TRepubIioan A. p. Leased wIrel

NEW YORK, Nov 1. = The seYen presidential candidates of 1920 tonight had submitted their case to the jurys and awaited tomorrow the verdict of E the electorate.
 The hustle of months ended tonight at national headquarters where cam paign strategists rested, their sum- ming up completed. The candidates retired to seclusion to receive the de- cision of the American people. With the people rested the task of bringing down the curtain on the national drama of electing leader for the next four years.
 With the voters rested also the duty | of deciding which party should con- | trol the senate and which party should control the house Of representatives. | With the electorate of many states rested the duty of choosing governors and legislatures.
 Party leaders, who week after week
 had been directing the destinies of their candidates and focusing their at
 tention 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 minute reports from state chair
 men, but almost as closely they had
 studied the reports of the government
 weather bureau.
 The state of the weather on election day was considered most important. for this alone would determine the turnout of voters particularly in ise- = lated sections of the country where heavy rains would upset the best laid , plans for transporting voters to the ! polls.
 There are districts with streams 7 which, when flooded. cannot be crossed
 and in certain states where the con- test is close, every ballot plays it's |, part.
 II !. In general this is what the weather . man had to say of a western distur- d bance which appeared today over a Iowa and of the prospects tomorrow = all over the country.
 Weather Unsettled
 'sFhe western disturbance will ad- l. vance east northeastward and be at = tended by unsettled weather and rains i, Tuesday, election day, in the Atlantic a states, upper Ohio valley and the re-
 zion of the Great Lakes, with some = probability of snow in northern Michi- - gan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. The ,a weather will be clearing and much
 cooler during Tuesday in the Gulf "a states, with the lower Ohio and Cen
 tral Mississippi valleys. Fair coo ,,, weather will prevail Tuesday over tho -, plains states, the Rocky Mountain
 states and all far western states" :, With addition of women 10 those ,,a who choose the electoral college. parts " leaders, of course, expect a vote great 10 ly swollen over that of 1916. ~ Harding Returns to Home.
