The »eta] of the popular vote m

reach 17.500,i»00—more thau 2,

HOW THK WOMEN VOTFJD
•St. Louis Republic)
lhe lull "vote in Chicago with
s . irs-. figure^ for votes cast by
w ..men show th«t there was no suchi
th.:.g us ;i feminist movement there
au-i what was true in Chicago ap
pears fo haw Jjeen true in the
S'c.ie at large.
The only spot whei-e sex ceemed
tu count ;it all was in the vote-for
tii- Prohibition, candidates. The.e
the women voters exceeded the
BU.i, when in all other parties there
w. re more men voters than women
The division cf the vote for the
leading candidates was such as 'o
s tow that the women had ihosen. be
'•v i.a the two pa-,ties iu about the
smj ■ proportions as the men, in fact
w! ;ch suggests very strongly that
women voted withi their fam
ilies.
We do net find this'in anywise
surprisirg, notwithstanding' the
dceu uncertainties Tvhich some
seeujel to feel about what the wo
nn-n would do. The women in, Illin
Ois wore mostly first voters. They
vote.' w.th their Jiusbands or fath
ers vary much the same as the
young men vote the way father
vot'-s. Tliey are very likely ' to
continue to vote that way, not be
c.iu. e /hey are different from'men
or weaker than men, but because
tlsev are human. Pol.tical opin
ion runs in families because mem
bers o' families follow the heads
of families and have similar men
Mi constitutions and material in
terests.
TARIFF CHANGES POSSIBLE.
If, as appears likely now,the
U publkai.s will be able to coutrol
tli.- organization of the next house
iuid command a majority, even, a
sleac'er oue, there is some pros
net* the enactment of a tariff
ii'i! Which will give) protection to
American .industries, which will
ne'-'d sucL. protection imperitively
v. !.er. the war ends and they have
tj encounter the fierce "opposition
of Furcpeana anxious to (regain
:trol cC the American market.
While the control of the senate
re.'iair.fc iu the hanjte of thie Demo
crat;, also by a slender majority,
a fair protective tariff bill has a
i-'i.inco of passing that body. Ev
ery Democratic member who is not
a h'debound free trader-recognizes
ur v tie 'necessity of some protec
tion. All, free traders and pro^ec
t icnfgts alike, eee the necessity of
s curia: a greater revenue through
♦ U» cnstcmes house than can be
hal nnder the Underwood bill. '
The two Democratic senators
from Louisiana aire open and avow
ed protectionists. They * refused
to rote for the Underwood bill and
were' EUsManed by their"constiu
eni la their attitude. This Is of
Inteifst land value to this ' state,
because these two Southern senat
ors nre '-s keenly desirous of pro
»e*.ticn tp the lumbering Industry,
ii which Louisiana, takes 1 second
rlace, being exceeded! only'by Wash
ington. as they are of protection, for
fheir state's great sugar 'industry.
-As iheir votes will be needed : for
the 'lOEgagt of any protective tariff
measure, they are lii*eiy to gui pro
tect oii for lumber, from which
Wabbiuc'ou will beojefit.*
Ihere are other Southeri* senat
ors, notably Salmons, of North.
Caroilua, who arie favorable to
pro'ect'oa to American, industry,
although jled -by 'heir political al
legiance to cast thieir votes tlie
other-way. .They will not seriously
oppose a revenue law on protec
tion, lines -and would be glad to'see
It enacted.
The close jvota in, bath, houses,
however, is guarantee. that, should
auv proltc'lve tariff law. be framed
and passed, it will not be a radi
cal measure to any ©stent, but it
will heln to carry over the dan
geious period which wil} follow im
mediately upon th$ conclusion of
peuee.—Seattle P. I. J 1
A FEW GOOD ONES FROM THE

One of th© minor incidents of

i<» that not a Democratic stump
s-ieaker or a Democratic newspa

doubtful whether any of tfrem could
remember ;uiy of its* provisions.
