INTEREST keen IN
STRAW VOTE TO Be
CONDUCTED AT SHOW
Delay In Receiving Ballots Holds Up
Straw Vote ut Washington
Many Inquiries Are Made at
Box Office.

That there is being keen interest dis
played in Maysville in the proposed
straw vote to be conducted this week
at theaters all over the nation show
ing First National pictures, was DEM
onstrated last night at the Washington
Theater when many inquiries were
made at the box office and at the door
for ballots upon which voters-both
women and men-could register their
preference in the coming presidential
campaign.
The failure to receive the blank bal
lots in time has held up the vote con-
siderably here and caused quite lot
of disappointment. Manager Russell,
of the Washington, wired the First Ma
tional booking agency this morning
informing them that the ballots had
not arrived and advising them to rush
them on the first mail so that there
need be no great delay. If they are
not received by tomorrow, the voting
will be continued over into next week
so that the usual number of days can
be counted before the total vote is tab
ulated
More interest is being displayed In
the proposition than was at first eX-
pected and the management is now
very anxious for the patrons to be
furnished with the necessary ballots
just as soon as Is possible. Rooters for
both Harding and Cox have begun to
discuss the final outcome Of this ex.
preston, of preference in Mason coun.
ty and the final outcome of the vote
will be watched with keen interest by
Republicans and Democrats alike. The
tabulation of the vote will be in charge
Of committee of both Democrats ant
Republicans so that the count will bt
fair in every respect and each candi.
date will get the ballots which were
marked for him.
Upon the receipt of the expected hal
lots the management will make an an
nouncement informing the public o.
their receipt and of the opening of thu
vote.
