most remarkable thing is the increase In
the vote cast over last year and two years
ago. All reports received indicate the
heaviest vote ever cast in the state. The
weather has been disagreeable in many
parts Of the state. but 1t probably has not
decreased the vote. The interest taken
has been so intense that no unfavorable
weather could keep the people from voting.
