NEW YORK. November 2.-The
American voter today is recording his
judgment on the personalities and is
sues that have come to him in virtual
ly a crossword puzzle campaign.
Control of the Seventeen Congress
and Of nearly two-thirds of the State
governments, as well as the extent to
which prohibition is likely to figure in
political affairs in the near future, are
the major issues resting upon his de-
ciSion.
Although a host of candidates and
party managers kept the stump and
hall ringing with campaign notes until
a late hour last night, they We're out
early today in an effort to swell the
march of voters toward the balloting
places.
They were spurred to a somewhat
unusual effort in this direction by re-
ports from many sections of the coun-
try that a feeling almost of apathy
had settled upon large groups OF the
electorate.
Rain and Snow Reported.
The Weather Bureau today gave
the following description of election
day weather:
Pressure conditions are normally
active The disturbance over Lake
Michigan yesterday has advanced to
the region around Lake Ontario. 1t
has produced light rains from Mich
igan and Indiana eastward to the
coast, while clearing and colder has
p advanced to cover Ohio and Ken
lucky.
Rains have developed over Texas
Louisiana and southern Mississippi
and Alabama, and will extend over
the rest of the East Gulf and South
Atlantic States today. 1t is raining
this morning at New York. New
Haven. Albany, Canton, Savannah,
Montgomery, Pensacola, Meridian,
New Orleans, Corpus Christi and
Helena, and showing at Portland,
Me; Syracuse, Montreal, Marquette
and Winnipeg.
Clearing will develop eastward
over Northern sections today, while
rain will cover most of the South
ern States, including the Tennessee
Valley"
In New York City and some other
places mentioned in the weather re-
port as experiencing rain the skies
cleared during the morning, result
ing in speeding up of voting, which
had been notice1bly light while the
: rain lasted. News dispatches men,
toned that it was showing in Buffalo
as we'll as Syracuse.

Border States Claimed. Too.

The four border States-Ken entucky,

Gratis believe they have 4 better than

Idaho. Indiana. Nevada. oregon. Utah

run through the whole fabric OF the
campa .Cns and. in eight States the
voters are expressing their views on
this question in referenda. These
States are New York. Nevada. Wis

before the tumult Of the campaign had
died away.
Democratic leaders still made claim

would enable them to wreSt control of

ON the other hand, spokesmen for
the now dominant party declared such
contentious We're optimistic bubbles,
which will burst with the counting Of
