CALIFORNIA VOTE TS HEAVY Railway Commission Amend ment Probably Wins. WOMEN ACTIVE AT POLLS Southern: California Gives MaJorltj lit Favor of Fair Sex, but Cities Overcome Lead John son Idea Prevails. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 10. With re turns from little more than one-tenth of the state at hand, . the Indications early tonight were that California to day had refused to grant equal suf frage to women, but had by emphatic vote adopted the Initiative and refer endum and the recall, the latter in cluding the Judiciary, as part of its organic law. Twenty-three proposed amendment! to the constitution of the common wealth were voted upon today. Of these the three mentioned and the pro posal to make the State Railway Com mission an appointive body and em powering the Legislature to, enlarge greatly the powers of the board, over shadowed In public Interest all the rest. The last-named amendment also, ac cording to early returns, has been car ried. Two-third Vote Needed. 'On all a two-third vote waa neces sary for adoption. Returns up to i o'clock showed 8635 votes for woman suffrage, with 890S against. The ini tiative and referendum on the othe hand showed a favorable vote of 10, sio. with but SS10 against, while tha recall, notwithstanding the bitter fight made against it by many leading Re publican papers, was favored with even more emphasis, 11,280 votes being re corded In its favor and S487 against. The Railroad Commission amendment was favored by a vote of 8170 for and 4683 against. Southern California voted heartily In favor of granting suffrage to women, probably by at least 8000. But In San Francisco and other bay counties and in the northern district the men evi dently considered that the ballot was a dangerous thing to be placed in the hands of women, and in some of the counties, notably San Francisco, a ma jority was polled against the proposed amendment. Governor Wins Victory. Today's election carried to a conclu sion the campaign for reform measures started by Governor Johnson and tha last Legislature, which waa over whelmingly "progressive" Republican. Johnson's election and the election of the Legislature followed the adoption by the state of the direct primary law. Governor Johnson stumped the state in advocacy of the proposed constitu tional amendments. The unique feature of the campaign was the prominence which the ques tion of women suffrage took. It was thought when the campaign started that the recall, with the Judiciary in volved, and the Initiative and refer endum would engross public attention. But the enthusiasm with which the women of the state entered into th campaign for woman suffrage prao tlcally made that question overshadow everything else during i.he closing days.
