"The Eve of Election"
Facts for the Voter

John B. HOWE Of the Syracuse
- Herald is well known as a newspaper
man, and his thirty-fye years of editorial
experience amply ft him to write book
for voters new and old" He has done
it in The Eve Of Elections, which takes its
title from Winters poem, 0 fayorite
with Mr.. Howe. The book Is one Of
fair number brought out by publishers
this season and inspired principally by
the addition to the New York electorate Of
at least ! ,5O0, 900 women. Now, it is per.
haps just as well that women who are to
vote for the first time should not receive
al their tuition from their men folk, and
those who want accurate information i'm
parted with simplicity and clearness could
hardly do better than lay hold of Mr..
Howe's book.
In eleven chapters the author discourses
on broad lines upon the Federal Constitu-
ton, Federal powers, voting methods, old
and new; State and city government, the
Electoral College and direct primaries,
with many other incidental matters. 1t s
easy reading, much Ike listening to per-
fectly informed and intelligent man talk
ing, and there is plenty Of illustration
from the history of elections, especially
the most recent. The Presidential election
of 1916, for example, affords much mate
rial to exhibit the working of the mar
chinery Of the Electoral College.
As Mr.. Howe suggests, many-perhaps
most-men could read this book with
profit to themselves, or at least to the
country in the shape of sounder balloting
by them. A particularly valuable feature
of the book is an appendix giving infor-
nation for first voters summarized from
the election law of New York State. A
chapter on the long fight for woman suf-
frage will interest women readers partieu-
larly.

these things threatened by Germany before the war started? It is easy to see how they may be threatened now, for if we are defeated we are lost, but before the war started did Germany menace these things we hold most sa- cYedY
 Let the Germans themselves answer. After you have read the evidence out of their own mouths, you may decide whether or not Germany planned to up set our institutions, our ideals, our very mode of life.
 In 1901 the National German-Ameri- can alliance was formed in the United States. In 1907 it was incorporated by act of congress. Its charter is now being attacked in that same body. One of the objects of the alliance, as officially announced, was ito check na- tivistic encroachments." Tn other words, to keep the Germans from be- coming Americans. Another object was ito awaken and strengthen the sense of unity among the people of German origin in America"
 '"This alliance" its preliminary statement of aims concludes, lis pledged to bring its entire organiza- tion to the support of any state fed eration which is engaged in the strug- gle for any of these objects"
 It was pledged in other words, to have its members vote, not as individ- uals, but as German controlled units, for or against anthing of which they did not approve.
 The desire for resisting "nativistic encroachments," was particularly ab- horrent to American ideals, because the effort in this country has always been to keep politics free from racial or religious influences. Yet here was a body, proclaiming itself German in origin and thought, seeking to perpetu- ate this German feeling in the. midst of America.
 From its very start the alliance sought to foment discord with England It always spoke of the American press as "the Anglo-American" press, and it carried out long and well-directed campaign for the introduction of the German language into the schools and its use in civil life.
 "The National Alliance" according to an issue of it's official Bulletin be- fore this nation entered the war, lis waging war against Anglo-Saxonism against the fanatical enemies of per sonal liberty and political freedom, it is combating narrow-minded, benight- ed knoW-nothingism, the influence of

But Germany, even then, was preparing for war, and was doing every possible thing to weaken it's coming enemies.
