BIG SWITCHING OF VOTES
IN WISCONSIN
More Than 100000 Voters Split
Their Ballots in November
Election; Lueck Ran Strong.

Madison-More than 200 600
voters split their ballots in the Nov
ember election, official returns of
all but nine counties tabulated in
the secretary of states office in
dictate. 1t was the biggest switch
! ing of votes ever seen in Wisconsin.
The Democratic candidate for
governor ran unusually strong
Judge Martin Lueck received about
100000 votes. On the other hand
John w. Davis, Democratic candidate
for president, will have but about
$4,000 votes when the count is com
plete, the figure based on the present
returns.
With nine counties still missing.
LaFollette has 317,816 votes;
Coolidge, 23,762 votes. Gov. John
]. Blainedrew about 800, 900 votes.
1t is claimed that many of the
votes that went for Lueck. the
Democrat, were also cast for Cool
idge.
The Democratic vote on the
national ticket was the smallest ever
cast in presidential race in Wis
consin. 1t is less than half of the
vote for Cox in 1922 when he polled
113,422 votes. In 1916 Wilson
polled total Of 1902 in the state.
Official returns from all but nine
counties show a growth in the |. w.
w. movement in the state. A total
of 1854 votes were cast for the
Workers party candidates with some
of the strongest |. w. w. counties
still to hear from.
f. l.. Philip, former governor,
will probably lead in the vote for
Coolidge electors. His total vote on

Traffic Census Reveals
Enormous Auto Travel
Check Ups Show That The Highways
Must Stand A Terrific
Strain.

As usual the Wisconsin Highway
Commission has taken n series of
traffic counts. in all, during the
summer of 1924 at selected points on
the highways in every county in the
state. These counts have been taken
every year since 1919. This year
they were taken on days through
out the season, in the months Of
June, July, August and September
beginning with June 18th and
ending with September 18th
The total number of vehicles count
ed this year was ,053,905 or 2.02S
each station. Of these S35.205
were Wisconsin cars representing
1872 per cent of the total l57,73S
cars from other states representing
Is per cent Of the total; 1920
motor trucks or 4.2 per cent of the
total; 5,99S motorcycles or 0.6 per
cent of the total; and l0,704 horse
drawn vehicles representing per
cent of the total 1t is interesting
to compare these figures with those
of previous years. In doing so the
comparison will be made on the basis
of the average number of vehicles
counted at each station and of the
percentage of the different types of
vehicles. The comparison is not
made on the basis of the total count
as in 1919 the count was made on
only days, in 1920 on s, and in
1921 on z days In 1922 and 1923
the counts were made on s days so
for these two years the totals may
be used in making the comparison.
In 1924 1,053,900 vehicles were
counted; in 1928, STA, 577; and in
1922, 670.699, This shows re-
markable increase.
So far az foreign cars are concern
ed | 5 per cent OF the total count in
1924 is represented by foreign cars;
1877 per cent in 1928; l2.l per cent
in 1922; 1871 per cent in 1921; II
per cent in 1920 and S.8 per cent in
1919. This shows that the number
of foreign cars almost doubled in .
years.
The number Of trucks counted in
1924 was 44,260 while in 1919 it
ran to only 4,G6l which shows m
amazing increase in the use of trucks.
In 1920 ii was 1851; in 1921 1900;
and then came big leap in 1922
when it ran to 1856; big increase
in 1928 35,770; and good increase
in 1924 44,260
Perhaps the best way TO visualize
the traffic increase in Wisconsin is
found in the number of ears counted
at each station. In 1924 this was
2,038 and in 1919 it was only COS
Almost 81 times more cars were
counted in 1924 than were counted 3
years ago. In 1920 the average ear
count at each station was 947; IN
1921, 1908; in 1922, 1920; in 1928,
1876; and in 1924, 2,O38.
These figures are highly signifl-
cient in considering the road pro-
blem. 1t is traffic, vehicles, that
wears out roads and creates the de-
mand for them. When we think that
over 3 times more vehicles were
counted at he checking points IN
1924 than were 3 years ago we can
easily visualize what the road pro-
blem is today and it is food for sober
thought in determining highway
program

Want Privilege of
The Party Circle
Right to Use of Party Circle on
Independent Presidential Ballots
Will Be Asked of
Legislature.

Madison-A fight to give in
dependent presidential tickets and
electoral states the right to the use of
the party circle on the presidential
ballot will be made in the coming
session of the Wisconsin legislature,
state officials believed today.
La Toilette leaders here claimed
after the election that the LaFollette-
Wheeler electors lost fully 10000
votes in the state because ballots
marked only at the top of the indie
pendent progressive column were
thrown out
The movement to give independ-
ent electoral states the same privi-
lege of the party circle as the regular
states was given particular impetus
by the official opinion from At
torney General Herman l.. Ekern
that a mark at the top of column
of independent electors clearly in
Dictated the intent of the voter even
if he failed to place a cross after the
name of each elector.
AS a result of this opinion, cleo
ton officials were instructed by
Secretary of State Fred r. Zim-
norman to count these ballots, but
LaFollette leaders assert that humid
reds so marked were thrown out in
each county.
The row raised by three minor in
dependent parties about their rights
is given as another reason for
Qualification of the election laws.
A bill already is being drafted for
the purpose of making some modifi-
cations. Although this particular
measure does not give independents
the privilege of using the party
circle, the matter is certain to be
brought up either as an amendment
or in another bill, officials said
A bill now being prepared would
clear up the trouble which resulted
when the Commonwealth Land,
Socialist Labor, and Workers parties
claimed few weeks before election
that Wisconsin officials were dis
eliminating against them. 1t was
at first decided that these parties
could not have the names of their
presidential ticket at the head of
their lists of electors because they
had filed nomination papers for only
the electors. Two parties which had
failed to nominate complete states Of
electors also were forced to share
the same column. These rulings,
however, were reversed when the
parties sent in strong protests.
The proposed modification would
give Independents filing complete
states of electors the right to col
umn of their own and the privilege,
upon proper certification from party
headquarters, Of having their presi-
Dental and vice presidential candi-
dates named at the top Of the col
umn. Independents filing only in
complete electoral states would have
to share one column on the ballot, be-
sides losing the privilege Of having
their nominees names printed
above
The bill is still in an incomplete
stage, however, and further r1ojifi-
cations are likely to be suggested
before il is ready to be offered to the
legislature.

Home Rule and Forestry
Amendments Adopted.

Although it has not yet been
definitely determined it is believed
that the amendment to the Wisconsin
state constitution to provide another
circuit court for Dane county will
also receive a favorable majority
when the final tabulation of returns
is made. The forestry and home rule
amendments carried by big major
tiles.
The home rule amendment is
considered most important because
it will give cities more power than
they have ever had in the determine
ton of their own affairs and will
leave to the legislature power to
regulate city affairs only on matters
that are of statewide Importance.
The forestry amendment can
bring no result in itself. 1t empow-
ers the legislature to appropriate
money for internal Improvements
and is expected to form the back
ground for a definite policy of fores-
try conservation in the state.

Traces of T,cO Distinct Races Found
By Local Scientist in Florida Mound
Dr. J. alter Fe,rkes Back in Washington A After Vim.
ter Spent Ercdrdting Ancient Burial
Ground Of Indians.

DR.. J. Walter Fewkes, chief OF the
bureau of American ethnology, has
just returned from Florida, where he
has been engaged in the excavation
of a large burial mound near st.
Petersburg. The work upon this
mound began in January, and thus
far about one-third of it has been
scientifically excavated.
The burial mound is accompanied
with other mounds, some Of which
are the sites of former Indian homes.
others are simply where the Indians
feasted, bringing their shellfsh food,
after roasting. which they threw
away the shells, forming a large
mound. In the course of the exca-
vating work thus far over $50 hui
man buriaJs have been found. They
are arranged in two layers, or strata,
one above the other. indicated by the
color of the soil and by the character
of the objects found in them
Two Successive Peoples.
The indications arc either that the
upper of these layers, which contains
the best pottery or implements, was
developed from the lower, or that
two successive peoples buried their
dead in this mound. The pottery
from the upper layer is very finely
made and adorned with graceful de-
signs, which show a high artistic de-
velopment. The lower layer contains
objects of cruder and coarser pottery.

HOLT CONCERT GIVEN.
Twenty-Fifth Annual Program
Held Last Night.

An entertaining program was given
last night by the Nordica Mandolin
and Guitar Orchestra, appearing in the
twenty-fifth annual concert of the
group in the Raleigh Hotel, under the
leadership of Walter T. Holt.
The musicians were assisted by
Miss Ruth Peter, soprano; Fred j.
Bacon, banjoist, and the Columbian
Aale Quartet, composed of Paul G..
leidig, first tenor; w. Z. Braithwaite,
second tenor; willard S. Haynie, bari
tone, and John G. Smith, basso.
The work of orchestra was particu-
larly pleasing in "The Dying Poet" of
Gottschalk, the tone in the legato
passages being especially soft and
mellow. This composition looses
somewhat in it's effect, however, when
toward the end the legato is aban-
doned and a more or less staccato
passage is introduced.
Miss Peter sang Mrs. Beach's "Ah,
Love, But Day." with excellent ex-
preston and well-rounded tone, and
was forced to respond with an encore.
The Columbian Quartet, which is
we'll balanced in tone and artistic in

all the lifting delicacy of the com

Although Mr.. StokowSki is liberal in
his choice of music, balancing the old
and new works in pleasing variety on
his programs, there is no question
that Mozart Schumann and Rimsky-

alton and gave more thorough en-

impression Of the lower East Side OF

velous lyric following the softer
moods of the two movements preced-

the orchestra ever played better than
in this symphony, and the audience
gave the entire organization an ova-

Officials to Investigate Accusations
Against Two Members of

Following an Investigation of an
alleged joy-ride in which Policemen
Adolph Waldorf and Wesley L. Tay-
lor of the fourth precinct are charged
with having participated with two
colored women, police officials have
suspended the two policemen and
they will be ordered before the trial
board Saturday morning.
1t is said that one Of the men
offered the explanation that they had
the colored women in their automo-
bile for the purpose of having them
point out violators of the Harrison
narcotic law. The women, however,
are said to have told of trip to
Maryland and the consumption of
corn liquor. One or them said she
threw a jar of the intoxicant from
the machine when fourth precinct
officials were following them.
