Ra ' porta from practically all secUona In dicated that heavy vote had been cast, and some point reported that the bulk of tha vote was in before 10 a. m. , All the New England atatea tn their early reports of the voting dwelt on the heavy early balloting.

New Tork state and other middle Atlantic states reported aa unusually large early vote, and similar reports came from the west and south. predate this distinction: It was a painfully flat cam paign. Everybody says so. The Republican attack created about as much excitement as the spec tacle of a man cutting a hickory log with a dull saw.

The south, the trans . 3u!ssourl west and the Pacific coast, have combined to achieve. re sult wholly unprecedented In tha his tory of presidential campaigns. That one iat may decide the elec tion seemed possible, although demo cratic headquarter predicted tbat Wilson would have a total of 100 rote in the electoral college. Although California still showed a lead for the president and hi cam paign manager were claiming It, the president' plurality wa only 1000.

Hughes took tb lead with small margin and then th president shot ahead again, but Mr. Hughe again took th lead with a plurality of about 400.

MINNESOTA FAVORS HUGHES Early Wilson Lead Gradually Reduced And Hugh May Win. SL PauL Hughes took th lead la Minnesota and bit by bit the Wilson lead, which at on, time reached 10 000, faded away nntU It had been wiped out entirely and a Hughe lead o 400 aubatltuted. A th stesdy chopping awy of th Wilson lead continued, and republican leader who early Wednesday had de spaired of overcoming the big lead, began declaring tbat their candidate would win and their prediction aeen 4 liksly to be fulfilled. they must. In view of that fun damental fact, whether or not we might safely have pulled a few more tail feathers out of the German eagle seemed unimpor tant We were submitting to some indignities from the Allies, but a rather wide sympathy with their cause, our patent pow erlessnesa to coerce them on the sea,, and the torrent of money they were pouring into our lap left us the. alternative of patient negotiations .or committing a sort of moral and materia hari kari. With regard to Europe, in bhort the situation was as sat isfactory as could reasonably be hoped for. - The country understood that and accepted it. Impassioned oratory about futile protest against the invasion of Belgium, an impossible prevention of the Lusitania crime, and generally imposing our own conditions up on fighting Europe without at all fighting ourselves simply bored the public The campaign nas snown tnai mis country, a course in respect of warring Eu rope has been, in a broad way, the course which the common sense of the country approves, in view of all the circumstances of the case. Whoever wins at the polls for the votes are not cast at this writing will prob ably keep that lesson in mind. " If the Republican campaign had addressed itself to domestic affairs suclv for example, as the pork barrel and brought forward a number of construc tive ideas, it would undoubtedly have found more enthusiastic response. aides, tb Isbor votes appear to have gone to Hughes. This explains why Chicago baa given Hughes majority, when all calculation were based on Wilson carrying tb city by at least (0.000. Still another surprise wa the big vote given Hughe by the women of th stat. Democratic manager had claimed they were sure of big ma jority of tb women's vote on the h kept as out of war" argument. Repub lican manager admitted thl would have lta effect, especlslly upon women whose husband and eon were of mili tary age or who would be aubject to call la esse of a war a few' year bene. ' ., ... . The returns show that tb women of Illlnola look at condition from practically the same viewpoint a the men.
