FAVORABLE WEATHER
CONDITIONS BRING
OUT BIG STATE VOTE
Thousands of Voters Go to Polls
Early to Cast Their
Ballots
By Associated Press

Philadelphia. Nov. g. The three
cornered fight for the United States
senetorship between A. Mitchell Pal
mer, Democrat; oxford Pinchot, Wash
ington, and Boies Penrose, Republican,
and the struggle between Vance c..
Mccormick, Democrat Washington, and
Martin G. Brumbaugh, Republican. for
Governor, served to bring out heavy
vote in the early hours of the election
to-day throughout Pennsylvania. The
weather was fine.
The fact that many voters took a
long time to mark their ballots gave
rise to reports that much cutting was
being done. but the slowness of the
voters may be due in measure to the
large number of candidates to be voted
for.
Penrose Not Being Cut
Voting continued heavy during The
day in Philadelphia, especially in bis
tricts where there We're close sera-
torial and legislative fights. In the
Fifth Congressional district in this
city where Congressman Donohoe
Democrat, and Washington party can
didate, is opposed by Peter E. Cos
tellor, the Republican leader in that
part of the city, a large vote was be-
ing polled. There was also great i'll

which includes West Philadelphia and
Germantown where j. Washington
Logue, candidate for reelection on
the Democratic and Keystone ticket, is
opposed by Fred S. Drake, Washing
ton, and George P. Darrow. Republi-
can.
Senator Penrose voted about 1898
2. m. and Martin G. Brumbaugh cast
his ballot early in the day.
Reports that Senator Penrose was
being cut in South Philadelphia were
denied by the Wares, who are the
leaders in that part of the city.
Reports from the State indicate a
heavy vote. Clifford Pinchot vot ed
early at Milford, Pike county, and left
for Philadelphia to receive returns to-
night. A. Mitchell Palmer also voted
early in Stroudsburg and left for lIar-
risburg where he anb Vance C. Nc

CITY GETS 100000
RED CROSS STAMPS
FOR DISTRIBUTION
Preliminary Plans For Christmas
Campaign Will Be Outlined
This Evening

Coincident with the closing tonight
of one great Statewide campaign an
other crusade, national instead If
Statewide, Will be opened when pre-
liminary steps for launching the 1914
Red Cross Christmas seal sale are
discussed by the general committee
at the residence of the chairman, John
Fox Weiss.
Mr.. Weiss who headed the campaign
last year which placed Harrisburg
among the record breakers of clties
of the country for number of stamps
sold, has called the committee to
meet at 7:45 o'clock. Because of the
fact that it is election night, however.
the session will be very brief
Harrisburg has already received its
first consignment of the Christmas
seals-S00 .00O-the largest number
ever handled in the initial consign-
ment. Mr.. Weiss says he is confident
that all the seals will be disposed of
by Christmas.
The general campaign plan will be
similar to that of last year when a
score of different ideas were followed
out successfully. The public schools,
the secret societies, the Boy Scouts
organizations, the churches and the
merchants of the city and the subur-
ban towns will be among the avenues
in which Harrisburg's general COM
mittee will dispose of its stamps.
Chief among this years campaign
features will be the series of "Mer-
chants Days" This plan was adopted
last year, but because of the brief time
the results were not so large as might
have been possible in a greater time
allowance, and for this reason the
idea will be worked out much earlier.
In brief the scheme is to set apart one
day during the crusade as q certain
merchants day." such as "grocers'
day." bakers day." etc. when these
merchants will be given stamps to dis
pose of.
The Boy Scouts will be enlls ed
especially in this work in helping to
distribute the seals.

DESPERATE EFFORT

Beautiful Day Brings Out "Stay.

Numbers

Precincts
HEAVY VOTE FOR KUNKEL

Vance C. Mccormick, candidate for
governor on the mule ticket, was
making the effort of his life in Har-
risburg to-day to hold his home town
and a multitude of watchers, we'll
fabricated machine, and captains of
politics conversant with every DEM
ocratic scheme and reinforced by Bill
Finn methods, were aiding him. The
great Mccormick machine, built up
by personal effort, money and abuse,
is working at its best to-day, not only
in Dauphin, but in Cumberland and
Perry counties and probably in every
other county where the Little Boss
has followers. However, the supreme
effort is being made here at home be-
cause if a candidate is defeated in
the State and beaten at home, sorry
indeed is his plight. This is one cam
paign in this section.
Judge George Kunkel, known
throughout the whole State as an up
right Judge, endorsed by men without
regard to party, is being supported by
admirers, neighbors and friends with
out raising a hand. The people of
Dauphin, Cumberland and Perry
counties are lined up back of Kunkel
and voting for him as duty they
owe to their state. That is another
campaign in this section.
Voting Very Heavy.
A brilliant sun came over the
eastern hills this morning and ushered
in an autumn day that is as unusual
as the campaign which is being
ended. The weather was all that
could be desired and the most chronic
stay-at-home voter could not find 1t
in him to miss voting. The. duties
of the men who have to go around
and pull doorbells out by the roots
and worry telephone operators into
getting voters attention were light.
The voters came out. They are in
terested and the weather is fine. -
All throughout the city the voting
was heavy and early. BY o'clock
there were big votes polled and men
were predicting record breaking to-
tails. In some city districts the work
ers found that they had little to do
except think of what they will show.
incidentally, the thoughts of some
Mccormick men were not pleasant.
In Steelton the industrial depression
is keen and Democratic votes were
slim. Pride in a Democratic candi-
date although he lives in the county
does not go far against an empty din
ner pail.
The county reported lively voting,
especially in the upper end
