jutant general Of the expected depart

than six officers i'm the entire depart
ment to sit on the Curry court. The
great scarcity OF officers i'm the depart
ment of the Gulf in spite of the fact
that several regiments are at present
stationed i'm the department is caused
partly by the existence Of two other
special court -martials in the South and
also by the fact that the regiments
leaving for the Philippines and Cuba
carry fun quotas Of officers.
The fact that no officers were avail
able in the department was wired

In The Wards.

In the First ward at l o'clock today
quite good vote had been polled, and
il compared more than favOrably with
that cast at the same time last year,
being somewhat in excess. Voters be-
gan to come in early in the morning,
particularly i'm the First district. and
the polling was kept up steadily
throughout the day In both districts.
At o'clock the total vote polled was
652, and this was very gratifying, for
the Republicans had polled fully the
proportion that was looked for.
The voters of the Second ward turn
ed out very generally in fact far ahead
of the same time last year, and at
o'clock 100 votes had been cast. Goo
gooism was not as much I'm evidence as
IL has been in former years, and, as
far as could be learned, the ballots
were being cast straightly for the re-
spective candidates. Constitutional
league candidates as such did not seem
To be quoted to any extent, and the
Republican voters were on deck in
much larger number than they were
last spring.
The vote I'm the Third ward while not
as heavy as was looked for during the
morning hours, and this is due To the
fact that the Democrats had not visited
the polls To any great extent up to
o'clock. The Republican vote Is turn
ing out we'll and many Democrats have
announced that they will give their
support to Governor Dyer because he
stuck to the soldier boys. many OF
whom live in the Third ward. No count

No Doubt Of Reelection Of Governor
Dyer and Other State Officers.
Assembly Ticket Safe.

Bright and clear weather had a most
decided effect upon today's election in
Providence. for during the early hours
Of the morning the voters came out in
large numbers, and there was every iE-
dication that the number Of stay-at-
homes would be very small. 1t was
particularly noticeable that by noon
time a large number of Republicans
had visited their respective polling
places, ard there lis no doubt that t<ss
fine weather had much to do with this
general turning out of the voters. On
every side and I'm every district, even
i'm the Third and Tenth wards, a de-
cided Republican victory was conceded
for the state ticket. the only question
at issue being the size of Gov. Dyer's
plurality.
As matters now stand there is every
indication that the full Republican city
assembly ticket will be elected, and
great deal of work is being put in by
the several ward organizations, and,
perhaps, never before has the system
been put upon such a sound basis as 1t
is this year. Contrary to the usual
custom there are very few of the work.
