4 CORRECTION

In the News-Times story sun
day the expression was used i'm
explaining how to vote
straight ticket" in one place,
viz: pull down the lever under
the party name at the extreme
left OF the machine" That was
inadyertence and wrong. The
party lever on the machine is
above the party name. not below
it. and 10 follow such instruc-
tions would be for republicans
wanting TO vote a straight ticket,
20 vote a democratic ticket. and
for democrats TO vote the social
ist ticket, and so on. The correct
way is given elsewhere in the
same story "YOu pull down the
lever over the heading Of the
party ticket-and contrary TO
some Instructions said to have
been given out as TO democratic
voting, YOU pull it down as TO all
parties, and leave it down. You
do not push it up for anyone.

Emphasize editOrially if you will
that it is not too late for anyone to
help. Things are coming our way ana
we must not ease up in the slightest;
we must make the supreme effort now.
Use your news columns and head
lines just as literally as you can IN

have not contributed will do so II

upon them to help and upon your aid
in getting them to do so.
We appreciate what you and your

are mindful of the limitations on the
space Of all newspapers just now.
But only few days remain and J.
know, Mr.. Lawrence, that if necessary
you will make extra sacrifice in the
manner indicated for the cause during
the brief wind-up period.
With kind regards,
Sincerely yours,
