are bringing out many votes. The be-
lief here is that the treasurers and COM
missioners Of the revenue will win out
and that the other amendment will be
defeated.
Richmond, Va, Nov. 8.-With the
weather generally fair and not too cold
throughout the state, early indications
we're that SD enormous vote would be
polled in all the congressional districts.
In the Ninth, Fifth and Second dis
tricts, where the contest is closest, the
vote will be heaviest. Elsewhere the
ballots will be mere expressions OF con-
fidence in the democratic nominees.
Nevertheless, it is probable that the
balloting will exceed that OF the last
election by several thousand.
MARYLAND.
Baltimore. Nov. Solicitations at
10 O'Clock this morning were that the

day is ideal for voting, clear, and just
d total poll OF the city will exceed 22O,- |
900. The democrats are already |
claiming five cut OF the six districts.

have at least three OF the six congress
men. In the third district the vote OF
George KONG, democratic congressional
candidate, is being heavily cut down by

New York, Nov. 8.-Early hours at
the polls here today indicated that the
vote will be one OF the heaviest cast in |
years. In spite OF cold, blustry |
morning, in which the first snow OF the
season changed into rain and then back |
into snow, the polls had hardly opened
at 6 O'Clock before lines OF voters be-
gan to form. Within half an hour OF
the opening, many OF the voting places
were crowded 10 the limit. Notwlth-
standing the deep interest in the cleo
ton as indicated by the early voting, |
betting is declared to have been lighter
in this city than for years past. wall
street authorities today declared that
not over $500, 600 has been laid on the
result. At the close Of betting last
night odds were running from 2 IL to
3 in favor OF Dix, with very little
money, however, at the latter figure.
One OF the greatest surprises was the
eleventh hour admission OF Mr.. Roose-
welt that he is not counting on ma
iority of more than %, 900 for Stimson.
Chairman Prentice, OF the republican
state committee, has been claiming
victory by over 100000.
