A WARRINGTON correspondent re-
Gently asked Secretary Sherman what
answer he would give to Ohio men who
ask leave of absence to go home from
their Washington work to vote in Ohio.
He said he should 60 home himself as
is his privilege and duty, and would
allow all others whose work could be
left without public detriment to do the
same; but their furlough would be for
four or five days instead of the usual
ten days. The Cabinet has decided
this question for all the departments.
