MUCH SCRATCHING AT CLEVELAND.
Election Officers Surprised at the Big
Vote for Jones.
Dispatch to The Evening Star

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND. Ohio. November This
Is the most perfect election day Ohio has
ever experienced, and every indication now
points TO the largest vote ever cast in
state election. In this city half the vote
was cast before II o'clock.
Two surprises awaited the election Off
GERS on the opening of the polls. One was
the rush Of voters to cast their ballots early
and the other was the few straight bal
lots that are being cast. Voting in nearly
all the city precincts was heavier d1ring
the first two hours after the polls were
opened than ever known before, and in
many of the voting booths voters had TO
wait several minutes before being given Il
chance TO mark their ballots. This was
partly due to the time that nearly every
voter took In marking his ballot, which
showed that the straight party tickets that
We're cast were few and far between. Many
Of the voters took the full time allowed,
five minutes in marking ballots.
The claim that the Jones movement mas
been on the wane for the past week Vas
not borne out by appearances at tie polls.
Many voters put d cross opposite jones
neme and cast the remainder of he votes
for a straight republican or democrat
ticket, according to their politics. Voters
placed no reliance upon the eleventh hour
rumOr that Jones had Withdrawn from the
race The use of money was noticeable in
various parts Of the city, especially The
down town precincts.
Several soldiers who had returned from
the Philippines and who had failed 10 reg
lister went to the polls to vote, but were
not allowed TO cast their ballots They COM
planned bitterly Of not being able to Vote
but the election board said there was no
way under the law in which any one could
vote who had failed register by o'clock
last evening. The tremendous vote for
Jones in this city at noon is the feature
of the election so far. Democrats are max
ing herculean efforts to carry the county.
They have assigned three men and two car
riages TO each ward, and are going TO
bring out every possible voter available.
The returns will be very late in coming in
by reason of the mixed tickets which are
being cast Jones people are jubilant. re-
pubIicans are confident and democrats are
hopeful.
At 1 O'Clock Senator Hanna voted a
straight republican ticket. He remarked
that the weather was republican weather
and that all signs were favorable to Judge
Nash. There was an avalanche of ballots
during the noon hour.

PROSPERITY IN HAWAII.
increasing business Since the Is
lands Were Annexed.

iands were Annexed.
Mr.. S. NJ. Ballou, for four years a resi-
dent Of Honolulu, is in the city on private
business. Mr.. Ballou left Hawaii October
s, and reports that business is thriving
there.
Ever since the annexation of the islands
to the United States" said Mr. BaIlou.
business has prospered in Hawaii. This
prosperity has been the result of conf
dence In the future of the islands resulting
from annexation. Capital has sought in
vestment there and every one is feeling
that the outlook for the future is encourage
ing.
Il am frequently asked whether the is
lands are good place for a man TO go.
My answer has been that If one has cap
ital to invest he will find favorable oppor-
tunities there, but If not he will be better
off in this country. 1t must be remembered
that the island is settled and there is no
such condition there as was found in the
west when it was being settled up. 1t
should be remembered that in 40, when
California was being invaded by the gold
seekers, many of these men sent their chill
dren to Hawaii to be educated. That indi-
Gates the settled character of Hawaii
which had good schools as early as 1880.
A young man looking for work is not apt
to meet satisfactory results in Hawaii. He
is better off here"
Mr.. Ballou said he thought the natives
of the islands who have business interests
are consoled by annexation on account of
improved conditions. While there are some
dissatisfied people there, they are merely
the class of diScontentS who are to be
found everywhere.
