ELABORATE SETUP
FOR SOLDIER VOTE
County Clerks, Secretary of
State Hope to Give All
,115,000 Opportunity.
Salem. Ore., June 19 (U.PJ
If Oregon's 115.000-odd men and
women in service don't get a
in vote in November, it
won't be the fault of the county
clerks of the state, nor of the
secretary of state's office, which
is handlmB arrangements de
signed to give Oregonlans one
of the best opportunities to cast
their votes of any somiers in me
nation.
This the dan:
On July 10, all county clerks
of the state will meet in Salem
tn settle any questions which
rnav arise in using a uniform
system of absentee voting.
Postcards Apply
Federally provided postcards,
which will serve as both an ap
plication for an absentee ballot
and as registration for those who
are not registered in their home
counties for one reason or an
other, will be given out so that
they will reach soldiers overseas
not later than August 15, and
soldiers in thin country not later
than September 15.
These cards, when returned
here, or to the county clerks,
will be placed on file for two
purposes: First, to act as the
soldier's registration; second, so
that signatures may be com
pared when the ballots are re
ceived. Upon receipt of the cards or
ny other communication show
ing eligibility and desire for the
ballot, absentee ballots will be
mailed to the service men and
women. This will be approxi
mately 42 or 43 days before the
elections, when the forms are
closed. This will give ample
time for mail to go and come
back, as army men have figured
that Oregon is not more than 17
days away by air mail from any
soldier, no matter In what part
of the world he Is.
Federal Ballot. Too
If, however, the soldier docs
not receive the Oregon ballot in
time, he is entitled to use the
federal ballot, which does not
contain all the proposals upon
which he is entitled to vote, but
which does contain the major
national candidates.
If he receives the state ballot
after he has already mailed the
federal ballot he can still vote
and mail it, and if both are re
ceived in time to be counted,
the state ballot will be the one
recognized, as it Is the complete
one.
Th federal ballot may be
used onlV by soldiers outside the
United States, as all of them in
the continental limits will re
ceive the state ballot.
An average of 80 applications
for ballots is being received dnt
ly. Secretary of State Robert S.
Farrell, Jr., reports. Nearly 7000
have been received so far, and
have been forwarded to the coun
ty clerks concerned.

all told, between $95,000 and $230,000. Yet your chances
