change his mind in and voted the

As he stepped out newspaper men
snapped fashlight after fashlight.
The room became so filed with smoke
that every one was choking and a
crowd gathered outside. When the
smoke cleared away the candidate was
still smiling broadly.

NEW YORK, Nov. THE republic
can and democratic state chairmen
both predicted today that New York
state would probably cast the heaviest
vote in its history. Their reports from
upstate sections were that the weather

larly IN the rural sections the voters
were early at the polls. At both head
quarters these circumstances were
pointed to as favorable to the success
of their respective tickets. New York
