REPUBLICANS TO.
HAVE WOMEN ON
ELECTION BOARDS
Democrats Have Not Yet
Acted Upon Suggestion
To That Effect

Republican women will have a
representative on the election
boards in big districts according
TO information given today at Re
publican headquarters in the Amer
lean building.
The election laws governing the
voting OF women recently passed by
the special session OF the legisla.
ture provides tbat in precincts
where there are more than 200 reg.
istrants that two additional receiV.
ing clerks may be appointed TO be
either men or women.
When this fact became. known the
matter was taken up with the Re
publican womens organization with
Mrs. l.. n. Yost, chairman OF tint
Marion county Democratic organi'
cation with the result that Mrs.
Yost expressed herself as PERSONAL
~ being favorable to appointing
two women members of the election
boards, sone to be Democrat. the
other Republican. So far no. mt.
nation has been given as to wheth-
er or not the Democrats would ap'
point a Democratic woman on the
board but whether they do or not
the Republicans propose to name
woman to serve at each precinct
where the law allows the appoint
ment OF additional clerks.

Worse Condition Than
Whiskey Scandal of 25
Years Ago

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Pro-
hibition enforcement officials, the
New York branch OF the anti.sa'
loon league and It's superintendent
William H. Anderson, shared alike
a vitriolic attack made by Bird S.
Coler, New York commissioner OF
public welfare, in a speech before
the international congress against
alcoholism.
Mr.. Coler's prepared address, al.
though censored by officials OF the
congress to eliminate personalities
charged open violation" OF pro
hfbition laws ana accused Mr.. An
derson of attempting to incite raco
and religious hatred.
Prohibition Commissioner kram.
er, also on the program answered.
the attack on his bureau personally
and Mr.. Anderson who was absent,
replied in a formal statement in
Which he accused Mr.. Coler Of In
1ecting 'Tammany politics" into an
international meeting. Mr.. Coler
explained as a preface 10 his speech
that when he reached the ball
where the sessions OF congress are
being held he was informed by
Chairman DInwiddie, that he would
not be permitted to deal with per-
sonalities, but that the remainder
OF his speech should be delivered.
Launching his attack Coler lev.
elled bitter attack Oh the mass Of
dry workers, particularly those as
sociated with the antisaloon league,
saying they were "buck passers"
and had not forced the candidates
OF either of the major parties to
take a definite stand as to retention
and enforcement of the prohibition
laws. AS for federal enforcement
OF prohibition, the speaker de-
manded that "somethlng be done

Sensational Drops
In Price Of Wheat
LBy Assoclnted Press.

CHICAGO, Sept 24.-Big breaks
in the price OF wheat took place To-
day as result of agitation for a
general cut In food costs. The
smash OF values in wheat amounted
to as much as IL and thre quarters
cents per bushel and the market
closed In a semi-demoralized condt.
tion. December deliveries at S2.25
to S2.25 12 and March at $2.l5 to
S2.16.
Heretofore whtat has been advan'
cling despithe set backs in the price
OF other grains. The chief reason
ascribed was huge sales for exporl
to Europe. Today the stimulus OF
export business appeared to have
lost Influence and especially near
the end of the day wheat tumbleo
wildly downward. In sympathy
with the weakness Of wheat other
grain markets gave way and both
corn and oats fell to lowest yet for
