Norwich bulletin., 1920-11-02

New York, Nov 1.-(By The A. P.)-I The seven presidential candidates of 1920 tonight had submitted their cases to their fury and awaited tomorrow the verdict of the electorate. The hustle of months ended tonight at national headquarters where campaign strategists rested, their summing up com- plete. The candidates retired to seclu- sion to receive the decision of the Amer ican people. With the people rested the task of ringing down the curtain on the national drama of electing a leader for the next four years.
 With the voters rested also the duty of deciding which party should control the senate and which party should control the house of representatives. With the cleo torate 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 ap-. 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-minute reports from state chairmen. but almost as closely they had studied the reports of the govern ment weather bureau.
 Seasoned campaigners reckoned that at this stage. skies played nearly as heavy a role as the workers whose period of service had ended. For the skies alone would determine the turnout of voters, particularly in isolated sections of the country where heavy rains would upset the best plans for transporting voters to the polls There are districts with streams which flooded cannot be crossed even on mule-back, and in certain states the contest is close every ballot plays it's part.
 In general. this is what the weather man had to say of western disturbances which appeared today over Iowa. and of the prospects tomorrow all over the country:
 'The western disturbance will advance east northward and be attended by un- settled weather and rains Tuesday, cleo ton day. in the Atlantic states, the upper Ohio valley and the region of the Greai Lakes with some probability of snow 1T northern Michigan, Wisconsin and Mime sota. The weather will be clearing and much cooler during Tuesday in the Gull states. Tennessee. the lower Ohio ana central Mississippi valleys. Fair, coo weather will prevail Tuesday over tht plains states. the Rocky Mountain states and all far western states"
 With addition of women to those who choose the electoral college party leaders of course, expect vote greatly swollen over that of 1916 Should the skies open the downpour could hardly discourage enough voters to hold the total below tha' of four years ago And the ballot count CTS are not expecting a smaller, bus mucher task-so large indeed that th' count may possibly be known much latel than in other presidential years.
