Out Early.

Boston. Nov. 3,--In every city and
town in Massachusetts,, voters are cast
ing their ballot for all state and coun-
~ Offices and members Of the legis-
lature. The campaign was one of the
hardest fought in the history of state
politics IN a decade, The polls opened
throughout the state at a. m. The
campaign managers Of both parties had
instructed the district leaders to get
the vote out MS early as possible ana
there was great activity.
AS In all Massachusetts elections the
Australian ballot Is used, II was i'm
possible to tell how the voting was go
ing. II was conceded that the Demo-
Gratis would carry Boston, but the size
OF their plurality was a matter on
which both sides disagreed to the
extent of many thousands votes Both
parties expressed confidence OF carrying
the state for governor, though the DEM
ocrats admitted that II would not be
easy to overcome the $4,000 plurality re-
celved by Gov, Bates, the Republican

Lively in the Tenderloin Though
Officers DO Good Work.

Challenges were used freely in Dis
trict 81, the stronghold of Bruce John
son, and several votes were thrown out.
Up to noon there had been l0l votes
cast, out OF that number there were
about dozen challenges. Early in the
morning two drunken men presented
themselves at the polls and wanted to
vote. They could not tell where they
lived or how long they had been In the
city. They finally told the judges that
they came down here from Alta and
wanted to vote. Their names were not
on the registration list so they were
shown the door. and later were taken to
the police station and charged with
drunkenness
SKIPPED QUICKLY.
Joseph j. Nicholas. who gave his res
idence as the Imperial rUomng house,
was challenged by the Democratic chal-
enger on the ground that he has not
resided in the state and city long
enough. Before he could be questioned
as to his right to vote he left the polls
and was not arrested. His name was
on the registration list, but II Is spre-
sumed that he decided not TO exercise
his right to vote and thought IL advis-
able TO get out Of the way before he
was questioned TOO closely. W. IL,
Clayton was also challenged on the
same ground and refused to swear his
vote In, so the challenge was sustained
and he was not allowed to vote.

Es1ABRook SEES SUCCESS.

IF the assurances ana predictions OF
Well-known and leading republican pol
iiicians in the Fifth congressional dis
lrict are to be believed. Mr.. 6. X. Esta-
brook of Marshalltown, will be the
unanimous choice of Fifth district
delegates for member of the state CEN
trail committee to succeed Hon. II. NJ.
Sargent, of Grundy Center. Not all or
the county delegates have yet been
chosen. but Mr.. Es.abrook has been so
we'll and favorably known to republic
ans of the district as an active party
worker that his candidacy for this
place has been fairly welcomed by
them.
Membership on the state central
committee is purely working position
That committee has to DO with the par
ty organization and the campaign work
regardless of what set of men control
conventions or what faction captures
Mr. Estabrook is more peculiarly htteo
than. perhaps. almost any other repup-
lican. He has been interchangeable in his
work for the party as chairman OF the
Marshall county comritee for three
successive terms. During that time
Marshall county had her factionai dis
putes. but Estabrook was always found
acting fair and just, and it is safe to
say that, should he come up for that
position again today, all factions in
this county would accept Estabrook
without fear or hesitation.
1t is impossible as yet to predict
where Estabrook's strength would be
among the delegates should there be
contest for the reason that. SO far, there
has been no other aspirant announced.
But the friends of Estabrook in Grundy.
Benton, Linn and Cedar counties have
been so enthusiastic as TO lead his Mar
shall county friends to believe that
those counties would stand by him re-
gardless. The other counties have re-
ceived him cordially and at present
there is every indication that the Fifth
district is going to appear in the
next state convention as a happy
