ready with an army of 50,000 mo
bilized to handle the event for The
Banner-Herald and more than 1,360
other Asseociated :ress member

The regular Associated Press
staff in 90 domestic bureaus has
been augmented by thousands of
reliable and experienced corres
pondents, telephone and telegraph
operations, tabulators and mes
sengers.
Special election wires supple-~
ment the regular AP 280,000 mile
leased wire network. The center
of fhis vast election ~overage set
up is in Washington where Byron
Price, chief of bureau, and a staff
of political experts will record an
