How many residents of the WASH

Lists of Those Driving Cars.
Both the Democrats and Repub-
licans are keeping lists Of those
they know are driving home to vote
and have extra seats in their cars;
also parallel lists of those who want
a ride.
Mrs. Ethel Y. Black, who is In
charge Of the Democratic, absentee
voters bureau, estimates that 100, 900
Democratic absentee ballots will be
cast from this area. She said the
number of Democratic voters In
1914 was the same.
There will be especially heavy
absentee voting by the residents Of
New York, Illinois. Ohio. Indiana,
Tennessee. Kentucky, California and
North Carolina, she said.
I'VE have had to replenish our
supply of applications for ballots
from these States three different
times" she added.
Mrs. Black explained that many
civil service employees here keep
their home voting registrations to
insure their inclusion in the civil
service. quotas from their home
States. She said she understood
that the Maryland and Virginia
quotas are usually filled, which
would make it difficult for Govern
ment workers originally from other
States to be included in those
quotas.
The Republicans estimate of alb
sentee voters Is smaller than the
Democrats. This is natural after
Is years of Democratic control of
Government administration.
COP Listed $1,000 In ~.
George L. Hart, jr, secretary Of
the Republican State Committee for
the District, said that in 1914 there
were 10000 callers at the absenteeI
voters bureau. He estimated the
number this year would be more
but said it would not be known
definitely until the figures are finally
tabulated.
The Republican absentee voters in
the District area In 1914. he said,
outnumbered the Republican voters
in each of eight States.
Whereas West Virginia Democrats
have q separate Office here, the
office for Republican voters from
that State Is at the Dewey Warren
Club headquarters. It is operated
by the West Virginia Republican
State Committee together with the
Republican State Committee Of the
District.
Mrs. Casey M. Jones, executive
secretary, estimated the West Vir-
ginia Republican vote here at 1000
to 5000.
Frank Ross, who runs the West
Virginia Democratic office, said a
conservative estimate Of the Demo-
cratic votes from this area is $500.

Built By Ed. Dreyer
This station, which is locat-
ed on City property, was orr
ginally constructed by Ed
mund Dreyer in 1884. The
original station consisted only
of the part now used for Of
flee space and, shortly after
Homer G.. Ingram purchased
the building in 1887, he added
a "a foot addition to the north.
At this time Michael "Mieky"
Biastock went into business
with Mr.. Ingram and operated
the station until 1912, when
he went into the armed forces.
Following the departure of
mickey, the station remain
ed idle for six months before
Paul l.. Miller took it over,
renting first from Mr.. Ingram
and later from Louis Pickus,
who purchased the building
from Mr.. Ingram in 1915. Mr..
Miller finally sold the business
to Poulsen on December, 1916,
and last summer, when the
Texaco company took long
term contract on the building,
another addition of 80 feet was
added to the present building,
thus making it capable of pro-
viding more and better service
to it's patrons.

Parents Met In Denmark
The history of the Poulsen
family, which has been pro-
minently associated with the
history of Zion may be traced
back to Denmark, where
Jacks father and mother had
been childhood sweethearts.
Shortly after coming to this
country in 1898 they were
married in Chicago. It was a
double wedding in which Mrs.
Poulsen's brother, Samuel Ras-
mussen also was married, and
the two couples stood up for
each other.
