By EDNA MARSHALL. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.—Get- ting out the vote has come to: be more than a moyement. It is a mania. Every day sees the “Get Out the Vote Club” banded by Simon Michelet, the League of Women Voters and other organizations and individuals backing the attempt to increase if not to double the 1920 vote this fall, cogitating some scheme whereby a new voter may be gained. Can a. poor soldier lie peaceably in his bed, if in a disabled veterans’ hospital, to meditate on his woes or to try to ver his health? “He can not. He must vote—and. be- tween now and November, he must withstand a. barrage of questions on whether he has arranged to register in his home state so that he may vote by meil. an a hurried traveling salesman g0 about his*work, expounding the value of his wares to prospective customers? No, indeed, he must first discuss at costly length the possibilities of congress being called, on to choose a président. And if he inadvertently implies he will not-be home to vote, his doom is as good as sealed. t out the yote by mail" ts the slogan which has supplemented the old “Get out the vote".

Of the 75,000 to 100,000 Cisabled veterans in the country, hospitalized or out in the world, four fifths are expected to ‘cast ballots.
