Strongly Reinforced by
New Troops.
[BY LEASED WIRE.1

PARIS, Oct. 3.-The flanking move
ment Of the allies against the right
wing of the German army in France
has met strong and unexpected OBJ
stacle in a heavy force of Germans
who have apparently swept down from
southern Belgium, and hard fighting is
in progress between the French and
the invaders around Douwa, fifteen
miles northeast of Arras.
The repulse of the army under the
German crown prince is announced in
an official statement issued here at
3 O'Clock this afternoon. 1t also states
that all the German attacks in the
vicinity of Roye have been repulsed
and that the French forces are making
slow but steady progress in the Woe
vre region. The official communique
follows:
"On our left wing the violent engage
ment raging since yesterday continues
particularly in the region of Roye,
where we have repulsed all attacks,
and all along that part of the front the
enemy has been reinforced by new
troops drawn from the center of the
line.
"At the center there is nothing to re-
port from Rheims to the Argonne. In
the Argonne the Sixteenth German
corps, the army of the crown prince,
which tried to slip by the forest of
Grurie, has been repulsed at the north

BELIEVE TRUST
BACKS BALLOT
BOX INCREASE
Commissioners Receive Or
der From State Board Re-
quiring 1913 Additional for
Wayne County.
With Six Ballots and Extra
Boxes Officials Fear AWk-
ward Complications in Fall
Election.

Is there a ballot box trust operating
under the Democratic regime in In
diana?
The county commissioners believe
their is conspiracy in the state to
hold up the counties on ballot boxes
and paint. Today letter was receiv-
ed from the state board of election
commissioners which requests that the
county provide five ballot boxes for
every precinct and an extra one where
outside questions are involved.
There are sixtyfour precincts in the
county and three ballot boxes for each.
making total of 1872 available. Under
the state election commissioners re-
quest 1913 additional boxes will be re-
quired to fill the normal deamnd. With
subsidy election in Wayne and Bos-
be required, making total of 356 bal
lot boxes, or 164 more than have ever
been used.
The commissioners claim there is an
election ballot box manufacturing COM
pany allied with a paint company,
which is behind the request.
The letter from the election COM
missioners demands the following:
For state ballots, red boxes; for
county or local ballots, white boxes; /;
for township ballots, yellow boxes; for
centennial celebration ballots, blue
boxes, for constitutional convention
ballots, green boxes"
There being no more colors, the
commissioners decided that if the re-
quest is complied with, the subsidy
election ballot baxes will be painted
black
The approximate cost of the 1854 ad-
ditional ballot boxes is 81 each, or
$3.50. The cost of painting 356 ballot
boxes in six colors has not been es-
timated, but it is probable that pris-
oners will do the work to save that
much expense.
The commissioners went into ses-
sion this afternoon with the county
auditor and the county attorney to see
IL the order Of the election commits
siOners Of the state is mandatory. The
commissioners are seeking a loophole
to save the extra expense of new bal.
lot boxes.
Another objection is the confusion
the ballot boxes will cause. Private
secretaries to assist voters will be the
vogue If there are six differently hued
boxes and as many variegated bollots.
The commissioners want to stick to
the three ballot box method. They
would place in the state ballot box the
ballots for the state ticket, the CEN
tennial celebration and the constitu-
tional convention. This would elimin-
ate two extra boxes at each precinct.
The subsidy ballots they would drop
in the township boxes, as this question
is one for Wayne and Boston town
ships.
In the city Of Richmond and in
Wayne and Boston townships each
voter will be handed six ballots, mark
each one, sort them, fold them and
drop them into their respective boxes
The commissioners believe that very
little intelligent voting will be done
November 3 as result of the nu-
merOuS questions.

Paid Agent Fitzgbbons Denounces Commercial Club
and Business Men Opposing Gift Of 900 Subsidy

Statements made to a Palladium
representative by John S. Fitzgibbons,
local paid agent of E. V. Purtelle, that
President George Seidel and Secretary
Charles Jordan of the Richmond Com
mercial club, had experienced a
change of heart and were now sup

his promotion of the Richmond and
Hamilton traction line, caused these
two officials much amusement when
related to them today.
Il will repeat to you just what told
Purtelle this week. l am unalterably

by Purtelle and at the meeting of the
Commercial club directors next Mon

Members of the South Side Improve

original demand for the proposed

This action has aroused the ire of

"The money was appropriated for a
bridge to be erected south of E street,
and they can put it at l. street or any

Mrs. Stanley several times referred
to the possibilities of the proposed
constitutional convention. Some of
my good Prohibitionist friends tell me
that we don't need constitutional

tell you we must have it to do justice
to women. We must urge our friends
to work for this convention, and |
pledge our State w. T. c. U. to write

In conclusion Mrs Stanley showed
that 100000 women voted in the last

would have that power at the next
election.
Indiana women must have the vote

FRANCHISE LEAGUE
FOR CONSTITUTION
Local Organization Takes
Active Interest in Election
of Convention.

At yesterdays meeting of the Wom-
ans Franchise League the members
decided to take an active interest in
helping obtain the required majority
at the coming election for authorizing 6
the calling of a constitutional cOnven-
tion in Indiana next year.
The meeting was addressed by r
G. Leeds on "The Necessity of New
Constitution for Indiana" After
briefly dwelling on the history Of In
dianas two constitutions since it's ad-
mission as state. Mr.. Leeds dis
cussed the principal defects of the
present constitution. He declared that
the gravest defect was the one be-
hind the present agitation that is
arousing the people of the state to de-
mand new constitution, the al
most utter impossibility of amending
the present one. AS result Of this,
he stated, in it's entire life of nearly
sixty-four years amendments have on
ly been added to the constitution once,
in 1881. and then only by an illegal
and unconstitutional decision of the
supreme court Of the state.
Mr.. Leeds stated that the new con.
stitution should be possible Of amend.
ment not only by referendum by the
legislature, but by the initiative by
the people. He also said it should
contain clauses providing for the ini
tiative, referendum and recall with
which the people can permanently
eliminate vicious boss and bipartisan
control of their affairs; longer terms
higher salaries and pon-partisan elec
tions for judges for the protection OF
the judiciary and woman suffrage in
order that a large body Of citizens in
telligent and worthy enough to de
serve a voice in their affairs shall nc
longer be deprived Of their rights.

invitation to go to his rooms for the
purpose of looking over some maps
he had which showed the proposed
route of the traction line. After being
in the room about ten minutes they re-
turned to the hotel lobby and at no
time did they discuss their attitude to-
ward the Purtelle project.

dunn representative, said Mr.. Seidel

to start and keep the colony.
