SOLDIER BALLOT
E
ELECTJONRESULT
Delayed Counting of Votes
Might Keep Result in Sus
pense for Days or Weeks.
By Lyl C. Wilson
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Oct. 23 (U.R)
There is at least a theoretical
satistical possibility that delayed
counting of soldier votes could
keep the result of the November
7 presidential election in doubt
for days or weeks.
An unofficial United Press
compilation shows that upward
of 4.000,000 ballots have been
sent to service men. If President
Roosevelt and Gov. Thomas B.
Dewey should come to a photo
finish in the civilian voting, tiro
winner might not be determined
until the last votes from the
military are counted. The dead
line for the soldier vote count
varies in different states,- rang
ing on up from election day in
most states to December 7 in
Nebraska.
Must Count All
AH absentee ballots soldiers'
and civilians' alike must be
counted on November 7 in every
state but "11. These 11 states
have a total of 118 electorial
votes. Many persons a' r e con
vinced that next month's elec
tion will be a close one and for
this reason, the service vote in
one or more states may be a
vital factor.
In the 11 states where the
soldier vote may be tabulated
later than Nov. 7, the voters
that are in on Nov. 7 may be
counted then or shortly there
after. But in each of these
states there are dead-lines at
which acceptance or counting
of delayed soldier votes must
cease. Here they are:
California, Nov. 24; Colorado,
Nov. 22; Delaware, Nov. 9;
Florida, Nov. 17; Missouri, Nov.
10; Nebraska, Dec. 7; North Da
kota, Dec. 5; Pennsylvania, Nov.
22; Rhode Island, Dec. 4; Utah,
Nov. 27, and Washington, Nov.
27.
Seek Early Return
Military authorities are mak
ing every effort to get the vote
in early. Soldier ballots take
precedence over all mails ex
cept two kinds classified as se
cret. However, the exigencies
of war may cause delay from
some areas.
Two big states, either of
which could prove to be the key
to victory in the elections Cal-
m inr-nf
Ifomla and Pennsylvania are
among the group with the latest
deadlines for the soldier vote.
It is estimated that 173,000 Cali
fornia service men and women
have received absentee ballots.
In that state civilian absentee
ballots may be counted through
Nov. 13, but soldier votes can
be accepted through Nov. 24.
There are some 500,000 armed
service ballots out from Penn
sylvania. If a close contest de
velops in either or both of these
states, the soldier tally will de
cide which candidate gets their
sizable bloc of electoral votes.

MPROVE PATTERN
Through efforts of the boys
and girls of Jackson County, the
national pattern of gift boxes
sent overseas by the Red Cross
to war refugees and prisoners
has been improved. Jackson
County's Junior Red Cross had
their boxes chosen as a pattern
of all gift boxes, Miss Vera
Humphrey, chairman of Jackson
County's Junior Red Cross an
nounced Friday. A sample box
is now on display at Red Cross
Headquarters, Washington, D.C.
The local Junior Red Cross,
whose headquarters are located
in the Holly Building, Is com
posed of every school girl and
boy in Jackson County. At this
time members are engaged in
making up "greeting boxes" for
refugee children in liberated
lands. The boxes are filled with
articles a child needs, such as
pencils, toothpaste, toothbrushes
and combs. "Something pretty"
and "something useful" are also
added. The number of boxes
prepared is limited by the num
ber of empty Red Cross cartons
available. Thus far, 368 boxes
are under way.
The Junior Red Cross Is also
making gift boxes for soldiers.
The artioles which these boxes
contain are made to fulfill defi
nite requests channeled through
Red Cross camp and hospital
councils and Junior Red Cross
area officers. They consist of
comfort and recreational arti
cles, such as vases, ash trays,
Joke books and bound nov!s.
The art department at Med
ford High School, in conjunc
tion with the Junior Red Cross,
has taken over an order for 150
menu covers for the navy.
