has won in New
York, and latest indications are that
1t carried by more than $4,000 votes,
after sixty-nine years OF continuous
effort since the first woman suffrage
convention was held In the United
States.
New York is the first OF the great
Eastern States TO grant women the
ballot, and having won their fight,
the suffragists OF the Empire State
now will turn their attention toward
a Federal amendment to enfranchise
women throughout the United States.
Mrs. Norman de WhItehouse, chair
man OF the New York State women
suffrage party said today:
THE State women suffrage party
has leased its headquarters for anoth-
er year, and will Join with the ma
tional suffrage party to fight for q
Federal amendment, which will en-
franchise all of ths women in the
United States"
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, chair
man OF the national suffrage party
predicted that every woman in the
country will be given the ballot with

METZEROTT Is AHEAD
IN PRINCE GEORGES

UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, Nov. T.
The entire Republican ticket appears
to be elected in Prince Georges coun,
ty from latest erturns.
Nine out OF the twenty-three dis,
tricts and precincts show these re,
suits:
State senate - Holmead (Dem.)
1905; Metzerott (Rep.), 1856.
House OF delegates-Arnold (Dem.)
1.115: Clagett (Dem.), 1,275; Davis
(Rep.), 1871; Fisher (Rep), 1879;
Lusby CDem.), ore; Merrick (Rep.),
1920: Nichols (Dem.), 1000; TimRnus
(Rep.), 1908.
sherir-Beau (RepJ, 1911: ogle
(Dem.), 1922.
County commissioner-Duval (Rep),
1882: Manning (Dem.), 1.071; Ryon
(Rep.), 1870: Waters (Dem.), 1,259.
1t seems likely that the returns
from the other districts, so far unre,
ported. will not change this result nor
materially increase the Republican
margin.

REPUBLICAN SWEEP
In MASSACHUSETTS

BOSTON. Nov. Gov. Samuel w
Mccall and the entire Republican
State ticket made a clean sweep in
yesterdays election. The. governor
was reelected for a third term By
plurality OF 91.023 over Frederick W.
Mansfield. his Democratic opponent.
The antl-aid amendment to the con
stitution, which prohibits the use OF
State money for other than State-con-
trolled institutions, was adopted By a
majority OF $4,000. Lieut.. Gov Calvin
Coolidge, Republican, defeated Mat
thew Hale. who had the support OF
the Democratic, Progressive, and Pro
hibition forces, by 1OO,54j plurality.
The only point scored by Democracy
in the election was the success OF
William 4. Russell in a senatorial
district in Cambridge. Mr. Russell Is
a son OF the late william Il. Russell.
formerly governor, and a Democratic
idol.

Democrat. likewise seems to be GER
tain OF going to Annapolis. The other
two places are in doubt, and there
likely will be a close vote.
In the First district II seems GER
tain that Samuel Riggs will carry the
county commisslonership for the
Democrats. In the Second district IL
is likely that John r. Lewis, Demo
crat, will be elected. There is no op-
position to Odorion w. Roby, Demo
crat, in the Fifth district. William
l. Aud seems to be the successful
candidate for sheriff and w. Ernest
Offutt, also a Democrat, likely will
be the winner for county surveyor.

BALTIMORE, Nov. THE out

Maryland yesterday was the victory
OF the Republicans in gaining control
of the next house OF delegates. In
asmuch as the C. o. p. delegates are
pledged to support the plan for en-
nexstion OF Baltimore county BY Ba.-
timore city the chances are bright f1r
this city to rank high In the popull-
ton race with Cleveland and Detroit.
Race Track Question, Too.
With a Republican house and a
Democratic senate at Annapolis, many
politicians are wondering what the
outcome will be when the foes of race
tracks renew their nght before the
legislature.
The C. o. p. also elected its csndi-
date, Atwood, for the State comp
trollershIp over McMullin, who was
swept into office two years ago with
Governor Harrington.
Civic Bonds Go Down.
In this city the proposition for
a 100000 bond issue for civic i'm
provements was voted down by = big
majority, while the plan to create q

.SHIPYARD
WORKERS

Newport News, Va, will not

for training shipyard workers,
Nov. 10, as reported in the morn
ing paper.
1t will have a school beginning
Nov. Is, true enough, but New
port News is just six weeks behind
Tacoma.
The first school for training
shipyard workers was started in
the Lincoln high school here six
weeks ago under the direction of
Capt. w. II. Varney, inspector for
the U. s. emergency fleet corpora
ton, with headquarters at the Sea-
born shipyards.
1913 Men Enrolled.
The school is now in Its seventh
week, and Is making good. 1t has
an enrolment of 1913 men, and at
every class from five to 10 new
students are added.
The class meets in the evening
every Monday, Wednesday and
Friday, and at the class last Mon
day night five new students were
added.
Under the expert instruction of
Capt. Varney, the men are taught
the practical methods of ship con-
struction. They are taught how
to lay out the work and assemble
1t. With the aid of blackboard
illustrations, entire ships are con-
structed by the class.
Make Models.
Models of parts of ships con-
structed by members of the class
are declared to be perfect pieces
of workmanship.
While the government is In dire
need of workers to build the ships
which are to beat the U-boats and
help win the war, the Tacoma class
is performing a big service in turn
ing out experts for the shipyards
in Tacoma and the Northwest.
while Tacoma is not the very
biggest city in the country, / think
1t should at least be given the
credit of having been the first to
work out this plan of aiding the
government" said Capt. Varney
Wednesday.
