tricts. There is a perceptible lack of in
tereSt in the election throughout Tennes-

AUSTIN. Tex. November 1.-THE

WASHINGTON.
SEATTLE. Wash, November 3-The
prediction of the weather bureau today
is for general showers throughout the
state. The weather was threatening at
the opening of the polls, with a prospect
of showers.
The result of the balloting in Washing
ton today will hardly be known before
tomorrow. 1t would be surprising if suf-.
ficient returns are received tonight to
enable the making of even an estimate
that would border on accuracy. The
polls do not close until o'clock, and
the counting of the ballots, which con-
tain upward of 100 names, will hardly
start until or after. A large por-
ton of the state is without Geographic
or telephone communication. and al
though these sections are sparsely set
tied and do not individually poll many
votes. in the aggregate they may cut
considerable figure : in deciding contes s,
especially those for governor and MEM
bers of the legislature.
WEST VIRGINIA.
WHEELING, w. Va, November s.
Three hours after the opening of the
polls, with the weather clear and warm,
only small proportion of the vote had
been cast. The indications point to
larger vote throughout West Virginia
than in any former election. In all coun-
ties both parties are offering rewards .or
information leading to the arrest of lille
gal voters. and strenuous efforts are being
made to eliminate fraud on either side.
There have been allegations of padded
registration lists in a number of coun-
ties. Attempts to vote illegally may
cause trouble at the polling places, as
feeling runs high. There is much scratch
ing. and the counting of the ballots will
be delayed somewhat, as the ticket is the
largest ever voted in West Virginia. 1t
is doubted whether more than a small
percentage of the 1.4OO precincts in the
state can report tonight.

5 pm.
