DEMOCRATIC VOTE
is ACCOUNTED FOR
Reginald Sullivan Says G. o. p,
Is in Shadow.

1.-THE poll books show that the Demo-
cratic vote is registered and am CON
fident that we have a larger registration
than the Republican organization in
Marion County" said Reginald Sullivan,
chairman Of the Democratic county com
mittee toddy.
'"rhe Democrats made a special effort
to register the women and / feel sure
the fact that the Republicans fell down
on the registration of women accounts
for the low registration of votes in the
county.
''1t certainly is not because the Demo
Gratis have not registered their votes"
Mr.. Sullivan said the Democratic vote
south of the elevated tracks is fully reg
istered.
In this district and In the business
district-of the city there are practically
10 women to be registered, and here the
Democrats scored heavily he said.
The womens Democratic organization
directed their efforts from the first reg
istration day to Oct. 4, In an NSttempt to
obtain 100 per cent registration of wom-
en-, and their efforts we're rewarded with
success, according to the poll and sregis-
tration books.
No concentrated effort was made by
the Republican women's organization to
get out their vote, he said, and .conse-
quently the registration returns snow O
light woman's turnout.
The greater percentage of the womens
registration is that of Democratic worn-
en-, he declared.

Already agog with excitement over the

The fact that the Indians have come

prcyed more than a match for them, de-
tracted nothing from the interest Of For

The reserved seat sale for all four

MORAY COPS
COUNTY'S RED
CROSS CREDIT
Sends Personal Check for
Funds Collected and ~
Thwarts Accounting.
By STAFF CorresponiIent.

BROOK, Ind, Oct S-As a result OF
the refusal Of Warren T. McCray, Re-
publican candidate for Governor, to CO.
operate with the Newton County chapter
Of the American Red Cross, OF which he
was vice president, the books of that
chapter have never been audited, the
financial affairs are still in a chaotic con-
dttion and there is a tremendous amount
Of dissatisfaction among the members Of
the organization.
The inability of the chapter to fur
nish a statement to the national orgseni-
zation has been q matter for considera-
ton by the director Of the district and
the present secretary has been assured
that a special audit viii be undertaken
with a view to obtaining a definite knowl-
edge Of the collection and disposition OF
the funds which were collected and trans
mitted under the direction Of Mr. Nc
Cray.
The Newton chapter raised approxi-
mateIy 81 400 to meet its quota Of $4,000
for the first Red Cross drive Of the war.
The chapter was never officially ac-
credited with 3 cent Of this money.
It has no record Of having raised Il o.
Of having II contributed to the national
This lack of definite record Of this
sum IS laid directly TO Mr.. MeCray's
action IN refusing to recognise thSt he
had any obligation to report on the dis
position of this fund
Let It be said in the beginning that
no one connected with the chapter ac-
cuses Mr.. MeCray Of misusing dollar
Of the Red Cross funds.
Every member is satisfied that Mr..
McCray collected this money and paid
it over TO the proper treasures by his
personal checks.
Right there is where the only criticism
arises.
Members OF the chapter who contrib
uted declare that Mr.. McCray insisted on
taking advantage of the Hberality OF his
Newton County neighbors to gain for
himself credit for contributing all the
money that was raised in the Red Cross
drive and they say that even today there
is no record that any one in Newton
County, except Mr. McCray, ever gave a
dollar to this quota.
The Newton County chapter of the
American Red Cross was organized at
Kentland May 10, 1917.
It held a meeting at Brook June Il.
1917. at which an executive committee,
which Included McCray was authorized
to "plan its own campaign and select
its own helpers" TO raise the 5000 quota
assigned to the chapter.
Approximately S7,400 was raised and
the funds collected by Warren T. Nc
Cray.
