This makes it possible, therefore, for
States more distant from the DEtrlct
to outstrip them in the number OF
absentee votes delivered to the re-

cratic headquarters for absentee votes
in the District, the States OF New

Texas, West Virginia, Colorado and

IN ADDITION to the three States

which prohibit absentee voting. They
are Kentucky, Mississippi, Louisiana,

up where the citizen Of each particu-

it amounts to a one-third increase IN
this store. The greatest increase Is
noticeable in payments on accounts
especially if the pay day falls on the

Opinions differ among various mer-

for a weekly instead Of fortnightly

thought that with a weekly pay day

They will vote, however, not as citi-
zens Of the National Capital, but
rather in the fashion of expatriates
maintaining remote contact with the
homeland through the agency OF alb
sentee ballots.
Does the number Of votes to be so
cast seem large? If it does, 1t never
theless has the official sanction OF
major party workers here, who have
undertaken the tremendous task OF
getting the Washington vote to Its
far-distant polls on election day.
The business Of getting out the
Washington vote is handled through
what is called absentee voters serv-
ice. It Is performed by Democratic
and Republican organizations IN the
District and knows no rest, night or
day. It is huge business-larger this
year than ever before in the history
of the city.
This Is an enormous voting popu-
lation-as large as f1rst-class city.
Four years ago this vote was esti-
mated to be In the neighborhood Of
$1,000. This year the Democratic
ladies of the District, in charge Of the
Democratic absentee vote, expect to
send out about $4,000.
What States get the most Of these
votes? Those nearest to the District
normally-you would say. For these
States keep up their quota of Federal
employees. However, this is not the
case. For some of the States nearest
the District do not permit balloting
by mail. To vote, therefore, theiz
citizens must travel home. And this
takes time and money. For instance
Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jer-
sey do not permit absentee voting. In
other words, citizens Of these States r

and regularity that, quite aside from
the sums entailed, present picture of
accuracy, speed and efficiency perhaps
not equaled in any organization out

The incalculable detail involved is
enough to intimidate the most intrepid.

Or, again, how would you like to see

sure that not one signature more, nor
one signature less, had been turned

"On the first floor we have five

at a time, they are kept moving with
such precision and everything is done
so methodically that, by actual tim

the window Is to receive the slip and
deduct the sum from the pay check.
The line begins to form at shortly
after noon, according to Mr.. Buete,

4:30 and 4:45 pm.
