Oyster Bay, Nov. 3.-President
Roosevelt reached the polling place at
1923 a. m., and cast ballot No. 141.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., deposited the
next ballot. After. voting the presi-
dert and son drove to Sagamore Hill.
People were up early and a large
crowd was on hand at the railway sta
tion to welcome home the president. As
his special train pulled into the station
the people surged forward, all eager
to shake hands with the president,
knowing it probably would be the last
time they might shake hands with a
president of the country voting as q
resident of their village. Following
their usual custom they formed in line
and passed before the president, who
shook hands with every one.
Some of the villagers, knowing the
presidents love of flowers. brought
bouquets and presented them to him.
He gracefully accepted these as tokens
of their friendship. AS he drove away
to the business part of the town and
the polling place, the crowd ap-
plauded. The president lifted his hat
and waved it enthusiastically in
acknowledgements.

running all with Governor Cummfns
and that his vote will be immensely
increased. one county in the Second
district which was about a stand-off
in June reported it would give Cum
Minis not less than 500 majority. An
other in the Eighth which went by
majority of 200 against Cummins in
June will now break even. The re-
ports show a gain of from 200 to
800 to the county in the direction OF
governor. On the other hand the air
has changed the past week at both the
Lacey headquarters here, and the men
employed do not manifest the conf
dence they did They have been say
ing all along that they would spring
something the last week that would
put Cummins out of the running, but
all their fakes have been watched so
closely that they have not accom-
plshed anything. Certain it is that
the Cummins people are very conf
dent.
In June Governor Cummins re-
ceived a total of 1865 votes in Polk
county, his majority being 2.7S9. Good
judges now assert belief that he Will
get nine or ten thousand and that his
majority will run up to at least four
thousand.

lures of $7,0o0,oO0, as compared with

Heavy Mason City Vote.

SpcCl11 " 11AcS.IlOVuDACdu. IS
Mason City, Nov. 3.-Under clear
skies and with weather conditions the
best in the history Of election days in
Cerro Gordo county, Mason City is
polling heavy vote today. The poll.
ing places in the various precincts
were crowded almost from the time
they opened at noon, when large
per cent of the laboring men cast their
ballots. The crowds were unusually
large. At the close of registration
hours last Saturday night, total of
2,236 voters had registered in the diff
ferent wards of the city. From all in
dications today, the vote will be slight
ly in excess of that figure, because a
few who were out of town on all pre-
vious registration days, are registering
and voting today If all vote who reg
lister, the vote will be by far the
heaviest ever polled in the city.
The vote was one-half polled by !
o'clock. Much interest was manifested
in the senatorial fight. Cummins will
run strong in the county. The country
districts report heavy voting this fore
noon. The returns will be slow. as
voting is heavy everywhere.

ISSUE POLICIES ON DEPOSITS.
Several Insurance Companies Build.
ina Up Large Business in This Line

ing Up Large Business in This Line.
New York. Nov. 3.-Since Mr.. Bryan
first advocated the guaranteeing of
bank deposits many surety companies
in this city have built up a large de-
pository bond business which affords
the protection to depositors hitherto
lacking under the banking system.
A canvass of some of the representa-
tive companies showed that the bus
ines of guaranteeing the individual de-
positor had assumed such, proportions
that special department. had been
created in many instances to handle
applications of this kind
A representative of the American
Bonding company said yesterday that
such bonds were issued in some cases
directly to the prospective depositor
without disclosing the fact to the bank
that the depositor had applied for pro-
lection.
These bonds are issued for a premi-
un of one-half of / per cent. The de-
posit is limited to 100000 by some of
the companies. Other companies will
insure much larger deposits.
Besides the American Bonding COM
pany, the Fidelity and Casualty and
several other large institutions are de-
voting particular attention to this new
department of business.

WASHINGTON DESERTED.
Officials and Government Employees
Go Home to Vote.

Washington, Nov. 3.-Washington
today is quite deserted by its men of
prominence. Not content with their
participation in the campaign in be-
half Of their colleague, most Of the
members of the cabinet have followed
the example set by the president and
have gone to their respective homes
to cast their votes for Taft. The same
is true of a majority of the heads Of
bureaus, of many chiefs of divisions,
and of an exceptionally large percent
age Of male clerks. The departments
are all open but no one pretends to
give very close attention to business.
The department employees have been
impressed with the possibility that a
few votes might change results in the
congressional contests If not on the
national ticket, and each has gone with
the intention Of throwing his influence
on the right side of the scale as it ap-
peals to him. Because of the civil
service agitation, Taft will receive a
larger share of benefit from the Wash
ington vote than Bryan.

Des Moines, Nov. 3.-An immense
vote is being cast in Des Moines and
the friends of Cummins assert that he
is getting five-siXths Of the vote cast
in the senatorial primary. It was
found this morning that the Lacey
workers were getting democrats to
vote for Lacey in outlying districts,
but they were forced to stop.
The governor voted early and dur
ing the day received kilograms from
different parts Of the state showing
he is making heavy gains.
The use of the voting machine is
having the effect to stop scratching.

Reports from all portions Of the
state indicate a heavy vote early, both
in the cities and county.

Last Words to Congress Will Recon-
mend Some Important Reforms.

Washington. Nov. 3.-A large part of
President Roosevelt's final annual mes
sage to congress was dictated yester-
day. 1t Is being written, it was stated
at the White House as if the president
were going to continue in office for an
other four years, 1t is to be full of
vim and vigor. Every live topic here
tofore mentioned in messages again
will be fully treated.
Among the things which will be
recommended are more power for the
interstate commerce commission, the
insertion of the word reasonable" in
the anti trust law, SO that it will for
bid only unreasonable restraints OF
commerce between states, conservation
of the forests and tariff revision. the
latter because the platform pledged the
party to it.
The idea underlying the message
thus far written is that Taft is to carry
forward the policies Of the outgoing

CANNON WILL WIN
No Slump Apparent in Speakers Vote
In His District and He Will Win by
Normal Majority.

Danville, H., Nov "a heavy vote
is being polled over the entire district
represented in congress by Speaker
Cannon SO far as Vermillion county
and Danville are concerned, the oppo-
sition to Cannon has dwindled away.
The delnocrxes have no party workers
at the polls, and Cannon's managers
predict his majority will be larger in
this county than it ever has been. Re-
ports from over the Eighteenth district
are encouraging to him and it is pre-
dicted his majority will not be below
normal. The only vote he is losing is
the vest pocket vote, which has never
been counted on.

DEMOCRAT DEFENDS OIL KING.
Nathan straus Says Rockefeller Is
More Sinned Against Than Shining.

New York, Nov. 3-John D. Rookie
Teller was warmly defended by Nathan
straus at a democratic meeting in
brownsville. Mr.. Straus said:
"Mr. Rockefeller is the greatest bus
mess man the world has produced. In
the conduct of the tremendous enter
prise of which he is the head, thou
sands of men are employed, and among
these doubtless are some who have
done nefarious work. What right have
we to heap the sins of others on the
head Of John D. Rockefeller? believe
sincerely that this man has been more
sirned against than SHINING. Mr.
Rockefeller is mistaken in saying that
the election of Mr.. Taft will be better
for business than the election of MI
