LINCOLN, Nov S-(Special) - While
election day as a general proposition was
rathet quiet here. at times there was some
thing doing OF an exciting nature,
In precinct a of the First ward riot
call was sent in by the judges in order TO
clear the card distributors away from the
polls Young boys and men had been em-
ployed by various candidates to distribute
cards, and In their zeal to earn their wages
they sometimes followed the voters almost
to the booth.
When ordered to leave several objected
and the police were called. The boys were
chased 100 yards away. While the police
were at the polling place four men rolled
up in an automobile, evidently of foreign
birth. They started to leave the machine,
but upon seeing the officers they crawled
back and drove away. Whether they ever
got to vote is not known.
Carriages and automobiles were thick on
the streets all day. Some bore placards
of candidates, but a lot of them were not
designated as republican or democratic.
The weather was ideal all day and the
vote in the residence wards was heavy
early in the morning.
In several churches women congregated
and prayed for the success of Senator Aid
rich and the dry ticket while the Nc
Kinley chimes were played at intervals
New Walks Around State House,
Before ne goes out Of office next Janu-
airy Secretary of State George c. Junkin
will have realized one Of the ambitions he
/ has nursed for many years. Back in 1906
! Mir. Junhin, then a member of the house
| from Gosper county, endeavored to get an
appropriation to put in walks around the
| state house and through the grounds which
would not become drainage bitches in time
Of rain. He discovered the cost would be
| in the neighborhood of $4,000 and figured
/ that would be entirely too much money
for the work. 80 nothing further was done
Mr.. Junkin. however, after spending al
most four years in the capitol building
was more and more impressed with the
necessity Of decent walks, so he got busy
/ and found the Board Of Public Lands and
! Buildings had little money on hand
] Then he got prices from contractors and
the result was the contract was let,
At this time the walks on the south side
of the building except on Fifteenth street
have been completed and on the west side
all the work is done in front OF the build
ing BY Friday the work will have beer
finished. 1t will be up to the next Iegis
Iature to furnish the money TO Fix the norti
side. The total cost win be less than $500
All the big nagstoues have been takeI
up and cement blocks put down and IN,
walks narrowed,
