NEW RULE PASSED

The personnel of the candidates in
the city primary to be held on Novem-
ber 9th remains the same as it did
yesterday before the time limit at S
O'Clock expired, although four of the
candidates who had announced in the
Times-Recorder did not qualify with
Secretary E. B. Everett, of the city
executive committee, in accordance
with the rules published
The committee met this morning at

call of Chairman John Allen Fort. Be-
sides Chairman Fort, the members
present were. Secretary E. B. Everett,
f. T. Murray and ]. A. Davenport. J.

didates who had announced that they

pers prior to the time limit at o'clock
yesterday could remain and participate
in the primary, if they qualified by Il
o'clock, noon, today. Lee Allen, can
didate for mayor; H. B. Mashburn and
S. L. Hammond, candidates for alder
men, and Allen Chappell, candidate for

new rule of the committee and are in
the race, although they let the time

AMERICAN TOYS FOR AMERICAN
GIRLS AND BOYS CHRISTMAS

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 7-American
children will play with more Amer.-
can-made dolls and toys this Christ
mas than ever before, according to At
lanta toy dealers, who find that the
supply from European countries which
has been steadily dwindling since the
commencement of the war, is now
practically cut off entirely.
But, with typical Yankee ingenuity
and enterprise, the manufacturers in
this country have made rapid strides
toward perfection in the art of making
dolls and toys and their product is
said to be the equal of any doll inn
ported, although they have not yet been
able to equal the mechanical toys Of
German manufacture.

Fair Weather Everywhere.

NEW YORK, Nov. Fair weather is
general today throughout the country,
except in the upper Mississippi valley
and western Colorado. This favorable
condition brought the voters out early,
some points saying the bulk of the bal
lots We're cast before 10 o'clock this
morning.
The big early vote surprised politi-
clans and caused much conjecture
among democrats and republicans
alike.
Providence, R. l., reported the vote
throughout Rhode Island was the heav-
lest ever known, while reports from
New York state, the middle Atlantic
states and western and southern points
indicated keenest interest is being evf-
denced everywhere.
Those in charge of the republican
and democratic national headquarters
here expressed satisfaction with re-
ports received up to noon. Political
observers, however, were extremely
doubtful as to just when the election
result will become known. Many of
these were inclined to hold the opin~
ion that announcement of the result
will be somewhat later than usual in
previous natioral elections, owing to
the complex situation resulting from
the great number of women voting and
other causes, not heretofore entering
into the situation.

WILSON LEADING
IN KANSAS FROM
FIRST RETURNS

TOPEKA, Kans., Nov. THE use OF
the double election board system
whereby the votes are counted while
tie polls remain open in this state, en-
ahled Kansas voters to know accurate
ly today how the voting progressed
in various precincts. Forty-one pre-
cints and one entire county, with the
voting in progress this afternoon at
230 O'clock showed Wilson leading
Hughes in Kansas by majority of nine
votes, the president having polled 2,192
votes and Hughes, the republican can
didate 2,1S3. Kansas has been consid-
cred by republican leaders as solidly
republican.
Incomplete returns from twenty-five
precincts in Topeka give Hughes 1889
and Wilson 974, while sixteen precincts
in Wichita give Hughes 416 and Wilson
$50. In Wyandotte county at half-past
two this afternoon Hughes had polled
378 votes and Wilson 929, indicating
the extremely close race that is being
run in this state.
Kansas is one of the states in which
women are voting, but it is impossi-
bic at this hour to state whether or
not they are supporting either candi-
date solidly

CAMP COTTON, Ell Paso, Tex, Nov.
And now we're on the border, just
enc hundred yards from the land of
Villa and his cohorts. The Second
Georgia, "Georgia's Pride, of which
Company I-Americus Light Infantry
is a prominent outfit, arrived bright
and early Friday morning after week,
almost, spent on the Southern Pacific
and other railroads. Colonel Thomas
command went right out to Camp
Cotton, one mile from the center of
Ell Paso, and found nice quarters
awaiting them. All tents are f1oored
and most of the companies have
screened frames supporting their
tents, but in this one particular,
Company from Sumter county, Geor-
gia, was left out in the cold, for while
our tents have splendid floors in
them, we have none of the frames But
Texas is not half bad, and the boys are
all well and having the time of their
young lives. The mess halls are large,
and are enclosed with wire screens,
with the kitchen adjoining. The meals
are much better than they were in Ma
con, and altogether the Georgia boys
are not suffering for anything, except,
possibly, the coin of Uncle Sam.
