as expeditiously as possible. Inter-
spersed in the returns are brief bulle-
tins of the situation and contests in the

been particularly close and bitter.

correspondents and accountants are

About 35 expert accountants from the

rapidly as they come. Half a dozen

detection in some district or state, an
army OF telegraph operators. corre-
spondents, reporters and editors from
Maine to California is working under
high pressure and with an intensity and
feverish haste that no one who has
never been in a newspaper office under
spective chiefs like vast army, makes
election night one to be dreaded.
With the battlefield extending from
sea to sea and boundary to boundary,
with no village too small or remote to
be neglected, and the returns to be
collected, added and distributed within
a few hours so that often by the time
the polls close on the Pacific coast the
result is already known, some idea Of
the undertaking which confronts the
Associated Press and the telegraph
companies may be gained.
Only the splendid generalship of the
press officials, with the enthusiastic
cooperation of its corps of operators
and correspondents. divided into dis
tricts and divisions under their re-
spective chiefs like a vast army, makes
this possible.
No battle or campaign is planned
with greater care and exactitude as to
details than the preparations made by
the press generals for the handling OF
the returns from a national election.
The Associated Press has system of
trunk lines for It's daily and nightly
service to moro than 1000 papers, con-
Meeting all the principal cities in the
United States. The day system Of leased
wires aggregates $1,000 miles and the

by the editors and routed according to
the section Of the country where It
would be of interest.
Plans and preparations for handling
the returns of national election are
begun many weeks in advance by the
Associated Press and telegraph officials,
especially the former. The district
managers, who each have a large num-

In the New England and eastern states
before it opens on the Pacific coast. All
eyes are on New York, which with its
39 electoral votes is usually the indi-
eating factor in the national election.
As the day progresses the wires tell
the story Of the voting as written by
hundreds of correspondents In all parts
of the country The condition of the
weather in the states of the middle
west and east, whether fair or stormy,
is of paramount Importance and enters
largely into the calculations of the
party managers, as it affects the vote
to considerable extent. So the first
thing on the correspondents schedule
is "25 words on weather" BY noon
all the political centers know from the
press dispatches In what states and
sections bad weather is causing a
lighter vote than had been figured on
There are the usual charges of fraud
and election disputes, perhaps a shoot
ing In one place and a riot in another
All this is a part of the burden of the
wires. Perhaps some correspondent has
an exaggerated idea of the days de-
velopments in his particular state or
section and takes advantage of the
clause except under extraordinary cir
cumstances" In his schedule and ex-
pands unduly. But 1t gets no farther

writers ruthlessly cut it down, re-
write it according to its general news

may have crept In and route 1t accord

country in general or only in certain
states or sections.
AS soon as the polls close, the work
of the correspondents, reporters, ed
itors and news gatherers begins in ear
nest. BY o'clock the wires are cleared
for the returns and soon scattering
reports, like the first skirmish along
the line of battle, begin to come in,
which soon develops into a never ceas-
ing stream of figures and names. In
the cities and towns reporters and COR

double pressure and the straining of
every nerve by correspondents, report
