Male Voters.

More than fifty enemy aliens and
their wives, many of whom voted in
the primary, will be denied the right
to vote, in accordance with the orders
of the supreme court. The wives eof
enemy aliens, even tho they are Amer
leans, cannot vote. Many who come
under this class and many of the
enemy aliens themselves are undoubt-
edly loyal, and there is no question
about their war sentiments. but the
ruling was made to keep others who
might be disloyal from exercising the
privileges of citizenship and it was
found that determinations could not
be made. Tt is, said that many of the
Topekans who are barred from voting
under the supreme court order have
sc ms fighting in France now.
Do Not Crowd Booths.
While there has been no order is
sued by the city health authorities
about crowding the election booths.
City, Clerk Covell today asked the To-
peka State Journal to request the vot-
ers to avoid crowding into the booths.
There will be plenty of time for ev-
cry one TO vote" Miss Covell said, "and
it will be much better for the voters
to spend few minutes waiting their
turns on the outside than for them to
jam into the booths and run the risk
of exposure to influenza"
The polling places of the city will
be found elsewhere in this issue of
the State Journal, which is the Off
cial city paper

Double Election Boards in
Every Precinct Except One.
TOTAL REGISTRATION IS 20,6O0
Large Number of Enemy Aliens
To Be Denied Ballot.
Warning Issued Not To Crowd
the Booths.

City Clerk Eta Covell announced
this afternoon that all the city election
machinery was in order and ready to
begin operation tomorrow morning
when the polls open at o'clock. That
Is, everything was in readiness except
the naming of a few officials, but this
was considered matter that would
cause little worry.
The polls will open as stated at 6
O'Clock and will remain open until Z
O'Clock in the evening. However, all
voters are urged to cast their ballots
as early in the day as possible. !.
At every polling place except one,
the first precinct of the First ward,
there will be two sets OF election Off
Gals. This means that the returns will
be known much earlier than they were
under the old system. In the first
precinct of the First ward there were
less than 200 votes cast for secretary
of state at the last regular election
and the law provides that the double
boards shall be used only where this
vote was 200 or more.
Start Counting Early.
The first board will begin work as
soon as the polls open and the second
one will start at 10 o'clock in the
morning. One board will handle the
regular duties of the election officials
while the other will count ballots un-
til the polls close in the evening" Then
both boards will count until the total
vote has been tabulated.
According to the registration books
the total vote of the city should be a
little4more than 10000. The figures
show 1,447 males registered and 9,
lis females in the six wards. They
are as follows:

Give OUT TERMS
Germany's Conditions Are Due
Today or Tuesday.
Washington Talked of as Place
for Conference.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Austria has
taken the count" and definitely quit
the war.
Germany will be next, the national
capital declared unanimously, as it
waited with strained intensity for an
nouncement of the German armistice
terms. They were expected today or
tomorrow-probably today.
So confident is the capital that the
armistice terms will result in cessa-
tion of hostilities that consideration is
already given to the location of a
| eace conference.
Washington is strongly talked of
and favored not only by American Of
ficials, but by many diplomats. Brus-
sells is also mentioned-but no decision
has been reached even tentatively.
