Christiania, Oct. II, Via. London, S:09 a. m.-Women are voting today for the first time in Norwegian gen. eral electicHs. There are 10000 new electors on the rolls.

 The socialists platform is devoted largely to an anti-military propa- ganda. The government program in- cludes a grain monopoly, old age pen sion and restrictions of almost a pro- hibitive character on the sale of alco- holic liquor.
