THE CITY WARDS Tho Fusionists Were Disappointed at the Strength of the Mickey Supporters BURGESS HAD HARD FIGHT Mickey Men lined Up for the State Chairman Mr. Bryan Voted at Normal Hundred of Unregistered Voter Got Csrtlflcates Voters Came Early In Many Wsrds The Gossip. An Ideal day and a heavy vote were the two features of the election In Lincoln today. Incidentally there was considerable scratching and the average time taken by the voters to deposit their ballots was about five minutes.

Fusionists were disappointed at the failure of republicans to scratch Governor Mickey. The democrat were scratching fully as much as the republicans. Politicians claimed that Mr. Mlckoy was gaining as many votes as he was losing. A sentiment ngalnst IL C.

M. Burgess and some of his associates gavn tie fusionists some hope of defeating him for the legislature. The republicans made desperate effort to pull Burgess through and tile friends of Mickey wore burdened with the necessity of making a fight to save the state chuirman. Tha unregistered voters caused trouble. Three hundred and fifty of them got certificates this morning at ths office of the city clerk.

Mr. Bryan Voted, W. J. Bryan voted at noon today at Normal Mr. Bryan declared that he though the precinct would contain a hundred votes, but aaade no prediction of the rcsuH, Mr.

Bryan thought Berga would be elected governor. Chairman T. S. Allen, of the democratio state central committee, admitted today that Mickey was polling a heavy vote In Omaha. A noticeable feature of the election was Its extreme quietness for a presidential year.

There was a stoady stream of voters coming and going at tho polls, and each was voting without doing much talking. hut few politicians were about the voting pfaces and In many only the party challengers and ward men were to be seen. The straight party voters were easily detected by the way they marched Into the booths, hastily made ona mark on the ballot and departed, Nearly all of the populist and democratio voter scratched, and many declared that they had voted for Roosevelt elector. There apparently Is some cutting among the republicans on governor and a number of the voters as they come from the, polls openly announce that they have scratched Chairman Burgess of tha state committee Voting at Court Houss. Eagle eyed voters yearning to catch the drift of the vote lingered around the corridors of the court house, In the office and always within eusy dlatanoa to the telephone.

In the county clerk's office visitors were frequent snd in full possession of staying qualities, Harry Wells worked feverishly over the records, preparing the table for the official canvass. At every shout or whisper of a visitor he shuddered. Many time his features became suffused with tho purple of compressed Impatience. "You can Just tell anybody who wants to know, that this Is the busiest offlco In town," he remarked at one stage of the morning's performance. Occasional messages came In from the Killing places.

About the first cry to bs lenrd wn a distressed plea for another ballot bog. "Poke them around with a was the ready advice, "Why, those boxes will hold ft'W esses of dry goods. These ballots are nothing. Use a little stick," sobbed Harry Wells In the telephone. And thon he returned to his hull drawn lines snd partly written names.

Finally these demands for mors ballot boxes became so Insistent thnt arrangements were made with ths city clerk for the use of the city boxes some extras always on hand, These, It was planned, should be sent to the busiest precincts In the city If they were needed sftcr th Industrious stirring with a stick. At 10 o'clock the weary ones picked up cheer end heenme slert when County Clerk Hawsnn In from tho Fourth ward thnt lis kiw of one hundred bullots that had been cast. "It's sn elegant showing," he murmured Into the telephone, "Its of vot. ers and voting fast. Those who bow their head over the ballot when they sidle up to their booth soon come out.

You know what that means, Harry. The faster they come th stralghter they are, No scratching hsr. It takes too long." Again the bell chirruped. From another end of town seventy-five had watched their ballots wedged Into the box. And so It went till the noon whistles announced ham and cabbage.

About twenty-five voter who were present at 8 o'clock to cast their ballots before undertaking th serious business of ths day turned sway In disgust, some vowing that they would not bother to go near again. 1 The Judges and clerk of election found ens of their number missing.

At one polling place a gang of fifty or seventy five men apparently acting upon a prearranged plan, surrounded the polling plaoe and began to make unpleasant for the policemen on guard there.

Finally they rushed ths booth and began to jostle the officer who stood at the door. Other policemen came to tho assistance "of the assaulted officer and the mob finally was dispersed In the melee one of the policemen and one of the assailants were injured. Similar In which the pollen had to drive -oft other gangs occurred In other polling places in the district. Record Vote Predicted. In the districts In the lower part of the city the early mortitng balloting was very heavy.

Nearly one-third of the normal vote had. been cast during the first two hours and the leaders predicted a record vote before the polls close at Bo'elock. Further up-town the early hours passed quietly, but the voters began to turn out In good volume during the forenoon. Magiatratea were sitting In all sections of the city to give an immediate hearing to men arrested on charges of illegal votlngj and the prisoners were arraigned as soon as they reached the, Btaticm' nous. Many of lham were successful fn proving their right to cast their ballot and were promptly released.

At the West Forty-seventh street station fourteen arrests in election cases were made before 8 o'clock, but the deputies were not able to present sufficient evidence to hold any of them and tha prisoners were discharged. Negroes Slow In Voting. The board of elections was informed during the forenoon that in one of the election districts of the Nineteenth ss-sembly district where more than 700 negroes are registered, the ballots, were being handled so slowly that unless mora speed was shown many would not have a chance to cast their ballots. Word was at once sent to the eight inspectors in the district, all of whom are colored men, that unless matters were expedited they would be removed. Reports of clashes between would-be voters, the police and election offlcerS came from many election districts, but up to noon no trouble of particularly serious nature had occurred, As the day progressed arrests for alleged Illegal voting became more frequent than dur Ing the early hours and at some of the station bouses warrants came tn faster than they could be served.

Heavy Vote In Brooklyn. A very heavy vote was reported In Kings county (Brooklyn) and it was estimated that 65 per cent of the total vote had been cast at 10:30 a. m. Up to that hour about 100 arrests had been made' for alleged illegal registration. Four of those arrested were federal employes In the treasury department at Washington.

They were taken to court but were later discharged after making satisfactory explanations and were permitted to vote.

That the directors of 'the republican state campaign intend to "leave no stone unturned" In their efforts In behalf of the entire ticket is evidenced by the fight that is being kept up and which will continue until the close of, the polls tonight.

Sf Alleged Illegal Voting Began Early and the Officers Were Equally Active BIG ARMY OF DEPUTIES Morgan Springs Surprise by Naming 3,000 Disturbances In a Number of Cases Where Arrests Were Made Almost Perfect Weather Prevails Throughout the Greater City. (To the Associated Press.) New York, Nov.

The first surprise of the day was sprung by State Superintendent of Elections Morgan when he distributed deputies representing his office through the election districts of the greater city. It had been expected that the 800 deputies that the superintendent of elections Is authorized to appoint would be reinforoed today by about 200 men, including a large number of secret service agents, whose whole attention would be directed toward the holders of alleged illegal naturalization papers. It developed today, however, that Mr. Morgan had found that under a section of the metropolitan election district law the state superintendent or any of his deputies is empowered to call on any person to assist him In' the performance of his duty. This law raised practically all restrictions regarding appointment of deputies and 2,000 additional men were sworn.

The men selected for this work ana volunteers and they went on duty at the opening of the polls to remain until the "votes are counted. Many Were Challenged. The presence of the deputies was early in evidence and hundreds of men were challenged daring the first tew hours Each of the deputies was supplied with a list of registered voters who were to be challenged.

Hundreds of other names also had been placed on the Hat as a result of Investigations conducted by Mr.

Morgan's office since the registration closed. Police Kept Busy.
