LITTLE INTEREST
IN THE ELECTION

Were it not for the fact that the
banks and some OF the city and
county offices are closed and a
number of automobiles are going
about the city with banners on them,
most OF them reading Vote for
Wilson, it would be hard to realize
that an election is in progress to-
day. There are no crowds about
the voting places, but some few
voters have been going and coming
all day and 4 light vote is being
polled.
AT ll:30 this forenoon S. votes
had been cast in Precinct o OF the
Third ward, the City Hall box.
where the normal vote is about 1870.
At Halls store, in the Second ward,
q votes had been cast at II O'Clock
and at the school house in the same
ward 81 ballots were in the box az
that time. On \ street, opposite
the Chamber OF Commerce build
ing, Precinct ! OF the First ward.
3 votes had been cast shortly be
fore noon. This gives an idea OF
how the vote is coming in, as re
ports from other precincts show
about the same light vote.
1t is the opinion OF those about
the voting places that woman sui
frage is receiving about all the
votes cast In one precinct, at the
City Hall, $ general ballots had
been given out and only - on wo-
man suffrage one man handing back

General Pershing's forces are now

The whole front from the Dutch

to the right, were rapidly moving
toward Sedan, Resistance along this
front has been somewhat more stub

that the Germans have not as vet
reached a line where they will turn
definitely at bay.
