LOCAL POLITICAL
CLUBS ARE ACTIVE
Republicans and Democrats
Help to Get Out Nearby
State Vote.

The Republican and Democratic head
quarters in Washington were extremely
busy places today. The anomalous sit
uaton of votelesS Washington, which is
active in furnishing transportation by
automobile to get voters to their polling
precincts in Maryland and Virginia, was
impressive on this Humiliation day."
All day long, since the first streakS of
dawn, party workers at the Republican
headquarters, at 1923 Fifteenth street,
the Democratic headquarters, 16 jack
son place, and the Al Smith Democratic
Club, Southern Building, have been sup
plying automobiles to workers in Wash
ington to get them to their polling
places. This work was complicated by
the fact that at many polling places the
and by repeated complaints that efforts
were being made in some places to block
some voters from exercising their right
of franchise.
Throngs to Hear Returns.
Early this afternoon people began to
gather at each of these party headquar-
;ers where "open house" will be held into
the early morning hours for reception
md dissemination of the returns from all
parts of the country
The election returns will be received
tonight over special wire and two
radios at the headquarters of the Re-
publican State committee of the Dis
trict, 1913 Fifteenth street. Members of
the Hoover and Curtis Club of the Dis
trict and their friends have been in
vited to gather there to hear the results
during the evening.
A. E. Chaffee, who has been director
of information at the Fifteenth street
Office during the campaign, said both
floors of the headquarters would be util-
lied for the reception of the returns.
Special Service Planned.
At the headquarters of the Democratic
State central committee and the Fed
Grafton of Democratic and Smith Rob-
inson Clubs, 16 Jackson place, a pow
erful radio has been installed. Expert
election workers will tabulate the re-
turns as fast as they are received and
National Committeeman Costello and
State Chairman Colpoys will interpret
these returns. Special request" service
will be given for groups of Government
employees who desire returns from their
home States.
At the AL Smith Club headquarters
in the Southern Building there has been
an ebbing and flowing throng to get the
latest returns. BY radio the results and
interpretative comments by experts are
being received.

HOOVER AND CURTIS
Messages Expressing Confidence Of
Candidates Success Are
Telegraphed.

Telegrams expressing confidence that
Hoover and Curtis will be elected today
were sent to the Republican presiden-
tial and vice presidential candidates by
the League of Republican Women fol-
lowing a meeting last night at the
Washington Club.
The meeting, over which Mrs. E. A.
Hartman, president, presided, was adj
dressed by E. F. Colladay, national
committeeman of the District; Mrs
Virginia White Speel, national COM
mitteewoman; Samuel j. Prescott, chair
man of the Republican State commit
tee, and Mrs. Edward E. Gam, sister
of Senator Curtis
Other members of the State COM
mittee were present. Mrs. Ruby Smith

under way, quick progress is expected
to be made and the final result known
in several hours.
The heaviest balloting in Arlington
County was reported at the Claredon
precinct, where the votes are being
cast at an average Of 100 an hour. In
the Lyon Park precinct $40 votes had
been dropped into the ballot box at
10:30 o'clock. Three hundred and
seven had voted sat the Virginia High
lands precinct at 1880 o'clock and 400
at the Ballston precinct at the same
hour. The Del Ray precinct also re-
ported large vote, and East Falls
Church appeared to be the only poll
ing place in the county where the vote
was normal.
The lack of adequate voting booths
and election clerks delayed the voting
somewhat at both the Clarendon and
Del Ray precincts. At the latter only
two booths we're erected for the 1,700
qualified voters. but when the rush
became great two more were added sew
eral hours later.
approximately 200 voters were in
line at the Clarendon polls when they
opened and within a half an hour the
number had swelled to about 300. At
least one-third of them were women
who accompanied their husbands, Some
of the women brought their children
to the polls and left them in automo-
biles while they voted. The slow prog
ress of the line toward the voting
booth in the Clarendon Fire Engine
House caused quite few of the voters
to drop out. This crowd, like those
around other voting places in the
county, appeared good-humored and
exchanged repartee over the outcome
of the election A large picture OF Gov.
Smith nailed to telephone pole near
the voting place by Democratic cam
paign worker was the object OF consid-
cradle comment.
Scattered reports from the various
precincts in Fairfax County indicate
that the vote there will be the greatest
in history. The largest number OF
votes are being cast, of course, at the
Herndon and West Falls Church pre-
cincts, the two largest in the county
The Herndon precinct has 725 reg
istered voters and at IL O'Clock nearly
one-half of them had cast their ballots.
Three hundred and ten of the 625
qualified voters in the West Falls Church
precinct had voted at the same hour.

NEW YORK, November 6.-The

Of the percentage of votes cast in the
Bronx and Queens, where paper ballots
we're being used.
Police Commissioner Warren has as
signed almost half of his force of
$1,000 men to see that order is pre-
served at the 3,843 polling places in
the city. The main duty of the $500
special deputies from the office of
George z. Medalie, special assistant at
torney general in charge of elections,
will be to detect frauds in voting.
Although the sky was overcast, rain
held off and election officials were gen.
orally of the opinion that the vote would
be large.
Several Arrests Made.
Two negroes and a white man were
dTTeSG6Q IUI llcSuI NOIltlB WAl6Ll tllSy
presented themselves at the polls in East
18th street. The white man was Isaac
Mouber, % years old, student phar-
macist, arrested for voting on his IA
theirs papers.
At almost the same time five other
men were arrested in rapid succession
at other voting places.
John D. Rockefeller, jr., and Mrs.
Rockefeller walked from their residence.
at 10 West Fifty-fourth street, to vote in
public school in West Fifty-f1fth street,
arriving there at 1880 o'clock. They
voted leisurely as there was no one
waiting.

TOPHAM MOURNS
OVER HUMILIATION
Black Crepe DrapeS Suf-
frage Advocates Home
as Election Arrives.

When neighbors awoke this morning
to find the brick house at 43 U street
draped in mourning they were genuine
ly concerned, and some of them hasten
ed to find out what was the matter in
the home of their old friend, Washing
ton Topham, long prominent in local
affairs and because of his interest in
District of Columbia history.
When they inquired of Mr.. Topham,
however, he smilingly assured them that
the broad band of black crepe which
traversed the entire front of the house
under the Second-Story windows was
not significant of personal bereavement,
but was simply the expression of a
principle.
Mr. Topham has been lifelong resi-
dent of the National Capital, and today,
when 100000 fellow Americans from
Maine to California, day laborers and
bank presidents together, are exercising
their rights as freemen IN one of the
most exciting political contests in the
Nations history he has not the, right
to vote. He had merely entered fully
into the spirit Of Washingtons "day of
humiliation" an expression of protest
to the Nation over the unfortunate sit
uation of residents of the District of
Columbia.
Mr. Topham has long been promi-
nent worker for District suffrage. He
sees no justification, Mr.. Topham ex-
planned today, for the gross discrimina-
ton between Washingtonians and other
Americans on election day. So he
draped his house in black last night so
that it would be strikingly evident when
the neighborhood awoke In the morning.
Besides decorating the front with
crepe he placed on the front door a
specimen ballot from Prohibition party
caucus which his son sent him from
California this Fall and also with printed
matter urging suffrage for Washington.
