Spirited voting in Bangor.

BANGOR, Me-, Sept 13.-spirited
voting characterized the elections here
today, women seeming to vie with the
men in getting to the polls early up to
the noon hour. The vote was rec
ord breaking one in spite of rainy
weather and the polls presented lively
scenes with vast numbers of women of
both parties on hand to assist women
voters. Special women clerks were on
duty at each voting place. Owing to
poor traffic conditions the rain kept
women from casting their votes here
today in state congressional and county
elections.
1t was estimated that the women 5
vote would augment the total vote at
the last election at least so per cent.

The audience was not large, in fact ie
