indications of Heaviest Vote in
an Off-Year Election.
EACH PARTY OPTIMISTIC MOOD
Victory Claimed by Democrats,
Republicans and Moose.
Many Innovations in Election
In State Tuesday.

Tonight the final word in the 1914
campaign will be spoken. tomorrow
Kansas will register her approval or
rejection Of the work Of the Democratic
state and national administration. In
the election Tuesday, Kansas women

bers of the lower branch of the legisla-
ture, all state officers from governor to
irrigation commissioner, and a full set
OF county officials.
With the uncertainty as to the man
ner in which the new voters will line
up in tomorrow's fight and the. added
uncertainty as to results under new
ballot system, there will be little sleep
for the Kansas politician until suffi-
cfent returns have been received Tues
day night on which to base at least a
prediction as to the result in the state.
There is every indication that the vote
Tuesday will be the heaviest ever cast
in an off year election in Kansas. Es-
Inmates place the vote at from 425.000
to 100000
Registration Has Been Heavy.
In all of the cities and larger towns
OF the state, the registration mas been
unusually heavy. Thousands of women
have registered and are ready to go to

at 125,000 to 10000. with about 10000

Inhabitants in its vicinity have become
greatly alarmed. On Sunday special
prayers were made and a procession
of people went to favored shrines as q
repetition of the disaster of 1905 is
feared.
The activity of the volcano first
manifested itself by deep detonations
and rumblings. This was followed by
gigantic columns Of smoke and soon
thereafter an abundant eruption Of
lava began.
The last serious eruption of Mount
Vesuvius occurred in the spring of
1905. Several villages were destroyed
and the property loss was estimated
at $20,000,00O About 500 persons
were killed and fifty thousand were
rendered homeless. Many nations.
especially the United States, sent aid
to the sufferers
There have been several eruptions
since 1906, but all were of a minor
character and no serious losses re-
suited.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The Germans re-
newed their offensive in the vicinity
of Ypres and Dixmude, where several
previous attempts to break through
the allies lines and gain the coast of
France have been repulsed after the
most severe fighting Of the war. De
spite the reverses which the Austro
German armies suffered in the east,
where the Russians have now set their
feet on German territory, both in East
Prussia and Posen the Germans are
said to be still sending reinforcements
to the west in an endeavor to break
down the resistance of the French,
British and Belgians. who have been
holding their positions and in places
made small but important advances.
There has, however, been no decisive
action fought along the whole front,
but each side is making gains which
may count when the crisis is at hand.
With the tremendous forces opposing
each other, any progress must neces-
sarily be slow in these days of siege
battles, but both the Germans and the
allies express satisfaction with the
way in which the battle has gone thus
far.
Arizona republican., 1914-11-10

In the east, the Russian advance
guards drew fighting on both the East
Prussian and Posen frontiers, and it
is believed the Germans have given up
their first plan of offering resistance
to the Russians advance on the po-
sitions which they had prepared along
the Warthe river. According TO Ger
man report, Russians suffered reverses
on the East Prussian frontier, where
they lost 1000 men, some machine
guns, but of fighting elsewhere in this
region Berlin says nothing.
There have been no developments in
the near east, the engagements fought
being between the Russian and Turk
ish frontier guards in the Caucasus or
in the bombardment of ports. Slack
ness in recruiting in England has been
given flip by thes marches Of some
crack territorial regiments, and to-

Preliminary estimates indicate

the most valuable ever grown in

and apple crops will have record
harvests and the potato crop is
the second largest in history. The
