?lice of new moon ?till In the ?ky,
chaperoned by a dozen or mor? Jaded
looking ?t?rs, when I walked down
eleven flight* of stair? to ?tart for the
flrat polling place where I was to be a
woman watcher, at 604 East Fourteenth
Street, the l*t Election and 12th As
?embly District There wa? ?lready a
knot of busting men gathered about
the undertaker's off.ee, where the Star*
and Stripes, between two chin? jar
dir.'ere? decorated with pink sunflowers,
called attention to the far*. "Visit tl..?
?Il a polling place. They weren't

real porpose; the? were going to vote.
I envied then und understood just
) ow th.? fl '. h.Tirn a vital interest
in my country All ? i
I had been told th.t I would find this a
"toufc'h" place They nad asked me I?
1 wouldn't be afraid to find myself in
that neighborhood so eariy in the
morning, and had hinted for the most
part 'ocularly of gur.men and bombs.
Women 'vatcnsri were not lUpposecl to
be ?dmlt'.'d :i tho balloting places?
until 5:30 P ?cectly I chose a plac*
In the ihadow. assuring myself firmly
that of cjune I wae a bit thrilled, but
that I wn.'n't ii. the least frightened.
All the same, I jumped at an unexpect?
ed voice ft m/ elbow
"Why don'* you come Inside and
wait7" some one asked. "You can tit
down in here."
At 6:30 1 wont into the Inner room,
where th<? balloting wat to take place.
Aosamlag a business-like manner, I
walked .-vi r end inspected each of tho
ballot boxes In turn, to make sure that
t) ey we-e em,ity. I did it a litll?
dubiously, with one careful eye upon
the election o*licials to nee how tin v
were taking it. No one looked angry
or insulter; or impertinent. No ?no
??on smiled. They accepted the ?It ? ?>

thej ? .?f?r.-?l me a chair where I could
most Conveniently inspect the registra?

It v as an ordinary camp chair, and
immedii'.'y so ne one demurred, call?
ing att? ilion to the fact that there
vv-B? a perfectly eood rocking chair in :
the corner which might a? well be;
trotted out for the woman watch?
er. If I hadn't signified my ap
roval ot the camp chair they wont I
ave briught it, and I don't doubt that
they wou'd have dug up a cushion or
two from somewhere if I had wanted
them.
The fir-t bal'ot was cast at exactly
1:01.
"Wonder if he went suffrage," the !
registnt en officials said to me, a? they
F?d the ballot the vote on the amend
ment and the answer to questions, with
their respective stubs, into the various
?lits awaiting tnem. "Want us to take
It out anl let you see?" I said I could
wait.
The names ?vi-r in that section aren ?
any too easy for an inexperienced wom?

It was more informal t.han I had ex?
pected. Some one would give an es?
pecially hard name and the group
around lit? table would groan.
"Guess they throw that kind in at

one would say.

WOMEN LAUNCH
NEW VOTE DRIVE
Held Meeting for Cause
at 12:20 o'Clock This
Morning.
Twenty minute? after midnight to?
day a new campaign for woman suf?
frage began, when the members of the
1'ress and Publicity Council of the Um?
pire State Campaign Committee moved
out of the Tribune Building, and were
addreaied by Goorge Middleton in the
1 shadow of the ttatue of Benjamin
t Franklin. Supreme confidence in vic
; tory next y?ar i? the new ?logan.
"We haven't lost; we've juit begun
to fight." That wai what Mr. Middle
ton said, and the council echoed the
?rords.
The meeting followed an after-elec?
tion party in Room 310 of the Tribune
Building. Within an hour after the
news ot the tnuporary eclipse of suf?
frage was received, the council had
met to arrange for the work of the
coming year.
Cheerfulness and courage the air
was fairly bristling with them. They
(lowed in through the tickers, they were
delivered with the telephone messages,
they shone thtough the chat, and were
rofieetod in the face of every member
of the council. i
The Kkirmnh had taken these fighters
a long way into the enemy's country,
and they weren't retreating not an
inch. There wasn't a mournful person
ir the party, which included such arder t
worker? a? Mrs. Ogden Keiil, Miss Hose

mer. Some one at the piano was play?
ing "My Little Gray Home In the
West." The council ate its sandwiches
and drank its eotTee with the appetite
of the totally unditcouraged.
On another, more business-like, table
were two telephones, bringing in the
news from outside New York. And
around a third and superlatively husi
ncss-like table were members of the
council, notebooks and pencils in hand,
planning the work of 1916, The ehaekl?
v .iiibl have died on the lip? of mti?
suffrag? itself to have seen them.

mused in her loyalty was Dr. An
Howard Shaw, president of th? N

When asked whether she had hope
that Mr. M.rphy was inclined to favo

"I am a Methodist and have hope fo

Family Trees and Suffrage.
When Dr. Shaw was Informed of tn
depr. ??sing returns from M.BB.ehS

Fifth Avanue to haar the returns las:
night The ticker at the platfoim
clicked without ?topping and the
women ltitenad anxiously for Mis*
Alberta Will to read to them the met
tsgss that came in. In the interval
between ?ach menage the watchers
discussed their experience? during the

"My dssr, In my dittrict th? votei

watcher to aaotner.
Jutt then Mm Alberta Hill isid:
"Hera is a statement that suffrage was
badly b??t?n in Philadelphia, Judging

The women trl?d to laugh off the

?"If wt'r? beaten like that In New

cats the people ?I. over again."
To Renew the Fight.
The women are determined to re?
sume the fight with redoubled earnest?
ness if they are beaten. Mr?. Harriot
Stonton Blateh wat unwilling to ac-1
knowledge the defeat of the amend

"Until the data ai to the vote are

We are gla?i that men enjoy the bene?
fits of liberty and self-government, but
ns we hold with even greater Intensity
to th? conviction that it ia mere
: llcenae and tyranny for men to deprive
! us of the benefits of self-government
and freedom, it is the intention of
?very member of the executive board
; of the union to devote her energy to
I winning the political emancipation ot
women through appeala to the legitla
\ tive bodiea of men.
"Next autumn a political campaign
will be carried on to press upon candi?
dates th? quettion of conferring upon
?vomen the Presidential vote. It will
be my personal rim to atart a move?
ment toward amending the Fourteenth
Amendment of the United States Con?
stitution. There Is an immente body
of opinion In the Republican party that
could be appealed to for this work, and
surely there mutt be a large number,
especially among Northern Democrats,
who would retpond to any appeal tow?
ard amending th? Fourteenth Amend?
ment In auch a way aa to iniure ita en?
forcement I believe the voting power
of the colored race and of women can
be pooled in an effort aiming to base
representation on the number of vote?
caat at the laat Pretidential ?lection,
instead of basiig representation, at at
present, on population, and then
threatening to cut down the repre?
sentation of a state If it disfranchise!
its male citizens." -

Cnlted in one great spree of petrl
otiam, a large repreaentatton of the
5,000,000-odd citizens of New York
crowded within range of the Tribun?
bulletin board la?t night. The re?

found one of the biggest election
throng? in the history of Manhattan
' awaiting them.
From Beekman Street to the Bridge,
Park Row was jammed with jovial hu
mnnity, armed wi'h horn?, cowbell?,
ticklers, whistles, feather duster? and
' confetti. The throng extended to th?
; very step* of the City Hall. The fact
? that the Tribune bulletins led all o.h
. or? along Park Row by almoit fifteen
! minutes drew there a. crowd which
. remained until the last of the returns
1 appeared on the ?creen.
Father? and mothers v.lth all the
children, boys with horn*, row? of
girls arm in arm, ud _MN scattered
atoms added themselves ?o the num?
ber which found the election ret'irn*
of ?unreine interest. Ju?t in front of
the Tribune Building a huge triangle
bounded on all sides by police officer?
cheered the election favorite? a? they
appeared. Horn salutes were th? or?
der of the evening.
On the pavement in front of the tiity
Hall a little boy and a ama'.ler girl
were engaged in a flst fight ov??r
woman suffrage, the girl lniiating with
feminin? deadlines? that the women
had won. The crowd laughed ?nd
cheered them o.n. Kverybody wa?
happy, the women because they got
, as m?ny votes r* they did; the men
heeauie they didn't get more.
