RECALL BALLOTING
FOR PRESIDENT

The most accurate and far reach
ing straw vote of any Presidential
election ever attempted in this coun-
try is now under way. Millions Of
ballots will be cast in this test vote,
and at least two weeks before the
November election those who follow
this straw vote will be able to tell
without fear of contradiction who is
to be the next occupant of the
White House, and by how many
votes he will win
In order to accomplish this titanic
task eight thousand Rexall Drug
Stores in the United States have
been designated by the United Drug
Company, of Boston, as the balloting
points. In each store a clerk has
been detailed to conduct the ballot
and thus insure sure and fair test
to vote. There will be no stuffing of
the ballot boxes, nor will there be
any repeating.
The big unknown quantity in the
forthcoming election is the women's
vote. In order to accurately compute
this vote, two ballot boxes have been
installed in each Rexan Drug Store,
one for the male vote, the other for
the women. Each night the vote will
be counted. that of the men and
women totaled separately.
Each ballot clerk, in each town or
city, after compiling his local vote,
will telegraph his returns to Gen.
ira, point in that State. This State
captain, in turn, will compile the
total vote for the State and telegraph |
these returns to the Straw Vote Di-
rector at the Boston office of the
United Drug Company.
In addition to this the State Cap
ain, after compiling the vote for his
State, will send these returns back
% each Rexall Drug Store in his
State, where they will be prominent
y displayed on each store window.
The Boston office, after receiving
he reports from all forty-eight
states, will compile the total nation
i vote, for men and women sepa-
ately and a bulletin will be issued
ach night, together with the total
cures by States, which will be sent
ack to all the eight thousand drug
torres and to many newspapers and
ews agencies through the country.
In order to handle this straw vote
II interchange of upwards of thirty
lousand messages, telegraphic and
slephonic, will be necessary each
ay. Beginning October 1, announce
tent will be made daily of the vote,
nd with eight thousand drug stores
, draw upon it is safe to say that
any million votes will be cast and
implied
An actual test of the Rexall Straw
ote was made in the last Presiden-
al campaign. While ballot:ng was
only nine days in all the
ores, yet several million votes were
st and five days before election the
,ures were announced.
This test vote showed that Presi-
mt Wilson had been reelected by
small majority 1t showed that he
ould carry California and also New
an announcement which
ought indignant denials from those
posed to him. When the total votes
st in the Rexall Straw Vote were
impaired with those cast in the No
mber election, they differed from
e actual figures less than one half
one per cent. With thirty days of
lloting in the present test vote,
t only can the readers be Kept in
mentary touch with the temper

y definite idea as to how the wom-
of the nation will vote
