ADVISES
RE-D|STR|CT|NG OF
PRECINCTS IN CITY
Because of Unusually Large
Numbers in Some Districts
Many Voters Lost Fran
chise, Explains Auditor.

County Auditor l.. S. Bowman, who is
also Republican county chairman, to-
day emphasized the necessity of re
districting the voting precincts of the
county, especially the precincts in
Richmond.
He called attention to the fact that
this fact had been impressed upon the
voters at the election last Tuesday
when large number of men in var
ious parts of the city were disfran-
chised because they could not gain
entrance to the polls. AS there never
had been such condition before at
a local election number of voters ar
rived at the polls late only to find
many men lined up ahead of them,
awaiting their turns. With six bal
lots to mark and the majority of vot-
ers scratching their tickets the voting
was unusually slow and when the
time came to close the polls many
voters had failed to gain entrance to
the polls and as a result could not
participate in voting.
Asks Redistriotinq.
Mr.. Bowman says this condition OF
affairs was confined almost entirely to
the abnormally large precincts in
Richmond.
There are several precincts which
now contain more voters than the
law provides for and no time should
be lost in redistricting of all pre-
cincts,' Mr.. Bowman said. Il think
the chairman of the various political
parties should get together, outline
suggestions for the redistricting of
precincts and then petition the county
com mmiSsiOnerS to act in the matter.
This question must be acted upon by
the commissioners not later than their
January, February or March sessions
in 1916, in which year there will be
another election. Of course it will be
two years before the next election but
the time to act on this matter is the
present"
Under the law there shall be no
more than $50 voters to precinct but
this year there were registered 31O
voters in the twenty-seventh precinct.
3s7 in the twenty-fifth and 326 in an
other precinct. On the other hand
only Is voters were registered in the
third precinct Of Wayne township and
only IS in the twelfth precinct of the
city These precincts illustrate how
out of proportion many Of the precints
are now distributed.

Despite the quarantine orders af-

REPRESENT COUNTY,

Wayne county Progressives were
represented at the indianapolis meet
ing Thursday by Ebert Russell, their
candidate for congress in the recent
election, and r. G. Leeds, national
committeeman Of the party in Indiana.
Both Mr.. Russell and Mr.. Leeds de-
clared on their return to Richmond
that they were satisfied from the
spirit shown at the indianapolis meet
ing that the Progressives intended to
keep on fighting for their principles
and that there was no evidence of any
get-together sentiment for either the
Democratic or Republican organiza-
tiOns.

PROGRESSWES HOLD
COUNTY STRONGEST
FOR PARTY IN j. S.
Wayne Stands Alone in Indi-
ana for Principles-Be-
comes Champion by Virtue
of Showing Tuesday.

Wayne county has won the title Of
champion Progressive county of the
United States,
In state where the Progressives
were overwhelmed by both the Re-
publicans and Democrats Wayne was
the only county to return a plurality
for the Progressive state ticket, and
it was the only county which gave a
plurality for a Progressive candidate
for representative in congress.
There were counties in California
which went Progressive, but that
state was carried by the Progressives,
so Wayne county, holding the fort
alone for Progressive principles, local
party leaders assert, is rightfully en-
titled to its title champion Bull
Moose county of the United States"
Finds Many Moose.
A few days before the election Rep
resentative Gray toured the county
and at the conclusion of his trip, re-
marked with a smile, Il must admit
Wayne county contains more Progress
sives than any other one place in the
world"
Many political authorities assert
that Wayne county is the birthplace
Of the Progressive movement in this
country. over Ten years ago j. Is.
Gordon, editor of a Richmond news
paper declared war against James f.
Watson, at that time a member of
congress-, and boss rule of political
parties. Without interruption he
preached the doctrine Of abolition of
hide-bound partisanship, government
for and by the people and independent
voting. He routed the political bosses
tvN w tn1 hn h{cy
majority Of the voters Of the county
by his political preachings and was
largely instrumental in driving Wat
son out of public life.
When the Progressive party sprang
into being it was received with open
arms by the bulk of the Wayne county
voters. who for years had been in re-
bellion against the two old parties,
and how Loyalty they have stood by
the new party is shown by the returns
Of the election last Tuesday.

 There Is already In the United l states a bady which has some power l IT authority over the raIlrads. This v what Is known as the interstate ..mmerce commission.

Where once 1t was laughed !. by the management of the large /, aiIro,.ds 1t is now given due cOnsid- .ration whenever il begins to take rotice of the doings of the heads of the road.
 If the scope of this commission does rot alrady take in the equipment and safety appliances and signal systems oi the railroads 1t should ct once be g..en outhority over these matters nd Its power should be almost if not quite arbitrary. So far the commis- sion has been concerned principally with the pooling of railroads. with discrimination in regard to fretgh, rates and with rebates. It has had very little to do with the practical management or the running of the rnad and therefore very little to do with the protection of the human be- ir gs who are forced to ride on the poorly equipped trains and over an In, dequate rOMdbed.
 Hut the carrying of the human freight is as serious matter as the carrying of merchandise and produce and it should become the immediate pro vince of this interstate commerce commission tu take up the question f safety and the running of the pas senger trains.
