Figures on tho action of the voters
on tho amendments and measures

The workmen's compensation bill re

tho armory appropriation bill also re

certain that tho necossary 88,000 and

Tho dwindling of the democratic ma

DRY FORCES TO TRY AGAIN.
Prohibition Leaders In California Do
Not Despair.
Los Angeles, Cal. Notwithstanding
their overwhelming defeat in Califor
nia, prohibition lenders have un
announced that they would attempt to
put the liquor issue on the ballot again
lit the regular election In 1910. In
order to do tills, they must attack In
tho courts tho constitutionality of u
measuro adopted which limits prohibi

eight years. S. W. Odeli, president of
tho California dry federation, said
legal proceedings to this end would
bo filed. It was said that tho next anti

Beaver, Utah. Final returns In this
county show that John R. Christian,
ninety-two years old, has been elected
county attorney. Ho Is n democrat
and bolloved to .bo tho oldest practic

Suffrage Seems to Be Lost.
Woman suffrage, on the face of
nearly half the probable vote cast
upon tho proposition, falls to show tho
virility which it was thought would
develop on later returns of Tues
day's election.
In n total of 95,000 votes, including
Douglas and Lancaster counties,
thoro is nn affirmative voto of 45,1 C4
rnd n negntlvo of 50,352, a majority
against suffrage amounting to C.10S.
On the basis of these figures, tho
suffrngo proposition npears to havo
boon lost. Under tho law, It cannot
again bo submitted until the general
election In November, 1918.
The Nebraska legislature is demo
cratic in both houses. Fifty-eight
democrats and thirty-four republicans
havo been elected to tho lowor houso,
according to present returns, with
eight seats to bo heard from. Eigh
teen democrnts havo been elected to
tho Bonnte, with ono sont In doubt,

San Francisco, Not only did tho
men and women voters of California
bury Btatowldo prohibition on Tues
day by a majority that may reach
closo to 200,000, but they adopted a
roferendum amendment prohibiting
another voto on tho question within a
period of eight years. Tho campaign
against prohibition was waged almost
entirely on tho plea that las passage
would destroy vineyards nnd wineries
worth moro than ?200,000,000, with
only flvo days' grace after tho official
count was cortlfled.

but wo expect to win our majority In
tho western part of tho stntc and nlso

Mrs. F. A. Harrison of Lincoln, state
secretary of tho equal suffrage organ

In various parts of tho state to ascer
