New Jersey Votes Down Woman Suffrage Amid Defeat
In New Jersey the suffrage drive failed at the polls with a statewide majority against the constitutional amendment. Early unofficial returns from key districts and counties indicated a decisive defeat by 50,000 to 60,000, with Cape May likely for the measure and Passaic, Essex, and Mercer counties voting against. Suffrage leaders planned new strategy to back legislators who would permit voting for presidential electors next spring.
