10 ' BIG VOTE POLLED IN ALL IJJSTRfCTS [Continued From First Pagf,] woman suffragists are attending to bufelness. SttftracWs Are Hopeful In this city and Steelton there was no organized work at the polls un dertaken by the advocates of suffrage. It was all individual, and while some of the good ladies in favor of the amendment pinned yellow ribbons on coats or handed about cards, there was no buttonholing about the polling places to which anyone could take the slightest umbrage. The campaign in behalf of the amendment, closed in the same dignified planner in which it has been conducted In this district. The woman suffrage state head quarters staff was in touch with the greater part of the state to-day and reported bright skies and Increased interest as a result of the eleventh hour work of the campaign. The headquarters people believed that about 750.000 votes would be polled throughout the state and that the amendment would go to Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with a majortiy. Peo ple opposed to suffrage looked for from 900.000 to 1,000,000 votes and calculated that the suffragists would be beaten all along the line. But guesses were more or less a matter of sympathy. Harrisburg Has Thrills Tlarrisburg began its day of elec tion after the stress of a particularly strenuous municipal campaign and the activities of the county office con tests with a couple of thrills. Right when the polls opened there was found a general disposition to ask questions about the law and the elec tion officers were called upon to give so many opinions that they began to call up the county commissioners' office and to stir up various party leaders. When the polls had been open about an hour the fire at the Sylvan Heights Orphanage occurred and created intense excitement all over the city, thousands ,being interested in the youngsters and when the flames were seen a good many people quit politi cating and went to the fire. Then the South Cameron street fire occurred with its attendant stir and the thirty-first accident, without fatal consequences to "Garfield" Gibbons. Everyone Takes an Interest Beyond all doubt Harrisburg was interested in the local contests. The busjnesp of the city was more or less interrupted and people talked poli tics. The banks were closed and as for the'public offices they were closed as tight as churches. Men gather<rl on corners and sat together in cars talking over the prospects of the suf frage amendment or whether the four rouncilnien would be re-elected. Som? tcok jitneys and went about town to see how things were going and others used the telephones on the county. Steelton appeared to be having one of those beautiful local fights for which It is noted and the suffragists claimed to be ntaking headway. Speculation, and, it must be con fessed, Jsome betting on the result of the councilmanic election was rife. It was generally believed that the four commissioners had a fair chance and that woman suffrage might carry Har-.

But no one would give any figures and the unfeeling men op posed to woman suffrage would not <lo more than express beliefs. What the ladies Say Both Mrs. Harvey F. Smith and Mrs. John Oenslager, Jr., chairmen of the county and city committees re spectively, were optimistic at the pros pects for the passage 4 of the women's suffrage amendment. 4 They toured the city• throughout the day and dis tributed cards requesting the sup port of the voters at all of th« polls. No "workers" were appointed except here and there where some individuals did what they could for the cause. "Of course we can't forecast any thing at this time." said Mrs. Oen slager early this afternoon, "although we are very optimistic. Wt've no way of determining how sentiment is turn ing but we believe that both Harris burg and Dauphin county will make a good showing." The l/oan Items I While the county ticket contests (naturally held a place with the amend ments and the copncilmanic ticket in the popular discussion, the election of the whole county ticket, nominated by the Republicans was regarded as a foregone conclusion. Considerable amusement was found in the way the supporters of Eby and Wells were battling with tach other over the min ority county commissionership and it was seen that another good old-time Democratic row was in the making. The coincidence of the two tires this morning undoubtedly made some peo ple think about the $60,000 loan for motorizing the fire department and its Approval seems to he pretty certain, although the $300,000 loan for the Walnut street bridge did not appear to be manifesting as much strength as some of its advocates had claimed for it. The Compensation Amendment Organized labor and a good many men who follow legal matters were taking an interest to-day in the com pensation amendment and 1t was pre dicted that it would carry in Dauphin county by a good majority. The min ers in the Lykens valley, the railroaders of Ilarrisburg and the steel workers at Steelton were all lined up' for It and asking their Mends to be for it as it would enable*the Legislature to pass laws making compensation com pulsory. • This .interest on the part of labor was helping the suffragists as many to avoid making mistakes, as was done in 1909, 1911.and 1913, when amend ments were voted on, were marking the whole four. In the Neighborhood Throughout the county, • especially in Steelton. Middletown. and High s;>ire in the lower end, and in the Ly kens valley there was good voting. Predictions were general that the Re publican county ticket would develop much strength north of the moun tains. The local contests coupled with the county campaign and the re sentment against the jugglers of> the alliance for profit were causing many independent voters to vote the straight Republican ticket. There was only a sorry remnant of the fighting Demo cratic organization of last year in many of the districts and as- for Bull Moosers they were all bAck in the Re publican ranks. In Cumberland county there was some stir over the county offices but the edge was taken off the campaign in that county when Sylvester B. Sad led was elected Judge at the primary. One report coming here was that .In Franklin county an attack was being I made on Judge W. Rush Gillan. the sole nominee, by means of stickers, but that It was not amounting to much and that the feature of the day . was the way the Republicans were rolling up votes. county contest appeared to be one way and the city of Lebanon battle which has a number of local issues was holding some in terest. In Philadelphia In Perry county interest centered in the battle between Jones and Meiser for the associate judgeship and whether Rice or McKce would win In their quadrennial contest for- the dis trict attorneyship. Republicans were reported in better shape than for a long time. An Associated Press dispatch from Philadelphia to-day paid: "Perfect weather prevailed in Penn sylvania for the election to-day and lin consequence a large vote was ex ! pected. Woman suffragists, who con [tinued their oratorical campaign up to midnight last night were on guard at many polling places throughout the State to-day watching the voting- and making individual appeals to the men ito give the women the right to vote. Besides balloting on the proposed [equal suffrage amendment to the con stitution the electors are voting on three other amendments and are also choosing three members of the State ■ Superior Court. In Philadelphia where a spirited mayoralty contest is on. the voting in the early hours was very satisfactory exceeding in some election districts the vote at presi dential elections. The principal can didates for mayor are William B. Smith, Republican; George D. Porter who Is receiving the support of the In dependent element under the name of Franklin party and B. Gordon Brom ley. Democrat. The reform adminis tration, headedb.v Mayor Blankenburg is making a great tight to retain con trol of city affairs. To-day the mayor continued his tour of the city escorted by a large number of mounted police men in the interest of the reform ttcket." Over the Nation The chief interest in elections being held ten States to-day appeared to center in the propositions for grant ing suffrage to women, submitted to the voters of New York. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Voters of Massa chusetts, Maryland and Kentucky are also balloting for governor and other State officers, while State-wide prohi bition is the feature of the Ohio elec tion and other State or local issues are before the people of New Jersey, Mississippi, Michigan and Virginia. Generally fair and mild weather prevailed throughout New York State and a heavy early vote was reported from many other parts of the State. In all instances the woman suffrage question appeared to be the chief Is sue and the proposed new constitution ranked second. In New York City women watchers were at every polling booth. Mild fair weather also prevailed through Massa'chusetts and a heav>' early vote was reported. Women al lied with the suffrage cause continued their campaign during the day. Early reports indicated a large vote in Pennsylvania -where the suffragists HARRISBURG 166& TELEGRAPH were also active. A spirited mayoralty contest in Philadelphia added to the general interest in the election, i There was much interest in the gubernatorial contest In Kentucky and I his, in addition to warm weather throughout the State, caused politici ans to predict a vote considerably above normal. The election in New Jorsey is for six State Senators and an entire lower housed While State-wide prohibition is the chief Issue in Ohio, voters in many cities and towns are confronted by im portant local questions. Pretty Suffragist Does Her Little Part at Polls MISS BERL FA TNI If the second district of the Fourth Ward doesn't give a majority of a few hundred thousand for woman's suff rage to-day it won't be the fault of Berl Fayne, a pretty girl who is ap pearing at the Majestic Theater as a songstress. Rllss Fayne is a voter when she's home in Chicago, and a booster for suffrage when she's away. Being in Harrisburg on Election Day Miss Fayne volunteered her services and campaigned the greater part of the day, pleading with voters as they approacned the polls in Locust street. "If every man who promised me votes for suffrage, the women ought to win" said Miss Fayne. "But there's one man who didn't vote for it, I know. He told me I ought to be home Instead of at the polls; that he didn't believe in woman suffrage be cause it made women too mannish. Deliver me from being mannish if it makes me like that man. I've been voting in Chicago some time and I'm still a woman" she added.
