Kew win Women In Illinois Vote?

The old politicians In Illinois who
have plumed themselves upon know
Ing approximately what the pnrty
vete was going to he in any precinct
or district with which they were fn-
miliar must now be worrying about
the problem Of how the registered
women will vote for President IN No
vember I. Their number is estimated
1T half Il million.
President ROOSEVELT received Il plu-
rality Of 3O5,O39 In Illinois In 1904. and
Ifr. TAFT carried the State by l70,-
Ia four years later. In 1912 the sum
Of the votes cast for President TAFT
and Colonel ROOSEVELT was 84O,O9l,
but Mr.. WILSON, who received 1850
votes. had a plurality Of 1850, which
was his lead over Colonel R~OOsEvELT's
total of 3S6,47s. In the same year
Judge DUNSE, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor, was elected by a
plurality of 124,65l, the Republican
ami Progressive candidates running
almost neck and neck.
Two years later. In 1911, when
there was an election for United
States Senator. the P~rogressives were
still to be reckOned with. They pOlled
203,O 0 votes for their candidate. RAY.
NOND ROBINS. II was about 30 per
cent. of the vote east for Colonel
ROOSEVELT In 1912. LAWRENCE Y,
SHERMAN, the Republican candidate
for Senator, was elected by II plu'
rality Of 1888. Mr.. RoRINs is nov

Fiscal Appropria

The appropriation bill covers those
items which represent the general
maintenance charges of the State for
personal service, supplies and upkeep.
Special bills are for the elements of
expenditure Of a permanent character
as differentiated from maintenance. ex-
cept permanent Improvements. such as
tho barge canal and its terminals. the
original laying OF highways and the
Palisades Interstate Park and Sara
toys Springs Reservation work. all Of
which are paid for from bond sales
authorized by the people.
The supply bill il in reality IA dcfici-
cncy bill. Ii makes provision for de-
ficiencies In prior appropriation bills
and also for those items which are OF
an urgent character. and for which
funds will have to be made available
Immediately.
The Sinking Fund appropriations
are for the purpose of providing the
necessary moneys with which to pay
the interest upon outstanding bonds
and the annual deposits or amortiza =
ton charges. which properly invested
will produce a sufficient accumulation
10 pay of at maturity the principal Of
the outstan ding bonds.
In considering the responsibility Of
the Governor and the Legislature for
State outlay II should lie clearly
understood that the appropriations for
the Sinking Funds are made In ac-
cordsncc with constitutional mandate,
and for that mandate the people them
selves are solely responsible. Conse-
quently. as the output of bonds for the
barge canal, terminals and highways
increases the annual budget will in
crease. as continually enhancing sums
must he provided for the interest and
amortization charges.
If We consider the appropriations for
which the Governor and Legislature
are primarily responsible Cthe Sink
