Tho departments have been empty.

days until today all the big govern.
ment buildings the forces ARE reduced
10 the lowest minimum possible. Desks
everywhere are vacant, their occu.
pants having gone home to vote. This
applied az well TO the higher officials.
The example set by the president
and by the heads Of departments In
going away TO vote was followed al.
most uniformly by the clerks OF bu.
reaus and subordinates In all the
branches Of government work. The
government service was not allowed TO
suffer because of this exodus Of vot.

The Capitol building was practically
deserted. None of the official posi-
lions in the building Is subject to civil

as a result of personal political SER
vice. As a consequence. the occupants
have In many cases been quite as
much coupled with political affairs as
have their superiors. or all the gov.
eminent bureaus the large t quota Of
voters left the government printing
