Des Molnes, la., Nov. 2.- The polis opened at 7 o'clock. The weather was cool and crisp, a perfect autumn day. The temperature was so low that frost oovered everything. The country polls opened at 8 o'clock. At 8:30 o'clock the vote was remarkably light, but 50 per cent, polling in comparison with last year. Some city precincts showed as light as 75 per cent., but enthusiasm was almost dead. Many voters failed to register and did not come to the polls at all. State, county and city offices were closed and at an early hour the corridors bf public buildings were almost deserted. The day was a legal holiday, but the business houses were all open and remained so except for two hours legally allowed employés to vote. Political lieadquarters closed at 8:30 o'clock.
