filed to-day. The polls opened af 6
o'clock a. m. Early reports from va
rlous sections showed that the vote at
the opening was generally up to the
average, but as the morning hours
passed the attendance at the polls con-
tinued strong and by o'clock there
We're prospects that tie total would
be high
In Boston a damp, foggy dawn was
a discoura ging feature, but BY s.
o'clock the sun had burned off the
mist and the weather was beautiful.
With a very heavy registration and
congressional contests in three dis
tricts in the city, as well as a deep in
terest in the local option issue, Boston
is expected to cast heavy vote.
Philadelphia, Nov Many voters
were waiting to cast their ballots when
the polling places opened at z o'clock
this morning. There was apparently
more interest taken in the election in
this city than had been expected BY
either of the leading parties. The re
publican workers are straini1lg every
effoEk to get out a big vote in Philadel-
phia in order to Offset a possible heavy
Pattison majority in the state at large.
There is no opposition here to the six
republican congressional candidates.

heavy vote was poIled in the early
morning hours and as far as could be

ideal. In the down town districts
where there is heavy floating popula-
ton, over so per cent of the total
registration had been voted before 10
o'clock. Former Senator David B.
Hill voted in the fourth district of the
ninth ward at S:27 a. m.
Chicago, Nov notwithstanding
drizzling rain early conditions indi-
Gated a heavy vote all over the CITY.
The chief interest centered in Con-
gressman Lorimer's district where ey-
cry effort was made to get out a
record vote. There was much evi-
dence of special tickets reported by
watchers throughout the city espec-
tally on candidates for county offices.
st Louis, Nov lin spite Of the
weather, which was cloudy and
threatening to-day, the polls were
early crowded with voters. The in
terest felt in certain issues that are
being fought out along party lines is
sure to bring out heavy vote on state, J
and county tickets.
Baltimore, Nd, Nov 4.-The polls
opened at 6 o'clock. The weather is
fair and mild Quiet prevails in city
and state, and the vote will be light on
account of the apathy. particularly in
the counties.
