GRAND ISLAND. Neb.. Nov. 3. (Spe
cial Telegram.) Fair weather and exceed
ingly active work on the part of the local
committee brought out the heaviest voto
ever polled In Hall county. The country
'districts are not behind the city districts
in this respect and the largest vote ever
polled Is the report from nearly every
precinct.
In the city the effort of the Railway
Men's Protective league and of the liquor
Interests behind Shallenberger ha re
sulted, according to the best Information
obtainable. In severe cutting on Williams
for commissioner and Shallenberger, and
to a Blighter extent on Norrls for con
gress. Word was put out to every country
committeeman, however, and It la hoped
ihat the railroad alignment has been off
set somewhat. It Is believed that the cut
ting went elsewhere.
FREMONT. Neb., Nov. I. (Bpectal
Telegram.) The election passed off
quietly and a full vote was cast
In this city, the total being over
1.800. The, railroad vote was the largest
ever cast, the Northwestern havlrur ar
ranged runs so that few men missed vot
ing. The bulk of the railroad vote, it Is
believed, was cast for Shallenberger and
Bryan. The usual amount of scratching
waa done and It will take a long lime to
count the tickets. Looal option people

workers today sent out word among the
prohibitionists ta vota for Sheldon and

FAIRVIEW. LINCOLN. Nov. 3. At 9:25
p. m. Mr. Bryan announced that he would
have no statement to moe tonight.
The sun parlor of his home turned Into n
temporary telegraph and newspaper office,
William J. Brynn tonight watched the re
turns with manifest Interest. He was how
ever, perhaps the moot unconcerned among
those who had assembled to learn the peo
ple's verdict. Mr. Bryan divided his time
between the sun parlor and his llbary,
where he got special reports from state
chairman and the national committee and
frequently came up stairs and read aloud
the reports he had received.
The returns from New York, particularly
from the upstate precincts, were of more
than usual Interest to the candidate, who
declared that tho democratic Increase over
the vote of 1904 was about what had been
expected. He rrade many Inqurles regard
ing the result In greater New York and
Ohio.
At Intervals during the early hours of
the day Mr. Bryan would come Into the
sun parlor and chat freely with the cor
respondents and by way of amusement he
brought out . a number of telegrams
of the "freak" kind which' he had received,
giving him advice as to what he should
do In case of his election. While waiting
for the detailed returns, Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan entertained a large company at din
ner in honor of the correspondents who had
been Identified with his campaign and who
accompanied him on his various tours. The
election for the time being was forgotten.
Previously to the dinner the guests as
sembled In the drswlng room and Mr.
Bryan treated them to a concert on the
Panola, the instrument being manipulated
f ( P
reJolned tha party , tne un par,or nd
began reading the returns. His daughters.
Mrs. Ruth Leavltt and Miss Grace, and
son William were among the group in the
sun parlor and spent most of the evening
keeping in close touch with the situation,
while Mrs. Bryan waa content to occa
sionally come Into the Toom, although the
candidate kept her thoroughly posted on
the returns.
At 6:15 o'clock democratic headquarters
In Chicago inquired of Mr. Bryan what
personal Information he had and he re
plied that It was to the effect that the
democrats were making gains where they
were expected
The presa and other bulletins giving the
latest returns were sent to Mr. Brysn In
his library, where he had gone after re
malnlng upstairs for a short time. "M.
read them carefully, but made no com
ment upon them.

National Chairman Hitchcock was early

workers and others prominent in republi
can circles, eagerly read the returns, paus

of an anxious Inquirer that he stood on his
original claim of 826 votea In the electoral
college. There waa leas confidence In the
early houre regarding the vote for gov
ernor, but by 8 o'clock, Mr. Hitchcock de
liberately expressed the opinion that Gov.
frnor Hughes would be re-eltced.
Congratulatory telegrams began to pour
In as early as t o'clock, and Mr. Sher
man sent In a personal telegram to Mr.
Hitchcock, saying:
"Pleuse accept my congraulatlons and
thanks for the seal and wisdom with which
you have conducted the campaign, today
successfully completed."

Half the Registration Cast by Eleven
O'clock In Morning; at
Capital.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Nov. S Bpeclal Telegrams
Lincoln never before saw so many early
votes cast as during the present election.
By 11 o'clock half the registered voters had
been at the polls and cast their ballots. It
was evident a good many scratched ballots
were being deposited In the boxes, but It
was thought as a rule the legislative fight
waa responsible for this, though It Is ap
parent a heavier Bryan vote than usual in
this city Is to be recorded.
The republican workers were able to se
cure a large number of the available car
riages In the city and the streets were
alive with placarded vehicles attending to
the work of getting out all wh had regis
tered. Republican wagona bore the ad
monition. "Vote the atralght republican
ticket." Democratic carriages were plas
tered over with the one word, "Bryan."
It Is apparent that the energies of the en
tire democrstlc party have been devoted
to the head of ihe ticket and that Snellen,
brrger and those coming along behind must
take what la handed them.
This morning it waa reported that the
democratic mayor and chief of police of
Havelock. the Burlington ahop auburb of
Lincoln, had been Intimidating voters i,'
a constable from here was sent out to take
chsrgs of two men accused of Illegal bal
loting. Following is a record of the votes csst

OYSTER BAY. N. Y., Nov. 3. On what

carpet-making business, to be with his
father when he voted. In the president's
party also came his secretary. William
Loeb, Jr., and several of the White House
executive staff who have a voting residence
in Oyster Bay.
A large crowd was on hand at the sta
tion to welcome the president and they
urged forward when the train pulled In,
eager to grasp his hand, knowing it would
probably be the last time they might shake
hands with a president of the 1'nited
States voting as a resident of their village.
Following their usual custom, they formed
in line and passed before the president,
who shook hands with every one. Some of
the villagers, knowing the president's love
of flowers, presented him with' bouquets.
As he drove away to the business part of
town and the polling place, the crowd ap
plauded. The president responded by wav.
Ing his hat enthusiastically. Mrs. Roose
velt drove on to the family home at Saga
more Hill.
It waa 9 23 a. m. when the president and
'lis son appeared at the polling place In
Sleess hall. He shook hands with every
body at the polls and then walked up to
the table, where the ballot clerk an
nounced: "Theodore 'Roosevelt, ballot No. 141."
Tha president remained in the booth one
minute and when he emerged carefully
watched the clerk deposit the paper in the
ballot box. The president then walked out
side the railing and chatted with by
standers. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., was
handed ballot Nb. 142 by the election clerk.
He took twice as long a time as his father
to mark it. When re had deposited his
ballot the president greeted him smilingly
and patted him on the shoulders.
After Secretary Loeb had voted, the presi
dent and his son drove to Sagamore Hill.
The president and Mrs. Roosevelt left
here on their special train at 11:40 a. m.
