they were needed.
Calls for more watchers were fire.
ouent, as well as complaints that some
workers were careless.
Precinct 135 had three workers, and
headquarters was notified that their
presence was unnecessary at that point.
These workers were then ordered to re-
mort to Major Nolan In precinct 80.
Worker Kennedy, in precinct 29, re-
ported two men there as doing nothing
but sitting around. He asked that
literature be sent him at 519 West Sixth
street, so that he could give the 1dlers
something to do.
Two workers who were unable TO get
to the polls early were conveyed IN
autos by the Democratic committee.
]. ], Fasching of 209 South Flower
street had an attack Of tonsilitis and
the doctor ordered him to remain In

building were the busiest spot west
of Broadway yesterday.
With most of the central committee
on duty there. or making hourly re-

The character of the reports showed
the Infinite details that go to make up
the closing moments of a campaign.
Precinct 143 sent in word that Re-
publican workers were perniciously
active within ten feet of the polling
places.
In precinct 1Os, at the rear Of 2S2
East Sixty-fourth street, no workers
were on hand to look after Democratic
interests.
DR.. A. C. Pratt said he found things
in a sorry condition on the west side,
as workers were scarce, but the Demo-
Gratis hung together as best they coud.
X. c. Stone of Hollywood came into
the committee rooms to report that
the Republican clerks in the registra-
ton office had registered him in the
wrong precinct, thus disfranchising
him. He laid the case before the dis
trict attorney.
Assembly Candidate Yoakum report
ed that he found that about 70 per
cent of the vote was likely to be polled
in the First Wdfd.
Watts telephoned at $3.50 o'clock that
two-thirds of the vote had been cast,
and that indications pointed to victory
for the Democrats.
Huntington Park had polling place
in a store. The Democrats reported
that many Taft posters were scattered
through this polling place and that pro-

Figueroa streets usually. returns Re-

ers.
In precinct 81 by o'clock only four

MISSOURI CARRIED
BY BRYAN AND KERN
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR
GOVERNOR ELECTED
Friends Of HadIey, Head Of Repub-
IIoan State Ticket, Refuse to Acc
knowledge Defeat of Chief
Executive
Especial to The Herald

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 3-Up to late
hour tonight the state seems to be
carried by Bryan and Kern and by w.
s. Cowherd, Democrat, for governor.
The latter will. have a majority Of bOOO
to 10000.
The weather for the most part was
clear throughout the state. but the
voters did not go to the polls In large
numbers in the morning as had been
anticipated.
About noon in this city they began
to come, and during the hours Of the
afternoon there was continuous
struggle at many precincts to get into
the polling booths.
Friends of Hadley, nominee for gov
ernor on the Republican ticket, refuse
to acknowledge defeat and no state
ment can be secured at Republican
headquarters. This Is significant as the
Republicans in Missouri are known al
ways by their strong lung power when
they have achieved anything like vic
tory.
Bryan is conceded to have carried
the state by at least $4,000 plurality
and to have run ahead Of the state
ticket.
In Kansas City, the home of Cow
herd, Democratic nominee for COVER
nor, there are indications he ran ahead
of the ticket, and kept many. votes on
the ticket which otherwise might nave
gone to Taft.
In Springfield the Democrats did
valiant service and carried everything.
In st. Charles county, the voters be-
ing largely Germans, some of the pre-
cincts showed Republican gains, but
these gains were cut down by large
pluralities in other sections.
