PRESIDENT VOTES QUICKLY.
Theodore Junior Has Trouble In
Casting Ballot for the First
Time

Ii took President Roosevelt but
few seconds to mark ballot No. 141
at 9:23 Tuesday morning, in the vot-
ing room over the barber shop at
Oyster Bay.
After he emerged from the booth,
Theodore Roosevelt Jr. entered TO
exercise his franchise for the first
time. Teddy jr, was evidently lit
tie worried by the big sheet, for he re-
manned inside the booth considerably
longer than his father. Flashlight
photographers tried to get a picture
of the president in the act OF deposit
ing his ballot, but the charge of pow
der was little tardy and the preSi-
dent was turning from the box when
the fash went off.
Il beat you that time, boys? ne
said with a hearty laugh.
Mrs Roosevelt and Congressman
Cocks accompanied the president and
his son to the voting place. They
were cheered along the wav AT the
booth the president spoke to a num-
ber of acquaintance.
The president was greeted on his
arrival at Oyster Bay by company
OF small boys. each carrying flag

SEASON OPENS ON NOV. 10.
Hunting for Ducks the Only Sport
Until Quail Season Opens-Li-
cense Business is Slow.

When politics is over the only ex-
citement left will be the hunting
During the last two weeks, every
thing has given way to politics The
demand for hunting licenses was
slight; the market slumped. How
ever, it will be only few more days
until the quail season opens, and the
open season ON rabbits, squirrels, etc.
1t is said that the fall shooting will
be good, and it is probable that the
first days shooting, November 10th.
will see many parties in the woods
and fields.
The state law prohibits killing rab-
bits and squirrels during October and
until November 10 in order that the
young broods of quail may be pro-
tected until they are able to make a
good flight.
Ducks may be killed after Septem-
Der Is and until spring; SO may any
other variety of water fowl. Thi.
sort of shooting has attarcted some
<hunters, but nat so many as usual. The
big hunting season will come with the
open season on quail.
