! PROVIDENCE, r. l.. November g.
The massed protest vote of the textile
workers of the Blackstone and Paw
tuxet valleys, recording their resentment
against the use of the state troops to
break the textile mills strike, was chiefly
responsible for retaining Peter G. Gerry
in the United States Senate and electing
William Flynn and a democratic leg
islature to control the state for two
years
reaching Two pieces Of legislation are
demanded, which may revolutionize
state affairs First is passage of the
forty week labor law. Second
is abolition of the property qualif1catlon
for voters.
Voting Law Unpopular.
This is the only state where voter
must possess property valued at at least
s1s4 and pay taxes on it before he can
exercise universal suffrage. The DEM
ocrats Of Little Rhody" promise repeal
of this law. If they do so there is little
doubt they will very materially strength
Ell their position for future elections
The property qualification Is relic
OF the days of Charles II. Men and
women. under this restriction, may vote
for federal officers, members OF the
Legislature. mayors. but not for city
councilmen or officers who supervise
the expenditure of money. Even ref
erendum cannot go on the ballot until
permission for it has been granted by
two successive legislative sessions.
For twenty years the democrats have
fought the restriction, but never before
have they been in position to initiate
a constitutional convention to deal with
this and other state problems.
Woman's Vote Factor.
1t was the women's vote, added to
that Of the textile workers, which was
responsible for the landslide. as this
state Is usually rock ribbed. high tariff
commonwealth. The women generally
are opposed to the property qualification
and because of this fact lined up be-
hind the democratic candidates.
Other popular issues sponsored by
the democrats which aided in securing
the woman vote include the direct cleo
ton Of judges: increasing the powers
of the governor and prohibiting work
ing by women and children at night
AT present the governor can name his
own secretary and the chairman of
the state barber commission. All other
appointments are with the advice and
consent" of the senate. which Incl

| BOSTON. November 9.-Petitions for

| States senator in Tuesdays election
were being prepared today by campaign
| managers for Col. William A. CASTOR.
| the democratic opponent of Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge. The latter's
plurality stands at S,425 votes in the
press returns.
The republican state committee had
sent word to all city and town COM
mittees to prepare for a recount in the
event that Col. Gaston's supporters
i took action.
Except for one congressional seat
captured by the democrats the Massa-
chusetts delegation in the next Con-
, gress will have the same political COM
plexion as the present.
Senator Lodges plurality in 1916
the senatorial contest was: Lodge,
413.563: CASTOR. 405.13s.
Error Found in Figures.
Early figures had placed Senator
Lodges lead over his opponent at
1.945, but rechecking later in the day
showed the larger figure to be ac-
curate.
Chairman Fess of the republican
state committee, in a statement. said
that he had sent a letter to every
city and town committee of the or
ganiZation advising them that owing
to difference in the plurality accorded
Senator Lodge by various newspapers
and news agencies steps would be
taken to have every vote cast in the
entire state recounted If it was found
necessary. He added that this was
merely a precautionary measure to
protect the interests of Senator
Lodge.
The democratic gain for Congress
was in the seventh district, where
William P. Connor. jr. democrat, was
elected over Frederick Butler, repub-
lican. The republicans retained thir-
teen seats and the democrats carried
the two previously democratic.
