HEAVY VOTE EVERYWHERE.
IBy Associated Press. ]

New York, Nov 3--With the first
gray shadow of the approaching
dawn. the American voters sought
today to choose a new president.
The early weather reports We're fa-
vorable- and "a heavy vote is being
cast in every state where there has
been semblance of contest be-
tween the two leading parties.
In New York state the polls were
opened at 6 am. and will close at
pm.
There was rush of voters at
practically every precinct in this city
this morning as soon as the ballot
boxes We're opened. The Tammany
organization was especially anxious
to get its vote in early because of
of complications later through the
operation of the new registration
law which requires the voters to
write their own names in registering
and to repeat the signatures for COM
parison on election day
The returns from the upstate coun-
ties will undoubtedly be in before this
county. the vote in many local pre-
cincts already being well under way.
Erie county, in which Buffalo is
located and which is declared usually
to be an index of the national result,
will be one of the first counties to
announce it's result. Voting machines
are being used in Buffalo and the re-
turns can be quickly footed up.
A comparison of the returns front
Erie county with the figures of two
and four years ago will give a pretty
close idea of what the drift in the
state and nation is to be.
