e ladies voted and were not molested.

Only a few women voted on Tuesday evening at the election for
school trustees in the first district of Southfield, Staten
Island. When the poll was opened Judge John G. Vaughan, the
retiring trustee, presided. A motion was made to reelect him by
acclamation. Amid great confusion Judge Vaughan put the motion
and declared it carried. Then Officers Fitzgerald and Leary had
to take charge of the meeting to preserve order, and Judge
Vaughan's opponents withdrew, threatening proceedings to have the
election declared invalid. Abram C. Wood was elected school
trustee in the West New Brighton (S. I.) district by 69 majority,
which included the votes of eight of eleven women present. Other
women promised to vote if Mr. Wood needed their support. Mr.
Robert B. Minturn presided.
