MARSHALL CONSIDERED ELECTED (Continued From Page One.)

their tickets. If they went Into the booths and voted straight, as they Beemed to be doing, the question was whether they had changed their mind and were voting the straight republican ticket, Watson and all, or whether they were afraid to scratch and were voting the straight democratic ticket rather than to lose their vote against Watson. And this was the case in all kinds of precincts. The aristocratic north side precincts in this city seemed to be voting straight, as well as the workIngmen's wards of the south side and the foreign quarters of the west and southwest parts of the city. White men, negroes, foreigners and all seemed to be following the same plan. Republicans claimed this indicated that the republicans who were dis gruntled heretofore had made up their tninds to eccept Watson and vote the ticket straight rather than take chan ces on spoiling their ballot for Taft On the other hand the democrats were claiming that these republican voters were still opposed to Watson and were voting the straight democratic ticket rather than run the risk of spoiling their ballot. And each side had something on which to base its claim. This was admitted by all sides. The saloons were closed tight here and as far as has been learned they were closed all over the state. No trouble has been reported from any place in the state, but the police of this city were looking for it during the evening in some of the wards in which foreigners vote. Thousands of foreigners were naturalized during the last week or two and it was said they would be brought to the polls to vote late in the day. When the republicans found that rapid voting was being done and that straight tickets appeared to be the rule they brought out considerable money and began betting on. Watson. Several bets were made at even money today. The weather all over the state was reported fine and this helped to bring out a full vote. " Clever Scheme Worked. A clever scheme was worked here today by some one, presumed to be the democrats. Letters were sent to a large number of colored republicans telling them to select ten of their best workers la their precincts and go with them to room 33, old Board of Trade building to meet Capt. W. E. English, who wished them to do some special work on election day. The letters told them that they would be supplied with the "necessary means" for carrying on the work. As a result fully fiOO negroes gathered at the old Board of Trade, only to find that they had been fooled, itfayor Bookwalter and several other well-known republicans had to explain to them that the letters were forgeries and that it was a democratic scheme to get the negroes to come' down to be disappointed. When they went to room 33 they found pictures of Taft and Governor Hanly on the wall and the floor strewn with paper bands, such as are used around packages of paper money in banks, each band marked "$50." This looked promising of course, but there was- no money in sight. It was acknowledged to be a clever scheme well worked. It is not believed that many negroes voted the democratic ticket, though some did. Most of them lined up as they always have done for the republican ticket. Among the republicans confidence was maintained in the general result as far as the national ticket was concerned. They insisted that Taft will carry the state and that he will be elected. They were also confident of the election of Watson and the rest of , the state ticket But the democrats Insisted that the straigh icket voing indicated a landslide for Bryan and were claiming that Marshall will be elected by a large plurality. It was admitted on all sides, however, that the complexion of the legislature could not be forecasted. WAYNE COUNTY.

REFUSES TO LET PRISONERS VOTE AND AS RFSULT LIBERAL ELEMENT

The surprise of the lection in this city came when Sheriff Meredith refused to permit prisoners at the county jail to be voted unless orders for their release were obtained. It has been customary for many years in this county for the sheriff to permit the prisoners to vote. These sheriffs have been republicans almost always. Meredith's action was so surprising as to bring retalliation. He was classed by the liberal element wet republicans and democratic saloon advocates aa a

Watson man, and his name was scratched. Workers at the polls had prepared sheets of instructions that were given to voters to be taken into the polls with them.
