NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
EQUAL SUFFRAGE 
LETTER TO THE Eprror 
Dear Mr. Editor: 
S it possible that any women or men 
are so silly as to think that the 
Suffrage movement has been “settled” 
in this state? Let them remember 
the line in Dr. Holmes’ poem ‘The 
Battle of Bunker Hill,”’—‘“They are 
baffled not defeated!” Our campaign 
is not ended, but just begun. As I 
have said before, there shall be no 
rest until the women have won their 
great and good fight. The Antis 
claim “a clean sweep.” Perhaps it 
was a sweep, but it was not clean! 
We in Massachusetts heartily endorse 
the spirited statement sent out from 
the National Committee. We think 
that we, Suffragists, have done well, 
but we do not think the voters have 
done well this time. And this we 
say not with bitterness, but with the 
utmost courage for the future. We 
are not proud of Massachusetts at 
this moment, but we are proud of 
our clean campaign and of our 
friends, who are the best element of 
the community. This is as true of 
Manchester as of the rest of the state, 
(and of New York) and we shall 
never forget them. While feeling 
deep disgust at the women who have 
worked with the politicians against 
their own sex, at the same time our 
faith in womanhood is upheld by the 
self-sacrifice and courage and good 
work of the Suffrage sisterhood. 
And while disappointed in the Massa- 
chusetts vote we can at least say that 
we are no worse than the other East- 
ern states,—no worse than the West- 
ern states at their first campaigns! 
But the delay and waste are stupid 
and dangerous. This campaign has 
shown us more clearly than ever the 
need for women to come into the 
electorate, and the story of every 
campaign state has been repeated,—- 
that the liquor men got very busy 
during the last two weeks and in that 
time we lost ground. The opponents 
waged a campaign of slander and 
fears,—you can frighten the people 
for a time, but not for very long, 
even in poor old Massachusetts ! 
On Thursday, in Boston we shail 
have two important meetings to re- 
organize, etc., and after that we shail 
know more about our plans for new 
work. But “Conquer we must, for 
Constitutional Amendment for taking 
Land to Relieve Congestion of 
Population: 
Yes, 257: No, 41. 
Taxation Amendment: 
Yes, 281; No, 86; blanks, 207.

THE- STATE ELECTION 
REPUBLICANS SwkEP EveRYTHING; 
SUFFRAGE DOWNED By 2 To I VOTE 
Gov. David I. Walsh, Democrat, 
was defeated in his race for re-elec- 
tion by Samuel W. McCall, a former 
Congressman, Republican, at the 
Mass. State election Tuesday. Mc- 
Call’s plurality was over 6000 votes. 
The entire Republican state ticket 
was elected and the Republican ma- 
jority in the Legislature was _ in- 
creased. 
Woman suffrage was defeated by 
about 2 to 1,—132,000 plurality. 
The Progressive party, under its 
standard bearer, Nelson B. Clark of 
Beverly, sank into oblivion, failing 
io, pollatiie 4 sper. cent, miecessary= 10 
keép .ita legal party. “Less than 
10,000 votes were cast for Clark. 
William Shaw carried the Prohibi- 
tion party into the place left vacant 
by the Progressive party by polling 
some 20,000 votes. 
The total vote was extraordinarily 
heavy, surpassing all expectations. 
More than 490,000 votes were cast 
for the six candidates for Governor. 
Last year the total vote was 446,478. 
Suffrage brought out most of the 
increase, although an increase in the 
city of Boston vote was caused by the 
question of recalling Mayor Curley. 
MANCHESTER Casts DECIDED 
VotE AGAINST SUFFRAGE. 
Despite the erroneous reports in 
the Boston papers, Manchester went 
strongly against the Woman Suffrage 
amendment at the polls Tuesday. The 
Boston Advertiser commented thus: 
“In the eastern part of the State, 
towns voting in favor of the amend- 
ment were few, one of them being 
Manchester, the summer home of 
many wealthy people, which voted 
for suffrage by more than two to 
ene.” 
The facts are quite the reverse; 
Manchester voted Yes, 148; No, 350. 
The number against suffrage in Man- 
chester was greater, pro rata, than in 
most of the towns and cities of the 
Commonwealth. 
our cause it is just. And this is our 
motto—in God is our trust.” The 
Antis trust in man! 
With renewed thanks, 
LourE R. Stanwoop. 
Manchester. 
P. S—A Gloucester lady said a 
very bright thing when the Antis 
made their touching statement that 
“the men had stood by the women.” 
She said, —“Stood in front of them, 
you mean!”
