PRECOCIOUS INDIANA.
Voted For President Before She Was
Admitted Into the Union.

Indiana has the unique distinction Of
having voted for president before IL
became q member Of the family Of
states. In June, 1916, Indiana adopted
state constitution, but was not ad-
mitted 10 the Union until Dec. IL. In
the meantime, on Nov. 4, the first leg
islature met at COrydon. lndianans
have been precociOus from the first.
and the members OF the legislature had
no thought of letting a little matter
like the fact that what they called the
state was not really Il state interfere

and vice president respectively AS the
indianapolis News. which tells the
story, puts 1t, Indiana politicians want.
cd to get in on the ground floor
On Nov II, exactly a month before
Indiana was admitted TO the Union, the
legislature adopted a joint resolution,
That Il is expeiient to provide at this
time for tie election Of three electors
to vote for president and vice president
Of the United States Of America at the
ensuing presidential election" This
was approved by the governor, and two
days later Jesse S. Holman, General
Joseph Bartholomew and Thomas Fl.
Blake were chosen electors by the leg
islature, this being the method In all
the states at that time. While these
electors were chosen before the state
was admitted their vote was not cast
until a few days after the admission
InGiana's right to vote was disputed
when the national house and senate
met to open and count the votes but
the new state finally won the decision.

Chicago who inspired Longfellow to
write "Hiawatha" Mr.. Hesler was
one of the most eminent of his profes-

immediate inspiration for the poem.
In testimony Of his debt to Mr. Hesler
Longfellow sent him a bound volume

And this highly artificial product, be
cause it is art and because it is pro
duced by art, impresses us as real and
genuine where the actually real and
genuine would have filed Us only with
derislon and contempt, just as real
tears on the stage would fail TO move

kisses that are most convincing in the
way Of realism, are usually given and
received by actors and actresses whose
