LAY PLANS TO
CHALLENGE AT
POLLS TUESDAY
CONTINUED From Page one,)

lent applications bear forged signatures
and hundreds Of others are absolutely
fraudulent.
However, as the court has held that
there is no way, except by challenge, to
prevent voting by those unqualified by
reason Of unlawful registration, we will
take steps to have challenges made by
responsible men, who will appreciate the
gravity Of the situation.N
"These challenges will be followed up
by arrests and prompt and vigorous
prosecution in the Federal or State
courts.
"If it is at all possible to prevent
fraudulent voting, we are determined to
do It,"
The decision of Judge Thornton in sus-
tanning the demurrer OF the defendants,
is as follows:
The first challenge in this case is that
| the relator has no power to maintain
| this suit.
He is maintaining the suit simply as
the chairman of the Democratic party
Heretofore 1t has been the rule that
| before one could maintain a suit of this
kind 1t was necessary to show fist that
he was a voter Of the county or political
division involved. but it is claimed that
| that rule does not now apply.
The contention that we have here in
hand is that the county chairman is
elected according to the provision of
perform under the statute, and there
| fore, although he may not be voter,
may not be resident Of the county, he
may maintain this suit.
HE is not an officer of the State, OF
the county township, city or town.
He is simply an officer OF a political
party.
tain this suit ulust ne a voter, and that
the relator no no power to maintain the
DUTY OF REt garRATIoN
BOARD NOT DEFINED
Now, as 20 another question, the ques-
The statute continues the registration
board as a board until and including the
day Of the election.
1t says nothing with reference to any
duty that II has to perform:
The claim made by the relator is that
useless thing because the board could
not perform airy duties with reference
TO the question in hand, but at the same
time the relator invokes the power or
the court 70 compel that board TO come
| In and perform q duty.
Now II the board has no duty TO per-
form, has no power to perform any DUTY,
I do not see how this court can comnel
it to come into court and perform a
duty; and II the court could compel
II to perform a duty then | think the
relator has TO admit that It could per-
form a duty upon demand made.
Judge Cox:f VIII the court permit me
The Court: Yes.
Judge Cox: I think the court has
misrepresented our position.
II was not that the board could not
perform the duty. but that the county
chairman had no power 10 Invoke the
converting Of the board to discharge that
duty.
The Court-Then. II that is true. a de-
mand ought to have been made before
the suit was brought. Whichever horn
OF the dilemma Is taken, the complaint
In that regard is insufficient.
Now upon another point: lis there
a remedy"
We might say. however, In this con-
nection, that Il would seem aB II the
Legislature had intended 10 say some
thing in the statute In regard TO the
board OF registration from the time Of
the last registration day up until the

CALLS ON WOMEN
TO AID GOV. COX
Mrs. Lewis ExhOrts Female
Vote in Speech.

An appeal was made for women voters
to support the Democratic party as the
friend Of woman suffrage by Mrs. Olive
Beldon Lewis in a talk at the League
of Nations headquarters at noon.
1.-THE Democrats did all and more than
what the women asked for" declared
Mrs. Lewis, land when the Republicans
go about claiming they got suffrage for
women. they can learn the truth that
women got suffrage for themselves"
Mrs. Lewis pointed out that since 1860,
during all the Republican administra-
lions, the suffrage amendment never got
out OF the committees.
Woodrow Wilson in 1916 allied him
self with the women's cause and made it
a national issue and had it not been fOg
him the women would not be able to
vote"
Mrs. Lewis declared that when the rat;-
ication of the amendment depended on
the thirty-sixth State If Win Hays had
wished 1t could have been put over in
Connecticut just as well as in Tennessee
No women from Indiana were dele
gates at the Chicago convention because
Jim Watson knew them too well FROM
his experiences with them as chairman
of the suffrage committee where he was
a detriment rather than asset"
She declared the Democrats are not
afraid of " hat the women will do fol
their party.
She called the Federal reserve act the
highest piece Of legislation ever enacted
and scored the Republicans for making
an issue of tariff which had been put in
charge Of a. nonpartisan committee by
the Democrats.
From one-half to three-Tourths of the
the Republic MS who vote the Republican
ticket this fall are voting on the issues
Of 1850 instead Of 1920" she declared. al
the same time expressing her admiration
OF Abraham Lincoln.
"If Lincoln had been living today and
had urged his constructive ideals be
ieve they would have crucifed him just
as they have done Mr.. Wilson, and no
living Republican can make me believe
that if he were living today he would
be in league with Boies Penrose and
Henry Cabot Lodge"
Mrs. Lewis declared the Republicans lin
order to get a few votes are appealing to
the pro-German element in addition to
every radical force in the country.
ut is time" she declared emphatically
"for the Democrats as well as the Repub-
heans to make the Republican party clean
house, removing Objectionable members
from the party"

of them rested on the bottom of the

OF the cases for which claims have
been filed and allowances made against

to relatives for interment in other
cemeteries in accordance with their
wishes.
In some of these cases the relatives
have paid the funeral expenses, but
the county paid the contract price Of
pauper burial without knowledge

For the work Of the world goes right

And the business Of life must be carried

Sit down at the window pane OF life when
the storms begin 10 blow,
And watch the faces Of toilers grim as
they hourly come and go,
They must bear their burdens and face
their tasks in spite OF the rain or
snow.
The captains pilot their ships at sen and
the st0kers stoke their fires,
Though the waves roll high and the tenn
pest sings dirge through the frozen
wires,
And / think sometimes that the storm
king laughs in glee at the man who
tires.
Fit for MI weathers man must bel Who
shrinks from the pelting rain
And dreams forever Of sunny skies, shall
find he has dreamed in vain,
For all must trudgc through the storms
Of life to the goals that they would
attain
So stand you staunch at your post of
life, keep faith when your Joys
have gone,
In spite Of the huut and the waste and
gloom that you wake ~ look upon
In spite OF all that the fates may send
the living must carry 0nl
