last weeks regular election has been
met today with O cold apathy on the
part of the city's voting public.
Up to press time various polls
were reporting votes being cast in
amounts ranging from IS to rs and
despite a momentary let-up Of the
storm no notable increase was seen.
Election officials stationed at the
various polling places, most of whom
worked in the last election, were
keenly aware Of the sharp contrast
between todays casting of votes and
that Of last Tuesdays regular cleo
ton.
Those voters who did appear,
soaked with rain and clad in steam
ing rain-coats, consisted mainly of
those who have always strongly adj
hered to the dictum that casting
vote was both a duty and privi-
lege.
1t was estimated by various Off
Gals Of the Republican party and
Democrats as we'll that it would be
surprising If more than $500 votes
were polled today in the entire city.
Various interpretations placed on
this possibility resulted in the con-
clusion that in view Of such a light
vote the outcome Of today's event
would be a close one.

Leaders Fight "7hreat
OF Run Away Initiation"

Washington. Nov. 9-(UP)--The
Administration leaders In Congress
Scotched reports today that they
would compromise on the subsidy
issue by postponing action and
opened a campaign against "the
worst threat OF runaway imitation
in history"
They had two immediate plans
for holding the line OH demands for
mountainous" wage and price n
creases:
/. A fight TO the finish with the
Farm Bloc over demands for out
having food price subsidies. They
claimed enough votes to uphold
a possible presidential veto OF such
proposal.
2. Quick action on the new tax
bill, still In the House Ways and
Means committee. 1t would soak up
approximately $2,253, 100000 Of the

Conscious OF Warning
Democrats, particularly In the
House, said any disruption OF the
hold-the-line policy caused by re-
moval OF subsidies would have to
be accounted for by Congress. They
were conscious OF President Roose-
velts warning In his food message
last week that any break In the
hold-the-line policy through such
action would be blamed on Congress
Republicans insisted that the line
against imitation was cracked wide
open when the government signed o
