INDEX sHUFFLED.
Chairman Hitchcock's System Gone
Wrong Has Voters Mixed.

Boston, Sept. 29.--chairman Hitch.
cocks 5000 900 card index of voters
seems to have gone awry, Anyway,
something has happened to mis- lists for
New England, and as a result hundreds
II not thousands OF good Democrats in
Maine and Connecticut are getting per.
sonal appeals in the shape of circular
letters from the executive committee
asking them "as good Republicans 10
ante up their little donation to the
good cause.
The letters started to come into the
state Democratic headquarters about a
week ago. At first the Democratic
leaders thought there had been a little
slip-up that did not amount TO much,
hut today il was announced that nearly
a thousand letters Of this kind already
had been forwarded to the Massa-
chusetts, Vermont and Maine leaders
by good Republicans" who happened
to be Democrats.
The general impression is that some
Of Mr. Hitcheock's lieutenants in New
England have been stringing him in
good shape. although the indignant Re-
publican leaders point out that ii would
be just the kind Of a trick that the
"rascally Democrats would pull off.
Mr.. Hitchcock's plan was to have
every voter catalogued, the Republican
sheep in one box, the Democratic goats
in another and the Independence league
lambs in another. with the Prohibition,
ISIS, Socialists and Populists in flock
by themselves.
II would be an easy matter for any
one to shift these indexes, which have
been1 made by county leaders, the Re.
publictps point out, and the net result
would be that all Republicans would
90 down as Democrats and all Demo
Gratis as Republicans. That something
like this has happened appears prob
able by the way the letters are mixed.
