M illions of ballots will be cast in th is test vote, and a t least two weeks before the N ovem ber elections those who follow th is straw vote will be able to tell w ith o u t fear of co n trad ictio n who is to be th e next occupant of th e W hite House, and by bow many votes he will win. In o rd er to accom plish th is titan ic task eig h t tho u san d R exall Drug sto res In th e U nited S tates have been desig n ated by th e U nited D rug com pany, of Boston, as th e balloting points.

T he big unknow n q u a n tity In the forthcom ing election Is th e w om en's vote. In o rd er to accu rately com pute th is vote, two b allot boxes have been Installed in each Rexall d ru g store, one for th e m ale vote, th e o th e r for the women. Each n ig h t th e vote will be counted, th a t of men and women to ta le d separately. Each ballot clerk, in each tow n or city, a fte r com piling his local vote, will teleg rap h his re tu rn s to a cen tral point in th a t sta te .

In addition to th is th e Btate cap tain, a f te r com piling th e vote for his sta te , will send th ese re tu rn s back to each Rexall D rug sto re In his state, w here they will be p rom inently dis played on each sto re window. T he Boston office, a fte r receiving th e rep o rts from all 4 8 sta te s, will com pile th e to ta l n atio n al vote, for men and women, sep arately , and a b ulletin will be Issued each n ig h t, to g eth er with th e to tal figures by states, which will be sen t back to all th e 8000 d ru g stores and to many new spapers and news agencies th ro u g h o u t the country.
