Washington. Nov. st is seldom that
any day opens without a drop of rain
fall anywhere within the area of the
United States Such is the remarka bic
condition this morning.
With the exception of cloudiness over
southern Wisconsin, northern Illinois

pleasant temperatures everywhere. The
showery condition which yesterday COW
cred New York and New England has
moved away as was expected and all
portions OF New York and New Eng
land are therefore certain to have fine
weather during the day.
The cloudiness previously referred to
as being in Iowa and contiguous states
Is the result OF a storm forming over
western Iowa, which probably will re-
suit in the beginning of precipitation
late tonight OF tomorrow in Iowa the
central Mississippi valley and upper lake
region, but the weather doubtless will
remain fair until after the closing of the
polls. WILLIS L MOORE,
