tiOn Issues in Some States.

Elections of far reaching Importance
were held throughout the country to-
day. In all states members of the next
national house of representatives are
being chosen except Maine and Yer
mont which have already made their
choice. In % states, governors and full
state tickets are being elected and in
many of these states the legislatures
elected will name United States sena-
tors. Most of the other states where
governors are not being chosen have
elections on other state officers.
The early reports from all sections
of the country show that the poll IS
proceeding quietly with no indications
of election disorders and with general
prospects Of heavy vote.
The weather at most points is propi-
tious for bringing out the vote. Snow
has fallen in New York state and other
eastern localities but west and south
the weather generally is clear and cold.
The exceptional interest taken in the
election was shown by the heavy vote
reported from many points during the
early hours of the day.
In Boston more than a quarter of the
registered vote had been cast in the
first two hours. In Albany many dis
tricts had half their vote in before 10
a. m. At Cincinnati, where President
Taft cast his vote, the poll during the
early hours was unusually heavy. Mil
waukee, st. Louis. Omaha and many
other points reported a heavy vote. In
West Virginia women were at the polls
in large numbers for the first time,
seeking a constitutional amendment
permitting women to hold certain ap-
pOintive offices.

sons cast their votes in Utica, N. Y, at

DIED FROM POISON
Harry f.. Hall Is a Victim OF
Morphine.
Dies From Overdose May Have
Been Taken Accidentally.

Harry E. Hall, an employee of the
Southwestern Furniture company in
North Topeka, died at his home at 3l1
Emmette street, this morning as a re-
suit of overdose of morphine which Hall
took late Monday afternoon. The young
man was found lying in an unconscious
condition in an alley at Fourth and
Adams streets late Monday night.
Halls wife has been seriously sick
for several days and Sunday night
Hall stayed up all night to wait on
her He remarked TO his mother that
he did not feel well Monday and did
not go to his work. Early in the after
noon he left home and did not return
Tor supper. He was not found until late
at night when a pedestrian accidentally
stumbled over the man in an alley. He
was unconscious when taken to the hos
p1ta1 ward at the police station. DR..
Hogeboom was summoned and after
Hall had been given treatment, he
was taken to his home. He died at 4
o'clock this morning without regaining
consciousness.
The mans death is not thought to
have been the result of suicidal intent.
1t is believed that he accidentally took
an overdose of morphine. Hall was
80 years old and had been in the en-
ploy of the Southwestern Furniture
company several years.
