The principal reasons how- ever, as given by the Press, Bulletin, and other papers, is that the pecple did not understand amendment. In this they are mistaken and only show how little the city organs know of the intelligence of the country plople. We met a great many voters during the campaign, relating to the amend ment, and the predominating idea the people had of the suffrage amend- ment was that it was frand in the inter. est of fraud and corruption; that put into operationit would go a great way to destroy the purity of the ballot.
