Washington, n. C.--Sept. 1. l924.-- An interesting phase of the presiden- tial campaign in New England will he the efforts of the National Get-Out- the-Vote Club which has been organiz- ed in Washington and is now spread ing it's activities throughout all parts of the country. The six New England states and the so-calied fighting states. New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Illinois, have been marked by Simon Michelet, organizer of the club, as the spots for the greatest effort.
 Easing statistics on population fig. ures for 1920, Mir. Michelet has fg- ured that seventy-three persons out of every hundred eligible to vote in the 1920 election stayed at home or were ont of the state. While this figure compares favorably with the rest of New England, the general average be- ing eighty-two, Vermont and Maine having respectively f20 and 113 stay at-homes for every 100 voting. the club Is out to reduce this as much as possible in this election.
 Organize New England
 The plan for organizing New Eng land is already under way to execu- ton. Each state is to be organized separately with representatives on the national advisory committee. These advisory committee members are to guide the activities 0f the work of their local state organizations. As the organization claims non-partisanship, the advisory committee and state or- Qanizations are to be made up of members of both parties. In some states. where the third ticket move ment is the strongest, La Toilette Wheeler leaders are included. Mrs. Charles Sumner Bird and Senator David |. Walsh have already accepted invitations to represent the Repuhli- can and Democratic parties respect lively Cor Massachusetts. and ii Is ua- degstood that further invitations will be extended to prominent leaders q. other of the New England states with in a short time.
 Leaders in the club movement de- clare that the stay-at-home army is large enough to change the entire com plexion of any election. Office hold CTS and office seekers, as well as pro fessional politicians, they point out. always vote. II is often the case that their votes are sufficient to control any election, municipal. state or national election. and the get-out-the-y0te club says it wants a true expression Of the people of the country who have no in-

 This Year a Test
 s'In many ways, the campaign of 1924 will be test of American insti- tuti0ns and a test of American cen science and common sense in the bal lot booth a test such as the nation has not faced in it's history But one of the most vital tests of this campaign is that which tells of what stuff Young America is made. Are American schools and colleges build ing up loyal Americans? Does the average American think for himself, and think logically and s0Derly with earnest concern for his country's fu- ture.

the aforesaid in the forenoon and
swearing them to each stand pat or

the afternoon, and put things across
in less time than it takes to tell it.
The few FOuts committeeman pres

same respect that a pole cat would

works were touched off when DR..

neither faction, tried to speak for
harmony, and attempted to call at
tention to the unfair methods that
had been employed. Uncle Lew de-
manded of the doctor TO tell what
faction he represented, and then the
sparks that few! If printed, they
would bar this organ of truth and
enlightenment from the mails. 1t
has been intimated that the Satur

that as it may, we will wager that

his sleeve, and will not lie down
quietly, and be pummeled around.
