ELECTION DAY IN THE STATE
Heavier vote is Being POlIed Than

Committee.

LINCOLN, Nov. 7.-Good election weather
prevails over nearly all Nebraska, condi-
lions being especially fine in the eastern
part of the state. Less than an average
vote is expected, but the balloting will be
heavier than was looked for a week ago.
Election returns from voting precincts in
Nebraska show that the early voting was
heavier than campaign managers had ex-
pected owing to the bright skies and the
inability Of farmers to work in their muddy
cornfields. The republicans claim that more
straight republican ballots are being cast
than usual and that their plurality will be
larger proportionately than it was last year.
