Weather in Sections of the West. New York, Nov. 1.—(By The A. P. The seven presidential candidates of tonight had submitted their cases to their fury and awaited tomorrow the verdict of the electorate. The bustle of months ended tonight at national headquarters where campaign strategists rested, their summing up com- plete. The candidates retired to seclu- #ion to receive the decision of the Amer- fean people. With the people rested the task of ringing down the curtain on the pational drama of electing a leader for the next four years. With the voters rested also the duty of deciding which party should control the genate and which party should control the house of representatives. With the elec- torate of many states rested the duty of choosing governors and legislatures. Party leaders who week after week had Deen directing the destinies of their focussing their attention on the league of nations, the chief issue of the campaign, pulled down their desk tops, put on their hats and went home. Before they left their headquarters they} had scanned last-minute reports from| state chairmen, but almost as closely they | had studied the reports of the govern- ment weather bureau. Seasoned campaigners reckoned that at this stage, skies played nearly as heavy @ role as the workers whose period of gervice ed. For the skies alone would the turnout of voters, isolated sections of the heavy rains would upset for” transporting voters to There are districts Wwith flooded cannot be crossed mule-back, and in certain states t is close, every ballot plays its even on the cont part. In general, this is what the weather man had to say of western disturbances, hich appeared today over lowa, and of the prospects tomorrow all over the country : “The western disturbance will advanee east northward and be attended by un- settled weather and rains Tuesday, elec- tion day, in the Atlantic states, the upper Ohio valley and the region of the Great Lakes with some probability of snow in northern Michigan, Wisconsin and Minne- weather will be clearing and fuesday in the Gulf lower Ohio and Gentral s. Fair, coot weather will pre Tuesday - over the plains states, the Rocky Mountain states and ail far western states.” With addition of women to those who choose the electoral colleze party leaders, vaf course, expect a vote greatly swollen over that of 1916. Should the skies open, the downpour could hardly discourage enough voters to hold the total below that of four years ago. And the ballot count- ers are not expecting a smaller, bua mucher task—8o large indeed that the count may be known much later than in other presidential years. Senator Harding of Ohio, standard bearer of the republican party, today re- tired to his home in Marion to await the decision of his countrymen. To this party managers he left detailed forecast af the votes and from Chairman Hays of the republican national committee there was forthcoming tonizht reiteration of esnfidence in a republican victory. Mr. flays, however, issued no formal state- 3ient announcing he choose to remain until the ballots had been count- states, . Governor Cox, also Ohio's native son, welected by the democratic party as its ehoice for the White House, tonight de- livered his final campaign address in oledo and remained to his home in Day. ~m. Convietion that he will be elected was expressed In a final slatement today by Chairman White of the demiocratic na- “fonal commission. .

In Boston, capital of the state whose chief executive he is, Calvin Coolidge, re- publican vice presidential nominee, will learn whether or not mext vear he is to move to Washington. Franklin D.

While his party leaders hold no hope of captur- ine electoral votes. they express convic- tion that they will poll a vote two or three times as creat as that of 1916, In a presidential vear unique in the number of parties with candidates in the field, other contenders for the presidency and vice presidency are : Prohibition—Aaron S. Leigh Colvin, Farmer-Labor—Parley P. Christensen Watkins and and Max Hayes. Single Tax—Robert C. Macauley and Tiichard C. Barnum. Socialist Labor—William W.

Surrounded by his family and personal fricnds, he spent election eve at home. It was an evening very different from most of those he has experienced since his nom- ination. In many ways it was very like the evenings of bygone years before he became the leader of . a great political party. i Throughout the day he let down from the strain of the campaign, declining to concern himself with the routine of his headquarters, and spent most of his time chatting of everything but politics with friends nad neighbors who came in to see him. In the afternoon as ne laikeu s jovial vein fof an hour with the news- | paper corrcspondents, and he dined quiet- Iy at home with Mrs. Harding. Tomorrew he expects to vote early in the forencon and then motor to a golf course forty miles away to tramp over the links while the story of the ballots is telling itself throughout the nation. He will be back at home in time to hear the earliest returns. . Virtually the only attention given to politics by the nominee during today w: in telephone conferences with Will L Hays, the republican national chairman, and Harry M.

From Indiana, New Jersey, Illinois and New York, battlegrounds of more than ordinary interest throughout the cam: paign, the candidate said his information was especially gratifying. He added that he also had received gome heartening: re- rorts of senatorial races, a feature of the election in which he has taken particular concern. Local committees have made elaborate preparations to serenade him as the re- turns come in and to celebrate the event with a red fire parade. Tonight Mr. Harding retired usval hour. As has been his custom for | many years, he read himself to- sleep, | choosing for his reading tonight a novel of American adventure. at his C€OX WILL LISTEN TO VERDICT AT HIS NEWSPAPER OFFICE Toledo,-O.,. Nov. .1.—~Governor Cox, in his last speech of the campaign hers to- night, summarized his arguments for the | league of nations, which he said was the ; premier issue to be decided tomorrow at | the polls. He predicted victory for him- | self, not as the representative of a party, but as the leader of a cauge. The governor also renewed his attack on Senator Harding on the league issue, declaring that the republican candidate was “wiggling and wobbling” and that the serators election meant “controversy and confusion.” # The governor and his party arrived here by special train early in the evening from Davton, and left on the return journey immed.ately after his speech. Tomorrow he will rest at Day- ton, going to the polls with Mrs. Cox to vote during the day, and then at night will go to his newspavey office to watch the returns, bringing in the verdict of the election. On his way here from Dayton the gov- ernor dnd his party stonped at Deshler, a railroad town of 2,000 inhabitants, where several hundred had gathered at the sta- tion, awaiting in a drizzling rain the com- ing of the candidate. Governor Cox re- sponded with a rear platform speech, a forerunner of his argument here tonight. Many messages were received today by the candidate, coming from various parts of the country. None was made public, but it was said that they predicted the The weather forecast for the country was said by members of the governor's party to be cheerful news, | rredicting inclement weather in_several sections where it was regarded that this would affect the republican vote more se- riously than that of the democrats. nar- ticularly in the mountain sections of some Dorder states. INTEREST IN STATE CENTERS ON BEANDEGEE AND LONERGAN New Haven, Conn, Nov. 1.—Connecti- cut's men and women voters go to the polls tomorrow with practically all in- terest centered on the top part of the tickets. The contest of United States Senator Frank B. Brandegee, republican “irreconcilable” against Congressman Augustine Lonergan, democrat, shared equally in interest with the presidential race. The state will elect a governor and other state officers, five congressmen and a complete state senate and house but no particular stress has been placed on this side of the campaign. Senator Brandegee's race for re-elec- tion has brought a flood of oratory to nearly all sections of the state. Senator Borah of Idaho has addressed many large meetings on behalf of his colleague, while Former President Taft, Senator Lodge and Charles E. Hughes have urged Senator Brandegee's election in speeches in the state. s On behalf of the democratic national ticket and Representative Lonergan, ad- dresses have been madle in the state by Governor Cox, Franklin D.

At liberal and coalition headquarters the forces gathered in great numbers to celebrate, despite the absence of official information.
