Republican Fraud Contemplated.

Ben Johnson. chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Campaign Committee, is
advised from several parts of the State
that it is the intention of the Republi-
cans, In filing out the blank in the back
of poll-books, to insert a figure in
front of the Taft vote wherever his
vote in any precinct is less than one
hundred. For instance: Take a pre-
clnct where the Democratic electors
receive l0l votes, and the Republican
electors receive so votes, the figurel is
put in front of the so, to make it read
$50. Then the election Commissioners
will issue the certificates on the face
of the returns, and contest will be
necessary TO show the correct vote.
This fraud is contemplated to be
worked in all the close Congressional
districts, and then the contest would
have to go before Congress. All
Democratic election officers should
have the blank in the back of the stub
book written out in letters instead of
In tlgures. Then the change cannot be
made after the stub-books ale FLED in
the office of the County Court. The
certificates retained by the election
officers should also De written out at
length instead of in numerals.

Vote for the School Bond ISIS ue

Fifteen thousand dollars are needed

jOrity OF the legal voters Of the city of
Paris will be required before the Council
can issue the bonds. Let every voter
within the city, regardless of political
utilization go 10 the polls today and vote

vance the facilities for the education of
the children.
