To ascertain the intention of the voters in
the approaching election, the Herald began
a canvass yesterday, the result of which
will be printed from day to day as the re-
turns are received and tabulated.
This test vote was taken by trustworthy
men, many of whom aided the Herald in
obtaining the remarkably accurate forecast
of the election which was published on the
Sunday before election day in the last city
election.
Realizing that the result of the election
will depend largely upon the action of the
average voter, the first test was made
among citizens who are identified neither
with organized labor nor with capitalistic
interests. The canvassers devoted their at
tention to the owners and employees in re-
tail meat shops between 23d and 3Sth
streets in the east and west sides of the
borough Of Manhattan, to the owners and
employees of retail shoe shops along Broad
way between 23d and 42d streets and to
passengers on subway trains.
To these voters the canvassers offered
card and an envelope. The card was as
follows:

A Porch
and a
Side Yard.

Therein are comprehended the
greatest needs of the average city
home, and therein are two requisites
that are seldom to be had. The
porch and the side yard stand for
light and air, and the gospel OF fresh
air and sunshine was never more
widely preached than in this day and
generation. The house with gen
erous porch and ample light is al
waysin demand. Add to these fea
lures location and neighborhood.
together with moderate price, and
one has the desired article in a
home in Washington.
Perhaps you have been looking
for just such property, perhaps
you are looking for it now. If so,
we have it. We say it confidently if
it's house of about nine rooms and
at about $1,000, for nine rooms is
the size and $1,000 the price Now
about those rooms-they are of
good size, not stingy little divisions
of house space, but roomy cham
bers, with windows a-plenty and
places for beds and dressers and
tables and things. And then the
bath room-it's large, too, and beau
tiful in its appointments. The finish
throughout the three stories is hard
wood and the heat is hot water.
The location is Washington
Heights, which is saying enough.
The houses face south and the lots
are deep.
We and the houses can tell you
more. Call or write and let us do
it. We have only two of these
there were nine, the other seven are
sold.
