ORourke, weary and yawning, watch

half-opaque glass overhead for several
moments before it conveyed to him a

out upon a transom against the after
bulkhead, whence he could see some
thing less of the upper gangway, but
sufficient for his purposes. For his
chair had been beneath the skylight,
and the wings of that were open for

Why the Vote Was LIGHT.

There have been many attempted
explanations of the surprising fall
ing off in the 1912 vote, but so far as
the writer has observed one very OBJ
yious explanation has been over
looked. That is the disappearance Of
the "loater" The campaign man
ayers this year had comparatively
small funds. Not only SO, but most
of the states have passed more or
less drastic laws against vote buying,
and public sentiment has been
aroused in condemnation of the prac-
tice, The net result was that there
was very little vote buying in the
late election. Therefore many of the
"foaters" stayed at home.
Almost anybody familiar with the
inside working of politics knows to
what an extent this abuse had
spread For those not on the inside
it is enough to say that the disclos-
ures of few years ago in Adams
county, O., could have been duplicat-
ed in many other states if the officers
of the law had been diligent in try
ing to unearth the truth. In the old
days land not so very old at that
both party machines in given pre-
cinct or election district mad lists OF
fioaters and even checked off and
placed on the blacklist those that
would not stay bought Sometimes
20 per cent Of the voters in a district
were foaters. In many localities the
percentage was even higher.
The fioaters got SO in the habit OF
being bought that they demanded It
as right, Some of them tried to
excuse themselves on the ground that
II was not their suffrage but their
time that was being paid for. Such
sophistry deceived nobody, not even
themselves. The system was alto
gether damnahle, a source of corrup-
ton all through our politics and
menace to the republic.
If it should be established that the
falling off in the vote this year was
due to the 1oaters staying at home
it would be infinitely hopeful, YER
itably good radiance of bad rub
bish."
