There is Something Rotten In
These Figures.

The public will remember that
when the press reports of the late
election were stating that McKln-
ley had swept all the doubtful CEN
trail western States by big majori-
ties, that Chairman Butler would
not concede McKinley's election
even after other campaign mana
gers had given up. He stated that
he had reliable information show
ing that Bryan had made gains in
States like Indiana, Ohio, Iowa,
Minnesota, California and other
States big enough to give him the
electoral votes of these States by
good majorities. Even when the
State chairman in these States con-
ceded that Mckinley had carried
them Chairman Butler said that he
could not understand it and insist
ed that there was something wrong.
The official count of the vote in
these Sta tes is now coming out and
they throw much light on the mat
ter. The vote tabulated in Ohio,
Iowa, Minnesota and Indiana show
that there is something not only
wrong but very rotten.
In Indiana the following are the
complete figures as taken from the
official returns
Democratic and Peoples, $685.
425; Republican, 1923, 1923: Prohibi-
zionist, 3,O56; Gold Standard,
2,146; National, 2,26S; Socialist
Labor, 1923. McKinley's plurali-
ty, Is, ,4O3; McKinley's majority,
9,610. Total vote cast, 637, ,O46.
In 1892 the same totals showed
the following vote: Democratic,
262, 740; Republican, 255, ,615; Pro-
hibitlonist, 13,050; Populist, 22,-
900. Total vote, $50, ,713.
This shows an increase of 49,
433 votes since the last Presiden-
tial election. This is an unreason-
able increase, when we consider
that the last Republican candidate
was Mr.. Harrison and that be lives
in Indiana. 1t was claimed in 1892
that Harrison brought out a re-
markably full vote. Therefore
there was little stay at home vote
to swell this tremendous increased
vote. The increased vote would
indicate that the population of that
State bad increased a half million
since the last election, and this is
unreasonable. Another thing that
proves that this increased vote is
not straight is that nearly the
whole of it is counted for McKin-
ley. Just think of it, Bryan this
year got 200 more votes in In
diana than Harrison got in 1892.
Now a man who could gain 1000
of the votes that we're cast for
Harrison in 1892, would certainly
get at least half of the increased
vote if it was not bogus. 1t is
clear that the gold ring bought up
election officers and stuffed the bal
lot boxes or made this increase in
some other unlawful way and count
ed it all for Mckinley.
Now let us look ut Ohio. That

AS indicated in the letter OF

We present our readers this
week with an interesting article
from Senator Buffers paper, show
ing how Mckinley was elected.
Senator Allen, Populist, of Nebras-
ka, has introduced a resolution in
the U. 8. Senate this week calling
for an investigation of the election
in those doubtful States, which
will be supported by all the Popu-
lists and Democrats in the Senate,
and win pass, but it has no chance
to pass the House, which is Re-
publican,
1t serves the Democrats right to
be thus out-counted, for they have
lived by ballot box stufing for 10,
these many years. They can now
perhaps realize what an enormous
crime it is, and join with all good
people in an effort to put it down.

taken aback by his nerve He was equal
