! California had refused to grant
' equal suffrage to women, but had. by
an emphatic vote, made the initiative
and referendum and the recall—the
j latter including the judiciary—part of

three mentioned and the proposition
to make the state railroad commis

large the powers of the board, over
shadowed in public interest all the
rest. The last named, according to
the early return*, had been carreid.
In all cases a two-third* vote was

Southern California voted heartily
In favor of granting suffrage to wom
en. probably by at least S.OOO. But in
San Francisco and other bay counties
the men folks evidently considered
that the ballot was a dangerous thing
to be placed la the hands of women,
aad in some of the counties, notably
Saa Francisco, a majority was poll
ed against the proposed amendment.
Wtaai Suffrage Prominent.
.One unique feature of the campaign
was the prominence which the ques
tion of woman suffrage took. It was
thought when the campaign started
that the recall, with the judiciary
Involved, and the Initiative and refer

the women of the state entered Into

tically made the question overshadow
