HUNDREDS0F VOTES
CAST HERE DAILY
Republican Headquarters
Aiding All to Cast Ballots
in Own States.

Washington may be a voteless city.
but, regardless of this fact, hundreds
Of votes, which will be counted in the
national election on November 4, are
being cast here every day. There will
be thousands of these so-called alb
sentee State votes sent from Wash
tngton between now and the day Of
election. and the local Republican
headquarters at 1924 New York ave-
nue.. where this State voting is TAX
ing place, is the scene of great ac-
tivity.
The aspect is not only an active
one, genuinely interesting and
unique one These headquarters
occupy two floors. On the ground
floor the rear half of the large room
is given over to voting booths. These
reproduce as nearly as possible. the
average voting booth used through
out the country. There are now eight
of these botths. but twice that many
will be available to the absentee vol
ers within another week.
Arranged in Row.
These booths are arranged in IA
row and are divided by thick cur
tains thus affording privacy to the
person in the booth while preparing
his or her ballot. There is table
and ink and everything else neces-
sary to the execution of the ballot
handy On the opposite side OF the
table in each booth is seated Il no
tary public ready with his seal and
pen to swear to the affidavit which
must accompany the absentee vote
in order that 1t may be acceptable
to the proper State election officials
to whom it is sent. The notary is
no rTY1i
ton about voting nor to attempt to
influence the voter. He merely
executes the affidavit.
II the voter needs instruction or
information concerning certain de.
tails, or even IL advice as to how to
vote is desired. he or she must cal
upon the services of the score or
more of men and women behind the
voters information counter in tn"
front part of this large room. This
counter is more than Is feet in length,
and now that the campaign has
reached the home stretch, and the
registration days OF most Of the
States are at hand. there is a goodiy
sized crowd of information seekers at
this counter at all hours Of the day.
Between 4:30, when the departments
have closed, and 6 o'clock the counter
is jammed.
Voting Laws Available.
The absentee registration and vot-
ing laws of all the States are avail
able at this counter, and it is here
where the man or woman uncertain
about his or her eligibility to vote in
some one of the States permitting alb
sentee voting. is advised about this.
There is no guess work on the part
of those on hand to give information.
They have copy of every State vot-
ing and registration law. digests of
these, additional information and ex-
planation from the proper State au-
thorities, and are, therefore, in a po-
sition to furnish accurate and de-
pendable information.
There is a big sign in the front
part OF this room which calls at
tention to the fact that information
is for all concerned-Democra as

been removed from III hall floor in
order to admit as many as possible.
Every seat in the galleries was oc-

tiers the people stood three and four
rows deep.
Finds No Apathy.
Mr.. Davis emphasized that he never
had found in his campaign travels
anything akin to apathy toward po-
litical affairs.

in the crowd. The candidate re-

1T would be eminently fitting" he
said, for America to appoint her
election days on Sunday. It would be
fitting observance of the Sabbath.
1t would lift the election duty into

cannot get to the polls. would be free
