good evidence that Mr.. Lynch knows

The game throughout was snappy

on each side was responsible for run.
The visitors were the first to draw

REGISTRATION LAW IS
COSTLY FOR LAKE CO.

, Whether this will prevent many vot-
ers from registering is a question that
no one can determine in advance, but
ii is one that is causing a great deal
of anxiety to both party organiza tions.
Under the new corrupt practices act
party organizations and candidates are
not permitted to spend any money to
bring absent voters home to vote or to
register. If the absent voter comes
back to register and to vote he must
do at his own expense. and 1t is be-
lieved that comparatively few of them
viii 10 this.
Under the old election system a par
ty organization, county or state COM
mittee could supply money to pay the
car fare and other expenses of absent
voters in order to get them home on
election da to vote. This has always
been regarded as one of the legitimate
methods of spending campaign money.
But this cannot. be done under the new
laws. Under the old system the or
ganizatfons would have been called
upon to spend double the amount of
money in order to get the absent ones
home for registration and also again
for voting, and this would have run
the expense up to an enormous figure.
| because there is not county in the
| state in which the absent voter prob
| lem has not been big one to handle.
It is believed that this difficulty will
| affect both parties about equally, for
| that has been the experience in the
past.
From the best estimates that have
been made by the state committees of
! the two political parties, the registra-
| ton of voters will cost average OF
about 800 a precinct. This will cover
| all three of the sessions, in May. Sep
| TENDER and october. Two years ago
there were 3.t36 precincts in the state
| and this year there will probably be
| 1900. This means that the registra-
| ton of voters will cost not less thar
| $500, 900 for the entire state. Each
| county will have to pay the cost oil
] registration itself. For instance. AL
len county has So precincts, which viii
cost about 5000; st. Joseph county IS
will cost $500; Huntington county
/ 10. will cost about $4,000. Elkhart so
viii cost about $4,000, Lake county "a
will cost about $500; Laporte count,
IS, will cost about $500.

TIMES BUREAU,
At STATE CAPITAL.

indianapolis, Ind, April 22.-The on
~ way a man in Indiana can vote at
the election next fall will be for him
to register voter at one OF the
registration times this year. And the
only way he can register is by being
personally present at the session of the
registration board This has been
found to be the case under the registra-
ton law by Henry Warren and Will
liam II. Thompson. the two lawyers Sc
lected by republican state chairman
Sims and democratic state chairman
Korbly to make an analysis of the law
for the guidance of all parties in the
registration of voters.
This leaves it impossible for an abb
sent voter to make his Registration.
When the party managers read the
law and began making a study of it
they found that it was lame in many
ways, and that there were points left
uncovered that were likely to cause
embarrassment to many voters. One
| of the most fragrant oversights, how
ever, was the fact that no provision
was made by which a man who was
unavoidably absent at all three of the
| registration times could qualify as a
voter at the fall election The consti-
/ tuition gives every man the right to
vote under certain restrictions and it
lays down the qualifications of voters
/ The constitution contemplates regis
tration of voters, because it refers to
| the subject in defining the qualifica
/ lions of voters
/ 1t was thought, however, that some
/ way could be found by which this pro.
| vision might lie met in the case of ar
absent voter who was unable to reach
1 the registration place at the proper
| time 20 register as a voter, and this
/ was one of the matters that was con
| sidered by Thompson and Warren
They found, however. that there i:
| nothing in the new law that can be-
| construed as making any exception ii
the case of a man who is absent ant
unable to register. The law says plain
" that no man shall be permitted t.
1 vote who has not registered, and tina
| the applicant to register must presen
1 his application to the registration
board in person.

BOULEVARD

River Would Connect the
Ridge Road With New

Petitions are being prepared for cir

the county commissioners to extend
Clarke road across the Little Calumet
river. It ends now at Twenty fifth
avenue and by carrying it across the
marsh. making 1t parallel with the
Black Oak road. ii Will be connected
up with the cross-county thoroughfare.
Ridge road. This would also necessi-
tate a new bridge across the Little
Calumet at a point three miles west OF
the one Broadway.
Would Complete Boulevard Link.
If the commissioners act on this pc
tition Lake county will then have a
boulevard system of gravel and ma
cadam roads twenty-five miles in
length skirting the city OF Gary and
tapping all of its suburbs.
The plan is being fathered by 7. w
Englehart. the Ridge road booster
who started it several months ago. but
who had to drop it for the time being
These are the roads that would be
included in the twenty ive-mile sys-
TEN:
Firth avenue-From Aetna to Clarke
road. (The Ambridge-Clarke extension
is now being built.)
Clark road-F'rom Fifth avenue tic
Twenty avenue; new road exten-

where the east end of Fifth avenue
terminates.

Thus by building a new bridge and
a mile and one-half of gravel road g
