Dos Noincs, Sept. 26.--Altho Cover
nor Harding will appoint commits
sion soon to study the question Of
giving opportunity to all Iowa soldiers
to cast their ballots in the election of
Nov ), IL is thought probable the
overseas vote can not be taken.
Authorities at Washington, while
recognizing that the men overseas
should have the first right and first
opportunity to vote, nevertheless are
reported as saving it would be almost
physical impossibility to take the
vote of the men in the service over
seas fairly and efficiently.
1t would also require considerable
delegation from this country to take
the vote of the men from all of the
states as force would have to go
from each state. The men are widely
scattered thru France. Italy, Siberia
and elsewhere.
Many statese however, are reported
TO be discussing the same question and
to have forwarded inquiries to WASH
ington regarding it. The final decis-
ion by the Washington officials will
not be forthcoming. it is reported until
Secretary Baker returns from his trip
overseas.
Taking the vote OF the men in camp
in this country. however will not be
such a serious matter. This is wholly
up to the states and is something the
government will not have to pass on.
However the Iowa men are widely
scattered, necessitating reaching
numerous camps thruout this country.
1t is possible these men can vote by
using the absent voters opportunities.
There is question as to just how
much interest the soldiers will take in
the fall election. There are no special
issuS in Iowa and no contests except
in the congressional districts in which
fights are being staged. Reports from
France thru Washington are that the
men over there are so busy and so
absorbed in the great task before them
