WEATHER Was SUPURB
Election Day Was an Idea One
Everywhere.
VOTERS EARLY AT THE POLLS

In All the Principal Cities of the United
states the Vote Was Heavy and Intense
interest Was Manifested in the Election
All the Saloons Closed at ChIcaeo-No
Reports OF Disturbances OF a seriou. Nat.
ure Anywhere.
chicago, Nov. 4.--Clear sky and
bright sunshine were the favorable
auspices with which election day
opened Tuesday morning. More than
half' and in some localities nearly
two-thirds of the entire vote had been
cast before IL o'clock. Very little
scratching was being done. the large
majority of voters fearing to lose their
vote by attempting to split the ticket.
Before the polls were opened the vot-
ers had begun to gather. They came
before $3.50 o'clock and before 6 there
were lines waiting in nearly every pre-
cinct In the city. The early vote was
particularly heavy In the wards where
the labor vote Is strong. At some
points, such as Pullman and the west
ern half OF the Twenty-third and Fiji
teenth wards. the crowds were too
large to be accommodated on the side
walks and overfiowed into the street.
All the saloons Closed.
The Pullman works were closed so as
to give all employees ample opportunity
to vote. On account of the size of the
ballot the process OF marking and de-
posting them was rather slow, but no
serious delays were reported, and q
disposition was manifested to expedite
matters as far as practicable. A dis
position TO comply with the provisions
of the election law was manifested In
all quarters OF the city. The saloons
were closed, and the instances i'm which
'side-door" schemes were worked were
very few. The provision of the Aus
tralian election act forbidding any So
liciting or electioneering within 100 feet
of the pools was strictly adhered to.
The police were given strict instruc-
tions on this matter before they start
ed out, and members of both party or
ganzations insisted on its enforce
ment.
Bloomington. Il'~ Nov. 4.-The
weather was delightful following the

tories closed for the day and a heavy

didate.
Omaha. Neb.. Nov. 4.-Election day
dawned bright and clear. The voters
did not appear ia rise early. the ter
ribie struggle of Monday night, in
which the majority of both parties par
ticipated, appearing to have exhausted
even the most active. The close of the
first hour saw the, voters coming In a
little faster. Many wore their decora-
tions of the night before. not having
retired during the night Both sides
were literally supplied with workers
at the polls, all watching keenly for
any chance to challenge the known
sympathizers of one or the other side.

registered ninety-seven ballots had
been cast at $50 o'clock. In another
precinct, out of 2l2 registered, eighty
four had voted by o'clock. Party
leaders and watchers at the polls were
making all sorts of claims as to what
the early vote meant. The Bryanites
claimed that the early vote was the
labor, and that IL was going for their
candidate. The Republicans on the 9TH
err hand saw in the rush the desire OF
the people to lose no time I'm asserting
that they were for the Republican
ticket and platform.
The early voting I'm Brooklyn was un-
usually large. Something like 35 per
cent of the registered voters OF the city
had cast their ballots by 9 o'clock. and
the indications pointed TO the total vote
of the day being considerably larger
than that which was cast four years
ago.
