OF CHRISTIAN CHURCH
nv Associated Pressl


WINONA LAKE, Ind, Aug. 81. =
One million new members in five
years was the goal set for an intensive
evangelistic campaign by members OF
the Disciples of Christ church Chris
tian church) in convention here to-
day. This program was outlined by
Rev. Jesse NJ. Bader, superintendent
of evangelism.
The program was originally inaug-
urated, Rev. Bader explained, in 1920
The evangelist said that during the
first year 125, 1000 new members were
added bringing the total membership
in the church to 1,277, 281. Figures on
tho 1922 campaign are not yet avail
able, it was said
Simultaneous evangelistic campaigns
will be opened in the states of the
west and northwest this fall, it was
said. 1t is hoped that many new
churches will be added and dead
churches revived. Campaigns will open
in Indiana and Illinois the first Sun
day in October under this plan.
I'VE believe that Christian educa-
ton is the way TO solve the Indian
problem" declared Rev. w. F. Turner
secretary of the United Missionary so.
lciety, today, in discussing plans for
greater activity among the Indians
There are now 100000 Indians in the
/ United States" he continued, "and one
third of these are unrelated to any
/ Christian community and are almost
wholly unreached by any Christian
ministry. These Indians have never
been assimilated and this seems
/ strange in the fact of the fact that
since 1920 we have assimilated 10000,
/ 900 foreigners.

OF ALL
VOTERS TO BE HELD
IN STATE LAST Time

For the last time. all Indiana voters
are soon to be called on to register.
The voters roll, established by the
registration on Sept. 8, and Oct. 8, is
to become permanent under a law
passed by the last legislature and ap-
proved by Governor Warren T. Nc
Cray
Incidentally the permanent roll
will mean a saving to Indiana counties
for each of the registrations of the
past have cost between 20 and 25
cents for each vote registered. The
total cost has been approximately
S300,000
More than 100000 men and women
slightly more than half of the states
total population-are expected to be
enrolled at the two registrations this
year. Never again as a result of the
new law will all voters be required to
register, but those changing address
and new voters will have the oppor-
tunity of correcting the permanent
registration, established by the enroll
ment of this year.
| Last Cost sos, 1855.
| The last egistration-that of 1920
! showed 1,446,374 voters, of whom
| 1854 were men and 600,332 were
women. This registration cost $685.
466, according to reports made to the
Legislative reference bureau, or ap-
proximately 81 cents vote.
! General elections, such as that OF
the coming November, usually cost al
most twice as much for each vote as
does the registration, the state bureau
reporting the cost of the 1920 contest
as $685., 599, with 1,249,762 votes being
cast for secretary of state. The pri
mary election, however, is the most
costly on the cost per vote, accord
ing to the bureaus figures. In the
1920 primary317 1874 votes were cast
at total of $313,427, or SO cents a
vote.
A $4,000 appropriation covers the
registration, election and primary
costs in Wayne county, according to
the statement of Howard Brooks
county auditor. At this rate, the cos
for the three occasions would tota
only So cents for each of the $4,000
voters registered at the last registra
ton date.

REPUBLICAN HOUSE
CLOSING UP RANKS
FOR new SCHEDULE
tBy United Pressl


WASHINGTON, Aug. 31-The Re
publican majority in the House Is now
devoting good deal of its time (unof-
ficially) to internal politics.
Voluntary retirements among the
"old timers" and involuntary retire
ments decreed by ''fickle voters" in
the primary elections that have been
held thus far have already been SO
numerous as to necessitate an almost
complete new deal in the republican
organization in the lower branch.
And the scramble is already on.
The vacancies do not have to be filled
until next March 4, when the new
congress comes in, but by that time
the problem of making the new Sc
lections will be only matter of rati-
fication. The "slate" is being made
up now.
May Oppose GilIet
There is little real talk of putting
up a man to contest with Speaker
Gillet in the next congress and so the
republicans are giving first thought
to the position of floor leader, which
Rep. Mondell, of Wyoming, vacates
this year to either go to the Senate
or retire Several members are being
prominently mentioned for Mondelrs
job, chief among them being Nicholas
Longsworth of Ohio; Sydney Ander
son of Minnesota and Will r. Wood
Of Indiana. Longsworth seems to
have the inside track and if he gets
the place, the son-in-law of the Presi
dent Roosevelt will at last step into
the prominence his friends say he has
long deserved.
Next in line, and probably first in
real importance, comes the chairman
ship of the powerful rules committee
which really decides what the house
will do, and when. The present chair
man, Phillip Campbell of Kansas, was
beaten for denomination. Rep. B. H
Smell, of New York is the ranking re
publican member and will be promoted
to the craftsmanship.
Important Committee
The Craftsmanship of the ways anf
means committee will be vacant, due
to the retirement of Rep. Joseph Ford
new. of Michigan. If the seniority ruiz
is followed, Rep. Green, of Iowa viii
ascend the gavel throne. Longswortl
is next in line.
The Craftsmanship of another influ
entail committee may be vacant. Rep
WinSIOw OF MASSACHUSETTS Is coHSlu
ering dropping out of politics. Hi;
wife wants him to and it looks like
she'll win.
If there's any serious effort to I'm
seat Speaker Gillet, the three mem
bers mentioned for the floor leader
ship probably will be the stronges
candidates for the place. But at leas
one of them, Longsworth, has said ht
would not enter a contest with Gillet
The list of congressman already
scheduled to leave the House at the
end of their present terms on Marcel
4 includes q Republicans, most o.
them wheelhorses of the party.

Police Seek Looters
Of Aged Mans Home
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Ind, Aug. 31.-Po-
lice and county officials are today
searching for five men who late yes
terday afternoon entered the home OF
Samuel Ming, an so year old farmer
living near here, tied him to a chair
and then looted the house. One of the
men stood guard over Ming, with a
revolver pointed at the aged mans
head while the other four bandits
robbed the farmers home. While the
bandits obtained only an insignificant
sum of money it is believed that they
were searching for the savings of a
life time which Ming was supposed tC
have kept hidden in the house. The
men were unmasked. Ming, who was
uninjured was left tied to the chair
when the bandits left and it was more
than an hour before he was able tc
summon help.
