Election results show states shift away from progressive vote
Ohio defeats prohibition by about 40000 as Bryan campaigns in the state. Massachusetts reelects the Republican ticket and rejects woman suffrage by a large margin. Kentucky gains one Republican congressman, Virginia eyes prohibition, and Pennsylvania remains strongly Republican on local matters. Philadelphia elects a Republican mayor by a 60000 majority and again defeats woman suffrage. Cheyenne and Sheridan reveal shifts in local power, with commissions and city leadership changing hands. Later reports note women’s suffrage was not as badly defeated in New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. A hunting trip near Pahaska ends with a mountain sheep kill after a four day journey in a Davis car. Smith and Preather buy into oil drilling, targeting new wells for the Northwestern Refining company.
