 Heavy Vote Looms
 Heavy voting was indicated in the national election here being held today. The remarkably high total of about 1000 votes was cast in the first two hours of voting, that is from 6 a. m. to 8 a. m.
 It is quite unusual for voters to have to wtit in line during these first two hours as voting then is comparatively light. In fact it has been the practice here for the major portion of the vote to be cast in the afternoon
 AS there are 7,448 eligible to vote here, the fact that 1000 voted in the first two hours is strong indica- ton that probably record vote will be polled here today.
 Daniel Connors, democrat, and Minicucci, republican, were practic. ally in a tie for being the first male votes in tie first ward. MT. Mini. cucci was the first to have his name checked off by the checkers but MT. Connors waz the first to reach one of the two voting booths there, MT. Minicucci not being allowed to vote at the time his name was checked because 1t was not yet 6 a. m. MT. Minicucci then entered the voting booth and both voted about the same time. Mrs. Theresa Pal mer was tf :, first woman voter in th, first ward.
 Mary Russ, of High street was the first woman voter in the second ward and Howard Sanger dorf of Carroll street was the first male to cast his ballot in that ward.
 In the third ward. Mrs. Henry Zwick was the first woman to vote Patrodman Anthony Farrar was the first male voter.
 During the first hour, 184 votes were cast in the first ward, l35 in the second and l46 in the third, total of 465. Enough voted in the second hour to bring 1. up to about 1000.
 The sky was partly overcast al 8:30 this morning but up to then it was clear, an indication of "Re" publican weather" The saying here is that If the day is bright and sun shiny, 1t allows a bigger republican vote here. If 1t is rainy, the saying goes many republicans don't bother to vote, whereas the democrats vote regardless of t.;e kind of weather,
 Workers Active
 Party workers were active early in the day. There were an unusually large number of cars on hand. The democrats had headquarters in each of the three wards as did the re- publicans s.lso and the z. o. D. work directed from It's new Park Place headquarters.
 --iere were early reports that r..-.ny republicans were voting the republican ticket but cutting Lan- don in favor of Roosevelt. Both par" ties claimed most of the important Swedish section vote. In town elections, many members of this section who ordinarily voted repub' Hear, voted for Warden John J. Sheridan because they were pleased with his work in behalf of residents of that district.
 The usual excitment that seems automatically to be aroused on election day prevailed here today. Leaders of both parties were con- fident. It will be interesting to see just how mu split voting will take place. Some republican candidates have mailed to many residents slips indicating how to split the ticket for them.
 Hehetofore however 1t has been a rarity when split voting elects candidate. Such might have been the case in lo35 when Town Clerk Louis Schiller. popular in both par ties but running as a republican, won.
 He defeated his democratic op- pcnent by a slim margin but ran far ahead of his ticket to do so.
