Election weather in West to be wet

Los Angeles, California (UP) – (Nov. 4)
If Pacific Coast voters don’t turn out at the polls next Tuesday it won’t be the weatherman’s fault, Weather Bureau officials said tonight in forecasting generally fair weather except for light rains in Western Oregon and Western Washington on Election Day.

Voters in the rest of the country, except for local areas in the Midwest, were expected to benefit by fair, dry weather.
