 The 1888 Election
 The 1s:4 and 1920 elections were sweeping victories for the successful candidates but the 1916 vote was not. Early in the evening it seemed az though Charles Evans Hughes had swept the election. and even some of the supporters of Woodrow Wiison were willing to concede his defeat. But The Associated Press would not an- nounce a result because the returns were not complete enough to make a mathematical certainty of the situation.
 A few hours later it became evil dent that the outcome would hinge on the California vote. and that state was close. The Associated Press machine there at once started an intensive re-check of every coun- ty. Cnuriers were sent into the mountains to find out how the scat tered ranchers had voted. Special telegraphic circuits were set up and fresh men and women employed to wield pencils and operate adding machines on the long columns of 1 figures.
 In Washington President Wilson was waiting aboard the Mayflower to start on a brief vacation after the strain of the campaign. All through Wednesday the revised re- turns fluctuatej. Then finally came the ''flash;"

RAILROADS SHOW
 GREATER EARNINGS
Two and One-Hdi Ptr Cent
 Greater Than Year Ago

New York. Oct. 2e R - The first 25 railroads to report Septem- Der earnings had net operating in- come of $56.S69.000. an increase of ? 1-2 per cent over the like month of last year. when the total for the same 25 was $55.457.0O0. 1t was disclosed today.
 The increase resulted primarily from higher operating efficiency as the September cross operating in- come. totalling $224,002.000. was about 1 per cent less than the gross for September. 1927. The ef- fleets of higher efficiency. however. were less marked than in August, when the gross for all roads was about the same as for the previous August, but the net jumped per cent. The September gross for the 25 roads shows a substantial in- crease over their August gross, which was $21S.O13,O00.
 Several railroads reporting their financial condition at the end Of the first months of the year announce increased net operating income over 1927.
 The Pennsylvania reported $S4,- 517.447 against $Sa.530.S35.
 Net operating income of the Great Northern railread was $1S,- s55,7o6. compared to $174o7.246 a year ago.
 Minneapolis X St. Louis reported $74.972 against deficit of $137,- 402 in the same 1927 period.

HOW \. OBTAINS
 ELECTION VOTE
Huee IlcliDdy of Mn lnd Wire Gets Returns

New York, Oct. :s R-Need for prompt returns on every presiden- tial election has been accentuated this year, and for the first time The Associated Press will organ ize it's ''election machine" in every state in the union. The "solid south" and some of the hitherto rock ribbed republican" states of the north have alike been brought into that plan.
 Two main considerations apply to the election reports of The As- sociated Press - accuracy and speed. If accuracy is put first that fact does not imply over-delibera- ton in the assembling and distri- button of the figures. On the con- trary. every human possibility for fast work is carefully eharted in ad- VsEce.
 But accuracy is. of course the sine qua non of such figures. In calculable harm would result from dissemination of erroneous returns and hence much of the emphasis of the machinery is placed on that important factor.
 The system takes care of the result in each precinct or election division of a state. Generally the county is used as the initial uni! and special correspondents. with intimate knowledge of their home counties. are placed in each court ! house with telephones and assist ants to gather and forward the count from each cross roads pol ling place. hamlet or city ward in the county.
 From this first gathering place the figures go to nearby towi where "st tra'egic center" has l.eeA established This is rcla, station charged with the duty oi keeping in touch with a dozen o' ,aore country seat. and seeing hal the correspondents arc lon thoii toes" Generally the commnnica ton between the county seat and its strategic center is by telephone
 The next stage takes the re turns from the zone ccnters to the tabulation headquarters for the en- tire state. A leased wire. either tclephonic or tclegraphic. hook: up the strategic center managers with the election force which pro- dnces the totals that arc hes, q over the radio, seen on theate'

screen or street dkpiay beard or read in the newspaper election '.extras."
 The returns come in accumula- tive fashion. For example. the first report from a given county is likely to be for only one precinct. The next may carry four more. but the county man reports to strate- eic center the total for all five pre- cincts.
 Show Latest Totals As these progressively more comprehensive figures come from each county into tabulation head quarters. the preceding report is displaced by the latter. Thus the tally sheets show the latest totals from each county.
 The county returns are entered on sheets prepared for their re- ception in advance, Each tabula- tor handles from 20 to 30 counties, but only on one or two races v i That is, if both state and national offices are at stake. the ticket IS | divided among several teams of tabulators. each of which makes the entries for president or gover- nor or United States senator. but not for all three. In a state Of 90 counties. therefore. three tabula- tors probably would be used to keep track of the mounting fig ures on the presidential vote, three more on the governorship and SC On.
 Then all these tabulation sheets teams and subdivisions are dupll- cated. They work from the same returns as the first set of figure handlers, but independently o them. Their results are compared only when q total is required. Il the two totals do not agree there is instant comparison of entrie! and a check back if necessary Q the original figures. This may g back to the county or the precinc reporters. And that is where thu accuracy comes in.
 Tabs,latins Returns By this system it is possible t' tablllate returns from at least par of the precincts in every count of state within three or fou hours after the polls close. Sucl widely distributed reports usual indicate whether the state has gon democratic or republican. But Tn Associated Press does not an nounce that result as a fact unti every reasonable shadow of doub has been dissipated.
 It is a simple matter to appl this system to the nation with tn state as unit. The more tha 145.000 miles of leased wire oper ated by The Associated Press f. the continental.
