Different Parts of State.

The election is in progress in the
goes to press, with nothing definite as
to the result of the voting, although at
republican headquarters it is believed
the whole state, county, city and pre-
cinct ticket will go through with good
majoritites, with the loss of not a
single candidate The workers are
busy, but there is satisfaction in the
faces of the republicans and detection
in the democratic ~countenances. The
vote this afternoon is indicated in a
table printed below, together with the
number of registered voters in each
of the seven precincts in the city.
In nearly all the precincts of the city
the voting was started nearly on time,
at 8 o'clock, and the polls are ex-
pected to close at 5 o'clock.
Generally Fair Weather.
The weather in the city has been
ideal, with hardly a cloud, and at noon
almost like a summer day. The re-
ports from over the state are hat fair
weather prevails, except at Evanston,
where a storm is raging. There is
!! sunshine in most of the cities of the
| state.
There was some trouble in the West
Laramie precinct this morning in get
ting a polling place, but the matter
was finally adjusted and the voting
proceeded. The owner of the premises
first selected refused to allow the
booths to be erected there. There was
no difficulty in the city, the polls be-
ing opened at the places previously
announced.
Good Vote Coming Out.
There was some complaint during
the forenoon that the voting was slow
and that the vote in some of the pre-
cincts would be light, but during the
afternoon the voters paid attention
and the number is now satisfactory.
The judges and clerks were furnished
luncheon at the polling places and
there was no cessation of voting.
The banks and saloons we're closed
during the day, and the university and
public schools are also closed. The
fourth precinct polling place has been
established at the East Side school, on
the first floor, in the southeast corner
of the building.
Rivalry Among Judges.
The counting of the vote is expected
to begin at 5 o'clock, and there will be
some rivalry among the judges and
clerks of the different precincts as to
which will complete their labors first.
The fourth precinct, with only 1913
votes registered, hopes to capture the
first place, the judges and clerks
boasting hat they will be the winners
with time to spare.
