SCHOOL BOND ELECTION
MADISON WILL VOTE AGAIN ONE
WEEK FROM TODAY.

When asking an affirmative vote
on the proposition of issuing bonds
for 800 for the new wing to the
high school building, we wish TO call
attention to the fact that we have
already erected the most expensive
portion. The central part contains
all needed s~tairways, toilets and Of
fices. The new boiler has ample ca
pacity to take care of the proposed
addition and this is also true of the
v%entilating apparatus.

Evidently believing that most of
the voters had decided the course
they would pursue, before the open
ing of the polls this morning, sup
porters of the two plans of city gov
eminent, which was considered by
many t be the most important Ques-
ton up, were not out in any consider
able force.
A number Of men who have been
prominently identified with the
movement TO pave Egan avenue, said
that so far as they knew. no one was
actively engaged today in paving vote
getting.
Members of the dry element were
to be found in the vicinity of the
polls, some checking off the voters
as they called for their ballots. The
advocates of saloons made a surpris-
ing eleventh hour rally, and workers
on both sides admitted at a late hour
that they would hesitate to predict
the outcome of the issue.
John A. Johnson and Jacob Kun
dert, the only candidates for the one
vacant seat on the city commission,
were out early. 1t apparently had all
along been thought by friends of the
two candidates that the race between
Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Kundert would
be a close one.
DR.. II. II. F~rudenfeld was prob
ably the only man taking an active
part in the election who had no cause
for misgivings. DR.. Frudenfeld was
- a-.NIsl,tA e.. a.. ~fN-l, w
cant seat on the board of education.
His candidacy was voted on, however,
in all the wards, and there was a spe-
cial ballot box for his votes, as there
was for all the others. A single vote
was necessary to elect him.
1t was feared by many that the
five ballot boxes would prove eX-
tremely confusing and that some bal
lots might be lost as a result OF be
ing placed in the wrong boxes. Men
in a position to give authoritative in
formation on the question said, how
ever, that they did not think a ballot
placed in the wrong box would in
validate it.
There was a large early vote, many
stopping in to cast their ballots on
their way down to their work OF
business in the morning. The cleo.
ton was conducted in an orderly
manner, all workers seemingly pre-
ferring to boost their own issues
rather THAI knocking" those of the
other fellow.
As had been anticipated, there was
much confusion evidenced over the
phraseology of the city form of gov
eminent ballot" Persons without
number told that they were enabled
to vote in%telligently upon the ques-
ton, only after they had obtained
the advice of friends who had them.

RUMANIA OvERsHADOws

Petrograd. November 2.-(Via Lon
don. Interest in the Rumanian Sit
uation continues to overshadow minor
episodes on the Russian front, par
ticularly since, according to military
opinion here, the approach of winter
already has precluding the possibility
of further operations in a large scale
in this theatre.
There has been. however. g. notice.
ably growing tendency on the part of
the Germans to commence n more or
less serious offensive at various points
in Galicia. the most important of
which is the one undertaken south of
Brzezany. where the Russian positions
along the Narayuvka river have Of
fered exceptional advantages for a
thanking attack upon Halicz from the
north at the same time constituting a
direct menace to Lemberg.
The Germans aimed thrusts all along
the line from Brzezany to Halicz, but
contracting most heavily in the region
of Michinshou wood. began a deter
mined attack on the night of October
20. which carried the Russian posi-
lions.
Russian critics. although manifestly
surprised at the German ability to
launch an offensive of large forces
at this point do not consider the hos
tile advance over a six-mile front of
more than local Importance and state
that it's only significance is in re-
lation to the Transatlantic operation,
being an obvious attempt to create a
diversion and prevent further Rus
sian cooperation on the Pennsylvania
| front. where General Won Falkenhayne,
after temporarily checked. is making a
new effort to advance.
