The women served their appren

most difficult elections In years to
handle. With more than 200 candidates
for the Republican nomination as mag

until 8 o'clock tonight, with tho heav
leat voting concentrated in the evening
hours, the work of tabulating the re

And yet, judging from tho thoroughly

Some of the city's most prominent
women, such ns Mrs. Frank Miles
Day, Mrs. Oeorgo Horace Lorimer una
Mrs. George A. Dunning, with' the
powerful organizations which stand be

heavy as could be expected in view of
the fact that the polls did not open
until S o'clock, after thousands of men

"We are urging the women who are

"There Is every reason to believe thnt
our prediction of a victory by 25,000
will be made good. Tho reports show
a largo body of citizens going to the
polls of their own accord, and rejecting
the solicitation of the representatives of
tho Contractors' Combine. This augurs
well for the candidates Indorsed by the
Voters' League.
"Throughout the day, no doubt, the
bosses of the Contractor Combine will
be making claims of victory by prepos
terouslv large figures in order to Im
press the wavering. Ho far as the
Voters' League is concerned the figures
it wishes to use to impress the voters
nro those on their tax bills or rent
receipts, for It believes that if they
look at these before they vote they,
