C., July 23--MNitary 'boards of strategy had no more-- diffi-- 'cult problems to solvye in localiizing full atreagth of the army than thove lwhhh confront the national commit-- tees in charge of presidential cam-- paigns. The latter have real problems on hand in overcoming the compla-- cency of the average party member .and the alarming indifference of the American citizen as to the exercise of ltbc electoral franchise. In the head-- |quarters of the various political par-- |uo- here, in New York, and Chicage, 'the organization plans for the cam-- |paign will embrace the all4mportant \question of bringing out a large vyole 'in November. The leaders are thor-- oughly cognizant of the importance of the stay--at--home vote, which, it is said 'u sufficient to change the result of 'the presidential election in a vas ma-- 'jority of the states. Several representative leaders were interviewed by the writer this week concerning their plans for the cam-- paign. It is natural that these politi-- cal chieftains should stress the char-- acteristics, influence and qualifica-- tions of those heading the Rarious na-- tional tickets, but, underneath this for-- mal atitude, a note of concern as to 1 It is pointed out, however, that 'there are of course exceptions t othis statement where local issues are bit-- terly contested, ard the women voters are persuaded to turn out in large numbers. Those who actively support-- 'ed legislation which conferred suffrage lon women insist that it is desirable 'from many points of vie wthat women 'should participate more freely in pub-- 'lic affairs3. ' the actual numerical strength of their parties is easily discernable. As one leader described the situa-- tion: "Theée mental ;ttflde of the average voter that his or her vote does count must be chiinged if party sys-- tems are to survive. There is another group which is satisfied that their par-- ty will win because of surface indica-- | tions. It may be likened to the com-- placency of newly married couples who are gradually awakened to the truth | of things. Less lip service and more ' actual voting is something that all | parties need today." There are a number of political lead-- ers who have expressed some concern over the woman vote, It is true that in the presidential eléctions of 1920 the women voted in impressive num-- bers ih all states. But the yoliticians are now fearful that the woman voter generally is losing her interest in the electoral franchise, at least insofar as a national ticket is involved. Several prominent campaigners even go so far as to say that many women voted four years ago for the first time and that the novelty having worn off they will not go to the polis this year. The national leaders of political par-- ties feel that it is time that the theory of the chronic faultfinder that his par-- ticular vote bears little or no signifi-- cance should be changed. These chief-- tains believe that the best results may be obtained from intensive educational work in various precinets. The opin-- ion has been expressed _ttfi& there are too many fault--finders within the vari-- ious parties who complain of the short ,comlngu of their leaders or represen-- tatives in legislative assemblies with-- out coing anything at e'l~ction time to PMR ECCUE® NOC | Mr and Mrs. 'George Jacobs of \Grand Rapids, Mich., are visiting their 'parents, Mr. and Mrs. F.C.

Simon Michelet, a Wash-- 'lnnon lawyer, has made an intimate !nudy of the absentee voter probiem. Figures compiled _ by Mr. Michelet 'lhov that for every 100 votes cast for president in 1920, there were 96 stay-- 'athomes, the total absentee vote reaching the vast aggregate of 25,--705-- 063. This stayat--bome total is arriv-- ed at after deducting 8,467,6%5 dis-- qualified citizens of 21 years and mr, 'lncludlng about 6,200,000 alien orAun-- 'naturalized foreign borns and over 2,-- '000,000 illiterate citizens, white and | colored, disfranchised under the elec-- tion laws of 12 southern states. The stay--at--home vote, the study disclosed, bring about desirable changes. _ !o wther words, active party woukers *« sou4 the claim of grumbilers to part» lobels when their actions 'nuica e that they sre anything but help'ul to par-- ty wellare. is not characteristic of any particular section, but is more or less common to every section, North or South, East or West. There are many potential voters who claim that the right to vote in several states is hedged in by requirements which are very discouraging to a per son who really desires to exercise the voting privilege. Some complain about the registration system, but this is a necessary procedure to make certain the right of the citizen to vote. The registration lists of qualified voters are doubly necessary in establishing the right of the citizen to cast a ballot and to prevent duplication and fraud. History has many instances of fraudu lent registration, put such practices have been practically wiped out by stringent election laws. Cases have been recoreded where < frauds have been perpétrated upon the public by stringent ®@lection laws. Cases have been recorded where frauds have been perpetrated upon the public by the bal-- loting system but the present secret ballot is a development of electoral r_system which allows the voter to indi-- cate his or her choice of candidate lwlthout being intimidated. It is claim-- ed that at least 75 per cent of the Inlne of the absentee voting laws is nullified by stringent registration re-- quirements. Assuming that there are 25,000,000 stay--at--home votes, it is es timated that 10 per cent of these po-- 'tential voters, of colonized in doubtful §stntes. would decide any close na-- 'tional contest. The state committee 'o fthe major parties are giving due 'consideration to this condition in an |effort to make them active electors. iOne of the principal restrictions of 'this missionary work is the numerous '"corrupt practices" laws which limit the expenditures of the political par-- ties. The recent movement calling 'for a curb on campaign contributions lis also another important factor be-- | cause money is necessary to defray 'public workers in locating the absen-- Our Washington Letter tee or stay--athome votes in various communities.

EVERETT BALL TEAM ROUTS LONG GROVE LAST SUNDAY Everett was hitting Sunday, and when the gang finds the pitchers rage they sure can put the ball out of the lot. Tulley, who is mighty h'ard to hit when bhe's in top form, had all the dope he needed Sunday. Several' times the Long Grove boys threatened to score, but the man at bat couldn't seem to connect--too much steam. Tack also was hitting--getling a long drive in the fourth, which scored two. O The team as a whole played fine ball, more like the old team than I've seen them this season. They got a little anreless in the last two innings, allowing Long Grove to score when they could have been held down. Ball games bave been lost that way b before. e En s o e © Van Landuyt. who played in Therrien place, showed up fine--gct a hit every time up, scored two runs and made classy catches in the field. He would be a valuable additio nto any team. Next Eunday we play Area at iMMam-- ond Lake. You know what that means --a real ball game. It takes rea:. play: ing" to beat Area. . (By an Everatt Fan BY WILLIAM D ALEY N. E. A. Cortespondent DESTRUCTION OF 100 BBLS. BEER ORDERED TODAY ~SET 100 PER CENT _ RECORD IN SAFETY To stimulate interest in safety work, a friendly contest recently was entered into between picked teams of eight men, under a captain, of the Waukegan and Milwaukee city lines of the North Shore line. The teams were picked by the superintend@nts in both cities with-- out the knowledge of the men who composed the teams. The contest was to see which team would have the fewest accidents in a 30--day period. After a dinner given the contesting teams in Hotel Wisconsin, Milwau-- kee, it transpired that both had scored 100 per cent. Neither tsam had a single accident during the 30-- day period. When it is considered that the cars are operating in busy city strects, the record is a remark-- able one. It probably never has been equaled on an electric road. The division superintendents who are responsible for the remarkable records are W. H. Burke in Milwau-- kee and George C. Kenry in Wau-- kegan. The cars are of the one--man safety type, and the operators who hung up the record for Milwaukee are Operators Byrne, Borchardt, Leadley, Rozek, Kearney, Fabich, Horbinski, Kornicke, with J. A. Larke as cap tain. The members of the Waukegan team are Captain Turney and Op erators Henderson, Raymond, Molden-- hauer, Beaver, Daley, Wells, Burckle and O'Flaherty. Waukegan and Milwaukee No. Shore Employes Run 30 Days Without Accident. At the dinner a friendly dispute arose between the teams as to the actual date on which the contest started. The Milwaukee tam post-- poned the opening date on two OCca-- sions at the request of the Wau-- kegan team,+so that Superintendent Burke claimed that his team really had gone six weeks without an acci-- dent. Both teams appeared at the dinner ready to challenge the win-- ner, but it was a draw, arranke-- ments were made to continue the contest for another 30--day period. The contest proves that when men go to work in the morning deter-- mined to go through the day without an accident, it can be done. It is a great record A petition for habeas corpus was filed in circuit court Monday, demand-- ing that Sheriff Ahistrom be compelled to release John Turner of Lake For-- est, who is serving a six months' jail sentence for driving an automobile while intoxicated. He was also fined $100 by Justice of the Peace John HABEAS CORPUS TO ~FREE JOHN TURNER The petitioner, through Attorney James G. Welch, alleged that the justice exceeded his authority in pro-- nouncing such a seveére jail sentence. Turner was placed in the county jail J. fieci'lej in Deerfleld, who appended the jail sentence. _ c 9 rey court.
