NUMBER OF VOT-
Frs in THE STATE
BELIEVED THAT ABOUT
1884 VOTES WILL BE
CAST THIS YEAR
ARE SIXTEEN
MORE PRE-
CINCTS.

1T IS estimated that 719,3S4
votes will be cast in Indiana at
the coming election. The total
vote as estimated before the cleo
ton two years ago was 1914.
The total vote for secretary of
state in 1906 was 5s9,2i4. To gain
10000 votes the Democrats would
have to gain an average OF II Ills
votes to the precinct, as there
are now $3.50 precincts in the
state. To gain $4,000 the Repub,
leans will have to gain 10 2-3
votes to the precinct. There are
many conditions to take into ac-
count that will affect the vote.
There has been an exodus of for
eigners from the state, several
thousand having returned home.
There has been substantial in
crease IN the first voters. The
number of precincts in several
counties of the state have been re-
duced through the use of voting
machines. Voting machines will
be used in Indiana to a greater
extent than ever before. and their
operation will affect the result.
The first ballots are now being
printed. The state will have l.
100000 printed and distributed
the latter part of next week.
There are sixteen more pre-
cincts in the state this year than
there were two years ago, the to-
tai number reported this year be-
ing $3.50. In a number of coun-
ties. where voting machines are
used. The number of precincts has
been decreased, but in some of
the northern counties of the state,
particularly Lake county, there
has been a decided increase in the
population and hence a necessity
for additional precincts.
The total number Of ballots to
be sent out this year is 1,16O, 900.
This is a smaller number than
was sent out two years ago, the
decrease being due to a change in
the law. Formerly ten ballots
were sent out for each five votes
and fraction thereof. AT present
the number of ballots sent out is
a number % per cent larger than
the number of votes to be cast.
and in addition to this, 1000 re-
serve ballots for each county.

ID. F. Kennedy of indianapolis,

labor men in Indiana and former
president of the Indiana Fedora

it surrendered to the domination
of the brewers.
Mr.. Kennedy attended the re-

was done to the cause of labor by
the injection of partisan and

LESS WHEAT SOWN.
Marked Decrease in Acreage Due
to Prolonged Drought.

Reports from all over Indiana
shows a decrease in the wheat
acreage this fall owing to the
drought and inability of farmers
to cultivate their land. Flowing
was difficult or impracticable be-
cause the ground was baked. Ger
tain soils turned into dust when
touched by the plowshare, and
others broke up in huge clods that
required labor and time to pulver-
ize. When wheat was put in the
dry dust it often failed to germin-
ate, and when it did send
up sprouts the shoots languished
for lack of moisture.

That the brewers will make a
tremendous effort to secure the
repeal of the county local option
law if the Democrats should carry

HANLY CHALEN-
CES MARSHALL
GIVES DEMOCRATIC CAN
DIDATE TEN DAYS TO
STATE POSITION ON
COUNTY LOCAL
OPTION
LAW.

Addressing a large audience at
Charlottesville Monday night,
Gov. Hanly issued ringing chal-
lenge to Thomas Marshall, Dem
ocratic candidate for governor.
Mr.. Marshall has repeatedly said,
when pressed by James E. Wat
son, the Republican nominee, Tor
an answer as to whether he
would or would not sign county
local option bill, that he would not
promise to sign or veto any meas
IRE until he had read it.
Writing to the Indianapolis
Star, Louis Ludlow says Gov.
Hanly decided this was bluff
and made up his mind to call 1t"
He brought to Charlottesville a
dill which he prepared before
.eaving indianapolis. 1t was bill
10 repeal the county local option
law passed at the recent special
session OF the legislature. The
governor had drafted it with pains
-aking care SO that it answered all
the constitutional requirements
and was without flaws SO far as
.egal verbiage was concerned.
The governor read this bill and
then challenged Mr.. Marshall TO
say whether or not he would sign
t if the Legislature would pass it
md put it up to him.
Governor Hanly in issuing the
,hallenge said:
1.-Two candidates for governor
have gone out among the people
of Indiana this year. One of them,
James +. Watson, is ripe in ex-
perience, learned in governmental
affairs and has a conscience and
purpose to keep the platform
pledges of his party. The other,
Thomas r. Marshall, has declined
again and again and again to say
what he would do if bill repeal
ing the county local option law
were passed and presented to him
for action. Again and again he
has hidden behind the subterfugc
that he would not sign any bilt
until he had seen it and read it.
Think of it, my friends, here
is aman asking your votes for
the highest office within your gift
who positively declines to take
you into his confidence and tell
you what his policy would be
with reference to the greatest is
sue of the campaign.
It is due TO you that he should
explain his position now. If you
permit him to wait until after the
election his explanation may come
too late. have hit upon a plan,
continued the governor, "by which
| can afford him an opportunity
to see a bill in which the people
OF Indiana will be profoundly in
terested. | want him to read it
and then / want him to take ten
days to consider it. AT the end
of the ten days | want him to say,
as an honest man, worthy of the
suffrage of free people, will he
sign it or will he veto it? 1t is
such brief bill that he ought to
make up his mind in less than ten
days.
Il want him to say" continued
the governor, with Increasing
warmth, what he would do with
that particular bill if it should
pass the legislature and come to
his desk for action. Would he
sign it or would he veto it? Let
him say yes or no. Let him no
longer hide behind the subterfuge
of coward"

The Mellow DAYS are Here.

Autumn is here. The annual
change from life to death, from
grandeur to decay, is giving
premonitions of its advance. The
sunshine takes a mellower tinge
and there is shadow of depart
ing glory in its golden CLEANS
among the lengthening shadows
of the trees. The freshness of
of spring gave way to the bloom
of summer, and now that bloom
is passing into the maturity of
autumn. The summer harvesting
is over, but the later fruit is just
to be gathered. bringing the final
reward for labor to the husband
man. The days have shortened
and nights heightened until the
periods of dark and daylight are
divided.

and white at 80 cents. Later the
red were quoted at 35 cents, the
yellow at SO cents,while the white
have remained at about the same
price, so cents.

WEATHER STUDY
IS IMPORTANT
FORECASTER B ELIEV E S
SUBJECT SHOULD BE
TAKEN UP IN SCHOOL
WOULD STIMU-
LATE NATURE
STUDY.

A plea Tor the study OF weather
in the common schools is con-
tanned in communication just
received by Fassett \. Cotton,
state superintendent OF public in
struction. 1t was written by John
r. Weeks, local forecaster al
Binghampton, n. Y. Mr.. Weeks
makes statement that, during the
school year. more than a million
pupils OF the public schools make
weather observations and study
the daily weather maps and fore
casts. The weather bureau and
the SCHOOLS have co-operated to
great advantage, 1t is stated. The
school authorities have found in
the study of the weather, with the
assistance OF the weather bureau.
a means OF satisfying part. OF the
requirements OF modern methods
OF study, and the weather bureau
is able, through the schools, it is
explained, gradually to dispel
popular superstitions and falla-
cious beliefs that have hampered
its work.
The declared advantage OF
studying weather conditions lies
in the cultivation TO a high de-
gree OF perfection OF the powers
OF observation and creative mag
nation. By this means OF study
the laboratory system which, a
few years ago was in vogue only
in the higher schools, is now car
ried down to the primary grades.
The boys and girls also are
brought to a more practical
knowledge of the natural condi-
tions surrounding them and gov
erning their lives, and those that
do not enter the high school are
not entirely cut off from a study
OF nature.
To illustrate the need for such
study Mr.. Weeks quotes as fol-
lows from Prof. Huxley: Sup
pose it~Were perfectly certain that
the life and fortune of every one
OF us would, one day or other, de-
pend upon the winning of losing
OF game of chess. Don't you
think we should all consider it to
be a primary duty to learn at least
the names and moves of the
pieces; to have notion of a gam
bit, and a keen eye for all the
means of giving and getting out
OF checks? Do you not think we
should look with disapprobation,
amounting to scorn, upon the
father who allowed his son, or
the state which allowed its men,
bers, to grow up without know
ing pawn from knight?
Yet 1t is very plain and e1e-
mefitary truth that the life, for
tune and happiness OF every one
OF us, and more or less of those
who are connected with us, do de-
pend upon our knowing some
thing of the rules of game infn-
ftely more difficult and compli-
Gated than chess. 1t is a game
that has been played for untold
ages, every man and every WON
an OF us being one of two players
in a game of his or her own. The
chessboard is the world. the
pieces are the phenomena OF the
universe; the rules OF the game
are what we call the laws of nat
ure." =
Mich. has been said in recent
years" continues the writer, par
ticularly in eastern states, about
abandoned farms and the migra-
ton of the country youth to the
cities. 1T is believed by many edu-
Gators that this introduction of
nature study throughout tne
school course, in country as we'll
as city, will stimulate a love of
nature which will help to counter
act his unfortunate tendency"
