COMPLICATION OF VOTE
IN MASSACHUSETTS

BOSTON. Nov. "A complication
in the vote of the Massachusetts,
members 1of the electoral college in
the November election is possible.
This because of the inclusion on the
ballot, among the Democratic candi-
dates for electors for Cox and Roose-
welt, of the name of Charles Francis
Adams. End, treasurer of Harvard
College and skipper of the yacht
Resolute in the Americas cup races,
who had requested that his name be
withdrawn.
Mr.. Adams said that he had been
selected by the democratic state
without his knowledge,
and that he did not wish to stand as
"a candidate for ~elector.
The letter requesting withdrawal
of his name, according to Michael a.
|O'eLary, chairman Of the Democratic
state committee, did not reach the
committee headquarters until rs
minutes before the expiration of the
time for Withdrawals on September
30. Mr.. Adams was notified immed-
lately by telephone that withdrawal
could be accomplished only by sworn
statements by the candidate, accord
ing to the chairman. but the time
limit expired without action, and ths
name of Mr.. Adams was placed on
ballot.
The vote of Mr.. Adams, should he
be elected. Is in question. He has said
that he understood an elector had a
legal right to vote as he wished.
Chairman O'Leeary expressed the
lopinion that Mr.. Adams, if elected,
would vote in accordance with the
apparent wish CT the people who
elected him.

FOR CONGRESS

IT. Frank Appleby will make a
good congressman. The voters of
the third congressional district have
chosen well. The outlook for a Re-
publican landslide from the very
start Of the campaign indicated the
Monmouth county mans election
and few people were surprised ut
the result except for the size of the
majority.
Mr. Appleby will be the first con-
gresham from Monmouth county in
a great many years. 1t is time that
they had a turn down that way.
Monmouth is a large and growing
county. 1t has more registered
voters than Middlesex. Yet, for one
reason or another, it has never been
able to secure representation. Prob
ably the inability of the politicians
down there to get together on a
candidate that they all could sup
port was the cause.
At last. however. Monmouth's
turn has arrived. The Republicans
of Middlesex, while having a candi-
date of their own at the primaries,
failed to support him in the face of
Mr.. Appleby's popularity. The time
being %opportune for Republican sue
cess. Mr.. Appleby wins.
The Democrats seemed to realize
the hopelessness of their cause from
the start. DIR. w. f. Ramsay was
persuaded to accept the nomination
that had apparently gone begging
for a long time. and he took it upon
himself to lead a forlorn cause.
Doubtless feeling that his only
chance rested with an appeal to the
wet" element in the district. he
launched forth a campaign in be-
half of the modification of the Vol
stead act. He was unfortunate in
his method of campaigning by at
once alternating the women voters
by insisting that under the prohibit
ton enforcement laws as they stand
today women were addicted 10
drink than ever before and that
they e r even feeding it to their
babies in their homes. He based his
statement on his practice as a
physician in this city and. accord
ingly. gave the impression that
Perth Amboy was filled with drunk
en- women and supplied babies.
Apparently the doctor realized his
mistake for he changed his methods

best way to assure the United States
entering the league was to elect

SCORES Of WOMEN RUN
FOR OFFICE THIS ELECTION

All over the United States this year
excepting some southern districts
women have been running for office.
The positions sought included every
thing from mayor of some small

places in state legislatures. or on
state tickets for such positions as Sec
rotary of state and superintendent of
public instruction. Several women
already hold the latter position. and
in numerous cases women are county
school superintendent.
Unique. perhaps. is the candidacy
of Miss Florence f. Allen. a capable
Cleveland lawyer, for common pleas
