"Last week Idy Gregg, that's my

talk to Mrs. Richardson about her
being the daughter and heiress of
Henry w. Putnam, San Francisco
millionaire.
The story the visitor had heard
was that Aunt Mary was the long
lost daughter of Henry W. Putnam,
who died in San Francisco in 1915,
leaving an estate estimated at so
million dollars. The estate had ac-
cumulated from the royalties on
wire inventions-a safety pin, a bot
tie fastener and score of other suc>
cessful devices. He also was said to-
have been one of the builders of
Brooklyn's elevated road.
In 1849,, Putnam, heading West to
make his fortune, had left his four
year-old daughter, Mary, and her
twin sister in an orphanage in New
Orleans. He had taken his son, Hen
ry, Jr., with him. Instead of hunting
gold along with the California "for-
ty-niners," Putnam bought two
springs and supplied water to the
citizens of San Francisco, laying the
foundation of his fortune.
Family Was Scattered
Grown rich, his fortune increasing
daily the inventor started his hunt
for his daughters. Mary had been
adopted by a family named Lewis
and disappeared. Her twin sister
had become Mrs. Gilbert Wallace
and had died. The son had become
Henry W. Putnam, Jr., New York
multi-millionaire.
After the inventors death Mrs.
Wallace's grandchildren moved
from Redondo Beach, CAL, to Ohio.
By coincidence they established
themselves near Mrs. Mary Richard
sons tiny farm. Aunt Mary's rela-
tionship was thus established. And
word finally came from Henry, Jr.,
in New York, that he was coming to
call upon his sister, whom he hadn't

dropped to whisper as her watery
eyes looked through the. automobile

"Have you brung the million dol
lars?" she asked.
A horses neigh filled the tiny
house. Standing with its nose press

President and Vice-Presi-
dent and Congress to
be Chosen Then
CAMPAIGN PROVES
ONE OF APATHY
In the State, Convention
Question Seems to be
Paramount One

The national election for president
and vice president as well as the en-
tire house of representatives and one
third of the senate viii be held next
Tuesday, November g. Every voting
precinct, in the forty-eight states will
be open and the number Of votes cast
will be larger than ever before in the
nations history, many millions of wo-
men, recently enfranchised, casting
their ballots for the first time.
1t has been campaign Of apathy
on the part of the voters and on the
surface at least little interest has been
shown in the progress Of the campaign.
Both the two great parties are claim
ing victory for their candidates and
as to which is right in its conten-
tions no one is wise enough now to
say.
The democratic candidate for presi-
dent, Governor Cox Of Ohio, has made
a vigorous campaign almost since his
nomination, while the republican can
didate, Senator Harding, also of Ohio,
has confined himself to a "front-
porch" campaign, relying on the voters
of the nation to elect him president
without his hardly leaving home. He
made a few addresses at various
points, one at a southern city in
which he appealed to the south to
break away from the democratic
party and show it's political indepen'
dence. The south, however, while
giving him a respectful hearing, will
cast its entire electoral vote Tuesday
for Governor Cox. In this connection II
is predicted that Senator Harding Will
receive quite a respectable vote II
many sections of the south, and few
brave souls even predict that his vote
in some southern states will sur
prise the well entrenched democrats
! As it is foregone conclusion thai
Louisiana will cast its vote for Cox
no local interest is being taken in th'
election. But besides voting for pres
ident, a senator and members Of con
gres, it will be up to the electorate o
the state to vote on a number of pro
posed amendments to the presen
constitution, and at the same tim
pass on the question whether a con
stitutional convention will be held o
not, and also elect delegates to tha
convention. There are both oppoI
ents as well as proponents Of the cor
vention, and while a few brave soul
from both sides have tried to sti
up interest in the matter, the voter
have seemingly taken little interes
and there is not man in the stat
who can predict truthfully now ho7
the question will be decided. Appa'
emily a small vote will be cast j
.ti.o ela1a. urlczs II signs fail, an
the apathy of the voters many IN larg
measure account for either the a
ceptance or rejection of the call for
convention.
