The fact that the Arnold home on Fast

San FnANriaco, Oct. in. -Although
suffrage leaders in Los Angeles and this
city hove practically given up the fight
and tho returns are coming in slowly
reports from oil parts of the State indicate
that the result of to-day's election on
constitutional amendments, so far as
sutlrage is concerned, is in doubt.
Figures from All parts of the Slate, in
cluding this city, give suffrage ,gtl to

running for the women, while in this oity
the majority against them appears to !
about lo.oon

includes Judges, and the employers' lia
blllty will he adopted by a majority of
S to 1
The defeat of suffrage, if it la de
feated, will ! a distinct surprise, as
it was thought that the women
had made a successful light. It was
expected that this city would cast its
vote ngainat the amendment, while in
southern California suffrage leaders ex
liected to roll up a great majority which
would insure victory.
Los Angeles disappointed the suffrage
workers, as the returns show I 735 for suf
rage and i.S:'.' against On the face of
these returns Los Angeles county will gi-e
suffrage a little more than o.ooii majority
while this city will give an adverse ma
jority of more than lO.otm.
Never in the history of the State waa
such a well organized campaign made on
a political issue as that of tha suffragists!
but apparently this very activity waa
one of the factors in their weakness Fot
two weeks women of all ages and condi
tions have been making o canvass of the
State. Automobile tours were made
through the country districts, and during
the last few days thia city was the centre
of the fight Open air meetings in thoi
streets and squares were held night and
day.
To-day more than a thousand women
were stationed at x-arious polling places
and ex-ery voter was stopped and urged
to vote for suffrage. The hundred foot
limits were disregarded and button
holing continued up to Ihe very floors
of the liooths in many instances.
"Many voters were t unod against the
women ' hy the spectacle they afforded
in their eagerness to Win men lo their
cause.
