COVERING ELECTION
y
.A.P. Gathering Results From
Every District for The
Evening Star.

Z Spread across the United States to.
day a precision machine Is ready TO
weave q pattern of the Nations action
at the polls for The Evening Star.
II Is the elections organization of
the Associated Press. The important
business Of covering a presidential
election finds the A. p ready with an
army of $4,000 mobilized to handle
the event for The Star and more than
1850 other Associated Press member
newspapers.
The regular Associated Press staff
in 90 domestic bureaus has been aug
mented by thousands Of reliable and
experienced correspondents, telephone
and telegraph operators, tabulators
and messengers.
@1-~ Special Election Wires.
Special election wires supplement
. the regular A. P. 280,Ooo-mile leased
. wire network. The center Of this
vast election coverage set-up Is in
, Washington, where Byron Price, chief
! of bureau, and a staff Of political
! experts will record an accurate account
! of the balloting and prepare interpre-
. tive stories and comprehensive news
I of what is happening to major political
figures and issues.
The Associated Press election ma
chine is geared for speed and accuracy
With the report of the first precinct
today. the greatest integrated news
organization ever brought into play to
cover single news event was thrown
into action. II will rise to q great
crescendo as the returns increase In
volume and will continue to function
until the last vote is counted.
There are some 100000 election
districts in the country, and the A. p
has arranged to get the vote count
from each district as the tabulation
is completed.
The vote count is so accurate that
in past elections, official returns have
been found to be almost identical with
the much earlier unofficial returns
compiled by the A. P. It is so fast
that almost as soon as precinct elec-
ton judges complete their count the
results are in A. p. member papers al
over the country.
Reporters in various election dis.
tricts flash the count to county head
quarters in charge of an A. p. member
paper or county correspondent. There
the county totals are quickly tabulated
checked for error and telephoned OF
telegraphed to State headquarters.
As the reports speed into State
headquarters. bulletins will fiow out
over the wire network to The Star on
automatic telegraph machines at the
rate of so words minute.
Shaped Into News Stories.
From State headquarters, results
are sent in detail to Associated Press
members. They also are summarized
for dispatch to Washington, where a
seasoned stan transcribes names and
totals into comprehensive stories OF
the Nations vote.
AS soon as the returns gain SUN.

LUCK.
THE providence that protects fools

tended its service to include at least
one forgetful husband.
The wife of the man in question was
giving bridge party the other eve

to buy one new deck Of cards. He
said he would.
Ibid you get those cards?" his wife
asked him at dinner.
I'm sorry" the husband began,
but before he could go further with
his apology for having forgotten, he
remembered that he had won Q deck
of cards in claw machine Just . few
minutes before coming home.
Up to then, he had been regarding
his luck as bad all day long.

Uandon defined the "overwhelm-

would be major issues ''in an ordinary
