Unfavoraoie weather conditions
prevailing here today were hold
ing down the vote being cast in
the municipal election, it was in
cated by a small number of voters
who had shown up in each of the
three precincts. Out of a registra
tion of 902, only 342 had cast their
ballots at 2:30 p.m.
In Precinct No. 1, where 512 vot
ers are registered, 203 had voted at
that hour, or less than 50 per cent.
In the Second Precinct, with a reg

was 82. or about one-third of the
registration. The Third Precinct
vote polled at midafternoon was
57 out of a total of 166 registered.
Rain, with occasional snow squalls'
prevailed throughout the day, driv

breath of winter in it. This, in
a large measure, is said to have ac

the voters had turned out for the

Literary Digest Poll in
Third Week Shows
Repeal Vote Gaining
With practically one and one
quarter million votes canvassed in |
the Literary Digest Prohibition Poll!
at the end of the third week,
"modification comes down a peg, ]
enforcement comes down half a
peg, and repeal goes up a peg and
a half,” is the analysis of the can
vass made by the Digest. It cov
ers the same 20 States and Dis
trict of Columbia reported in the
second week’s canvass.
The totals were: for enforcement.
333,978; for modification, 383,117, for
repeal, 527.388. "While both drys
and wets are storming us with bal
j lots and clamoring for more, the
j returns seem to be a shade or two j
j more humid than those of last:
! week.” the magazine commented on!
| the third week's showing.

Kansas still ‘ stands like the Rock !
of Gibralter for Prohibition en- j
forcement ‘as ip',” it notes. It
; continues to pile up a substantial
majority for the present system

combined. The Digest points out \
that “the imposing mass of its dry
vote in ratio to the total population
of the State will go far toward
squashing any sporadic local ru
mors that ‘the drys are not vot
ing’. For Kansas, the supreme
citadel of Prohibition, is voting
magnificently and from no State
do we receive more heartfelt pe
; titions for extra ballots in bulk
‘ petitions which we are obliged to
deny .... to preserve the integ
rity of our system for the imper
sonal distribution of ballots.”
Kansas is the only State in
which enforcement has a majority.
The moist-wet combination have a
clear majority in every other State
| and the District of Columbia re
mained in the wet column. Eight
States besides Kansas give a ma
j jorlty for enforcement over either
I modification or repeal. Eleven
States give majorities for repeal.

FRAU GOSIMA
WAGNER DIES
AT BAYREUTH
Daughter, Wife of Two of
World s Greatest Musi
cians, Passes Away
(Continued from Page One)
She played an even greater role
than King Ludwig II in promoting
the genius of Wagner. To her sym
pathetic assistance as much as to
the Bavarian King’s financial pat
ronage, it was felt that the world
owed the Ring operas, “The Meis
tersinger' ’and “Parsifal.”
After her husband's death in
1883, Frau Wagner devoted all her
ability and energy to the consecre
tion of his memory by the great
Bayreuth festivals. She achieved
tinancial as well as artistic success
in the festivals and continued to
direct them personally until the
later years of her life when she
turned the task over to her only
son, Siegfried Wagner.
Frau Wagner was born in 183?
at Bellagio, on Lake Como, the
daughter of Franz Liszt and the
Countess Marie d'AgouIt who had
left her husband in Paris for the
celebrated pianist. As her mother
was a gifted writer, widely known
under the name of Daniel Stern,
Cosima spent her childhood in an
environment of musical and liter
ary people. Thus, at the age of
13, she first saw Richard Wagner.
Her parents having separated,
Cosima was sent to Germany to
grow up under the care of Frau
von Buelow. At 19 she was mar
ried to her guardian’s son, Hanr
von Buelow, director of the Weimar
orchestra. A few years later she
again met Richard Wagner, the
man who was to dominate her life.
Although not legally separated from
von Buelow until 1870, the second
rcmance of her life began in 1863.
when she left him for Wagner.
Thereafter for 20 years, before
as well as after her marriage to
.. 1
Wagner at Luzerne in 1870, she
presided over musical salons that
have ffw equals in history. Al- ;
v/ays a brilliant conversationalist
and possessing a striking person- ;
ality, Frau Wagner, in spite of her
thin, almost angular figure and
somewhat masculine features, had
a rare charm and fascination for
all with whom she came in con
tact.
She was the mother of three 4
daughters by von Buelow, while
the son Siegfried, and a daughter
Eva were born of her marriage to
.Vagner. Eva Wagner became *he
wife of the English writer, Houston
Stuart Chamberlain.
Enfeebled by her advanced age,
Fiau Wagner during her latter
years was confined much of the
time to her bed. She had lost
her sight almost completely and
received few people outside her «>
children and occasionally one of
her numerous grand children. One
oF the rare exceptions to the rule
was General Ludendorff, to whom
Frau Wagner and her son at one
time Were accused of having given
large sums for the monarchistia
cause.
