Four ls- tues of outstanding: significance tre more or less involved In the United States elections taking place today. No decisions regard log those issues can be voiced in the voting, but politicians are looking to the results of the poll ing to indicate the popular trend. May Enter League. Entry of the United States into the league of nations may follow any carrying of the congressional election for the democrats. James M. Cox of Ohio, democra tic candidate for the presidency in 1920, returned from Europe re cently and launched a vigorous campaign for the Wilsonian pro gram, while President Haramg adhered to his policy of opposing all participation in all European affairs. The character of the next Uni ted States tariff probably will be decided by the senatorial elections. Candidates for the upper house of both parties have made this an issue in their campaigns. jProiibitiott Affected. The future of prohibition stay lie influenced to some extent by voting on state referendums. j?vr ttates, Illinois,, Ohio, Massachu setts and California are submit ting prohibition plebiscites, the first two with a view to legalizing the manufacture and sale of beer and light wines, the last two to establishing. state prohibition en dorsement regulations in harmony with the Volstead law. - Presidential election prospects for 1924 are believed by many as likely to be foreshadowed by the result of the bitter contest for the governorship of New York. It is felt that the large electoral college vote ot New York state may be the determining factor in the next presidential campaign and politicians are awaiting anxi ously to learn how "New York is going." . L IS FOUND INSANE W. P. Thacker, said by police to have confessed to an assault on a 10-year-old Salem girl, was a former inmate ot the state hos pital for the Insane and was re turned there yesterday afternoon. Officials said that Thacker made his escape from the Institution here in 1913. Thacker was taken Into' custody Sunday night as he was about to leave town on an Oregon Electric train. His two little boys are at Present being cared for by the police. The little Salem girl wasnot injured by Thacker, it was said: OVER DOUBLE THE NUMBER In the ten months ending October 81, 1922.

Spangler, Pa., Nov. 7. (By As sociated Press.) Thirteen addi tional bodies were taken from the mine of the Reilly Coal company here bringing the total dead re covered to 63. Thirteen more bodies were in the mine, rescuers said, and 32 injured were in the miners hospital An explosion yesterday entombed the men. Mine rescue experts said they had explored all but two of the headings and did not expect to find any more bodies. Leaders of rescuers summarized the situation at that hour: Men In mine when explosion occurred not more than 112; bod ies recovered 63; bodies located in mine 13; injured in hospital 32. Total accounted for 108. There was still some uncertain ty as to the number of men who went into the mine yesterday but it was pointed out that if the to tal was 112 as some authorities believed ,the missing four miners would probably be found In the eighth heading where the water had risen so rapidly that explora tion this morning had been Im possible. Even If these men had gone Into the mine, it was assert ed, they had probably perished. LIMIT OF PATIENCE Paris. Nov. 7. The French government appears to have reached the limit of its patience in dealing with the Turk and is tending more and more to stiffen its attitude toward the Angora government. This is the interpretation given in political circles here to the sailinir today of the dreadnaught Jean Bart from Toulon to Join the allied fleed at Constantinople in the face ot the Angora govern ment's demand that allied war ships seek permission before en tering Turkish ports. The allied troops now In Con stantinople are regarded as suf ficient to maintain order unless there should be a general upris ing of the Turks, which is look ed upon, as improbable.

' 2 Human Leg Bones FoundToday Buried On Salem Property Was there, many many years ago, a murder In -Salem which naver came to light? While excavating on the T. G. Bligh property, at the corner of Court and High streets, this morn ing, workers brought to the sur face two human leg bones.

It was held possible that further remains might be found it the men should dig deeper. ' Fifty years ago the Kansas ho tel stood on the property where the bones were found. Until re cently the land was owned by the Elks who sold It a few months ago to Mr. Bligh. Officials were unablr to guess at the length ' of time that the bones had been buried. Mnskncee. Okla..

With an approximate 33 per cent ot the registered vote in the 18 Salem precincts cast up to the noon hour It waa evident that tha total balloting In today's elec tion would run easily to the 7S percent mark that has been pre dicted, and probably more. Compared with former elections a 33 per cent vote at noon is a high average for that time of day. At the last primary the vote at that time ot the day was only 18 per cent and It is seldom that more than 20 per cent of the vot ers cast their ballots before 1 o'clock In the afternoon. - At 1:80 this afternoon the line of voters at the polls was steadily Increasing at all ot the polling places and an exceptionally heavy vote of women was indicated for the afternoon. Ignoring as usual the admoni tion to vote early, the electors are still holding off and there la every Indication that a record ,late vote will be cast during the late afternoon and this evening. Of the more than 8,000 registered voters in the city It was evident at noon that fully 65 00 ot them would cast ballots before the polls close at 8 o'clock. Many Sworn In In view of the intense Interest that has been stirred up by the campaign of the past few weeks, the surprising development of to day's polling was the number ot voters who had not registered and had to be sworn in. In one pre cinct 18 votes had been sworn in up to noon. Both forces in the gubernatorial contest were active throughout the day rounding up the stray and tardy voters aud swearing them in. Due to the use of double elec tion boards in all of the precincts in the city and in most of the larg er towns ot the county the gather ing ot early reports tonight is ex pected to be rapid. By 9 o'clock a large part ot the early vote will have brt,an counted and gathered for compiling by the newspapers. Two Freeholders Needed Provisions ot the law requiring six freeholders to swear In the vote of an elector In counties having over 100,000 registered voters has resulted In some con fusion locally. This provisloa only applies to Multnomah coun ty. In all other counties of tha state the affidavits of two free holders only are required to swear in a voter who is not regiatercd. Up to 1 o'clock the vole la six Salem precincts was: Precinct No. 11204 votes out ot 600. . No. 16 193 votes out of 604. No. 10 129 votes out of 449. No. 9 185 votes out of 543.
