ABSENT VOTING TO BE
TRIED.
Method Used First Time This
Year Requires Certificate
From Home.

Travelling statesmen and 9th
ers expecting to be absent from
home on election day are pre-
pairing in many cases to cast
their votes for president and for
state officers under the absent
voters law"
The law does not cover alb
sence from the state, but a vot-
er anywhere in Minnesota on
election day can cast his ballot
if he has prepared for the con-
tingency.
Sections 468 to All of the re-
yised statutes, provide a meth
cd for an absent voter to cast
his vote for president, for a
state officer 'voted for by the
voters throughout the state as
a whole" or on any constitution
al amendment.
First, he must go on a regis
tration day, which will be Oct.
%, before the judges Of his
home precinct and get a certifi-
cate from them, saying that he
is a resident and legal voter of
that precinct. On election day
he is to present the certificate
at the precinct where he de-
sires to vote. Two qualified
resident voters" are to identify
him as the man named in the
certificate. He then is to be
given a state ballot. After he
has marked it and handed it to
the judges, they are to place it
in an envelope and send it by
registered mail to the auditors
of the voters home county. 1t
is to be opened and counted by
the county cCnvassing board.

HUGHES SPEECH
CAUSE Of COMMENT

Chicago. June 6.--Justice Hughes
spoke" last night. Exactly what
did he say was the question which
during the early hours OF today over
shadowed all other topics In the con-
vention city. The Hughes gradu-
ating day speech was adjudged BY his
own volunteer workers here a. the
nearest to q clear-cut definition OF
where the former governor stands as
1t was possible for q justice Of the
supreme court to make. II was held
by the progressives to be entirely too
OF application TO present
issues to give a satisfactory line on
the Justices views. The favorite
sons viewed the speech as merely a
very patriotic talk which very prop
erly ought not to be construed as q
creed Of faith.
The Hughes opposition admitted
the speech gave Frank H. Hitch
cock. the Justices self-appointed
agent here. his first tangible line on
where his candidate stood.
Coincident with the rending OF
Hughes veil OF silence came a plan
today by the old guard for a public
and formal scraping OF the steam
roller. The organization wants to
emphasize It's argument since the frst
delegates arrived--that the conven'
ton Is to be free and untrammeled
The organization Is absolutely sure
OF its control. II has the. votes tC
put over any candidate II chooses
The most radical progressive scarcely
disputed this today. The two things
ON which the interest OF the old
guard centers are the selection OF
candidate who can win. and the com
plete restoration OF those parts ol
the party machine which were tori
loose four years ago.
The latter consideration Is the ont
OF first Importance. Every effort u
