deluge of rain marked the opening of the polls in Norwalk this
morning. The early fall thunder stormwas fortunately short. lived,
but it was succeeded by occasional brief showers of rain that, short.
ly after noon, developed into a steady downpour. Despite the on"

lively voting in all of the districts.
Automobiles scurried to all nooks and corners of the city, and bust.

factory and store, and hurried them through the rain to the poles.

freely this morning. and one could obtain information to please his
