to the Federal Amendment. So I thought I would signalize
the occasion by answering the circular Mrs. Wadsworth has sent
broadcast asking people to "consider a few facts about the woman
suffrage victory in New York." Here are some other facts to
consider:

There were only three assembly districts in Manhattan where the
suffrage amendment did not poll over a thousand more votes than
the Socialists polled. Even in these three suffrage got an
average of 600 more votes than the Socialist candidate got. In
the 4th district suffrage had the advantage of the Socialists by
551 votes; in the 6th it got 600 more votes than Socialism got;
in the 8th it got 656 more. In the 12th, a typical district,
where the Socialists got only 1,822 votes, suffrage got 5,480. In
my own district, the 9th, suffrage and Fusion ran almost neck and
neck, suffrage polling 5,911, Fusion, 5,578; the Socialists
polled only 977. In Brooklyn the 14th, 19th and 23rd assembly
districts are accounted the Socialists' strongholds. In all three
suffrage ran ahead of Socialism. In the 14th suffrage polled a
"yes" vote of 4,052, the Socialists 3,142; in the 19th suffrage
polled 3,608, the Socialists 3,037; in the 23rd suffrage polled
5,060, the Socialists 3,992.

Considering the suffrage vote in Greater New York in comparison
with the vote for Mayor, suffrage polled a "yes" vote of 335,959,
the Socialist candidate only 142,178. The Fusion candidate polled
149,307; the Republican, 53,678; the Democratic, the successful
one, 207,282. Suffrage, therefore, polled 38,677 more affirmative
votes than did the successful candidate. No candidate for Mayor
was in the class with the amendment, though all were for
suffrage.

Others prominent in the suffrage movement, both men and women, made
indignant protest against Mrs. Wadsworth's accusation and pointed to
the splendid organized work of the National Suffrage Association in
cooperation with the Government from the very beginning of the war.

During this week of the convention the Federal Prohibition Amendment
made its triumphant passage through the House, having already passed
the Senate, and the suffragists saw the bitterest opponents of their
amendment on the ground of State's rights throw this doctrine to the
winds in their determination to put through the one for prohibition.
