BEFORE another presidential election we must
have good registry law that will put an end to
Democratic frauds.
A REMARKABLE CAMPAIGN.

This has been great campaign. Nothing
like it has been known in the history of the
country. Only two campaigns. those of 1s40
and 1860, have approached it in intensity Of
interest and enthusiasm. In 1910, owing to
slow means of communication, the enthusiasm
was localized, and no general interchange Of
sentiment, great delegations of visitors to
the candidates and monster parades and meet
ings, such as have been features ofthis cam
paign, were possible. In 1860 the growth Of
opinion was slow, and the loyal North aid
not fully awaken to the importance of elect
ing the Republican ticket until the canvass
was far advanced. This year has been re-
markable for the early msrshaling Of forces,
the earnestness of the fight and the continued
and sustained interest and enthusiasm of the
people. This interest was first manifested by
Republicans, and the fight was pushed by
them. 1t was clearly to the advantage of
the Democracy to conduct a quiet
canvass. with innocuous discussions
of unimportant topics as its chief
feature. Discussion Of the true issues was
the danger of that party, and Republicans
quickly realized the fact. The result has
been a campaign unique in character. 1t has
been an educational campaign, and in that
respect alone of inestimable value to the pub
lie. Great industrial questions, the problems
of political and social economy. which affect
every individual, but which are usually left to
college professors and to few public leaders
for consideration have been discussed in
every town, and village, and remote hamlet in
the country. Orators have made these mat
tiers the subject, the burden of their speeches;
newspapers and magazines have filled their
columns with the views of statesmen and
other high authorities; every facility for en-
tightening the public has been given, and the
absorption of the people in these questions
and their dilgent study of campaign Htera-
ture has proved conclusively their desire to be
enlightened. If any citizen Of the
United States-no the Northern States,
the South is still in darkness
has not formed an opinion upon the respect
i've merits of protective tariff and free
trade, it is because he has neglected his OPP
po.tunities. That such an educational cam
paign is possible is the glory of our Republic.
IT, as seems likely to be the case, the verdict
of the people shall be that the principles
represented by the Republican ticketare the
true ones, and that protection shall prevail, it
will be proof of the wonderful quic, pess of
the American people to comprehend great Is
sues, and of their accuracy of Judgment The
intelligence of the country will vote for Har-
rison and Morton, and the successiof that
ticket and the ability of free people, to pro-
| tect their own interests will be lesson to
foreign powers which has never been exceeded
| in force. sEso

THE OUTLOOK.

The Journal is not given much to prophe-
sying, but this morning feels warranted in
saying to its friends that it confidently be-
ieves the re suit of to-day's balloting will be
the election of Harrison and Morton.
So far as Indiana is concerned, the Journal
recognizes the desperateness of the fight. All
that malevolence, fraud and desperation could
do or suggest has been done and will be done
by the Democracy to carry the State against
General Harrison. Republicans know and
recognize the ferceness of the contest. They
have had no holiday parade and will have
herculean job to-day. Other States may
think they have had a campaign, but it has
been but as a Sunday compared with Indiana.
Despite all adverse influences. the Journal be-
lieves Indiana will give its electoral vote for
Harrison and Morton and cleo. the
Republican State ticket. We do not indulge
in any estimate of plurality. Our idea is
that no one can approximate it, except by the
merest guess; the silent aud vest-pocket vote,
which will be largely in our favor. is likely to
be something tremendous. Marion county
will go Republican, and the congressional
representation will probably be seven to six
one way or the other. We know that Thomas
E. Chandler can be elected we believe he will
be, and certainly will be if all his friends put
in the day earnestly and unremittingly for
him. Next to the election Of General Har-
rison. the best thing for indianapolis and the
Seventh congressional district, would be the
defeat of William D. Bynum.
New York will go Republican. All the in
dications are that the fraud machine
south Of Harlem river will not be
able to overcome the mighty phalanx Of
Republican votes that will come down
from the upper part Of the State.
Connecticut will 60 Republican, and the
probabilities are that New Jersey will like
wise.
Old Virginia is possible for the Republicans,
and West Virginia may be taken into the Re-
publican column. Golf will almost surely be
elected Governor.
The Pacific coast will go Republican. Ne
vada is the only State that pay be called
doubtful; but we do not believe that Mormon
ism can carry that rotten borough for Cleve
land.
As it looks to US, all the Blaine States will

probability of New Jersey, 8, and possibility

&c., This is the possibility. We may not
reach il; but what glorious victory and
grand thing it would be for the country il
such should be the verdict of to-day's bal
| loting.

SUPERVISORS AND MARsHALs.

As there will be supervisors of elections in
a great many precincts to-day, and probably
also large number of deputy marshals, it is
we'll enough to know something of their duties
and powers.
The supervisors ere appointed under United
States law and are therefore officers of the
United States to secure fair and honest
election. To this end they must see that the
national and State laws are observed and
enforced. Their proper place is inside the
polls and they are expected to supervise and
scrutinize all the proceedings, with view of
preventing trickery and fraud. They are
required to personally scrutinize, count and
canvass the ballots for Representative in Con-
gress They have authority to order arrests
without warrant for violations of the law COM
mitted in their presence. Their instructions
say: snake use of the power of arrest with
out warrant only in cases where the rightful
result of the election or full performance by
you of your duties is involved, and cannot
otherwise be secured. The United States
marshal, his deputies, and the peace officers
of the State, will aid you, and you should call
upon them to make necessary arrests."
