Democrats see the doughnut, but
laboring men see only the hole!"
And, you know, Al, the Demo-
Gratis would not have elected an
other President or major state Off
Ger in a thousand years. Why. the
immortal Thomas Jefferson, run
ming this fall on the Democratic
ticket, could not have been elected
dog pelter of Hoopole township,
Posep county, Indiana.
And the Democratic party would
be dead and cold-oh, so dead and
cold that King Tut's mummy along
side it would seem hotter than.
So, in closing, Al, let me ex-
tend to you the assurance of a con-
tinuance Of a most distinguished
consideration and again congratu-
late you. You had a close call.
They almost put you on the spot"
and the Democratic party in its
permanent mausoleum.
AS it is, f1guratively speaking,
your official monument still can
stand in the cemetery by the muir
muring waters, waving a laurel
wreath and a lumpy brow. You
still are sitting atop the earth, Al.
Long may you 'Waiye!"

Editor Times-It is to be regret
ted that the author of the editorial
entitled "The Lawyers Vote" ap-
pearing in the April Is issue of the
Times, was not informed correctly
before presuming to make the fol-
lowing statements in the editorial:
"More weight could be given
had the vote been entirely secret.
The ballots were signed and were
counted in the presence of repre-
resentatives of the candidates"
AS a matter of fact, the ballots
we're not signed and we're inclosed in
sealed envelopes labeled "For Bal
lot Only" upon the front of which
was printed "IncloSe Ballot in This
Envelope and Seal the Same"
A signature slip signed by the
member was returned with the
sealed envelope containing the bal
lot and these signature slips were
laid aside before the envelopes con-
tanning the ballots were opened, and
all connection between the two was
lost by the separation of slips and
envelopes containing the ballot.
Thereafter, the envelope contain
ing the ballot was opened, the bal
lots were placed in piles, and when
all envelopes containing ballots had
been opened the tabulation was
begun and completed by certain
members of the judiciary committee
acting as canvassing committee
Fortunately, all the ballots have
been preserved and an inspection
thereof (Which you may have at any
time) will disclose that none of the
ballots is signed, or bears any dis
tinguishing mark by which the
members voting the same could be
identified.
We forwarded to you, contempo-
raneous with the forwarding tC
members Of the Indianapolis Ban
Association, a letter describing the
plan, which distinctly states that the
signature slips (above referred to-
would NOT be inclosed in the en-
velopes For Ballot Only" the pur-
pose of which was to effect a secret
ballot.
I inclose herewith signature slip
the envelope labeled For Ballot
Only" and q ballot for your more
accurate information, and I trust il
view of the facts stated herein thai
you will correct the erroneous state
ments made in the editorial frs
herein referred to and give as
much prominence to the correction
as you have to the erroneous state
ments. Your truly,
EARL r. CONDER.
Chairman Judiciary Committee, In

Editor Times-This letter is in re-
! ply to that of Carroll Collins, which
appeared in The Times:
Your letter published in The
Times regarding married women
working, gives me great concern.
1t is fact that the working mar
ried women of today run into great
numbers. However, statistics vii
prove (if you will take time to &C
into data that the majority OF
married women who work already
have contributed to the perpetuation
of the human race, or perhaps have
in mind the fallacy of the home for
the poor, etc.
They are not parasites, as you
state, and are not seeking to at
tract the attention of men just be-
cause they work; for I know from
personal observation that married
women who work have greater pride
in their homes than the ones who
struggle along keeping house from
day to day, and who look upon life
as just one day of drudgery after
another.
Go into the home Of the mar
ried woman who works; compare il
with the one who stays at home; the
answer is obvious. Mrs. Stay-at-
Home usually remarks: Il don't
quite conceive how you keep youl
house looking so nice"
Now about the fur coat. A mar
