ALI, MNICHOL MEN AID TOWN
MEETING PARTY CANDIDATES

sloners today in the various training camps
There are approximately 10000 Philadel-
phians who have answered the call to the
colors and who are now In camp.
William T. Finley, executive director of
the Republican city committee today de-
clared that the soldiers are entitled TO vote
only for the county offices, the Magistrates
and the Judges. They cannot vote for
Councilmen, he said They do not have to
be registered.
He estimated that between $4,000 and
$4,000 soldier votes will be polled in the
Philadelphia election. In the event of a
close contest they would be the balance Of
power.
Most OF the Philadelphia soldiers who are
voting today are at the National Army
cantonment at Camp Meade. All Of the
National Guard men are at Camp Hancock,
Ga. Other enlisted men voters are at Cape
May. Allentown and at Mineola, Long
Island.

VOTING AT MEADE
AGAINST THE GANG
Town Meeting Candidates
Lead in Ballots Being
Cast by Philadelphians
COUNT TO BE DELAYED

CAMP MEADE, Admiral, Nd, Nov. s.
Good government Is having it's innings to-
day at Little Penn, for hundreds Of boys in
olive drab are registering their protest
against gang rule in Philadelphia.
II Is impossible TO give any estimate con-
cerning the size of the soldier vote at this
camp, but at II o'clock It was apparent
that a helvy vote would be cast.
More than 5000, or about one-third of
the Philadelphians, had voted at that hour
and long lines of men were waiting In each
barracks for a chance to deposit their
ballots.
ut is certain" said James Franklin,
chairman Of the camp election commission
ers, that nearly all of the men are going
to vote. The size, OF the vote will delay
the count, and II is not likely that tabu-
lation can be made until late hour to-
night"
The soldiers who are operating the cleo
ton machinery are imposing a strict inter.
probation upon election laws. Politicians
are barred from the barracks during tho
ballotipg and strict watch Is being kept
upo nthe lines Of votes to prevent the cus'
tomary buttonholing at the booths. There
is little excitement around the barracks
and no betting. That the Town Meeine
candidates are leading is apparent from
the attitude of the soldiers. Men who have
voted the Town Meeting ticket are making
no secret OF their action, ana they are III
the majority. Ware followers are not boast
ing any, and, in fact, making no claims
Nearly $500 negroes, including 1900 from
Philadelphia, are voting in their own bar
racks.
Early this morning the soldiers were
UP and at the work OF casting their ballots
In the 315th Infantry, which is made uT
of Philadelphians, the men in each barracks
elected three election judges and two in
spectors to handle the ballots and then pro
| ceeded to register their protest agains

sieth Infantry. For ballot boxes the sol-
dlers introduced dress-suit cases. apple bar
rels and packing cases Formalities were
swept aside and shortly after o'clock the
men began TO vote. Every man In uniform
with the exception OF a few aliens Is en-
titled TO vote, and at o'clock Il appears
that a big percentage Of the boys will avail
themselves OF the privilege.
Men in the 315th sprung n surprise on
the election officers by having their ballots
printed In Baltimore, but those In other
units are compelled 20 utilize homemade
ballots, which serves to compllcate the work

The pesky stable flies are q great
source Of annoyance to the cows and
the cause Of considerable loss Of milk
and vitality. They are seldom killed
by the lash Of the cows switch and
when disturbed they rise In a mass for
two or three feet and then settle down
on another part Of the cows body. As
they are not attracted by bait It II not
easy to catch or kill them.

In the summer you will prevent their

Another effective way to get rid Of
the stable fly Is to catch them In a net.
