DOUBT AS TO SUPPORT OF
COX AND HIS PROGRAM.
|OWANS IN WASHINGTON
INSTRUCTED HOW TO VOTE
Easy to Cast Absent Votes Ballots
Under New Law Blank Applica-
tons Easily Procured-Leasue Ad-
voeacy of Cox to Aid cummins in
His Senatorial Election.
rBy e. 6. Dougherty.1

Washington, Oct. e0.-Iowans liv-
ing temporarily in Washington were
told Saturday night by Congressman
L. j. Dickinson, OF the Tenth Iowa
district, just how they must proceed
to vote in the Hawkeye state cleo
tons November ? by mail. Mr.. Dick
inson was the chief speaker before
the Iowa Society in Wilson Normal
School. He gave explicit instructions
to all Iowans who are here how to
proceed in voting. by mail, pointing
out the necessary prerequisite being
to apply on special form applications
to the county auditor of the county
in the state from which they como
for the regulation official ballot,
which in turn can be sent back to the
auditor after once filled out.
Blank applications. Mr.. Dickinson
said. are available at the offices Of
all the Iowa members in congress.
and at the offices of the republican
and democratic national committees.
The prospective voter is required to
make affidavit that he is resident
of Iowa, under the absent voters law.
and is required to swear before a
notary that the ballot sent him has
been personally executed.
Following Congressman Dickinson's
instructive talk the members of the
Iowa Young Peoples Club, an adjunct
to the Iowa Society, held dance.
w. G. Ladd. president of the Iowa
Society, presided, and H. E. Morri-
son, who is secretary to Judge Horace
G. Towner, representing the Eighth
Iowa district Tn congress, was secre-
tary OF the meeting.
Unusual interest is being manifest
in the campaign this year by Iowans
who are now resident in Washington
because of the dual fact that 1t is
presidential year and because of the
fight in the state over the reelection
of Senator Cummins. Among the
Iowans here now are numerous dem
ocrats. who are outspokenly for the
league of nations. and who are be-
tween two fires as to the final de-
termination or how to vote. Some

Connection With Death of Parent,
Whose Charred Body Was Found
in Ruins Of Farm Home-Faiied to

Estherville Oct 20.-The people or
Ringsted and community have been
greatly excited over the Griffin
tragedy of Wednesday morning, Oct.
Is. At o'clock the Griffin home was
found to he In flames. The neighbours
rushed to the scene. but were too late
to save the house. II was in ruins.
! The charred body of man was
found in the ruins of the cellar. His
head was crushed. blood was clotted
inside of face and a discharged gun
was by his side. The floor was on
top of the body, proof that he was
in the basement before the fire,
rather than he fell thru the floor with
the ruins. He was fully dressed
which proves that the fire did not
catch him in bed. He was a man 65
years old and not popular In the
neishborhood.
His son Grant Griffin is now held
at the county Jail at Estherviile
charged with the murder of his
father. The son was seen around the
home of the murdered man for two
weeks previous to the tragedy. but
he was not in company with his
father. On the eve of the killing
neighbors saw a stranger drive the
son to the home OF the father. He
was not seen to leave the place, but
when the neighbors were at the fire
few hours later the son was gone.

The son is the same Griffin who
has had trouble with his family in
Illinois.
He attempted to kidnap his wife
and children several months ago. His
wife Is now suing for divorce. az. 1t
is thought that the visit of the son
to his father on the exc of the MUIR
der was to secure money for alimony
or court expenses.
A day or two before his death the
elder Griffin took from the bank
all his valuable papers. saying that
he wished to take them home and
look them over and see just what he
had. His motive for this is unac-
counted for.

funeral and this, with the above evil

being made for further information to

The prisoner refused to talk fol-

scrapes and plea OF insanity might
be made in his behalf. After the
tragedy corners inquest was held
and it was decided that the man came
