Chicago. Nov. 2.-The public must be

borne in mind that hitherto in presiden-
tial elections New York has been a
pivotal state and that the polls closed
there at o'clock in the afternoon, the
telegraph facilities were of the highest
order and the difference in time be-
tween that city and the west enabled
the Associated Press to practically de-
termine the result of the election be-
fore midnight. This year interest will
center chiefly in the STATES west of the
Alleghenies and particularly in states
west Of the Mississippi Much of the
advantage of time is lost.
As a rule the polls will close at
later hour and the Geographic facilities
are comparatively limited. In the state
of Illinois there is a provision for
amending the state constitution and in
Chicago another for the issue of local
bonds. both of which under the law
must be counted first and this viii
necessarily involve some delay. It is
needless to say that every effort will be
