Free Washington Trip to One Who Guesses Election.

Indianap'olsi, Sept. 15. —The republican state central committee is trying to ascertain who is the best political guesser in Indiana, and in order to enliven interest it is offering a trip to Washington, D. C., with all traveling expenses paid, to the person who comes nearest to guessing correctly the result of the vote for Hughes and Wilson in the November election. Fifty thousand slips of paper, bearing the names of the states in alphabetical order and containing Hughes and Wilson columns have been mailed out by L. W. Henly, secretary of the committee. The only condition is that the person be a qualified voter of Indiana and that his name be registered properly on October 9. All guesses must be returned to the state committee on or before that date.
