How Both Parties Send Voters to Their Homes in Doubtful States, It isevident that both parties intend to make ample provision for sending voters from Washing- ton to help out in the close states, For the demo- crats, Secretary Thompson, of the congressional ‘committee, is authorized to provide reduced rates of transportation. But he 1s not to have the field to himself. The central democratic committee of the District 1s prepared to assist voters of the democratic faith to their homes. Several of tbe State democratic associations are also engaged in similar work ‘The Virginia democratic association, which has been diligent in past campaigns in sending voters to the Old Dominion, 1s ready to do its part in the Present Aight, The Maryland democratic associa- Uon will look after voters for that state, and .the New York association will have an eye out for Dis- trict_people who can aid the demoeratic cause in the Einpire State. Already quite a number of ap- ications for reduced rates of transportation have h received, but the next ten days will be the busiest period, ‘WHAT IB REQUIRED. Of course men applying for reduced rates are re- quired, unless known, to produce some evidence of thelr right to vote and of their politics. Usually they are only required to be identified and vouched yy some well-known democrat. Voters who can show that they are not able vo bear the ex- Pense of a trip to their polling places will be fur- nished with free transportation. Men in Govern- ment employ are not regarded as entitled to any- for ‘bing more than reduced rates. Itis held to their duty to make some sacrifice of time and ves them position. But lay, and who therefore lose wages for every day absent, are con- sidered as entitled to transportation free.

TAPPING THE WIRES. How Three Firms of Bookmakers Were Swindied Yesterday.
