A large receptacle will be used.
In this will he placed black gela-
tine capsules containing numbers in
red ink in a series running from
one TO the number representing the
total number Of registrations in
each state. starting with Alabama
and concluding with Wyoming.
When Alabama's total registration
mum bers in capsules have been de-
posted in the receptacle and have
been thoroughly stirred, a blind
folded man will draw one capsule
