WILSON CASTS STRAIGHT VOTE

Deposits His Ballot at Engine House in Princeton. TAFT VOTES IN CINCINNATI President Plays Golf Before Attending to His Duties as a Citizen— Colonel Roosevelt Votes at Oyster Bay. Princeton, N. J., Nov. 6. —Governor Woodrow Wilson voted the straight Democratic ticket at 10:51 a. m. in the interior of an engine house. He was in the voting booth four minutes and remarked as he came out that the ballot was so big he "had a hard time finding the Democratic presidential electors ” On a day in which he was conspicuously before the nation the governor was asked how he felt. “I feel like a boy out of school,” he replied with a sigh of relief, for he admitted that the campaign had been a hard physical strain. His scalp wound, received in an automobile mishap, dis not bother him, he said. “I haven’t had much time to be with my wife and daughters,” he added, “or to get much rest.”

Most of the day the governor spent, in answering letters. At night a small party was at the Wilson home to hear the returns by a private telegraph wire.
