,w«r /'/,'A *m' I&: «&t V:Y:V £tt'" New York, Nov. 2.—Voters In the states of New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, today defeated by large majorities the proposal to grant suffrage to women. In New York 2,467 districts out of 5,713 in the state .gave .241,928 for and 321,418 against the proposition Massachusetts with returns in from 938 of its 1,140 pre cincts, showed 95,077 for and 178,192 •against the measure, while in Penn sylvania slow returns indicate an overwhelming defeat of the amend ment. Returns in New York state un doubtedly indicated also the defeat of the project to adopt a new constitu tion while the republicans had a safe majority in the new state assembly. The state re-elected three republican congressmen, N. S. Gould in the 36th, B. H. Snell in the 31st, and W. S. Ben nett in the 23rd districts. In Massachusetts, the gubernatorial race appeared to be close. Returns from 938 districts out of 1,040 in the state gave McCall (Rep.) 183,332, and Walsh (Delta.) 183,075. The missing districts are in sections where McCall is certain to show great strength. In the mayoralty election in Phila delphia, Thomas B. Smith (Rep.) was successful. The indicated majority for Harrington (Dem.), running for governor of Maryland, was 5,000 in the city of Baltimore at midnight.

Dainty little place cards in pink and white, heart-shaped nut cups in the same color, and the candlesticks holding pink candles, all added to the beauty of the scene. Mrs. Tnompson's two little daughters, dressed in white, with pink sashes, served the three course luncheon. The evening was spent in conversation and in hemming towels for the honor guest.

WCM WITHI* REACH OF ALL I jwr^ Great Farm Paper Boosts North Dakota In a recent issue of Farm, Stock and Home, the great farm paper of Minneapolis, the following editorial was published: A day's ride through the wheat fields of the oldest sections of North Dakota is interesting when one compares the present with conditions as they were even five years ago. Largely within that time the cornfield has come. Po tato diggers are at work. Weather broWned stacks of alfalfa hay are nu merous. Cattle browsed behind well built wire fences. The horizon is bro ken by well-set windbreaks. The roads run level and well-drained. Now barns are going up. New houses show that family life is held to be the great vital thing. The towns that rise out of the distance and fade away into the haze behind the wheat fields are quiet, for this is the threshing season. There are new homes and new stores in pro cess of erection. The grain haulers' teams are few and far between. In stead portable bins or commodious farm elevators area marked feature of the landscape. The unpainted shack (Continued on Page 8) MT. LASSEN STILL SMOKING Redding, Cal., Nov. 1.—Lassen peak, which broke into eruption Saturday was still smoking yesterday, and about noon, for half an hour, emitted clouds of smoke, said to be the heavi est since last May and only slightly less dense. The eruption was accompanied by slight earthquakes. Rate Means Much to Potato Growers Ever since last spring the secretary of the North Dakota commission at the San Francisco exposition has been striving to secure for the potato grow ers of North Dakota a freight rate on carlots of potatoes from North Dakota to the coast that was in keeping with rates given other middle west states. It was an up-hill job, because there had never been a carload of potatoes ship ped to San Francisco from our state, and the railroads had to be shown. The secretary is now in receipt of a letter from one of the leading rail roads crossing North Dakota saying that within 45 to 50 days a rate of 75c per hundred /weight in carload lots will be in force over its lines. No doubt the other lines traversing the state of North Dakota will follow very shortly with the same rate. WILLISTON MAN DIES IN BLAZING GASOLINE Williston, Nov. 1.—Chas.
