tice White, of the Supreme Court

traits Of ex-speakers in the lobby,
and wanderd around Capitol corri-
dars to his hearts content. Then he
went to the White House for lunch
con with President and Mrs. Wilson
He arrived at the executive offices
unescorted and laughed heartily as

clared. was to look .p some volumes

again at the desk where for fou
years he had "held down the lid H

SOME OFFICERS OF
ELECTION TRY TO "QUEER"
RIVERFRONT VOTE

Complaint was made in many
election districts earlJ this afternoon
that the election officers were failing
TO pass out 70 voters the ballots con-
tanning the Waterfront Questions sub
mitted, and that they we're forcing the
voters TO ask for such ballots.
In view OF the fact the Department
of Elections had issued instructions
that such ballots be handed TO the VOt-
ers when they entered the booths; the
failure of election officers TO obey
those instructions is construed to
mean that there exists an organized
movement TO make the riverfrOnt vote
as light as possible.
In view of such conditions all voters
are urged TO ask for Waterfront Bal
lots when they enter the polling
places.
