Despite the efforts of a number of | non-parysan organizations, to get out | a full vote election day. the percentage | of votes cast to the number who were | eligible was Ibwer Tpesday than in | 1 , according to an estimate made last night by Ralph M. Easley of the National Civie Federation. With only 52,000,000 eligible voters in 1920, more than 27,000,000 votes were cast, Mr. Easley pointed out. In 1924 he continued, 30,000,000 votes —the of- ficial returns not yet being in—al- hough in the meantime, the number of elizible voters had been increased to 60,000,000, In an effort to find out why so many who are e'igible to vote fail to go to | the polls, John Hays Hammond, chair- man of the committee on political education of the National Civie Fede- ration, is sending a questionnaire to all organizations that were active in the recent ‘“get-out-the-vote” cam- | palgn, asking them to canvass enough of the “stay-at-home” voters in their respective communities to et a line on the re: ne, so that intelligent educational work may be carried on in the future. “Of course” the statement con- nued, “we know that all the unsel- h and sacrificing work of the or- nizations referred to must have |added hundreds of thousands, if not | millions, of voters to the list and that, had they not voted, there \\nuld‘ \have been a bigger slump in the vote | | as compared with 1920. That is some | consolation and compensation for all | their efforts, but, instead of solving the problem, it has produced a new question yet to be answered and that is, “Why did not all those who voted in 1920, barring changes and deaths, vote in 1924'-" Atkinson, Author, Divorced.

Pine's margin was _approximat in a year when Oklahoma swung back to the Democratic sid and gave its electoral vote to Davis.

One of the campaign arguments he used was the size of the vote received in the primary from the workers em- ployed in the various development companies in which he is interested. Du Pont's election returns the Dela- ware man to the Senate, as he served from July, 1921, to November, 1922, as the appointee of Gov. Denny, when Senator J. O. Wolcott, a Democrat, resigned to become chancellor of Del- aware. Du Pont was nominated by his party in 1922, but was defeated by Senator Thomas F. Bayard, Demo- crat, now his colleague.

Always Schall was paying as he went, earning his way by milking cow: caring for horses, waiting on table, selling papers, shining shoes —in fact, by any job that came his wa Just getting established at the age of 30, Schall lost his sight when the local power plant at Fargo blew up as he was lighting_a cigar at an electric lighter. Undeterred by this mishap, and cheered by Mrs. Schall, whom he had married flve years be- fore, he continued to carry on.s In 1914 Schall followed Theodore Roosevelt, and at the latters solici- tation, entered the race for Congress from the newly formed 10th district. Schall campaigned in a “flivver” with his wife at his side, and went over by 1,400 majority in the face of a hard’ fight. Facing stiff opposition two years later, Schall piled up a 9,000 “majority. In his last three terms he won by majorities ranging from 25,000 to 50,000—declared the largest ever given to.a congressional candidate in the State.

He practiced for a while in Columbus, but after a brief period pulled up stakes and came to Louis- ville, where he has been established for the last 26 years. Sackett’s election to the Senate really brings him into the political arena as an officeholder for the first time, although he has for many vears been prominent in civic affairs in Louisville and in the State to which he came as a young man without means. At the outbreak of the World War, Sackett, then head of the Louisville Board of Trade, was appointed Fed- eral food administrator for Ken- tucky by Herbert Hoover, and served until March, 1919, His interest in welfare work also earned him a place on the State Board of Charities and Correc and this appointment, given by Gov.

Being admitted to the bar in 1895, he remained but a year longer in the Army. Then the Spanish-American War came along, and Tyson was commis- sioned by President McKinley as a colonel in the Sixth U.
