Possible That Indiana s State
Primary WMCost 100000 to
Hold In Ninety Two Counties

INDIANAPOLIS, March 3.-That the
state wide primary, to be held in In
diana March 7th is going to be an
expensive proposition both to tax
payers and candidates Off Office is the
opinion of political leaders of all par
ties. There is much speculation as to
what it will cost the state and these
estimates vary, but no estimate has
been lower than an average of $4,000
county. The lowest estimate, there
fore, is $460,0OO Off the 80 counties OF
the state. Some politicians think the
cost will rum to 100000.
Marion county, in which Indinanap-
oils is situated, has already appropri-
ated $4,000 to pay the expenses OF
the primary. Some county officials
say this will not be enough. Some OF
the smaller counties may not have to
spend, it is estimated, more than 49,
900. But the larger counties, like
Lake, Vigo, st. Joseph, Allen, and

Woman Invasion.
Of Astronomy

LONDON, March Astronomy is
the latest field of human endeavor to
be invaded by women. AS career for
women it recently received impetus
when the Royal Astronomical Society
obtained supplementary charter from
the Crown in order to admit women
members as fellows of the society.
Five women were admitted to member
ship and that many more will presum-
ably become fellows after the March
meeting.

Stealing Family
Trunk Is Charge

ATLANTA, Ga, March al. NJ.
Cowart, whose pretty wife got tired OF
him and ran away, leaving a note, like
that Of Bryan to Wilson, saying
Goodbye and God bless you," or words
to that effect, the husband used an
unique method of stopping her. He
had her arrested at Pittsburg on the
charge of stealing the family trunk.

Hit Candidates Hard.


That the primary is hitting the can
didates hard there is no question.
Practically all of the political leaders
saw that there was never and candi-
date who made a canvass for an Office,
ito be nominated at convention, that
ever spent any ways near what the
primary is costing The greatest item
Of expense, in the primary, is for
newspaper advertising. The candi-
dates are using this method of ap-
pealing to the voter, more than ever
before.
Because of the lack of contest, the
Democratic candidates for the higher
offices have not been called to spend
lareg amounts. The Progressive can
didates are spending practically moth
ing. 1t is the Republicans who are
making the strenuous campaign.
Republican candidates for United
States senator and governor, and
there are three each for these offices
are making their great appeal to the
voters by displaying their photographs
with reading matter in the newspa-
pers. The increase in the use of this
sort of advertising has been marked
Most of the advertisements are two
| columns wide and ten inches or twenty
inches long. There are about 100 reg
ular Republican newspapers in the
state and about forty others carrying
this advertising. One insertion of the
usual 20 inch add in the 200 papers
costs $1,000 at a conservative esti-
mate. Republican candidates for SEN
ator and governor have had such ad-
vcrtisements in this string of news
papers anywhere from three to doz-
en- times. The repetition, is explained
by the fact that some of the men be-
gan their active campaign last Aug.
ust while others began theirs later.

OE1 hO11Y MICH, Marcn 5.-Omc1ai
announcement recently that the De-
troit American league baseball club
will meet the New York Nationals in
exhibition gmes, at Dallas, Texas,
March rs and 26, is causing much in
terest among local fans. A diamond
duel between two famous ball players
one whom fandom, generally has
crowned King and the other who was
the champion batsman of the Federal
league-will probably take place when
the Tigers and Giants clash.
Ty Cobb, Detroit's centerfelder
who has grown to regard the premier
batting honors of the American league
as his personal property, will have his
first opportunity to match his skill
and wits with those of Benny Kauff.
The latter's great record at bat and in
the outfield Off Brooklyn, caused mum
erous baseball writer's to refer to him
as the Cobb of the Federal league"
When the independent organization
went out of existence, KaUff was pur
chased by the New York Nationals. AL
though he has had differences over
salary with Manager McGraw, it is
generally believed that Kauff will be
III the New York lineup, not only dur
ing the training season, but as a reg
ular during the 1916 campaign. Man
ager Jennings, of the Tigers, granted
Cobb permission to report at the Wax
ahachie, Tex, training camp this
spring, whenever he felt like it. 1t
seems certain that Cobb will not do
much spring training as he has said
that such conditioning weakens him
during the crucial autumn games but
some of Cobbs closest friends, who
live in Detroit, asert that he will be
in that Dallas series, if he has to walk
from Georgia.
Stories in Tiger Camp.
Kauff has never played in Detroit
but numerous stories have come to the
Tiger camp concerning his ability.
Former Detroit stars, who were with
Federal league clubs last season,
have generally declared that Kauff is
one of the greatest batters they have
ever seen. They have not been in
clined to class Kauff with Cobb as
base runner; they have said that
Cobb probably" a bit more danger
out at bat, because of his versatility
but they all, seemingly, have ready to
take issue with any declaration that
Kauf is not the greatest batsman in
the game.
Local writer's and followers of the
Detroit team, who have regularly
watched Cobb in action, have pointed
out that his greatest feats have been
achieved against clubs or individual
players Of championship calfbre. A
few Of these, which have helped make
baseball history, follow:
