HEAVY VOTE
 IN STAMFORD

In Stratford, which has always been a Republican stronghold, the voters were out early, almost half the vote having been cast by 10:30. The women were apparently all taking advantage of their first chance to vote and were appearing at the polls in large numbers. According to re- ports Lonergan was running very strong, which seems to carry out the statement that Brandegee was to meet with a determined opposition. Treadwen. who is running for the office of state senator from the 25th senatorial. district on the Democratic ticket, is also reported to be making a fine run.

FIRST DISTRICT.

Voters of the First district turned out in good force after o'clock, and at 11:30 o'clock, total vote of sto had been cast. During the early hours voting was light. A rush was expected at noon, and it is believed that the total vote will be closed early There are 1,761 voters in this district but it was estimated today, that not more than S5 per cent of these will turn out.
 Although no approximate figures could be obtained, it was said at the polling station in the City Hall Food erss exceeded the men by quite q large figure this morning. Only a small percentage of the women voters asked for instructions on the ma chimes. and most tickets were said to have been cast straight. Very few of the women apparently cared to risk cutting on the machines.
 The first woman voter in the First district was Mrs. Theodore Stelber, of S17 Lafayette street. James F. Som CTS, Democratic candidate for alder man. was the first man voter to cast a ballot
 Quite an uproar was caused when Walter Nichols, of Cour1and street stepped up to vote. and found that someone had beaten him to it by vot- ing on his name. Nichols insisted that he be allowed to vote anyhow, and then declared that he would get
 out a mandamus. After the excite meth had quieted >wn somewhat, il
 was discovered that there were two Walter Nichols on the voting lists and both resided in Courtiand street Therefore, the second Walter" cast | his vote without further difficulty. A man named King, who also re-
 resides on Courtland street, experi- enced similar difficulties, but the
 trouble was settled without great ado.
 David s. Beach, independent candi- | date for president came forward with | the claim that his party lever on the
 machine was not working MT. Beach expressed much indignation over this
 state of affairs, and demanded an i'm | mediate adjustment. He was referred l to the States attorney.
 As in the other districts, both Re | publicans and Democrats claimed that fortune was smiling upon them
 "It looks fine for us,' was the com
 ment made by both sides. | SECOND DISTRICT

 morning. Not much of a crowd wa: expected at noon, inasmuch as mos i of the factories in that district were | closed for the day.
 | Whether or not it was due to earl1 l church services, it remains a fac
 that the women in the Second distric gave the men voters a hot race dur ing the morning. Out of the total O. more than HOO votes cast, it was es | timated that approxi-tely 500 wert boiled by women Many voters ap 1 peared at the polls immediately at Iter church services.
