At gathering of Beacon street people |
last evening someone suggested straw |
vote on the presidential election and |
even though the guests were pretty well |
in making their farewells to a |
couple of neighbors who are to leave for |
the sunny south tonight, the suggestion
found ready favor and balloting was
soon under way. Most of the voters
live on Beacon street and as none of the
speakers of national promi-
nence in any party have made speeches
in that vicinage this year, the straw
voters say they were not biased by
spread eagle oratory in registering their
preferences. The vote: Woodrow vii
son, "a Charles Evans Hughes, 4 Eu
gene V. Debs, l. present but not voting, Il
|; scattering, l. An attempt to make
the reelection of Mr.. Wilson unanimous /,
was frustrated by a coalition of the
