 Record System Among Members.
 All voting records were smashed at the. local polls today. comparing the
 number of votes cast in the morning 1ror this election as against other election days here. The voters crowded the Town hall continually, despite the drizzle and heavy rain at times and the bad weather did not have any effect upon the women, who came in large numbers to cast their ballots.
 At o'clock ,&Dne hour after the polls opened. there were approximate ly 164 votes cast, which is regarded as a high mark for this town. After o'clock this number grew steadily and at 10 o'clock there were more than four times that number who had voted. ~ A. H. Dresser, moderator, had for his checkers Clarence Anderson, Charles Smith, Mrs. Fred Powers and , Mrs. Charles H. Curtiss The ma chimes were attended to by John Gleason. Carl Nilsson, Frank Smith, George Bartlett and G. s. Butler The demonstrators were Merton 1 Lamb James Tierney and Edward Barrows.
 Both parties had automobiles busy gathering in votes but this was hardly necessary as the interest in this elec- tion is greater than any other and the voters turned out without any en- couragement.
 The polls will close at o'clock sharp tonight and it will be but a few minutes after that when the re- suits will be known and announced. The republicans are anticipating landslide by big majority, while the democrats are equally as. certain that they will win by hundreds.
