ELECTION WEATHER A dispatch fnom Grand Forks today said rain which fell last night and early this morning stopped about 9 o'clock, leaving roads muddy but passable. Early indications were a heavy vote was being cast in the city of Grand Forks, Fargo reported precipitation of -04 inches, not enough, it is be- lievel, to affect the vote. Fair weather was reported in the northwestern part of the state. Roads in the southwest part were muddy but passable. The cloudy weather dissipated in most parts of the state, the weather bureau reported. Clear weather was reported in near- ly every part of the state for today’s election. Ideal weather was. offered in most cities to the voters and the work of the organizations engaged in getting out the vote for the election was made an easier task by the bright sunshine. Predictions as to the extent of the vote today varied. The total vote in the last election was 229,606, the ma- jority of Governor Frazier being 4,- 630. T. G. Nelson, secretary of the I. V. A., estimated that 200,000 votes I. V. A. Hope to Carry Laws 000 votes would be cast. Both lea- guers and Independents were appre- hensive over the effect of this. Polls opened at 9 A. M. and closed at 9 P. M. There was expected to be much early voting in the cities. The organizaticns in Bismarck geeking to get uot he vote did not begin tunction- ing at full speed as quickly as the} polls opened, however. Possibility of an undecisive result wag seen if the vote is close. If Fra- zier should be elected by only a small majority, Independents feel that many or‘all of their initiated measures would carry, as they hoped for the votes of many leaguers for them.
