COUNTY GOES REPUBLICAN

Welsh, Malone, and Baxter Elected Assemblymen and Patton Sheriff — Van Wormer Re-elected Supervisor in Guilderland — Constitutional Amendments Buried and Woman Suffrage Badly Defeated — Barge Canal Appropriation Was Carried

Six of Seven Towns in Albany County Voting on License Go Wet — Coeymans Only One to Vote Dry — Knox Again in the “Wet” List — H. J. G. Fox of Delanson Carried Every District For Supervisor Over Ex-Senator H. White in Town of Duanesburg

Woman suffrage was beaten by a majority of about 200,000 and the revised state constitution rejected by approximately 400,000 in the election Tuesday. The Barge Canal appropriation, however, was carried.

Returns from 4,009 election districts out of 5,713 in the state on suffrage gave 406,877 for it and 555,476 against. In 3,338 out of the 5,173 election districts in the state the vote on the constitution was 239,214 for and 522,542 against.

“DRYS” GAIN THREE SCHOHARIE TOWNS

Schoharie County on Tuesday added three of its townships to the dry column of New York State townships. Cobleskill, Middleburgh, and Seward voted for no-license by majorities ranging from 45 to 190. There are now twelve towns in the county which have rejected the license.

Schoharie town remained wet by a majority of 17 and Richmondville by 35. Blenheim and Fulton again defeated the “wets,” leaving Schoharie, Richmondville, Sharon, and Wright the only wet ones.

The Democrats re-elected Assemblyman E. A. Dox of Richmondville by 150 or more.

MARITAL WAVES BUFFETED JOSLIN

Voorheesville Man Started Divorce Action Against Wife, But She Won Counter-Suit

The buffeting waves of the marital sea indulge in many strange caprices at times, but very infrequently do they know about Cupid’s derelicts in the manner they treated Courtney R. Joslin of Voorheesville. Joslin instituted an action against his wife Cora for absolute divorce, but in the end was divorced himself by the woman he would have proved untrue to him. An interlocutory decree, with alimony, was granted to Mrs. Joslin last week by Supreme Court Justice Chester in chambers.

Joslin’s troubles began in January last when his wife was sick. Immediately that she was taken to her bed he became solicitous of her health and declared he was going to get a woman to “help about the house.” The woman came and in the wife’s complaint is named as the co-respondent.

Joslin had started divorce proceedings, naming no specific instances of alleged infidelity of his wife. But Mrs. Joslin also started divorce proceedings and she is successful. The woman Joslin brought to Voorheesville to help his wife is an Albany woman, whose name could not be ascertained.

The Joslins were married at Guilderland, May 17, 1905, by the Rev. Arthur H. Winn, who is also a brother of Mrs. Joslin.
