Getting Out the Vote.

The effort of Senator Owen, of
Oklahoma, and his colleagues to en-
act good corrupt practice bill to
purify the elections in the United
States is commendable.
No honest voter will dispute it
and few dishonest voters will have
the courage to rise up and oppose it.
Mr.. Owen says $4,000, 900 was ex-
pended in the 1916 campaign, and he
believes this entirely too much. Per-
haps it was, but if any part of it was
used corruptly there are many laws
to apply to each instance.
The bill now pending in the Senate
limits the expenditures to ST, 500, 600,
or one and one-half cents per capita,
based on population OF Ioo, 200, 900.
This may be enough, but an OBJ
server of many political battles, clean
and unclean, will have to say that if
his recollection is correct this amount
would not get corporaps guard to
the polls on election day.
If the campaign committees are not
allowed to spend money to persuade
the honest voter to go. to the polls
the government will have to do so,
or it is possible that our elections
will be decided by such minority
of the voters that they will become
ridteuaous.

Just before leaving the morgue. how

here's good one heard on him.
Seems that he was to speak at a GER

He arrived in due time, was met at the
train by committee and escorted to his
hotel When the hour rolled around for
the Vice Presidential candidate to speak
he couldn't be found high or low. The
hotels were searched, the barber shops
the clubs, and everywhere else that a

After the audience had been kept wait.

be made that Mr.. Fairbanks could not be
found, although thorough search had
been made for him.

By this time Mr.. Emerson's COLLEAGUES
on the Republican side were quite petrt-
fed. They appreciated his keen sense OF
humor, but they did not appreciate It's
being keener than his sense of party
loyalty. Mr.. Emerson thought those sto-
ries too good to keep, however, and he
Just couldn't.
