LOAN BILL, RATIFIED,
WILL HASTES WORK
- FOR RAPID TRANSIT
Majority for Measure Which
Will Give City Many Im
provements Is 137,176.
Only 12,693
- Against It.
Vot
es
The Joan hill woe ratified by a ma
jority of 137,171 Every section of Phila
delphia, turned In n. substantial vote for
it. Those opposed numbered only 11,693.
The total vote In favor of the loan was
10.8W.
The ratification releasee JILSOO.OM after
January L Thla means that Improve
menu of vital Importance can proceed
without delay. These, Include sewer re
location work that -will hasten opera
tions on tho rapid transit program
which will relieve congestion and cut
down, by half hour, the length of Umo
It takes to reach tho city from outlying
communities.
Besides tho transit Improvements there
will be money for the removal of grade
crossings In South Philadelphia, the re
building of the general hospital at
Blockley, the necessary extension of the
water supply system, tho erection of tho
Municipal Art Gallery, tho construction
I of shipping piers, the strengthening of
the city's lire and police protection, the
paving of streets, tho building of sewers
and many other objects of equal Im
portance. There was no concerted opposition to
the loan bill. Independents realized that
the city could not opcrato without tho
money and that new plans. Including a
vast Improvement of the transit system,
a subject which vitally concerned them
all, must bo delayed Indefinitely unless
they voted to release the money.
An Organization vote against the loan
bill would have defeated It. There was
some fear that orders to cut the loan
might be Issued, aa It was vigorously
opposed In Councils and Just escaped be
ing held over until tho election next No
vember. Mayor Blankenburgs decisive
call for action, and tho threat that ho
would call a special meeting of Councils
to demand that tho authorization of the
loan, had a satisfactory outcome, and
the bill was passed on September 17
VAP.E VOTE A UNIT FOR LOAN.
Fears of opposition at the polls when
the voters were required to set their
mark of approval on the loan won un
founded, and the Organization vote -was
put solidly behind It.
The Varo voto was practically a unit
In favor of tho loan, and In the northeast
Peter B. Coatollo. candidate for Congress,
carried with him a lieavy vote for the
loan. Support by the Vare wards and the
northeastern section o( the city Is put
down not ao much to public spirit as to
the fact that both sections -will benefit
largely through the passago of tho loan.
In South Philadelphia the grade cross
ings will be removed, and the Northeast
Boulevard Is only one of the Improve
ments to be carried out In Kensington.
Throughout the city those who voted on
-oidera marked their ballots for the loan.
In the Vare wards leaders even went so
far aa to give explicit instructions so
that It would not be overlooked. Men
used to marking a single X on their bal
lots were likely to grow confused, lead
ers explained. That their care was re
warded Is shown by the sUe of the vote
for the bill.
SAMPLE BALLOTS DISTRIBUTED.
in tho Vare wards voters who would
accept them, and there were many, were
given a part of the sample ballot printed
on stlfl cardboard. This showed an X
opposite the straight Republican ticket,
the Vares choice for Judge and a frag
ment of the rest of the ballot.
Through an oversight the samples were
printed without Instructions as to the
loan vote. In the Vare wards the party
workers bad marked "Loan X" In blue
pencil at the bottom of the sample ballot.
The opposition was not confined to any
particular locality. Flagging Interest In
the loan and Us Inconspicuous position
on the ballot are given as the causes for
the comparatively light total vote on It
Tho loan bill, a non-partisan measura,
polled fewer votes than any of the Re
publican Stats candidates.

MONTANA ADDED TO LIST
OF TEN SUFFRAGE STATES
"Votes for Women" Lost In Missouri,
Ohio and Dakota,
Montana was won to the suffrage cause
by a safe majority, according to a tele
gram received by Mrs. Medllt McCormtck,
of Chicago, today, from Miss Jeanette
Rankin, of Missoula, Mont , In charge of
the campaign In tho Western State.
Election returns from four of tho seven
"campaign States" In which the National
Woman Suffrage Association, with the
aid of the respective Stato organizations,
conducted a vigorous fight for tho adop
tion of a woman snrrrago amendment to
tho constitution. Indicated n complete
defeat of tho suffragists In four of the
States Missouri, Ohio nnd North and
South Dakota. Returns from Nebraska
and Nevada oro too meagro as yet to
Justify on opinion on the result. The
Kansas City Star estimates that woman
suffrage has been beaten In Missouri by
a majority of 100,000
In North Dakota the suffrage amend
ment was defeated overwhelmingly, al
though tho exact voto has not yet been
made known. In Ohio the suffrage
amendment was -snowed under an ava
lanche of votes, togetrer with tho antl
llquor candidates. Tho latter fact, the
suffruge lenders of that State say ex
plains the forces that were behind the
defeat of woman suffrage.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 4 -"Woman suf
rage can no longer bo frowned at" re
clared Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the
Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage,
today, "now that the Democratic ma
jority In the llouso has been cut down!
We are elated. With the calling of a
new Congress we will resume our cam
paign for hii amendment to tho Constitu
tion enfranchising women."
SUFFRAGISTS, UNDAUNTED,
PLAN A NEW CAMPAIGN
Women Determined Not to Allow Re
verses to Halt "Caua9."
Determined not to be oust down by
the results of vetorday's election, though
he who runs may read that almost any
other candidates than the winning ones
would huve been preferable to the suf
fragists, the Votes-for-Women advocates
today are laIng plans for a campaign
more strenuous than any they have yet
conducted In order to receive a favorable
hearing from the Legislature In 1913.
Mrs Frank Miles Dai a prominent
member of the Equal Franchise Society
and vice president of the Pennsyl, autu
Child Labor Association, tnld today that
her feeling regarding the outcome of tho
election was almost "too deep for words."
"All that I can suy, however," sho
added, "is that Pennsylvania has gone
back a generation since yesterday and
wo shall have to work harder than ever "
In the main, however, the majority of
suffragists have resolved to "saw wood
and say nothing," to make the best of
things as they are and to let nothing
Interfere with the llrst object of all their
desires the winning of tho bullof for
women In Pennsylvania.
"Wo have no right to express a politi
cal opinion, slnoe we haven't the vote,"
said Mrs J. D. Thomas, president of the
Woman Suffrage Party of Philadelphia,"
"nor have wo the right to criticise the
men's vote. We must wait until we hav
a vote of our own. I will say, though
that wo shall expect the Republican partj
to abide by the suffrage plank In Its plat
form and wo shall leave no stone un
turned In our efforts for victory In 1915."
However discreet the suflraglsts may be
concerning yesterday's election, no at
tempt is being made to conceal the gloom
which they feel, one and all, regarding
tho unfavorable returns which are coming
In from those States In which suffrage
was a big Issue.
VOTES IN SHORT TROUSERS
Julius James Explains He Wears
Them Because He's Short.
Julius James, 2130 South lEemlnger
street, Is the talk of the 39th Ward to
day. Not because he cast his first ballot
yesterday or because ho Is Just 21 years
old that Is common enough. But this
young man bears the unique distinction
of being the only person who voted yes
terday wearing short trousers.
When Julius James appeared at the
polling station at 2131 South Isemlnger
street, voting was temporarily halted.
Everybody gasped or stared In astonish
ment when the young man announced
that he had come to vote. Upon being
questioned, he explained that "the family"
thought that he was "too short for long
pants," because he Is under Ave feet
In height, though weighing 152 pounda.
This, however, he asserted, had nothing
whatever to do with his voting ability
and forthwith he took a ballot and voted
a straight Republican ticket.
Many who saw the youthful voter at
the polls thought that some one was
attempting to revive the old custom pre
valent in voting days of yore, when the
Quaker fathers all appeared at the polls
In abbreviated trousers.

"Without money, without newspaper
support, without organization, It was
Impossible for mo to win, but I con
sole myself with the knowledge that
I hae elocted Whitman, beaten Glynn,
made Roosevelt ridiculous nnd driven
from public Ilfo the conspirators who
stole the Governorship "
NEW YORK, Nov. 4,-As tho election

WHY WORRY ABOUT FIRE
WHEN GERMANS WIN FIGHT?
So Asks John DubIi When Blaze
Sweeps His Home.
U la. Indeed, a patriot who find some eon
solution For the ruin of hl domlclle.by fire.
In tho fact tht Wllholm'e baltlcehlpa hive,
mode a conflagration
And have used up English shlpi to build the
pyre.
John Rush, 2421 North Lawrence street,
Is Jubllnnt today despite the fact that
fire damaged his home last night to tho
extent of J50O. This paradoxical state
ment Is explnlncd by the fact that Dush
Is of German descent. When questioned
this morning about the blaze he replied:
"What s the talking about fire when
the Germans Just blowed up four British
battleships? I don't care about a little
thing liko my house when something llko
that happens to those Englanders."
Finally, however, Bush wag able (o
conse talking about the war long enough
to tell something of the fire. Ho said
tho blaze was probably caused by hl.i
son, John Bush, stepping on a match ai
ho left tho house to go hear the election
rctutni last night The blaze was dis
covered In the kitchen by 75-year-old Mrs.
Mary Bush, who kept tho flames In check
until a bucket brigade wbb formed by
neighbors.
An Interesting feature ot the fire oc
curred when OWo Lavler, 2417 North
Lawrence street played a garden ho'jo
over n ferce Into tho yard of the Bush
resldpnce In an effort to extinguish tho
flames, nnd drenched a crowd of specta
tors who had gathered to watch tho
efforta of the bucket workers.
The flro wns finally extinguished by
Sergeant Brady nnd men from the 18th
police district.
SOPHS VICTORS IN POSTER
FIGHT AT THE UNIVERSITY
Out-Gcnoral First-Year Men nnd Win
Annual Battle.
The poster fight In the rear of College
Hall nt tho University of Pennsylvania
resulted In a victory for the sophomores,
who beforo 6 o'clock succeeded In tear
ing the poster from tho back door of the
building, posted there during the night
by tho freshmen.
Tho fight took place shortly before 4
o'clock. For nearly two weeks the sophs
had beon watching for the flaring poster.
Unusual activity last night on the part
of members of the first-year class gave
warning to the sophomores. Tho freshles,
under the leadership of Harry Ross, their
president, an ex-Central High School ath
lete and member of the University of
Pennsylvania freshman football team,
decorated many signboards In West
Philadelphia with tholr gaudy posters
bearing tho words, "Oh, Soph I"
Later a picked group, armed with n
poster, pasto and brush, crept stealthily
around College Hall and pasted their
'proc' on the door. Spies for the sopho
tnoies were soon on hand and "Matty"
Matthews, president of tho class, quickly
mobilized his men. A board of strategy
was formed and it decided to kidnap
every freshman In sight, and us a con
sequence many wearers of the little black
caps were soon corraled.
When the two classes clashed this
morning each numbered about 100. The
sophomores swept down on tho fresh
men, who were Jealously guarding the
poster, and after a fight of 20 minutes
succeeded In tearing It from the door.
R0TARITES IN DEPTHS
OF GLOOM AT DINNER
Election Not the Cause, "Under
takers' Jubilee" tho Occasion.
Gloom pervaded the meeting of the Ro
tary Club today during Its noonday
luncheon at the St. James' Hotel, and
tho stage wns set to promote tears and
sadness. Neither the election nor the
condition of business had nny connec
tion with the occasion, which was ar
ranged some time ago. Far lack of an
official title, the event could have been
Justly called "Tho Undertakers' Jubilee."
In the centra of the table was a hearse
full of choice dainties, whllo the plato
ot each guest was surmounted with a
tombstone which announced the menu.
Any one who laughed was fined and to
lteep every one as miserable as pos
sible, the subjects assigned to several
speakers concerned death, flowers and
cemeteries.
G. M. Painter, of the Westminster
Cemetery Company, presided, while John
M. Gessler, In a sepulchral voice, spoke
on "Tombstones and Their Necessity."
Schuyler Armstrong spoke glibly of the
latest styleB for burials and urged all
present to keep up to date in this con
nection, The history of mausoleums and church
edifices was entered Into by the Rev.
John P. Harding, of St. Mark's Protest
ant Episcopal Church.
Charles Henry Fox, the florist, spoke on
the necessity of wax flowers for various
occasions.
When dessert was reached all present
sang "And When I Die." They adjourned
to the music of Saul's "Funeral March."

VARE "REGULARITY"
PUTS HIM "IN LINE"
FOR MAYORALTY
Only 2200 Voters Carried
the "Knife" for Penrose to
the Polls in a Total of 55,
000 in Leader's Bailiwick.
The "knlflng" of Penrose In the Vnro
wards amounted to about 2200 votes out
of a total of approximately 55,000 votes
polled.
Tho total vote for Brumbaugh for Gov
ernor exceeded the Penrose senatorial
muster of ballots by 1471 In the Varo
wards south of Market street between tho
rivers. That excess of tho Brumbaugh
vote Is increased to 2207 by tho 7S0 ballots
by which Brumbaugh ran ahead ot Pen
rose In the 40th Ward, west of tho Schuyl
kill River In tho southern section of West
Philadelphia.
Tho lead of the Brumbaugh vote was
established In spite of the fact that
Doctor Brumbaugh's opponent, Vance
McCormlck, wns the regular Democratlo
nominee with tho Indorsement of the
Washington party, while the Penrose op
position was distributed between two
candidates, Palmor, of the Democrats,
and PInchot, of the Washington party.
Politicians regard the comparatively
small cut of Penrose In tho Varo wards
as Indicating that the ordora of the Vares
were strictly for "regularity," In spite
of the published exposure of their alleged
betrayal by Penrose In his engernosa to
shatter William S. Varo's aspirations for
the Mayoralty In the last municipal cam
paign. PUTS VARE "IN LINE" FOR MATOR.
Tho meek submission of the Vares to
the Penrose candidacy, even after Wil
liam S. Vare, on a point of personal
privilege, made a speech In Congress
branding Penrose a "liar" unless action
was taken by the Senator to refute the
published charges that Varo debauched
former Mayor Royburn, Is taken ns an
Indication that "Brother Will" will again
be a candidate for Mayor with sanction
of the Penrose-McNIchol faction of the
Organization.
Tho cutting of Penrose la rognrded as
the personal action of voters loyal to
the Vares even beyond the point of sub
mitting to orders for "regularity."
While the knife for Penrose was un
sheathed more frequently In the 40th
Ward than in any other section of the
Vares' bailiwick, the hnm norri Acn.
Senator Edwin H, Vare, the 89th. ran
close second. The Brumbaugh vote in
E. H. Vare'a ward exceeded the Penrose
voto by 533.
Voters in the SSth Ward, formerly led
by Hugh Black, now reduced to tho po
litical ranks by the Organization, knifed
Penrose to the extent of 348 votes.
Another ward In which the assassina
tion ot Penrose was attempted by desul
tory ballot attacks was Congressman
William S. Vare's own, the 26th. The

MAYOR PLEASED WITH
ELECTION OF BRUMBAUGH
Blnnkenhurg' Ascribes Democratlo
Defeat to New Tariff.
Mayor Blankcnburg today expressed
himself as being highly pleased with the
flection of Doctor Brumbaugh. He at
tributed tho big majority throughout the
State to the high character of the guber
natorial candidate and the failure of the
Underwood tariff law.
In commenting upon the election gen
erally, the Mayor avoided mentioning the
name of Senator Penrose. "If good, strong
men are nominated for high office, men
of character, civic pride and high prin
ciples, there can be, as a general thing,
little doubt if the result," he eald.
"Doctor Brumbaugh was a candidate
such as described, and his election by an
overwhelming majority Is a well-deserved
tribute. I told Doctor Brumbaugh from
tho beginning that I would take great
pleasure In voting for him, and I did vote
for him yesterday. He has my best
wishes, and I am sure that he will make
one of the best Governors Pennsylvania
has ever had.
"Tho result, of course, must largely be
ascribed to the unreasonable Underwood
tariff. Pennsylvania Is a protection Bute
nnd the unwarranted cuts In many of the
schedules affecting our products is an em
photic onswer to tho Democratlo idea of
taking care of home industries. I m
naturally much pleased with the afflrma.

"Now let us all pull together, regard,
