Golden Text: We have received,
not the spirit of the world, but the
spirit which is of Cod; that we
might know the things that are free

Among the citations which COM
prised the lesson-sermOn was the
following from the Bible: God is a
Spirit: and they that worship him
must worship him in spirit and in
truth. (JOhn 4: 24.)
The lessOn-sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip

worship spiritually, only as we cease
to worship materially. Spiritual de-

WASHINGTON WAS NOT BORN
FEBRUARY %

Washington was born on Febru-
ary 11-and until his death his birth
day was celebrated on that day by
the people of Alexandria, Va. Fol
lowing is the explanation of why his
birthday was changed to February
%:
Prior to the year 1852, the Julian
calendar lin which the new year be-
gan March 25), was used in Europe
and the colonies. When it was 6e-
cided to adopt the Gregorian calen-
dar, making January l the first day
of the year, the months of January,
February and March of the year
1851 were completely dropped from
the calendar. Through a computa-
tion of figures it was found that
Washington's real birthday had
shifted.
There was so much confusion that
it finally was decided his birthday
was February 22-and historians la
ter accepted this date. But until his
death, Washington himself refused
to recognize February % as his
birthday, celebrating it as usual on
February II.

HEAVY VOTE NOTED
THROUGHOUT STATE
Farmers Flock to Polls;
Federal Operatives Are
on Guard.

Power Of the United States gov
eminent is being used in northern
Indiana today to combat illegal vot-
ing, and already two men are under
arrest and 100 others have been sent
across the line into Illinois.
From many points in the state
reports received shortly after the
polls opened at 6 this morning to
remain open until 6 tonight, indi-
Gated that an unusually heavy vote
would be recorded.
The arrests were made after fed
eral operatives raided the Latoka
hot2l in Indiana Harbor, recently
taken over by Lake county as shell
ter for unemployed, pennIless men.
Fred Stultz, assistant Superintend-
ent for poor relief, is in charge.
100 Sent Across River
Those under arrest are Joe Gam
bra, Al, and Robert Williams, 81,
both of Chicago. They are said to
have had sample ballots and Demo-
cratic campaign literature in their
possession. Sending the 100 men
across the line into Illinois was
under direction Of Herman Atkins,
deputy United States marshal.
Other northern Indiana counties
in addition to Lake are being
watched by the federal operatives.
Fair and warm weather is
held partly responsible for the
heavy early morning voting. In
sections of Kokomo where factory
workers reside, polling places were
crowded early today.
Early Voting Heavy
Three hours after the polls
opened in Gary, 10000 votes had
been cast. In the first two hours,
131 persons voted in a Terre Haute
precinct.
The heavy balloting was not con-
fined to cities. From Mt. Vernon
came the report that "the heaviest
vote in history is being cast in this
rural community.

ported Seventy-five votes each in

Massachusetts Precinct
Leads Nation in Early
Tally of Votes.

By United Press
NEW ASHFORD, Mass, Nov. g..
The first complete returns in the
country were counted here early
today in the presidential election,
giving President Herbert Hoover
twenty-four votes and Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt eight.
In 1928, President Hoover polled
twenty-eight votes in this town,
and Alfred E. Smith three votes.
All thirty-three of todays eligible
voters cast ballots in the presiden-
tial contest, but one was rejected
because it was marked for two can
didateS instead of one.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-11-08

One feature of today's elec-
ton is the large outpouring of
women voters, and this was
causing managers of both
parties much worry.
Women are bitter partisanS and
Republican leaders were counting on
them to repeat their heavy vote for
Hoover in 1923.
The Democrats declared that since
housewives are deeply touched by
economic distress, they were cast
ing their ballots in protest.
Far Past 1928 Mark
On the basis of the bi-hourly re-
ports the vote is shown to be 151a
per cent heavier than in 1928, which
would indicate that the county total
may reach the 225 DOC mark, in con-
trast with 1874, 100 four years ago.
Only minor disturbances were re-
ported to election commissioners
with the majority of the calls being
requests for additional machines.
The Negro vote also will be the
heaviest. with the great majority
of the $4,000 Negro voters present
at the polls today.

doubtful wards.
Doubtful Voters Out
The 10000 voters listed as doubt
full also are turning out and this is
another source of worry. with the
Democrats openly claiming IS per
cent of them. The Republicans say
that the fighting campaign of the
President swung the doubtfrls to
their column in the last week.
Speed of voting showed that
there not only was little scratch
ing. but that thousands were for
getting to vote on the constitu-
tional amendments. These amend
ments provide for the constitution
atty of an income tax and provide
examination FOR admission to the
bar.
Reports to the election commits
sioners from some north side pre-
cincts, where voting machines were
opened for adjustment, indicate the
vote is close.
In this section of the city, the re-
suit is usually three to one Repub-
lican, and in some precincts. as high
as six to one. Observers expect the
south side voters to swing the city
into the Democratic column.
