Pcnn Yan, Nov. C. James Monroe Lown, who was elected by the Republicans ns member of the State Assembly to-day, is a graduate of Penn Yan High School, Hamilton College and Harvard Law School. He began the practice of law in Rochester-and returned to Penn Yan during the early part of 1916, where he is engaged in the practice of law and in IIANDREWS ST.

Some of the towns lika Corning and Hornell were repotted to huve gone quite strongly for suffrage, bin the majority of reports were the other way. The two cities mentioned were a little more than S0O in favor of suffrage, and Geneva was just about as strong against it.

A strong effort was made by the suffragists in Western New York, nd at the same time the antls staged mire lively demonstrations. While the "cause" went down to defeat, so far as this section is concerned, again, it is only fair to say thnt the opposition was much lighter than two years ago. If it had not been for the unties of the "picketers" in Washington it is by no means certain that there would have been another story, for thus aiitics are declared 4o have angered many who were at least neutral in the matter and made them bitter opponents. Alterations Free. The cider question which was precipitated into the fight almost at the last minute served to complicate matters a gotru bit, but if it had any real effect on the result, it is not apparent in the early returns.

But there is another feature of the battle that does find a strong echo in the returns. It was said to be a part of the plan of the pro-liquor forces to try and get that part of the question applying to drug-store licenses passed, even if the saloon and hotel sections failed. It was argued that in such a case, the town would not be 'bone-dry' and so the prohibtion against having liquor in a private home would not apply. At any rate it will be seen that a number of the towns have voted out saloons and hotels and for drug-store licenses. There were a number hot fights, but one of the hottest was that in Newark, 'Wayne county.

Both sides claimed the victory to the last, and while on the first report the drys, have won on. the saloon and hotel proposition, it is so close that the soldier vote could overthrow it.

All other Republican candidates were elected in this city except 5ue alderman, David Murphy, in 'the Second ward. So far as the counting of the Tote indicated at a late hour, all toarns voting on the excise propositions, Bloom licld, Phlns. (iorham. South Bristol added materially to the advantage already in their possession. For Attorney-General Lewis it was a great day in this section of the state, ltarely has a candidate been tendered such an expression of confidence as came to him from the farms and villages and cities of Western New York.

Even in places not always counted safely Republican, he carried the day. A very large majority of the choices for member of Assembly were Republicans. Jn some instances the vote was close, and there are some that it may require the count of the soldier vote to settle. So far as the smaller towns were concerned, the Socialist vote remained, as in former years, a negligible quantity. In some of the larger ones it showed a slight increase over other years, but nothing of consequence.

Boards of supervisors in the counties of this region will all be Republican by comfortable and some of them by a very large margin. In the case? of some of the minor town offices there was favor shown to Democrats for local, and In some cases personal reasons, but even in this case where personality played a larger part, the majority of places were won by Republicans.
