The ensus bureau, at Washington
gives ont some interesting figures in
which it Is estimated that approx
imately 16. 600, 0G0 men and 600, 900
women in the United States will cast
ballots in the presidential election next
Tuesday. The number of votes cast in
the presidential election of 1908 was
Ia, SSS, 442. There are 90. 900, 151 males
of all races and colors in the United
States at present who are over the vot
ing age of 81, but there are 3,73S, 5S7
of these who are foreign born and can
not vote because of non citizenship.
This leaves 90, $50, $50 native born
males of voting age who, if some re-
striction does not stand in the way,
can avail themselves of the right OF
franchise. Census figures show, how
ever, that only 65 per cent Of potential

doubt of the election of Frank NJ.

while he was of the opinion that Will

1t has heen my observation that GER
tain republicans will talk about voting
the democratic ticket a few weeks be-
fore the election, hut when they 90
into the voting booth they vote their
own icket-somehow they can't get
away from it. But" said Mr.. Lyons
jokingly, 1--WE are going to have a demo-
cratic president-and that will help
some in addition to the good crops"
