Mr. Stone was now Uvea In Cleveland, O. He has beej satlon since the death of Grand Chief WrnwgM WiJJ Vpti Two We Washington, D. C., Oct. 22.?In the general election two weeks from today women will vote In six States, 1 California, Washington, Idaho, Col' orado, Wyoming and Utah, a fact which campaign managers of the various .parties have taken Into conl aideratlons to give Its official stamp , of approval to the equal suffrage movement, the Republican and Dem. ocratic leaders have shown their appreciation of the importance of that, movement by enlisting the services of j women workers with an eye to the . result in the alx States in which women have been granted the full rights of the franchise. Theae alx 8tates have a total representation in the electoral college of 38 votes, divided as follows: California 13, Colorado 7. Idaho 4, Utah 4. Washington 7, Wyoming 3. 4 r According to the last census California has a total of 671,386 women eligible to vote. For the other five States the figures are as follows: follows: Colorado. 213,425; Utah. 85,729; Washington, 277.727; Idaho, ' 69.818; Wyoming, 28.840. That the choice of a President and Vice-Preaident of the United States . in the coming election may depend upon the votes of the women in the six States named is easily within the range of possibllitiee. To prove the irnth of this statement it Is but necessary to cite the fact that's!* residents of the United 8taV?s wort, elected by a smaller number of voles r 'than those which woman suffrage r States will control la the next eleci toral college. Statistics show that Presidents . Adams, Jefferson, John Quincy 1 Adams. Taylor, Hayed* an?f Cleveland - were elected by a majority of thirty, j seven votes or leas. In 1796 John Adams defeated Thomas Jefferson by two votes. In 1800 Thomas JefTerson i and Aaron Burr each received 173 s votes. The choice then devolved npon - the house of representatives, with the result that Jefferson was elected. THOM d of Education ^ ^ ^ t*j^. 1 Jf I ^ flOLlNA.

In 1840 Zachery Taylor defeated Lewis Case by just 26 votes. In 1876 Rutherford B. Hayes defeated Samuel J. TUden by one, vote, and in 1884 Orover Cleveland defeated James G. Blaine by 37' votes. In addition to the six States in which women h&ve been given the right of limited suffrage. Id fact, there are in the United States today only nineteen States which have no form of suffrage for women, and even In some of those there are cities in which women have the right to vote for school officials and on tax matters. The nineteen States are Nevada, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia. Maryland, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is iauu suu naioe. Kentucky already has felt the entering wedge and before the presidential election in 1916 it is very likely that half a dozen or more States will have adopted woman suffrage, in addition to the six now on the roll. In the election two weeks from today the voters of Oregon Kansas. Michigan, Wiconsln and Arizona will vote on the adoption of constitutional amendments granting the full rights of suffrage to women. The equal suffrage leaders are confident that out of theBe five States some are bound to slip through In spite of all the opowents can do. and a good many thousand voters of the "weak, er" sex will he added to the present million and a quarter after November 6. 80 far the equal suffrage cause has scored (its greatest victories in the far west.

LAUGHINGflOUSE DIEDJAST NICfll Another one of Washington's land marks and highly esteemed cltlzeni in the person ot Mr. Wyatt L. Laugh tnghouse, fell peacefully on sleep at his residence on West Second Btreet last night, between 11 and 12 o'clock While Mr. I^aughingbouse had onlj been confined to his bed for the past four or five days he has been a suf, farer for over two years past. Notwithstanding his incurable disease h? engaged In active work and was en ergetlc to the very last. The deceas ed was a man of many friends?pos< sesslng a wide circle of friends, anc the news of his death will be received all over the County of Beaufort witl genuine regret. He first beheld th? beauties of God's handiwork on Jun< 14, 1841, being born near Grimes land, Pitt county. When quite a bo: he attended the noted N. C. Hughei School at Chocowinity, where ho re celved the foundation training for af tre life. While attending this school the call to arms was heard all ovei the South and Mr. Laughinghousc was among the very first to offer hit services to his country and State. He followed the fortunes of the South all through the war between the States and up to the time of his death was more than proud of his record No braver soldier ever shouldered a musket. He gloried in the "Losl Cause" and what it stood for. On February 21, 1877, he wa! happily married to Miss Mary A, Latham, who survives him. For years he engaged in the mercantile business at the stand now occupied by Mrs. W. S. Frizzle; later on he engaged in other pursuits and for years followed farming near Whar. tons, N. C. Besides a heartbroken widow the deceased leaves the following children to mourn their loss: Samuel L. Laughlnghouse. Mrs. C. H. Richard von. Miss Mattle Laughlnghouse, Thomas L LaughinghouBe, of this city; Mrs. J. I. Leary, of Atlanta, M. K.

The funeral will take place from St. Peter's Episcopal Church tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock and the Interment will be in Oakdale cemetery. The Daily News extends sympathy to the bereaved. GREAT FOOTBALL CAME HERE1EIT FRIDAY Great football is expected to be played here on next Friday evening at the Fleming Park, when the High School team of this city and the team from Wilmington will try conclusions. Although the present team of the High School has not as yet faced a worthy antagonist they are confident of victory In the "coming contest.

It Is believed, and a vote on the matter waa taken this summer, the cauae was defeated. It la believed, and not without reason, that the result in the Buckeye Sthte will influence the vote soon to be taken in Michigan and Wisconsin. In Wisconsin the suffragists are fighting hard and have strong hopen of success. It la generally conceded, however, that Kansas is more liqely to adopt the amendment than la any of the other States in which the matter fa to be voted on next month. The woman suffrage movement her made leas of an impression or the old South, so far as practical results are concerned, than on an? other section of the country.

" NET? "flMLUN FORI SOYS I 1 New York, Oct. 22.?Governor W1 96n stiH well In the lend! ? Mr. Roosevelt second. President Taft third, but makini . gains in many parts of the country. These are the relatives positions ti I the great presidential race as indicat I ed by the New York Herald's canvas j of the nation, and with election onlj , 15 days off. s Each of the three principal rlvali . for this great office is gaining ii r some sections. All are losing ii , some. President Taft has mad< . marked advances in some sections o . the far West. He has made furthei II gains in Pennslyvania. The Kepub . licans in several states have replac , ed indifference with activity, and an , making a real campaign for theii t nominee. This sudden reversal o ( form on the part of organization mar f agers has greatly stiffened up tb< , Taft men and given them new hope Colonel Gains in Illinois. i Mr. Roosevelt haB made gains ir . Illinois where he leads and where ht has developed much strength. He if , holding his own in practically all the states wnere he led last week. Gov, ernor Wilson has gained also, but, ot . the whole, has Just about held hif own. This is accounted for by the , theory that he had a "flying start' , and could not be expected to increase his lead. In a nutshell, the situation, as ret vealed by the New York Herald's 200.000 onri moi-o *aat v... i i ~ ? -> re porta from scores of correspondents, Is as follows: Governor Wilson has touchea his high mark. Mr Roosevelt has reached the flood tide and is slightly ebblng. President Taft ?s making "Sympathetic" Vote Small From what can be learned, the attempted assassination of Mr. Roose. velt will not greatly strengthen him. Indications are that there will be an additional sympathetic or sentimental vote for him in many sections, but not sufficient to be of material aid. One result, however, which is highly Important from the Roosevelt point of view, is that the attack upon him has braced up wavering "bull moosers" as they term themselves, and they are backir e the nominee. Mr. Roosevelt, with new enthusiasm. MISS N. E. PEEL WEDS MR. CHARLES HAMILTON A beautiful home wedding was solemnised today when Miss N. E. Peele. of this city, was happily married *.?

In polls made in imrty-two states ' Governor Wilson led in 27. Mr. Roosevelt in 4 and the President in 1 (Wyoming.) The four in which Mr. Roosevelt took the lead are Illinois. Michigan, Idaho and Washington. On the surface it would appear that ! the margin between the President ; and first place is too wide to be overcome. It would appear also that he ' has considerable distance to go to be assured of second place. In-the first table of per eentagt-s i he was 9 points behind Mr. Roosevelt On the second ballot be was 8 points behind, and in the last ballot thus for taken he was points behind. Inquiries during the week do not disclose any great spread of feeling among Republicans that the Presi. dent cannot be elected, and that, therefore to assure the defeat of Mr. , Roosevelt they would vote for Governor Wilson. That spirit still prevails in some states, but it has giv. ' en way in others to a belief that the President stands a hare chance of victory.
