Indiana, is was learned here today.
While Beveridge is not an svowed can
didate for the post, his friends say If the
President rendered It to him they be
lieve Beveridge would accept.
Harding has high regard for Bever-
idge's ability. He was one "of the best
minds at Marion. The President has
had him in mind for a diplomatic post
from the outset and is said to have Of
fered him the ambassadorship to Japan,
but the former Hoosier Senator de-
clined.
The appointment Of Beveridge, accord

that may initiate against the chances
Of either Dr. David Jayne HILL former
ambassador to Germany, or Ellis Loring
Dresel. who negotiated the peace treaty
with Germany. both Of whom have been

Dr. Hill's former diplomatic service and
his political service have given rise to
the belief that his appointment would
come when peace finally was declared.
Dresel's success IN negotiating the treaty
has been pleasing to the President and
IT is known that he desires to reward
him.
The political angle arises from the fact
that Beveridge may become a candidate

LIGHTEST VOTE
is BEING CAST
Seventy-Five Votes Record
Precinct Count at
Noon.
RAIN IS DETRIMENTAL

From fifteen to seventy-f five votes had
been cast in each precinct in the consti-
tutional amendment election at noon to-
day, according to returns received at
county election board headquarters in
the basement of the courthouse. The rain
early in the day caused a light early
vote, but as the day progressed. the vote
became heavier. 1t did not become heavy
enough, however, to indicate that it
would be higher than 4 very small per
centage of normal.
Estimates as TO the size of the vote
ranged from 10 per cent to 80 per cent
Very few persons anticipate more. There
was little or 10 effort to get the vote out,
interested persons apparently being con
tent to let things take their course.
Women seemed TO be quite as inter
ested in the election as the men; in fact,
one clerk declared the only enthusiasm
shown was among the feminine voters.
In one Of the largest north side precincts
by $50 o'clock this morning there were
seventy five voters registered, and when
the sun blazed out an impetus seemed
to be given TO the voting, for in a few
minutes automobiles gathered and fam
lily parties dropped in.
MANY CONFUSE
MANNER OF VOTING.
There seemed TO be quite a little con-
fusion in the minds of both the men 5
and women's minds whether to place the
cross on the yes" If they favored the
amendment or whether they should cross
out the no"
Seems 10 NE that I should eradicate
the no instead of the yes" one fair
voter said. Il filed one whole one out
and was just ready to hand it in, when
l heard some gentleman ask where %
put the cross and 1 realized I had voted
just opposite to the way I had intended.
I surely had a narrow escape, for, after
all I have said in favor Of the first
amendment, it would have been tragic
If I had cast ny vote against 1t. How
ever, the clerk kindly handed me a new
ballot and I marked it right"
In this same polling place a stalwavt
gentleman of decided dignity, who un-
doubtedly was used to a solid mahogany
immovable desk for writing purposes,
suddenly and without warning pushed
the voting booths over. leaving himself
and ballot exposed to the eyes of the
curious public.

of these earnings comparing the william

it was envy aroused by the exposure

DEMOCRATS IN
TARIFF ATTACK
Say System Will Deliver COun-
try Hog Tied Into Hands
of Trusts.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-With an eye
to next years Congressional elections, the
Democrats in Congress have launched an
attack against the American valuation
system applied to tariffs on imports,
charging that if this Republican program
goes through the country will be delivered
hog tied into the hands of trusts, mo-
nopolies and price fixing organizations"
The Democratic leaders in Congress
wish to educate the people to this in
iquity" and are sending out much mail
matter to their constituencies bearing on
it. Preliminary political campaigns will
begin in activity about Jan. 1, and nomi-
nations in many States will be made
early in the spring. The Democrats are
getting an early start.
When the American valuation plan be
comes effective as the basis for imposing
the tariff duties, the trusts, monopolies
and price fixing organizations will run
up the wholesale market price so that
any tariff duty will become prohibitive
and an effective Chinese wall will be
raised against imports, the Democrats
charge.
