BIG VOTE IS CAST The Grand Total Will Be Close to Eight Hundred Votes. ESTIMATED THAT 175 ILLEGAL VOTES HAVE BEEN CAST. (3 Third Ward Proves A Surprise And Will Cast Nearly Two Hundred and Fifty Votes. Election day opened very quiet- ly in Bemidji but voting was brisk from the start in every ward. At noon about 100 votes had been polled in the third ward and the same number in the fourth, 80 in the second and 60 in the first. During the noon hour the vote was heavy Men from the mill came over in loads and about fifty were voted duriog the noon hour at the fourth ward and nearly as many in each of the other wards. Interest throughout the morn- ing centered in the fourth ward where it was believed that the first and most vigorous attempt would be made to cast illegal votes. During the morning quite a number of these were worked in, it being estimated that fully twenty illegal votes had been cast up to the noon hour. The men appeared to be well posted as tu what to say to the answers of the judges. One man had the answers all written down ona card which he held partially be- hind his back and glanced at from time to time. He voted. Challenges from the Gibbons challenger were numerous and a considerable number were com- pelled to sign the oath. Perhaps half a dozen were turned away during the morning, Up to the noon hour no attempt was made to work in any illegal votes in any other ward than vhe fourth. Six special policemen were sworn in at eight o’clock this morning. The streets have been fairly quiet,however, throughout the day. One fight occurred in front of the City Hotel but no one was badly hurt. At noon the polling place in the fourth ward was filled with hangers on some of whom per- sisted in advising the judges and in talking to those who present- ed themselves to vote. Finally Mr. Miles madea speech and advocated the clearing of the room, and Mr. McKusick called attention to the law which per- mits the -judges to allow but three persons in the room out- side of the officials and those in the voting booths. The peace officer was instructed to clear the room and the voting has been more orderly during the after- noon. Up to 4 o’clock this afternaon there had been cast in all 701 votes, as follows. First ward—130. Second ward—150. Third ward— Fourth ward SALES ARE NOT HEAVY Lumber Manufacturers Are Selling in Limited Quantities. Lumber is still far from being a drug in the market, at any of the northern Minnesota or Wis- consin lumber centers, Some slight selling is reported to have been done in the past few days to Eastern parties, but nobody in the lumber trade expects to hear of any more large sales this sea- son, unless it be that cof 1906 stock that has not yet reached the saws, It is claimed that the advance made by some of the interior manufacturers was not made here, for the reason that it has already been added by the inde- pendent manufacturers of lum- ber in this part of the counzry Common grade of No. 3 boards is selling at $20, or a trifie more, and the general asking price is said to be about $21 per thousand feet. HEARST IS A SURPRISE He Amazes New Yorkers By The Strong Following He Secures. 0DDS FAVOR M'CLELLAN BY 2to I Less Money is Wagered on the Result Than in Former Years, However. New York, Nov. 7.—Fine weather and greatinterest in the result of the election brought out immense vote early in the day. There were many arrests for illegal yoting. Philadelphia, Nov. 7.—Disor- ders broke out in seyeral pre- cincts today. Inone precinct 1t was necessary to close;the polls and send ina riot call for the police. Cincinnatti, Nov. 7.—Reports from every part of the state show unusual interest in the election. There is much scratch- ing reported which adds to the uncertainty of the result: New York, Nev. 7.— An almost unprecedented degree of un- certainty regarding the result of the final conflict at the polls to- day marks the close of what has been in many respects the most interesting political campaign ever waged in the city of New York. Whether McClellan, Hearst or Irvins will be chosen to rule the destinies of the metropolis for the next four years presents a problem which in the face of cunditions absolute- ly unique, baffles the skill of even the most experienced fore- casters of election results. This is due to the complications aris- ing from the appearance in the field of a new and formidable element represented by the Municipal Ownership league, which under the leadership of William Randolf Hearst has carried on a campaign marked by extraordinary vigor and has developed a degree of strength that has been the subject of general amazement. The Hearst campaign culminated last night in a monster meeting at Madison Square Garden, which was marked by an unparalleled dis- play of enthusiasm, supporters of the candidate to the number of 20,000 being unable to gain admission to the hall. Simul- taneousiy another greaf weeting of almost equal dimensions held n the Hippodrome tes'itied to. ithe strength of Mayor McClellan 0dds For McClellan, Last night the managers of the three mayoralty candidates de- clared themselves to be absolute- ly assured of victory, Of betting on the result there has been considerably less than in former years, due apparently to the general feeling of uncertainty and to the indications that the resuls may be very close. In Wall street this afternoon the odds ended 2to 1 on McClellan. The Swedish Ladies * Aid wil meet with Mrs. W. N. Hubbard, 618 Third street, tomorrow af- ternoon at 2 o’clock. All wel- come. MAY SHIP SKINS FROM THE STATE For Tannifig Purposes Where Animals Have Been Legally Killed. St. Paul—Deer and moose skins, purchased in good faith from persons who have taken them from animals legally killed, may be lawfully shipped out -of the state for tanning purposes.
