"Howell is a Babbitt"
Professor Morgan Discusses Author in Lecture
"William Dean Howells was a middle westerner quite as much as a Babbit," said Professor Rose Morgan of the English department in the second of the contemporary literature lectures.
"Howells was a realist in theory as well as in practice. In prose he used mainly the travel sketch and the force under his handling is simply a clever bit of dialogue out of a novel. Howells's western character is always making his appearance; and he is always humorous, resourceful and thoroughly kind. While Howells may very well have been unconnoisseur of himself, her utterance is essentially himself observing his life. His gland and foreign countries."
"Howells was typically American, as the blood of four nationalities flowed in his veins. He attended the graded schools but he obtained most of his education in his father's newspaper office and little library.
"Though Howells is known chiefly as a novelist, his own early dream was to be a poet and the very soul of the man is to be found, in such slim volumes of verse as "The Mother of Virtue" and "The Steps of Various Quills."

New York Labor Vote Switches to Support of Davis
Democratic Support Hope for Added Votes From Today's Turn in Campaign
New York, Oct. 31.—Political prognostications as to the disposition of New York's 45 electoral votes were thrown into confusion today by the sensational turn in the campaign brought about when the New York City Labor council switched its endorsement from LaFollette to Davis. Friends of the Democratic nominee have joined the entire vote of the Labor council, about 700,000 according to its own estimate, to Davis.
Besides the local effect, his leaders believe that the effect upon the Labor vote for the rest of the season will depend on how closely expect that other organizations within the American Federation of Labor may also switch their
Hope to Defeat Coolidge
The act was attributed by members of the council to the fact that they believe, "Senator LaFolette now has no chance of election and that a vote cast for him in this state is East as a vote cast for the enemies of labor-Coolidge and Driven.

If he should capture New York's 45 yates, which will be 15 times as much as the state of Arizona, he would have his strength from the solid south and border states, he could at least prevent election of Mr. Coolidge if he could not elect himself.
His opponents, however, find one or two flaws in the switch. They contend that even its effect in New York City is diminished because it allows workers to vote through that the labor vote through the country willray no attention to it.

OFFICIAL EXPLAINS VOTING County Clerk Bussing Tells of Procedure in Casting Ballots
The political tension which has been increasing as the weeks of the campaign roll by will be relieved when the results of election day, next Tuesday, Nov. 4, are compiled. The interest displayed by University students indicate that they will take their due share in the pluing of the data during their individual poll and casting their individual gallots.
The w has b een almost no end of political "fireworks" in which the matters of the campaign have been "speechified", written about, talked on, posted and otherwise advertised. Despite all this biasedardent many University men and women, some voting for the first time, will be puzzled as to why these proceedings have been verified by local county officials and will be found of aid to all voters.
Due to the urging, by civic and non-political organizations as well as by party adherents, for every eligible voter to go to the polls on election day, we need a method of election day affairs anticipate that an unprecedented number of persons will appear at the voting places. E. C. Busing, Douglas county clerk, is making every effort to have all voters properly informed to the local board of elections, in the method of marking the ballot. He is paying special attention to the absent voters, of which there are many in Lawrence due to University students whose legal residences are either part of the state a Kansas.
from which office their ballota w. be forwarded to their legal voting place."
Mr. Bussing adds that in view of the fact that such absent voters here will receive the same ballots used by them, it will be necessary for them to obtain a list of the candidates for their respective district and county offices
There are two types of qualified voters among the University students. And a "qualified voter" may be one who is at least six years of the United States, of the age of twenty-one years, one who has been an inhabitant of this state for six winters, and a resident for thirty years in the city or ward for which he is being voted.
Who Can Vote?
The voter will receive竞选盒 the same four ballots used in all voting precincts in Lawrence. The context of the ballot is explained in more detail below.
Those who have their permanent evidence in Lawrence, or who come here this fall have designated Lawrence as their legal residence, are of the one type of qualified voter in Kansas. The other three persons must have registered prior to Oct. 24. The second type of qualified voter on the Hill includes all those persons when home or permanent address is not in Lawrence but in some other part of Kansas. It is to this latter class, the "absent voters," that Mr. Buss directs most of his special instructions.
Special care must be taken by the absent voter that he marks his ballot properly. The national and
As Mr. Bussing requests, the absent voters are to come to my office in the Douglas county court house on election day, where a special polling place will be arranged. The absent voter will first be required to make out an affidavit declaring his intention to vote. If he fails his absence from there and consequent need to vote here, if he $i$ to enjoy his right of franchise.
state ticket appear on the same hallate, and this will necessitate but one change for the absent voter, provided the voter resides elsewhere than Douglas or Jefferson counties or the 2nd congressional district.
The ballot handed to the voter here will naturally bear the names of the candidates for the 2nd congressional district, and one of the other seven congressional districts he will have to write in the extra space provided the name of the person he wishes to designate as a congressman from his own home district.
The vote so changing his labele is not to cross out the capitation, "For Congressman 2nd District" which 9 people above the place in which he makes his insertion, despite and fact that his vote is for a man in an entirely different district. Since these ballots are sealed and mailed to his home county three days before confusion as to what the voter intended.
Mr. Bussing wishes it to be particularly stressed that the writing of the name of one's home district or county candidate in the blank space is not sufficient to denote for whom the ballot is cast. The mark (X) must follow the inserted many marks of the ballot will not be counted.
Voter Must Know Candidates
In the district, county, and township ballot the absent voter will have to insert the names of the candidates in his home address, and there is a question whether the township vote will be counted. The district and county insertions will be counted, however.
The absent voter should pre-fix himself with all the names of the candidates running for the positions of state district and county. These include the candidates for the offices of congressman, (representative to Washington) judge of the district court, state senator, district repre-

Campaign Leader Defends LaFollette at Club Meeting
Names Issue as Economic
Monopoly Results in
Poverty, Says
J. L. Jones
"The red' of today is the conservative of tomorrow.
"Every pioneer has always been crucified.
"The wheels of progress move forward in spite of reaction.
"The path toward human freedom is marked with the blood of martyrns." With these statements, John L. Jones, head of the La Follette campaign in western Missouri began a address at the La Follette club dinner held yet day evening at the Commons.
One of the principal points in the speech of Mr. Jones was his attack on the "unarquivalence of power by the supreme court."
"Jefferson was called a "Jacobin," the equialist of *Red* in his day—because he assailed Marshall, who had assumed powers for the supreme court which were never granted by the constitution," said Mr. Jones. He said he would be able to 83 can decide which law shall be constitutional and which shall not. In a 5 to 4 decision, one man holds the balance of the voice of 110 million people. No ear, king, expenser or crowned ever enjoyed such executive powers.
"The Calif Labor law was declared unconstitutional in a 5 to 4 decision.
In Maryland alone 4000 children were killed in industry last year. Since that time, the number of unconstitutional, there has been an increase of 25 per cent in child labor in the country. This is one reason why 50 per cent of the voters do not vote. They have lost confidence in the governor's supreme court "an nullify the laws."
Savs Issue Is Economic
Mr. Jones asserted in his speech that the issue this year is not political but economic, that although the United States is the wealthiest nation on earth, the most prosperous, because the wealth is concentrated in a few hands.
"With all our wealth, why is poverty increasing?" naked the speaker. "The answer is simply this: Twenty-one people control the industry and employ three people who monopoly engages in competition, resulting in over-production, thus glutting the market. Unemployment results, with a loss of wages, and thus of the purchasing power of the workers, caused starvation in the midst of plenty."
The war record of La Follett was explained and denied by Mr. Jones. He said that the Associated Press deliberately falsified a statement made by the Wisconsin censor in quitting him as saying that "we have won the war, we are German," whereas he had said, "we have grievances against Germany."
"The war was fought to end 'war'," remarked Mr. Jones, "but school books even now exalt military heroes instand of those who seek peace, good will, and human rights. La Follette voted against war, but once we became involved, he voted for every war, as long as it was unscandalized and abused because he assaulted graft during the war, but he would not be silent."
"Society One Big Chain"
Society big Chain
In conclusion, Mr. Jones said, "Society is one big chain which is as strong as the weakest link. The common people are links in this chain, the white system of society crumbles. In La Follette's name will be linked up in history with that of Lincoln. The one can manipulate the negro in 1863, the other, the white man in 1924."
There were two other speakers, Glen Willett and W. A. Winnaus. Mr. Willett surveyed briefly the progress of the La Folette campaign in Kansas. The chief point in Mr. Winnaus' talk was that the present government is not 'one of the people and places we live in' but an oligarchy which controls the political and economic life of the country."
This was the last meeting of the La Follette club before elections. The members decided that they would not disband after the campaign, but that they would continue as a liberal political club to discuss various questions with regard to progressivism in government.
