Voted Every Time.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The Stars report of the meeting of the
Business Mems Sound Money Club, held at
Masonic Temple Saturday evening, is in
correct in stating that l have never cast a
ballot for President What l said was in
effect that / have never failed to cast my
ballot for President since l was twenty
one years old, and that as long as / am
able to walk, ride or be carried to the
polls / intend to cast it and would try to
cast it right. The difference between the
report and the truth is all in my favor.
and as l think something of just that par
ticular truth take the liberty of stating it.
