President of W. C. T. U. Denies Cigaret and Drinking Habits Increase. SOUUDS WARNING. ON WINE CONTENTS OF WINE CUPS OF THE RICH JUST AS DEADLY AS THE BOOZE FOUND IN THE DINGY "JOINTS." ? Baltimore, Nov. 12. American womanhood was defended here today in the conference of the W. C. T. U. by Lillian N. Stevens, its national president, who denied that drinking and cigaret smoking among women was on the Increase In this country. In discussing the- convention Mrs. Stevens declared that the wine in the costly wine cup in the homes of the rich waa Just as deadly and dangerous as the alcohol in the dingy whiskey mug. "We are sometimes told that drink among women Is on the increase," said Mrs. Stevens. "But It can hardly be so' among; the outcasts and lower classes " for It was largely drink which brought them where they are. Alcoholic .beverages cannot Justly, even among women, be classed as a class drink, for alcohol in the costly wine cup la just as dangerous and deadly as In the dingy whiskey mug. A Few Smoke Pipes. "We are sometimes told that there Is much cigaret smoking among women. In the course of my travels in America and England, I nave never seen a woman with a cigaret except in certain localities of New Mexico, where the surroundings were not at all pleasant tp contemplate. There is reason to believe that some women In England do smoke cigarets and we are told that there are some in America of like habit. I have seen now and then a woman in a hovel smoking a pipe." .- Mrs. Stevents reviewed the agitation over the white slave traffic speaking of the city, state and federal attempts to stifle It. "It matters little whether the white slave traffic is organised or not," said she. "The fact that It exists in New York and elsewhere is sufficient to arouse humanity loving people. Without any exaggeration it Is appalling enough to arouse the most apathetic and Investigations In some cities have revealed that even little girls in their Infancy are iild into these dens of Iniquity." Mrs. Stevens spoke vigorously in favor of a constitutional amendment prohibiting polygamy in the United States. She asked that the convention adopt a resolution which can be sent to congress.

ABBOTT. DEFEI1DS BROTHER fOITOR The Outlook's Sage Says Col. Roosevelt Not Responsible for the Results.

HIS REVIEW OF ELECTION 8AY3 PEOPLE WERE INDIGNANT OVER HIGH PRICES AND BIG BUSINESS' MANIPULATION OF TARIFF BILL. New Ycrk. Nov. 12. Dr. Lyman Abbott, edttbr of the Outlook, of which Mr. Rccsevelt is a contributing editor. today gave out his (Dr. Abbott's) interpretation of the recent election embodied In an editorial to appear in the next issue of that publication. He gives these reasons for the Democratic landslide: t Popular dissatisfaction with present conditions, especially with the high ,',,. A x. prices; Indignation at the manifest control of the special interests of the tariff revision, and still more at the defenses and eulogies of the tariff bill; wratb at the corruption and the hypocritical pretenses disclosed in certain influential Republican circles, coupled with the forgetfullness of the fact that the exposure and the prosecution were furnished by Republicans; a growing conviction that there was an alliansce between the special in terests and the Republican oligarchy, with tthe belief that the easiest way to hit at It was by voting with the opposition; indifference in an election which to many voters appeared to be a contest rather between persons than between principals an impression which a too personal campaign tended to Increase; a general inclination In America to make a change in political control from time to time, an inclination which the political conditions , that prevailed in solid states does much to justify; some fears In certain quarters, not less politically effective because wholly undefined, lest the specter of radicalism should work havoc to. busifnetfr interests; th-fat!tmtrtbe Re publican party was .dlvided between the Insurgents and the regulars while the Democratic party, freed from the traditions of Cleveland and the personality of Bryan, was for the first time in years united. The Result in Indiana. "But I do not believe the election Indicates a reaction and revolution," he says. "The fact that in every state except Indiana, where there was a definite popular insurgent movement within the Republican party which succeeded in the election; that In every state except Pennsylvania, where there was no such movement within the party or ' where it failed, the Republican party failed in the election; that with the single exception of the senator from Indiana, no senator who was retired by failure to se cure either a renomlnauon or a reelection, represents the progressive element In the party; that of the governors elected a decided majority represent the progressive rather than the reactionary element in their respective parties, including such representatives of progressive thought as Woodrow Wilson .' on , the Atlantic Coast, and Hiram Johnson, on the Pacific; that the Insurgents are Insurgents no longer, but are recognized as leaders In the Republican party all Indicate that the election, which Is a signal triumph of the Democratic party. Is not a defeat of progressive principles, and does not indicate a decadence of the progressive spirit. Jask- '-Lantern Roosevelt. "Nor do I think that the jack-o'-lantern bugaboo of Mr. Roosevelt's imagined monarchical ambitions cut any considerable figure in the election. The fact that the greatest falling off in the Republican vote was In the state of Pennsylvania, where his voice was not once heard in tho- campaign is significant If not conclusive on that point. ,-.' , "The simple fact is that a Democratic triumph was publicly predicted

by both Democrats and Republicans for Jocal optlon. Democratic platform eight months ago, and was foresha- j declared for prohibition.. Republicans dowed by the enforced retirement '!were successful.

Messrs. Aldrich and Hale from the j senate and by the Maine election in September: Mr. Roosevelt was called in to save the situation; he responded to the call, but could not turn the tide. - . - "He did something more Important he heartened the progressives in his

PROHIBITION LOSES OUT IN SEVERAL STATES AND RESULT IN OKLAHOMA STILL IN DOUBT INDIANA OPTION LAW TO BE REPEALED? Cincinnati, Nov. 12. In the general election of last Tuesday the issues of local option and state-wide prohibition played a prominent part, and a general summary of the results Indicates that the liberal forces have gained much more than their leaders had anticipated. A general summary of the situation made by local interests affiliated with the liquor trade was made public yesterday, as follows: Alabama Emmet (X'Neal, Democrat, is elected Governor upon a local opition platform, thus defeating statutory i prohIb,ton. a legislature, Dsmocratle j in both branches, has been elected in harmony with the attitude of the governor. . Florida State-wide prohibition defeated by over 4,700 votes. County option prevails. Idaho Senate will likely be Democratic, and thereby Insure the defeat of the prohibition amendment. . Iowa Republican platform declared for continuance of the mulct law. Democratic platform favored .local option. Contest for governor extremely close. Result in Indiana. Indiana A Democratic Legislature has been elected. This means a repeal of county option and a return to town and city option, as pledged in the state Democratic platform. Kansas Stubbs, Republican, for governor, dragged the liquor question jinto the campaign, charging that his Democratic opponent was the candidate for the liquor Interests. Normal Republican plurality in Kansas is 40,000. Stubbs is re-elected by only 5,000 to 7.000. ,,'.. Missouri State-wide prohibition defeated by an overwhelming . majority. Minnesota Minnesota ia -now uader license. The contest was present conditions 'as against county option.' A Republican legislature has been elected, which is opposed to county option in both branches. New Hampshire A brief telegram j announces that two cities and several towns, formerly "dry," bad voted I "wet," and that the large Increase In j license vote was very satisfactory. Oklahoma Incomplete returns indi cate close vote, with chances in favor of return from prohibition to license. Ohio - As affecting the liquor mdustries. the contest in Ohio turned upon the' legislature and governor. In dications ' at this . time point to the election of a liberal legislature, which will restore to the towns and cities of the state the right of home rule, of which they are deprived under the present county -prohibition law. Harmon, for governor, was again victorious.. Oregon The last session "of the legislature in this state defeated statutory prohibition. Upon the referendum " It went to the people and the voters of Oregon sustained the legislature. - There was also submitted at the election this fall a measure providing for an option law, with the city as the unit inste'ad of the county. The city unit carried, so the situation as it now stands is that state-wide prohibition has been defeated; and the amendment changing the option law from county to city unit has been carried. Pennsylvania Berry, Prohibition, on Keystone ticket for governor, defeated by Tener, Republican, Liberal. South Dakota County option , defeated by 15.000. South Carolina Samuel Blease, Democrat, elected governor without opposition on a local option platform.

TO RETAIN OPTIOII

UD ISHIS PLAII Shumaker, Head of Anti-saloon League, Is Planning to Preserve Statute. MAKES AN EXPLANATION TELLING HOW THE LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES LED THE TICKETHE WILL START STATE-WIDE CAMPAIGN. . Indianapolis, Nov. 12. E. S. Shu maker has framed up a defi and hurl ed it at Steve Fleming. And he dares Fleming to accept the challenge which is the real stinger of the defi. Mr. Shumaker is the state superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League and hi? defi is as follows: "Steve Fleming says the election returns show conclusively that the voters of the state repudiated the , , ., . , ... . county local option law. If be is so strong in that belief, let him and .the rest of the brewers call a county option 'election In any county . in the state which voted dry at a county option election and 'n which the two years has expired. A county once voted dry under that law remains dry until it Is again voted wet, but a section election can not be held within two years. Steve Fleming has ' the right to call an election in any county in which the two years has expired. j We dare him to call such election in j any of these counties, either before jthe legislature convenes or' while it is in. session. The people will show bim that they do not want to get rid of the county option law,-if an .elec- ; tion is held independently of the po litlcal elections. Now. will Steve j Fleming ' accept this challenge? Not on your life, He will not dare to ae cept it." . . , Analyzes Returns. Shumaker says the returns '.from many counties show that the voters do not wish to repeal the local option law. He .points out-' that - -in - many places , the - Republican - legislative candidates' ran ' far ahead . of the Re publican state and congressional candidates, and 'since. most of the Republican candidates were "dry" men Shu1 maker says this fact does not show ttfat the people wero In .favor of re pealing the county option law. Senator Beveridge has also called attention to the fact that the legisla tive candidates on the Republican ticket ran ahead of the state and con gressional . tickets in many counties and hJa friendg ake the pon that this shows that Beveridge was stronger than the rest of the ticket. . Shumaker . said that the light -for temperance reform in Indiana bad just begun. He has arranged for a big temperance rally day in this city one week from next Sunday, when temperance meetings will be held in the morning and evening. In the afternoon there will be a big mass meet ing at Roberts Park Methodist church, addressed by George R. Stuart of Cleveland, Tenn., a- noted temperance orator. . These meetings will be addressed by anti-saloon league workers from several states, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Missouri. . F Will Use Petitions. These meetings, said Shumaker, will be the starting point of a campaign which ' will be carried on throughout the state by the anti-saloon league to bring such pressure to bear on the legislature as to prevent the repeal of the county option law. Petitions will be circulated in every nook and corner of the state for people to sign, urging the members of the legislature to vote against the repeal. In connection with this campaign the members of the legislature will be deluged with letters and telegrams and personal visits by people of their respective counties, all In the hope that the repeal may be headed off. Shumaker said he had not yet analyzed the makeup of the two houses of the legislature, but will do so in a day or - two, and - that he will then know just what kind of campaign to make. POLICE WERE BUSY j Last night was the busiest Saturj day night that has been experienced by the police department during the entire year.
