called seeking to talk with him, but to all
he sends a polite declination. His home

other citizens. The day opened with
cold drizzling rain. A cold wind set in
making it all in all the most disagreeable
day of the season thus far. Large crowds
surround all the voting places, great deal
of challenging being done, but everything
quiet. The rain had ceased shortly
before 2o'clock. Two men wearing fall over
coats with collars turned up walked quiet

polling place. 1t was General Harrison
and his son Russell. The chute being open
when the general arrived he walked up to
the window and in the quietest possible
manner handed in his ballot. As the in
spector dropped the paper in the box he
called out the name, "Benjamin HARRISON"
and the clerks responded number 2S7."
Russell Harrison did not vote, he being a
citizen of Montana. After the general had
voted the crowd gathered about him and
short season of handshaking took place.
