THERE WILL BE 750,000 NEW INDIANA VOTERS

Indiana women, by virtue of the action of the Tennessee house of representatives, which completed the ratification by that state of the Susan B. Anthony equal suffrage amendment to the national constitution, may vote at the November election for all the natinonal, state, county and township offices, and in future at all city and town elections. They will have precisely the same political privileges that have heretofore been enjoyed almost exclusively by the men. The state board of election commissioners estimate that there will be 750,000 women voters in the state and are preparing ballots on that basis. Two ballots are allowed for each voter in the preparation for holding elections. The total number Of male voters enumerated by the county auditor in 1919 was 808,391, meaning that there will be a total vote, this year of approximately 1,600,000. The state board of election commissioner has ordered printed 1,5000,000 ballots. The extra cost of the election this fall is estimated at 25 per cent, or a total of $370,000. Two clerks, possibly women, will be used at each polling place. Officers in charge of precinct voting places will decide whether separate voting places shall be provided for women. Because of 'an insufficient number of voting machines, Australian ballots will be usml extensively,, which will greatly cßalay the compilation of returns. Men and women will use the same ballots. Several women have been nominated on county ballots in»anticipation of the suffrage amendment ratification, and they are now qualified for offiice. No distinction between men and women will be made in registration for the election. It is estimated that there will be 27,000,000 women voters in the United States.

BIG BOYS SUDDENLY APPEAR.

Lafayette, Ind., Aug. IS.—Local anglers who cast for bass in the Tippecanot river are wondering what has caused the sudden appearance of large numbers of unusually big fish in the waters of this popular stream. Within the last week bass have been caught there that are larger than any ever taken from the river in years past. The river is noted for its small mouth baas weighing from one pound to three pounds but the heavier big-mouth variety of bass has become abundant there.. La F. Jamison was the first to catch one of these fish. Bis catch weighed 5% pounds. He caught the fish with pork rind bait at Millers Bend, fifteen miles from Lafayette. Henry Schurman caught a six-pound fish of the same variety at Big Rock. Wallace Marshall then caught a seven-pound big-mouth bass at the Vawter clubhouse. Never before have such heavy baas been caught in the Tippecanoe.

Out of respect to Ray Chapman, Cleveland’s star short stop, who lost his life when struck by a pitched ball Monday, all major and minor league teams will suspend play for five minutes during the funeral services, which are being held this Friday afternoon. Job printing at the RepabUefih office.
