FOR VOTING
Election Commissioners Ar
range Details to Smooth
Path of Wayne Men and
Women Next Tuesday.
SHOULD VOTE EARLY

So far as it has been possible.
every effort has been made to so ar
range matters for election day that
every voter will have the opportunity
to cast his ballot without difficulty
said member of the election commits
| sloners today, but the fact that
wayne county is confronted with prac-
| tlcally twice the number of voters
with the same number of voting places
! as were provided in times when the
vote was only half the size, means
that the voters themselves must as
| sist.
There is no law which compels a
voter to go to the polls early, but
there is reason this year why he
should. There is no question that
scores of persons in Richmond may
lose their votes if they put off going
! to the polls until mid afternoon The
congestion in the precincts where
from 400 to $50 voters have been reg
lstered will be great at times and un-
less there is sentiment created
among both Republicans and Demo
Gratis to go to the polls early there
! may be some disappointments.
The time required to enter the polls,
announce your name, have your eligi-
bility verified by the registration book,
receiving your two ballots, one State
and one county, mark same as you
intend voting, fold them so that the
poll clerks initials will show, and then
hand your ballots to the officer to be
placed in the ballot boxes-all these
things require some time.
Every voter who makes up his or
her mind to consider that on next
Tuesday the first matter of business
for the day is voting, will not be dis
appointed. Others who are dilatory
take a chance. Vote before 10 a. M
is the slogan being used by both Re-
publicans and Democrats in many
Indiana cities where similar conditions
confront the voters"
At both Republican and Democratic
headquarters, every effort is being put
forth to notify all voters of the respec-
tive parties to go to the polls in the
forenoon without fail. Precinct com.
mitteemen also are endeavoring to i'm
press on the voters in their precincts
that this should be followed and cleo
ton officers were hopeful today that
there would be 60 per cent or more Of
the vote cast by II a. m.

confidential. TALKS
OF JAPAN'S MINISTER
PUBLISHED IN PRESS

TOXIC, Oct 28-Some embarrass.
ment has been caused the foreign of
flee by the publication of addresses
Masano Hanihara. vice foreign minis
ter, has been delivering before vari,
Gus political groups of the Diet on
developments in the negotiations with
the United States relative to the Cali
fornia land question. There has been
a tacit agreement between Washing
ton and Toxic that the governments
would not make public statements re-
garding the negotiations which are
continuing sympathetically.
1t is understood that talks given by
M. Hanihara to political leaders have
been a sort of concession to polite
ians who have been demanding less
secrecy in diplomatic matters. They
have been of a confidential nature,
but, nevertheless full reports have
been publi'hed by newspapers here.
In this connection, the vice foreign
minister has made request that a
statement be published that newspa-
per reports of his address before the
Kenyuki party in the House of Peers
on Oct. 16, were distorted versions of
his remarks, and attributed to him,
statements he did not make.
M. Hanihara, speaking on Oct. 16,
was reported to have declared that
measures taken to check the anti-Jap-
anese movement in California had
been futile. He was said to have de-
clared that if the referendum meas
ure should be adopted by the Cali
fornia legislature, there would be an
appeal to the supreme court by Jap
anese residents of that state, de-
mand for the notification of the law
as an infringement on the Japanese
American treaty and negotiations for
a new convention between Japan and
the United States.

BUY GRAVEL DEPOSIT

County Board Of Supervisors Com.
promises With Harold EIdridge,
Purchasing Acre Of Land For ST.
ooO-New Record Made in Road
Work For Twelve Months.
The county board of supervisors
Saturday compromised with Harold
Eldridge, of Clemens. and paid $4,000

the gravel at q figure under that set
by the owner.
The county desires the gravel bed
primarily for the Improvement Of the
north and south road thru Clemens,
the farmers OF the neighborhood
having agreed to do the work If the
county put the road to grade.
During the past season, despite the
late start due to q rainy spring, the
county has graded and regS2ded ITO
miles Of public roads, and has
graveled many miles Of highway. ex-
haustins two gravel beds. The work
completed this year sets new rec
ord. more mileage having been i'm
proved than during the last three

possible by the adoption Of q new
working system and the installation
Of tractors and other modern road
work equipment.
