(By Leased Wire to The Times) Colubia, S. C., Nov. 3 Election day Is passing quietly in South Caro 'llna, and very little interest la being manifested and a comparatively light vote is being cast. The democrats will receive practically the solid vote and the majority over the Held will prob ably show 40,000. In two congres sional districts the republicans offer candidates, but the ticket. Is "only nominal opposition. , The weather is favorable throughout, the state. A Matter of Majority. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 3 In Ala bama, as ever. It is a mere matter of the majority which will be secured by the democratic electors. ; There has been little Interest in the national campaign, but three proposed amend ments to the state constitution prob ably will bring out a good vote. These amendments provide for a re turn to the biennial sessions of legis lature, state construction of high ways and the creatloa. of new coun ties. On the last two of the propo sitions, warm fights have been waged. The. republicans have conducted vigorous campaign in the last few weeks, many speakers from other states being imported. It is not prob Bble, the authorities declare, that i their usual vote will be greatly aug mented. About 120,000 votes will be polled, and it is claimed that of the republican nominees will receive between 35,000 and 4 0,000. Tom Watson's State, (By Leased Wire to The Times) Atlanta, Nov. 3 It Is raining throughout Georgia today, but owing to unusual Interest in the 'national campaign a good vote will be cast. The democratic leaders expect to carry the state by its usual substan tial majority, but on the other hand the republicans claim a large Increase In votes for their candidate. Thomas E. Watson, populist candi date, has confined his campaign al most exclusively to Georgia, and it is conceded his vote will be larger than ever before, probably about 30,000. Hlsgen and Graves, on the inde pendence ticket, will receive a good complimentary vote, by reason oj Colonel Graves belonging in Georgia. Taking into consideration all the influences that bear on this campaign It would seem that Mr. Bryan's ma jority will be reduced to less than 40.000. (The Georgia congressmen are to be elected, too, but there is practically no opposition to any of them. Local interest is centered in the two constitutional amendments sub mitted for ratification one permit ting counties to levy a local tax for police and sanitary purposes, the other to provide pensions for all con federate veterans, no matter whether needed. Mississippi. (By Leased Wire to The Times) Jackson,. Miss., Nov. 3 Election In Mississippi dawned gloomy. It is: raiding at almost all points in the state and voting will be small. , Not over 50,000 ballots will be cast, 45,000 of which will be for Bryan. .: ' Large Vote In Kentucky.

Independence League Watchers Not Allowed in Booths. (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, Nov. ;I-Heavy voting marked the early hours of the elec tion day, the rush for the polls be ginning at the t! o'clock opening hour. '.Lines of voters stood in front of each polling place even before the opening hour and the rush ; grew steadily. The crowds were greater una the citizens voted earlier in the ileasely populated oust and west side down town districts of the-city. The Bow ery was awake before daylight and cast the heaviest early vole In its history. Citizens determined not. to bp cheated out of their rights were at the polls as soon as the doors opened to thwart any plot to steal the elec tion. ',.-.. All the police In the city were on duty, responding to an order from Po lice Commissioner Bingham, who as signed 600 of his men to the central office to be In readiness all day, and the usual reserves were at the sta tion house. The number on duty at the central office was twice the usual quota on election day. Special arrangements were made to have patrol wagoas ready all day at. the various statioa houses and at headquarters to transport men where- ever needed. Two uniform men were assigned to each of the 1,603 polling places In the city, this alone accounting for 3,266 men. They reported at the voting places at 5:30 o'clock and de livered to the election officials the official ballots and all the election j supplies delivered to them by the board of elections. ; Commissioner Bingham directed his men not to serve any warrants they may have charging electors with Illegal registration until such electors actually cast their votes, or attempt to do so, and that they must not in terfere with such electors having an opportunity to cast their votes. Special deputies from the office of William Leary, state superintendent of elections, have under, survellance a number of men suspected of being members of a band of 259, will have been brought from .Philadelphia to vote illegally. The men being watched were followed from a 23d street saloon, In which 50 were re ported to have been coached on Sun day. '; Superintendent Leary turned over to Theodore Bingham, police com missioner, a number of warrants which have been sworn out for the arrest of the men illegally registered, the warrants to be Berved as soon as the men attempt to vote: A consid erable number of these warrants were sworn out on evidence that was brought to light by the new law which requires the man registering to sign his name and to give the name of the landlord or person With whom he lives. . Several prima facie cases of Illegal registration have been made through j the operation of this lawand some of them have been flagrant. In several Instances the' man registering bei tween the time he was first asked his name and the time he was asked to sign his name, became either forget ful or confused at the questions and signed a name -other than that he gave as hts own when entering the registration place. Ia all such cases warrants have been Issued. In addition to the police there was a special guard of 550 special depu ties of the superintendent ot election at the polls, mis is me tun nura - were stationed In districts where there Is most reason to expect at tempted frauds, while the others were held at the election office at Sixth avenue and 4 2d street to Investigate such special complaints as they come ia.. , . :-.v;. : The early voting was rapid and orderly, The average on the Bowery Continued on Second Page.)

Over Five Hundred Votes Ahead in Raleigh Town ship at 12 O'clock THE ELECTION QUIET Workers nt the Foils Very Active W. J. Andrews Will Probably Lead the Republican Tickefr Very Few Republicans Have Any Idea of Car. rylng the County Many Expect to Reduce Democratic Majority The Vote by Wards in Raleigh Town ship at Noon Other Election News Election day is here and the same old election day - stunts are being pulled off all over the land. A sort of suppressed thrill of excitement Is in the very air itself a feeling that !o"e could scarcely fail to be con scious of even if he knew nothing of the stirring campaign justing. .Par ty leaders this morning are claiming'' the earth. A democrat just from the hist ward polling places declare at noon that the democrats were lead ing in a 10 to 1 walk-away. A repub lican from the second ward declared that at 10 o'clock twenty-five men had voted at one division and twenty-three of these voted straight re publican tickets. Down in the third ward one man said, dolefully, that over a dozen niggers had voted. "What ..sort. of a registrar have we got down there, anyway," broke in another. It is generally conceded that Wake county will go democratic. Sheriff J. H. Sears says that the lowest man ion the democratic ticket will have a i i ittjorlty of 1,004) voteei- -Others axe- miu iiuit.c; uviiyjuxoiiu,,.. inivw nno confident that thi cooaty wilj. stay in the deuiowatic column .with auSstan tial majorities to her Credit.'' It Is generally admitted by the democrats that Buck Andrews will poll the largest vote of any man on the repub lic 111 ticket. The republicans are either very confident or are whistling mighty loud to keep up their courage, for they are claiming the county. They 11 e banking especially on W J. An drews.: -. At 12 o'clock today the vote in Raleigh township stood as follows: First Ward, First Division: 192 democrats, 22 republicans and scratches;.' Second Division, 73 demo crats, 55 republicans. . Second Ward, First Division: 112 democrats. 21 republicans; Second Division, 93 democrats and 40 repub licans. . ' Third Ward, First Division: 1 .13 democrats and 19 republicans; Sec ond Division, 15 democrats and 58 republicans. Fourth Ward, First Division: 5(5 democrats and 25 republicans; SC' ond Division, 15 democrats and 49 republicans. Outside East, North Division: 7:1 democrats, 78 republicans; South Division, ''? democrats and 6 repub licans. Outside West, North Division: 135 democrats, 35 republicans; South Division, 44 democrats and 40 repub licans. This gives a total of 1,018 demo crats and 439 republicans and scratches, giving the democrats a ma jority in the city of 539 at 12 o'clock. 1 his Is just about one half of the reg istered vote of the township. It Is confidently asserted at democratic headquarters that the democratic majority In the city will be over a ( hoiisaild. Advices received by tele phone and telegraph from all parts of the county seem to Indicate a dem ocratic majority In the county of 700 or 800. Everybody Is hard at work and what the next few hours may show 1 it is Impossible to forecast. It looks like a big democratic victory at this stage of the game. Later Itenort. At 3:30 the vote stood about as follows: Outside East, South 120 voted: 105 democrats, 15 republicans. Outside East, North 166 voted: 7$ democrats, 88 republicans. (7 or 8 scratches). First Ward, First Division. .849 voted: 220 democrats, 29 republi cans. (Very little scratching.) First Ward, Second Division 113 voted: 98 democrats, 95 republicans. (A great deal of scratching.) Second Ward, Second Division 168 voted: 140 democrats, 28 repuk (Cuotlnued on Fifth Page.) . 4 4 1
