BY the Associated Press:

by the ASSociateo Press.
CHICAGO. November A choice.
It involved for the first time the Ques-
ton whether man or a woman should
go to the United States Senate, was be-
fore Illinois voters today.
The decision was left to them after
hectic campaign In which the candi-
dates-Representative Ruth Hanna Nc
Cornlick, Republican, James Hamilton
Lewis, Democrat and Mrs. Lottie Hol-
man ONeill-had stumped from one
variety OF prohibition, the
World Court, unemployment, campaign
expenditures and other topics.
All three of them, their speech-mak-
ing over, awaited the deluge of ballots
with professed feeling Of optimism,
and there were indications that the
widespread interest and favorable
weather would bring out a heavy vote.
The time for voting was 6 IN. to pm.
In the cities and am. to PM in the
country Districts.
Differ on Major Issues.
There were wide differences Of
opinion among the candidates as TO
what constituted the major issues Of
the campaign. Mrs. Mccormick, who
agreed to abide by the decision Of the
voters on a prohibition referendum.
viewed business ailments and the
avoidance Of foreign alliances" as the
paramount issues Lewis contended
liquor was the leading question. Mrs.
ONeill, backed by the Anti-Saloon
League, saw prohibition and unemploy.
ment as the leading issues.
The candidates finished their speech
making last night. Mrs. Mccormick,
who, among other things. has stressed
her opposition to the World Court, call
ing 1t the back door of the League Of
Nations" told radio audience that
today's election will determine whether
we are to have for the next few years
in Washington a divided authority be-
tween our Chief Executive and the
Congress" Lewis also spoke. on the
radio, asking for repeal Of the eight
zenith amendment and the substitution.
in its place, of State enforcement Of
the liquor laws.
Attacks Primary Expenditures.
In her final plea Mrs. O'Neill also
mentioned excessive campaign funds"
as an important question. Throughout
the campaign she had attacked Mrs.
McCormick's expenditures in the April
primary.
In addition to the senatorial contest
the voters had before them the selec-
ton of the States IS Representatives
and the prohibition referendum, involv-
ing three queStions-repeal of the
eighteenth amendment and the Illinois
prohibition act and modification Of the
Volstead law to permit beverages
which are not in fact intoxicating as
determined in accordance with the laws
Of the respective States" as well as an
amendment of the State constitution to
permit women to serve on juries.

LOUISVILLE, KY, November 4.-If
q close race for control Of the National
House of Representatives develops in
todays election, the party to hold the
balance of power may not be known I'M
til after the delayed count is completed
in Kentucky.
Kentucky's new election law provides
that county election boards begin tabu-
lating the vote the day after the cleo
ton instead of individual precinct tab
ulations after the polls close. Under the
new system, the result is not known
until the board has reviewed the entire
vote of the county. In the case of
larger communities. several days will
probably be required to determine the
result.
System Tried in Primary.
The new law was tried for the first
time in the August primary. Judging
from that experience, the result of Ken
tucky's congressional races probably will
not be known until 48 hours after the
polls close. Senatorial candidates were
unopposed in the primary, so there is
no way of judging how long 1t will take
to determine that race.
Should control of the House Of Rep
resentatives depend upon the lineup OF
Kentucky's delegation of IL Represent
atives, after the returns in other States
are tabulated, it will probably not be
known which party will hold the bal

Mammoth Cave Listed
Among World Wonders

From the San Antonio Evening News.
Mammoth Cave in Kentucky Is men,
toned in nearly every catalogue of the
worlds natural wonders. 1t is one Of
the most beautiful, as we'll as largest,
caverns. Explorers have charted about
100 miles of underground passageways,
which connect spacious chambers, pits
and domes. The cavern holds q large
subterranean stream, Echo River-So
called from the wonderful feverbera-
tons of sound along its course-and
many tributaries -"
OF course, there always has been a
strong feeling that such natural WON
der rightfully belonged to all the people.
and that Mammoth Cave should be a
national park. A few years ago the
State acquired the site and offered it to
the Federal Government for that pur-
pose. The offer was accepted on con-
dition that the State purchase addi-
tional land about the cave for such
uses. The Kentucky Legislature lately
passed bill appropriating one and one
half million dollars to that end, which
assures consummation of the move.
The great cavern is fitting gift to the
Nation, and most welcome as contribute
ing to better balanced park system,
geographically.
