thousand Paris Americans will get their
first news of the presidential election at
about the time they are having their
rolls and coffee tomorrow morning

Some of the most enthusiastic parti-

At least three cafes patronized largely
by an American clientele have arranged

offices of number of the big news
papers.
Celebrations will be deferred until to-
morrow night when. no matter who
wins, good French champagne is eX-
pected to drown lot of disappointment
or stimulate partisan rejoicing.
The prospect of voting sent many
Americans, nomlnally living in Paris,
back home. Up to the very last posi-
BILE date of sailing, October 27, vessels
carried many passengers whose only
reason for the voyage was to be able to
cast their ballots for their favorite cam

The election campaign attracted
great attention among the French

VIRGINIA BALLOT

Winchester, Fredericksburg
and Other Cities Report
Unprecedented Voting.

From many sections of Virginia to-
day information of the voting indicated
the largest total in the political history
of the State.
Winchester, Lynchburg, Fredericks-
burg and Manassas and other sections
reported unprecedented heavy early
balloting. In Winchester and at the
nearby county polls the rate was being
steadily maintained at vote every
minute and a half, and election judges
reported that the women were out in
numbers the like of which have never
been seen in that section.
In Manassas and throughout Prince
William County the early vote volume
was far above any previous election
County politicians saw Smith gaining
a substantial lead in this section, which
in 1924 gave Davis BAT votes, Coolidge
269 and La Toilette So.
In the Fredericksburg section the
vote was large, but not as heavy as In
other sections. Anti-Smith Democrats
it was reported, we're remaining away
from the polls altogether, but the heavy
turnout of the women was expected
more than to make up for those who
stayed away and record vote WaS

a majority.
