WEATHER FAVORS VOTERS
Heavy Vote is Cast Throughout the
Country.

New York, Nov. S.-Fair weather,
general throughout the country ex-
cept in the upper Mississippi valley
and in western Colorado, accompanied
by agreeable temperature, brought
out the voting hosts early today. Re
ports from practically all sections in
dicated that a heavy vote had been
cast, and some points reported that
the bulk of the vote was in before
10 a. m.
All the New England states in their
early reports of the voting dwelt on
the heavy early halloting. Providence
R. l., reported that throughout ne
state it was the heaviest ever known
New York state and other middle
Atlantic states reported an unusually
large early vote, and similar reports
came from the west and south.

Probably Elected Governor in tn,
State of Washington.

Representatives in congress, Albert
Johnson, in the third district: Lin
Hadley, in the second, and w. L. La
Toilette, in the fourth, will be re
elected, all republicans. The republi-
cans will have two more in John f.
Miller. from the first district, and
Tom Cookery, in the fifth.
The cities seem to be inclined to
Wilson, although giving the republican
nominees for governor and senator
good leads
In Seattle 100 voting machines were
used for the first time, and the results
were attended with the usual confu-
sion. Some voters took as long as 10
and II minutes in spite of the fact
that the regulations gave the election
officials authority to order the voter
out unless he could mark his vote in
two minutes Where voters had stud
led the operation of the machines be
fore they entered booths the results
were satisfactory.

HUGHES MAJORITY
IN ILLINOIS 10000

Chicago. Nov. S.-IllinOis is back in
the republican column, and by ma
jority sufficient to dispose of any
grounds for argument Hughes has
carried the state by at least 100000
Frank O. Lowden, for governor. has
defeated Edward F. Dunno, the demo-
cratic incumbent, by about the same
figure
The outstanding surprise IN Illinois,
more especially in Chicago and other
big industrial centers, was the vote for
Hughes by the workmen. Democratic
leaders had confidently expected that
the labor vote would go practically
solid for Wilson and Dunno Repub-
Leans would not concede this claim
but expected a majority of the work
ing peoples votes, especially the labor
union element subject to the influence
of Gompers, would swing to Wilson.
To the surprise of managers on both
sides, the labor votes appear to have
gone to Hughes. This explains why
Chicago has given Hughes a majority.
when all calculations were based on
Wilson carrying the city by at least
6O,OOO
Still another surprise was the big
vote given Hughes by the women of
the state. Democratic managers had
claimed they were sure Of a big ma
iority of the women's vote on the lie
kept us out Of war argument. Rerub
lican managers admitted this would
have its effect especially upon women
whose husbands and sons were Of mill
tary age or who would be subject t.
call in case of a war a few years
hence.
The returns show that the women
of Illinois look at conditions from
practically the same viewpoint as the
men. They appear to have gone alone
with the men and the sole result is
greatly augmented total vote for III.
state, with no change in the political
complexion.

HUGHES IN THE
LEAD IN OREGON
Single Tax and Beer Amend
mentS Appear to Have
Been Defeated.

Portland, Or, Nov. S.-Charles e.
Hughes probably has carried Oregon
for president by a plurality that may
reach $4,000.
Hughes is leading Wilson in Multi
nomah county by narrow margin.
Hughes is maintaining a good lead

appears to have carried Benton.

Umatilla, Union and Wallowa coun-
ties
w. c. Hawley has been reelected
representative in congress in the first
district and N. J. Sinnott in the sec
ond district. Both are republicans.
C. N. Macarthur, republican candi-
date for congress from the Portland
district is maintaining a consistent
and apparently safe lead for re-elec-
ton over A. w. Lafferty and John A.
Jeffrey, the democratic nominee.
Ben w. Olcott has been reelected
secretary of state.
Frank A. Moore. Of Columbia coun-
ty, and George H. Burnett, of Marion
county, have been reelected justices

pluralities. Both are republicans.
John d. Mickle, of Portland, was re-
elected dairy and food commissioner.
The single tax amendment was over
whelmingly defeated. Every county
reporting has given a decisive vote
against it,
The brewers bill likewise has been
showed under. The margin against it
is large in the outlying counties.
The absolute prohibition bill is run
ming close upstate, and the result on
this measure is in doubt. Unless
county goes heavily
against it, this bill, which would pro
hibit the importation of liquor, may
carry.

These rules, which apply to the use
of gasoline should also be followed in
handling kerosene. benzine and the
other highly volatile oils.
1t is not so many years ago that the
starting of a fire in the stove with
kerosene oil was one of the standard
jokes of the comic papers 1t was no
joke, however, to the person who tried
it once too often.
Recent experiments have shown that
static electricity frequently is gener
ated by pouring gasoline into an in
sulated metal container This is the
cause, undoubtedly. of many fires in
garages. The gasoline is allowed to
fall into a pail with a wooden handle,
which hangs from the spout of the
container When the gasoline becomes
overcharged, the resulting spark starts

mately $4,000.

New York was about 10000, while
Hughes led upstate by 100000.
The democrats made gains in sew
eral industrial cities upstate, but the
country districts remained overwhelm-
ingly republican The most notable
increase in the democratic vote was
in Buffalo, second largest city in the
state, which Hughes carried by only
1857, although it was carried by Whit
man for governor two years ago by
more than 10000 Slight democratic
gains also were shown in Rochester,
Syracuse and Albany. the banner re-
publican cities of the state.
From returns received it was ap-
parent that Charles S. Whitman had
been reelected governor over Samuel
Seabury, his democratic opponent.
William NJ. Calder IF Brooklyn, for
mer representative to congress, was
elected United States senator over
William S. McCombs, former chair
man of the democratic national com
mittee, by large majority.

cans had gained one congressman.

NOTICE TO WATER USERS.

1t is planned to make a domestic
run of water in the Salmon river sys-
TEN, starting about November 18th. AS
only a limited quantity of water has
accumulated in the reservoir, it will be
necessary to restrict the period during
which water will be available for each
user to about "a to SO hours. This
should be ample time for filling els
terms and stock ponds if proper pre-
parations are made in advance for re-
ceiving and taking care of the water.
