COUNTY CHAIRMEN
ASK MORE CLERKS

Paul Comstock, Republican county
chairman, and Joel Moore, Democratic
county chairman, will join in petit
tion to the Wayne county election
commissioners asking that in certain
precincts Of the county additional
clerks be appointed for the November
election.
The addition of women as voters will
bring the totals in all precincts to ap-
proximately double the former figures,
and as result there will be many pre-
cincts in which the vote will be so
heavy that one set of clerks cannot
efficiently handle it.. Under a new
law, amending the statutes governing
elections. the provision is made that
additional clerks may be appointed
and additional booths for voting pro-
vided in order to facilitate voting.
Under the present law there can be
but three voting booths to a precinct.
Under the amended law in precincts
where the vote is large enough to
justify such action, three additional
booths may be provided.
The election commissioners will
meet next week with the chairmen of
both Republican and Democratic par
ties and canvass the situation in an
endeavor to determine just which pre-
cincts will require additional clerks
and voting booths.

TIRED BEING POOR
LITTLE RICH GIRL

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Sept. II. -
Miss Louisa Fletcher, of indianapolis,
who fed from the family summer
home Thursday, was found today at
a farm house near Ipswich.
Miss Fletcher told the police she
had fed from home because she felt
that she had been subjected to too
much discipline and was tired of be-
ing a poor little rich girl.
She said she decided to make her
own way in the world. She cut her
hair short, put on overalls and rowed
in a dory to a fishing vessel outside
Gloucester Harbor and asked the cap
tain if he wanted an extra hand. The
captain told her she was too young.
After that Miss Fletcher said she
rowed across Annisquam Bay and
landed on the Essex shore. This
morning a farmer near Ipswich en-
gagged her as a laborer. She began
work at once but her appearance
caused her employer to notify the po,
lice that he believed his hired man
was a girl in disguise. An officer
from this city brought her to the po
lice station.
Mrs. Fletcher was expected to reach
here from Indianapolis late this after
noon.
