There was no noise, shouting or dis

After watching the voters for hours,

wealthy people who We're of town

their men to the polls like their poorer

an American election. I saw one little

They passed the long line of voters and
marched up to the clerks. A soldier sta

consideration of his age, permitted him
to vote at once.
THAT night we went to the national

Then Bjornson, the manager of the the

filled the theater. The long, silent self
