Precinct No. 11 was next with 69 votes by 10:30 oclock. No. 3 bad 60 by 10 oclock. The latter was the record main-v tamed by the other polling places. Despite the fact that this is the presi dential election year, the interest among the local voters, oh the whole, is luke warm. With the closing of the polls at 7 oclock tonight, it is estimated that the number or votes polled during the ay wQl scarcely exceed 3000, being 2000 under the number east during the July primaries. Contrasted with the election during J that tame is the absence of voters at Alvin Frudenstein, secretary and manager of the Union Grocery company, 423 Mesa avenue, corner of Franklin, was seriously burned about the eyea, face and hands, following a terrific ex posion which occurred In the basement of that store at 3 oclock Tuesday morn ing, when. It was estimated, a loss of approximately ? 10,600 was sustained. The stock of groceries carried in the store prior to the explosion was esti mated by Bernard Schuster, who held the insurance, to be worth approximate v SSOftO The loss in this instance was complete. F. S. Ainsa, the owner of the I building, from wnom tne grocery com pany rented, estimated the damage to the building between $3008 and $4000. A portion of that, he stated, was cov ered by insurance. Bxpleslen Wrecked Sidewalk. The force of the explosion blew up IS feet of the sidewalk on the Mesa avenue side of the building, in front of the store.

There is also an ab- ' tlon of the building had been lifted irom sence of ropes which lined the streets at inr ""s1.???""- that election, marking the "dead line' to which the voter might approach with out being accosted by an officer. Both the ropes and the officers were missing Tuesday. Where the voter in the July primaries was compelled to wait several hours in the hot sun before he could enter the poll and vote, Tuesday morning he could go in at any time. Judges and associate judges in the different polling places state that the of ficial ballot is easier to handle than was the one used in the primaries. The mark ing the ballots, it was said, could be ac complished in half the time. Local interest in politics has simmered down to the race between J. A. Eecaieda, Democratic nominee for the office or dis trict clerk, and P. A. Stewart, who is making the race for that office, inde pendent of any organisation, and whose name does not appear on the official ballot at all. A voter easting his ballot for Jar.

Friends of TJ. S. Goen, who is a can didate on the Progressive ticket for as sociate justice of the supreme court, were working in his behalf) Tuesday morning. While it was conceded that his election is impossible, the plea made by his friends for votes was based on the fact that Mr. Goen is a local man. Ed. Lasater, candidate for governor on the Progressive tkkefc, is expected to get the solid vote of the local Koose-velt-Johnson dub. Wilson will lead in the presidential race here, and politicians say Roosevelt will run second and Taft third. "WOMEN VOTING IN STATE OF CALIFORNIA San Francisco, Calif., Nov. 5. -'Women turned out by the hundred thousands today to decide whether California should register itself as a Wilson and Marshall or Roosevelt and Johnson state. Showers in the central and heavy rains in the northern counties were expected to cut down the vote, which, nevertheless, began with every indication that it would be the heaviest ever cast in the state. In the southern counties, where Pro gressive strength was greatest, clear weather ruled. Los Angeles was con ceded to the Progressives. In the early hours in San Francisco only two requests were made by voters for lists of Taft electors, who do not appear on the ballot. VOTER 15 YEARS OLD; - & VOTKS FOR WILSON & PottsvUle, Pa, Nov.

The Heaviest vote i nthe history of Las Animas coun ty is being polled today, Trinidad has cast 1600 votes, with indications it will be doubled. The weather is ideal.

HIRAM JOHXSOX SACRIFICES HIS VOTE IN CALtFORNLV Sacramento. Calif., Nor. 5. Gov. Hiram W. Johnson, Progressive candi date for vice president, did not vote to day. Absent from his state, on a cam paign tour of the east, he deliberately sacrificed his vote to keep up the fight to the last. The heavy nlate glass windows on the Franklin street side of the building and Mesa avenue side were crumbled and blown over both streets. Simultaneously with the explosion, it was stated that Mr. Frudenstein was seen coming out of th front entrance of the building. He was later taken to the Ralston hospital, on Wyoming street, where, it was stated Tuesday morning, he was unable to talk to any one. Lights Cigaret; Explosion Follows. While the fire marshal and firemen, who were on the scene sBbrtly after the alarm was turned in, stated that they were unable to account for the ex plosion. Frudenstein, it ,said, stated to the attending physician that when he went into the store he entered the front door with a lighted cigaret. Im mediately following this, he said, the gas which filled the room became ig nited and, communicating with the gas, which was heaviest in the basement. caused the explosion. After the ex plosion, it was said that Frudenstein walked to 70S Mesa avenue, where he received medical attention and was J later taxes to tne a imai. A peculiar incident connected with the explosion was that several cases of matches, which were stored in the base. ment, -were left intact. One five-gallon can of gasoline and one of coal oil, which were in the front part of the store on the first floor, it fs stated, were not affected. The Central. Mesa and Sunset fire companies responded to the alarm. Apartment House Damaged. The scene surrounding the burned store early Tuesday resembled pictures of the Los Angeles Times building after the famous dynamite explosion. The windows were shattered and blown into the street, covering the paving with fine particles of glass, which made au tomobile travel down Mesa avenue dam aging to tires. A window was broken in the second story of the building across the street occupied by the city waterworks office, and a large glass was broken from a south window in the Alvarado hotel. Canned goods were thrown against the side of the building and a burning brand fell in the entrance way on the south side of the family hotel, but was extinguished before it had done any damage. Windows on the second story of the building were broken and the partition wall separating the grocery from the room to the south in the same building was thrown out of line several inches. The sidewalk and street at the corner of Franklin street and Mesa avenue was covered with debris from the store, in cluding broken packages, canned goods, store fixtures and broken glass. Saw Man Go Aground Corner. People living in the rooming houses along Mesa avenue say that they were awakened by the explosion and saw a man running around the corner from Mesa avenue onto Franklin street and disappear in tht. darkness toward Car negie square. It was at first thought that he was going to a fire alarm box to give the alarm, but the box is located on the northeast corner of the street intersection and the alarm was given later by someone from the Crystola apartments. The Denman apartments, on the sec ond floor of the Ainsa building, were damaged by fire and smoke. They are owned by W. JEL Phillips, who had no insurance. The damage by fire and smoke is estimated to be 3500. Three rooms were badly burned and the furnl. ture in them destroyed. Equal Suffrage Likely to Be Adopted Democrats Are Voting Against It. WILSON LEADS AT ALL THE POLLS (By Geo. H. Clements) Phoenix. Ariz., Nov. 5. Contrary to all predictions, a very full vote is be ing cast in Phoenix and in other cities throughout the state and. if there is no falling down in the outer districts, more than 80 percent of the registered voters will have cast their ballots by the time the polls close. In this. city there has been a steady stream of voters at each of the polling places since 6 oclock this morning and always long lincfi? in waiting, notwith standing that the supervisors of elec tion, to guard against any uninten tional disfranchisement, have doubled and in some cases trebled the number of booths, in some cases IS voters be ing enabled to mark ballots at the same time. There has been very little challeng ing and consequently lUtle delay on that account The equal suffragists have been particularly active and- the whole town is gay with "votes for women" ban ners and -streamers while committees of women are active decorating all voters with "votes for women" pins and buttons. Though the. Democrats' are said to be good naturedly taking the decoration and voting against the suffrage amendment. It is believed it will carry throughout the state. Experienced "watchers" who know the politics of the voters in each pre cinct are authority for the statement that up to noon, at least, Wilson was leading both Taft and Roosevelt at the ratio of 6 to 4. This is admitted by Republican and Progressive watchers but they say the tide will turn when the business mn begin to vote this afternoon. Strong Vote at Douglas. -' ' ., , i ... WILSON VOTES FOR HIS OWN ELECTORS Princeton. N. J., Nov. 5. -Governor Woodrow Wilson voted the straight Democratic ticket at 10:15 oclock in an engine house. He was in the voting booth four minutes and remarked as he came out that the ballot was so big he 'had a bard time finding the presidential electors. On the way to the voting booth, gov ernor Wilson stopped abrutly in front of a little frame house. "When I was a freshman," he said, "I used to eat in the house. One night I swallowed a fish bone and Jumped off that piaasa six times in an effort to Jolt it out of my throat, but it didn't Jolt" I A half dozen photographers had perched their cameras in the Interior of the little engine house. "ril enforce the law if you like and have these men put out; I'm governor, you know," the nominee said laughing ly, to the tellers, but they were enjoy ing the scene too much to be literal. The governor had to wait a few min utes before one of the three polling booths was vacant. He thought the ballots were inside. "You'll have to have one of these first," called one of the tellers, all of whom were old time friends of the gov ernor; and the nominee wa"s handed his ballot. "Wmwirnu- Wilson. No. 9 Cleveland : Lane, ballot'112," announced one of the. tellers, as he recorded the governor's vote. ' The governor was in tne booth Just four minutes. As he came out he spoke of his difficulty .in finding the Demo cratic presidential electors. "They are buried down at the bot tom of the sheet somewhere," he said plaintively. "Like a Boy Out of School." Gov. Woodrow Wilson was asked to day how he felt. "Like a boy out of school," he replied, with a sigh of relief, for he admitted that the campaign bad been a hard physical strain. His scalp wound, re ceived in the motor mishap of two days ago, did not t other him, he said. Most of the day the governor planned to spend in answering letters. Tonight a small party gathered at the Wilson home to hear the returns by a private 'telegraph wire. The governor's imme diate family, his brotherinlaw, Prof. Stockton Axson; two cousins from Co lumbia. S. C., Capt G. H. McMaster, U. S. A., and James Woodrow, and Joseph R.. Wilson, a younger brother of the nominee, will hear the returns at the Wilson 'home. Gov. Wilson had planned to go to bed early, but the students of Princeton university have other ideas on the sub.
