The New York Times filed a Labor Day briefing as union halls ran picnics. [1] Both used the same Monday. Both were copy, not ballots. Print the split. Do not print November.

The press is the record of the split. It is not the split's referee. Position 29 already named the stump. This page is the briefing against the hall, not a second rally. Leave a named midterm table to November. Print the briefing. Print not a vote.

Print the split. Monday is not a midterm result. A holiday briefing is still a briefing. Print the split as Monday's named press hold. Union-hall copy is still not a ballot. Print the briefing as still not November. Print the split as still two kinds of Monday paper. Print copy as still not a result. Print the holiday as still the named split.

Two kinds of Monday paper: the briefing that informs, the hall that rallies. Readers need both to see the split. November needs more than either.

Two kinds of Monday paper still aren't a result; the holiday is the split. Copy is not November. Ballots wait.

The Times briefing and the union picnic shared a calendar and not a ballot. Position 29 already named the stump; this page is the split. Readers can keep both files without calling either November. Nobody has counted votes in this holiday copy.

Position 29 already named the stump. Monday's press split is not a November count. Monday's holiday copy counted no votes.
