is being worked on those connected with
that Office who are avowed Democrats.
One thousand five hundred employees have
been granted leave of absence to go home
to vote on Tuesday. and the Democratic
employees say that by far the largest pro-
portion Of those who have gone are Re-
publicans, while many Democrats who ask
ed for leave have been refused. They as
sert that when a Democratic employe VINO
has a vote in a doubtful State applied for
leave, he was generally refused. while Re-
pub!icans who have votes in those States
were given leave.
Democrats who vote in Mississippi.
Georgia. Alabama. or other States that are
certain to go Democratic. will be given
leave but II one wishes to cast vote in
Indiana, New York, or any other doubtful
State, he is refused on some trivial pretext.
Republicans who live in doubtful States,
however. are generally allowed leave Of
absence. large number of Republicans
who vote in Indiana and Kentucky have
gone already, or are going home. while
comparatively few Democrats who live in
those States have been accorded vaca-
ton.
By this plan Printing Office Democratic
votes ale made practically worthless, be-
cause Democrats are not permitted to go
to doubtful States where their votes would
count most, while Republicans from In
diana. Kentucky. New York. and other
doubtful States are going to their homes
in large numbers.

LIVES WITH A BROKEN NECK.
John Mcaunid Thrown Heavily
While Playing Football.

AS the result of severe fall while
playing football yesterday afternoon, John
| McQuaid. colored messenger in the War
Department, who lives at 1923 F Street
northwest, was taken to Emergency Hos
pital with broken neck and, strange IS
it may seem, he still lives. One Of the
vertebrae of the spinal column was
broken, but in some marvellous manner
the boy escaped death. He was taken to
Emergency Hospital Immediately after the
accident, and there a delicate operation
was performed by DR.. Carr. the resident
surgeon, which, in all probability, will
save McQuaid's life.
McQuaids father is employed as a
coachman by Secretary Root; the son has
work as a messenger in the War De-
partment. Yesterday afternoon, in COM
pany with a number of other boys. he
was playing football at the corner Of
Twenty-third Street and Massachusetts,
Avenue. In the course of the playing Nc
Quaid was tackled and thrown heavily to
the ground, the force of the fall coming
upon the back Of the head. He failed to
rise, and when examined by his compan-
ions 1t was seen that he was unconscious.
His head hung low on his shoulder and
his companions feared that his neck was
broken The ambulance was summoned
and the lad was taken to Emergency Hos
pital After the operation was completed
the patient was put to bed and his head
was placed in n sling, so that he would
be unable to strain the injured vertebrate.
Late last night he was doing very well.
The case is a very unusual one, for 1t is
seldom that n person suffers fracture
of the spinal vertebrae and lives.
