New York, Nov 2,-The seven
presidential candidates of 1920 last
night had submitted their case to
their jury and awaited the verdict Of
the electorate today
The hustle of months ended last
night at national headquarters,
where campaign strategists rested,
their summing up complete. The
candidates retired to seclusion to
receive the decision of the Ameri-
can people.
With the voters rested also the
duty of deciding the control of the
Senate and the House of Represen-
tatives, With the electorate of many
states rested tdhe duty of choosing
governors and legislatures.
Party leaders who week after week
had been directing the destinies Of
their candidates and focusing their
attention on the league Of nations,
the chief issue of the campaign,
pulled down their desk tops, put on
their hats and went home. Before
they left their headquarters they had
scanned last-mihute reports from
state chairmen, but almost as closely

where heavy rains would upset the
best.laid plans for transporting vot-
ers to the polls. There are districts
with streams which CODED cannot
be crossed even on muleback and in
certain states where the contest is
close every ballot plays its part.
In general, this is what the wealth
er man had to say of western dis
turbanee which appeared yesterday
over Iowa. and OF the prospects to-
morrow all over the country:
THE western disturbance will adj

rains Tuesday, election day, in the

lakes, with some probability Ct snow

Minnesota. The weather will be
clearing and much colder during
Tuesday In the gulf states, Tennes-
see, the lower Ohio and central Mis-

will prevail Tuesday over the plains
