President Trumbull arrived here at

IN establish a system of federal license

agreed to put through II possible
Making more elastic the currency:

gruntled heretofore had made up their
minds to eccept Watson and vote the
ticket straight rather than take chan
ces on spelling their ballot for Taft.
On the other hand the democrats
were claiming that these republican
voters were still opposed to Watson
and were voting the straight democra-
tic ticket rather than run the risk Of
spelling their ballot. And each side
had something on which to base it's
claim. This was admitted by all
sides.
The saloons were closed tight here
and as far as has been learned they
were closed all over the state. No
trouble has been reported from any
place in the state, but the police OF
this city were looking for 1t during
the evening In some of the wards in
which foreigners vote. Thousands of
foreigners were naturalized during the
last week or two and it was said they
would be brought to the polls to vote
late in the day.
When the republicans found that
rapid voting was being done and that
straight tickets appeared to be the
rule they brought out considerable
money and began betting on Watson.
Several bets were made at even money
today.
The weather all over the state was
reported fine and this helped to bring
out full vote.
Clever Scheme Worked.
A clever scheme was worked here to-
day by some one. presumed to be the
democrats. Letters were sent to q
large number Of colored republicans
telling them to select ten of their best
workers in their precincts and go
with them to room 33, old Board of
Trade building to meet Capt. w. e.
English, who wished them to do some
special work on election day. The let
tiers told them that they would be sup
piled with the necessary means" for
carrying on the work. AS a result fully
500 negroes gathered at the old Board
of Trade, only to find that they had
been fooled. Mayor Bookwalter and
several other well-known republicans
had to explain to them that the letters
were forgeries and that 1t was a dem
ocratic scheme to get the negroes to
come down to be disappointed. When
they went to room SO they found pic.
lures Of Taft and Governor Hanly on
the wall and the floor strewn with pa
per bands. such as are used around
packages Of paper money in banks,
each band marked $50" This looked
promising of course. but there was no
money in sight. 1t was acknowledged
to be a clever scheme well worked
1t is not believed that many negroes
voted the democratic ticket, though
some did. Most Of them lined up as
they always have done for the repub-
lican ticket.
Among the republicans confidence
was maintained in the general result
as far as the national ticket was con-
| cerned. They insisted that Taft will
carry the state and that he will be
elected. They were also confident of
| the election of Watson and the rest of
the state ticket. But the democrats
insisted that the straigh icket voing
indicated landslide for Bryan and
were claiming that Marshall will be
| elected by a large plurality. 1t was
admitted on all sides. however, that
the complexion Of the legislature could
not be forecasted.
