TO CELEBRATE BY WORKING
President of Ctys Board of Elections Says That Break
ing the Daily Schedule Is Responsible for
Many Fit of Illness

John r. Voorhis. president of the
city Board of Elections. Grand Sachem
of Tammany Hall, and an office holder
who believes that the man should seek
the office at Q in the morning and
stay in it all day. will celebrate his
ninety-second birthday to-day sticking
on the job as usual.
To the various persons. most of them
with political axes of their own to
grind. who for the last twenty years
have been objecting to Mr.. Voorhis' s
appointment to this office or that on
the ground of his age. he Is the most
inexplicable thing alive. When he was
seventy the cry was first raised that he
was too old for public service-that he
looked vigorous enough. but that a man
that old was sure to show 1t soon-and
now at 90 he is still doing a full days
work and says himself that he is thriv-
ing on it.
He announced yesterday that he did
not expect to observe his birthday in
any way, and didn't see why a birth
day should differ from any other day.
"It's breaking the schedule" he ex-
planned, "that has brought on many a
fit of illness. AS a human machine /
