The log cabin Democrat., 1920-11-01
ALL IS READY FOR DISSATISFACTION
BIG VOTE IS EXPECTED
Poll in Faulkner County Likely to be Several Times that of 1918 Gen
 eral Election.

The eve of the biennial general election for state and county officers and the federal election for president, vice president, United States senator and congressman finds everything in readiness in Faulkner county. Poll books, ballots and election supplies have been delivered to each of the 27 voting precincts in the county, and all arrangements for the battle of the bal lots have been completed
 A much larger vote than was poll ed two years ago, when only 1,024 were cast in the entire county, is expected tomorrow For the first time in a number of years the Re- publicans have practically full state and county ticket nominated, and this fact Is expected to bring out large | numbers of both Democrats and Re publicans who otherwise would not vote. The nomination of a negro as an independent candidate for gover- nor will doubtless attract numbers of that race to the polls. Women will vote for the first time in the history l of the state in general election, but the attorney general has ruled that only those women who have paid a poll tax for 1920 or who arrived at the age of 21 years since the time for assessing taxes in 1919 may vote. While no separate records of women paying poll taxes was kept in this county, the number is known to be small and probably does not exceed 200. Practically every poll tax issued to woman, however, will be repre- sented by vote at tomorrow's cleo tion. Another feature expected to cause a larger vote in this county is the election on stock law proposi- tions in all of the 23 townships
 For the information of the voters in general, and especially the new women voters, fac simile of the ballot to be used in this county appears in today's Log Cabin Democrat. Special atten- tion is called to the head of the bal lot where the president and vice presi- dent are voted upon. As is generally known, this is done by the election of presidential electors, of whom Arkan- sas IS entitled to nine. The first nine with the abbreviation Dem" after their names, when elected will cast the electoral. vote of this state for Cox for president and Roosevelt for vice-presi- dent. The Republican electors would vote for Harding and Coolidge. The single Socialist candidate for elector would cast his electoral vote for Debs. Care should be taken to erase or scratch off all except just nine of the electors. If 10 or more names of electors are left the vote cannot be counted for any of them.
 On the ballot also appears synopsis of the three amendments to the Arkansas constitution. These should be carefully studied, if the voter has not already made up his or her mind on these questions. Everyone should vote for or against the amendments. A failure to vote on them is equivalent to vote against them, as an affirmative of ma Jorlty of those appearing at the polls IS required to carry an amendment. Do not forget to vote on road tax. It appears at the top of the third column of the ballot
 The specimen ballot printed today is the one for Cadron township. It is no different from those for other townships, except as to township of ficers.
