PRESIDENTIAL
Vote BIGGEST
Nearly Million More Votes in U.
S. Than Ever Before

WASHINGTON, ID. G., Oct Slap
proximately l5,Sl5,000 men and 100000
women in the United s.ates will cast
ballots in the presidential erection
Tuesday. The total will be the big d.
sest popular vote in the nations his
tory.
This estimate was made especially
for the United Press by the census bu-
reau on Tuesday, and represents as
close an approximation as it is possi =
bic to make i'm advance of the cleo
tion itself. The number of votes cast
i'm the presidential election of 1905 was
1i,SSS.442.
There are 2s,999.l5l males cf all
races and colors I'm the United States
at present who are over the voting
age of 2l but there are 3,72S,5S7 of
these who are foreign born, and can
not vote because of noncitizenship.
This, leaves 23,260560 native born
males of voting age who IL some re-
striction does not stand in their way
can await themselves of the- right of
franchise. Census figures show, how
ever, that only 65 per cent Of potential
voters. as they are called, actually cast
their ballots.
Factors Of Disqualification.
The main factors of voluntary dis
qualification. according to the census
bureau. are failure to vote and failure
to register. rhe main factors of invol-
untarV disqualification are:
Sickness, inability to establish or
possess a legal residence. conviction of
crime and inability to pass state Hit
eracy tests.
lliteracy is the chief factor i'm re-
Gucing the negro vote. There are ap-
proymately 100000 negro males of
voting age. OF these census officials
estimate that fully 100000 will be un-
able to cast ballots because Of Hitter
acy test laws in several northern
states and i'm most Of the southern
states.
Many Women to Vote.
There are six states in which women
will be able TO vote this year They
arc; California. Colorado. Idaho. Utah.
Washington and Wyoming. In these
states i'm 1909 there were 1,i2s,325 fe-
males of voting age of whom 654.7S4
were native born. over $4,000 of
them may actually cast ballots on
election day.

Hilles of the Republican national COM

called meeting of the national com
mittee for November IL in Chicago to
select a successor TO the late James S.

for vice president. Mr. Hilles made
the following statement:

republican party for vice president at

Tuesday. Such q nomination can prop
erly be made only after due ard rea-

the committee. such notice cannot be
given in less than six days. " is
therefore manifcstly impossible to
hold such a meeting prior to the cleo
tion. Meanwhile, no difficulty or in.
convenience arises to the voters at the
election next Tuesday because the
votes 10 be cast then are for electors
and not for candidates for either prcsi-
