Chicago, Oct. . Election day
thia year, If the public turn out to
vote aa may wall be eipoeted, will
-witness tba greatest oonfuaion that
has aver marked a similar event in
American hlatory.
- Because of the belated ratification of
the women'e suffrage amendment which
ratification it eicted to add. conser
' vatlvely, at least .OOO.OOfl voter to the
5 list: a majority of states have been
r unable to enlarge their election machin
ery to meet the increased volume of
business. Aa a result, almost the esroe
) facilities for handling the election thle
year are in uae ae were usea in me iaei
election, and with the prospect of from
'- B.ooo.ooo to 10,000.000 more voters that
must be accommodated.
"V0TK EAELT," SLOGAJT
There Is a great' danger, therefore, of
thousands of people aot being able to
; cast their ballots In the limited time
allotted for the work.' Because of this,
there ha been started now a tremendous
movement In all Mates to have the peo-
. pie vote early.
1 Nevertheless. It may be expected that
the results In all states will be delayed
and the final conclusive vote unavailable
' for a period longer than has been the
, case In elections of the past.
Generally speaking, five minutes Is the
' time that the average voter requires to
. fill out his or her ballot. Some, of
course, require less and some more. But
there sre so many different parties and
so many factional fights on In the coun
try that this year It would seem doubt
f ul If the average lme required to make
' out the ballot would prove less than
five minutes.
, BALLOT BROAD A5D WIDE
Incidentally, the number of parties has
1 no Increased the also of the ballots that
? hundreds of thousands of dollars must
be spent this year above previous ballot
printing coats.
r Take, for example, the Chicago ballot
" It measures SO by 8 Inches There are
complete tickets for the. Democratic, Re
, publican. Socialist. Socialist-Labor. Pro
hibition. Farmer-Labor and Single Tax
'parties. In addition there la the space
for John Harlan candidate for gov
ernor on the "Harding-Coolldge Repub
. Mean" ticket, apart from th regular Re
nubllcaa ticket Harrison Parker la list
ed 'as candidate for governor cm the
"Cooperative Party of , America" ticket.
There ta a candidate for governor, also
on the "Liberal" ticket, and a candidate
for congressman at large on the "Irtde-
, pendent ticket.
K is estimated by Chief Clerk Sulll
van of the election board that. In Chi
cairo alone, the cost of printing and
handling the ballots thla year will be
175.000 over that of previous elections.
LOXGER TIME SEEDED
Six tone of paper will be required to
print the 6.000.000 hie -ballots for dlstri
. butlon to the voters, and 4 trucks have
been secured to convey these ballota to
the polls In Chicago.
A aimilar situation, vary in a in de
grees according to the else of the cities,
exists In almost every state in the
union.
And to study and vote such ballots
will require more time than has been
needed In previous campaigns. This I
particularly true in view of the fact
that .the women generally and the men
to a leas degree are manifesting Inten
tlon of votinY Independently Of party.
Hundreds of thousands, for example, are
voting for a presidential candidate of
one party and a senator or another party.
In addition, governors are being elected
this year in a majority of states and
here again the voting Independent of
- atrlct party lines is a feature of many
of the contests.
SOT TIME E50FOH
In aa attempt to meet the situation,
election boards throughout this section
have adopted the slogan: "Vote before
10 a. ns. If you dont wish to lose your
,vote.M
In Indiana' and Ohio, where the fijrht
has taken on unusuaJI intensity, the dis
trict leaders are voting thousands of
people who, are old or ailing at their
homes. In order to save time. In fact.
I found In Indiana that In Some dis
tricts the leaders are applying for bal
,l6ts to; be voted at home by some who
could go to the polls, but because of the
heavy registration in certain districts
, were being voted at, home to Insure all
.people registered getting in during the
established hours,
I In scores of precincts in the East and
Mlddlv West It has been discovered that
the registration Is Such Kiat If even an
average of three minutes were -given
v 5 each voter registered, all could not vote
within the period established by law.

- ? In 1913 the total vote on the presidency
was 15.031. 19. In 111 this vote had in
creased to 13,628.743, but in anticipation
; of the increased. Vote many states made
provision for extra election machinery.
This year It is estimated that the total
presidential vote will range around
23,000.000, which Increase has not been
. generally provided fOr by the states.
in un there were premature celebra
tions of victories by many, from prest
- v dentlat candidates down, only to have
: th final vote a day or so later reveal
tthat In many Instances. Including the
, s presidency, the early indicated results
4 jiroTwu. erroneous.
This VMrii a r.nlt h
tlon of the election machinery, the vote
, count probably will be delayed even be
yond the time required In 1916 with
similar possibility, of a chance in result
ywuen the final results are in.
