according to Max Lobernheimer. The
scientist declares most an

and does not wish to disturb the har.
relations.
There Is absolutely no occasion for
the American people to become excited
about h reports that the German

who is at all familiar with
the politics of Germany knows full

say. in bad.
When stripped Of it's politics the

Would Have Elections on Mondays.
General elections. especially in
presidential years. when Their. is wide.
spread interest among all classes OF
people, should be held on the nrst
Monday in November instead OF the
first Tuesday after the first Monday.
according to Harry L. White. a travel.
ing salesman from Mishawaqua, Ind.
Because Of the law which places cleo.
tion day on Tuesday Mr.. White be-
ileves mat many travelling statesmen
lose their vote each presidential year.
"Inere is no class OF people so we'll
qualified to explain the conditions Of a
presidential campaign as the travelling
man," said Mr.. White yesterday. land
there is no good reason why those
men should not have the chance to be
at home and vote without losing half a
weeks work. as is o the case.
Il believe that the general elections
should be held on the first Monday
In November instead of the first Tues
day after the first Monday, because
1t would give thousands Of travelling
men an opportunity to East their votes.
At present II the travelling man goes
nome to vote. he must remain idle all
day Monday, vote on Tuesday, and
then by. the time he reaches the place
where the nearest customer in his tin.
srary is located It is Wednesday. and
nan the week Is gone. Not only that,
but on Wednesday very few mer-
chants. especially in a presidential
year. are ready to talk business; they
are discussing the result Of the cleo
ton. Now. why not have the election
on Monday? The travelling mar who
goes home for owe Sunday could vote
the FIRST thing Monday morning, get
an early train out OF his town. and
the week. He would only lose a part
Of one day instead Of half q week. az
IL now the case.
This is especially true with refer.
ence to primary elections. Many trav.
cling men have a territory which Is go
arranged h a they get home once in
every n or two weeks. They arc
ready to start out Monday morning
II they could vote and then go their
way. they would take the time to vote,
but where they have to loaf for a day,
then vote on the second week day,
and start gu they are apt to pass
up the chance to vote and 20 their
way. Thousands Of votes which are
v cast on primary day would be
cast II the travelling men could have a
chance to tote the first thing Monday
morning"
