The Rev. T. H. Kuhn, of Richmond, was calling" on his Democratic friends in this city today. He appeared very much elated over the result of his race for Congress. "I feel very highly compliment, i»deed," he said, "to know that 3000 Republicans voted for me. I carried the city of Richmond and 200 mutilated votes that had to be thrown out there had been intended for me."

Democrats on all sides were congratulating Mr. Kuhn while he was here and there were many suggestions of his name as a good one to head the State ticket in two years. "I am in favor of Kuhn for Governor,'' said a well-known Democrat. "He is a vote getter and competent in every way to fill the great office.

Indiana, a tew years ago, had a governor who was a minister of the same demonination as Mr. Kuhn—the late Rey. Ira J. Chase.

IS SOME OUT FIXED IT

afe

When Nfcwly Elected Judge Should Takers Place.'

...

The confusion comes from a decision of the supreme court that held the act of 1903 relating to terms of office null and void. This act provided that the terms of office of all circuit judges, etc., after that date elected should begin on the first day of January next succeeding their election. This same act regulated the term of county officers and a test case was made of one of the offices, the supreme court declaring the act void in so far as it related „to constitutional offices. Should that decision be good the statute next in foroe is that of 19014 which reads: "The term of office of the county auditor, county clerk, county sheriff, county recorder, prosecuting attorney, county assessor, county coroner, county surveyor and county commissioners in each county in the State of Indiana shall begin on the first day of January next following the term of office of the Encumbent.

Judge Elect Mason will qualify and be prepared to take the office on the 20th and will in the meantime permit the question to adjust itself.' 'Personally I would prefer to wait until the first of the year," the Judge said today, "which woulct give me time to adjust my business as an attorney."

Mr. Jacobs will succeed Will White as recorder and W. A Service will become clerk on the first day of January. Will Gordon will also vacate the office of commissioner to David L. Wickard. W. I. Garriott's, term as auditor will not expire until January, 1908

Changes in Election Inspectors.

The township trustees are by virtue of their office inspectors of the elections held in the precincts in which they live. There are only two Republican trustees in Hancock county. ui-They are Morton Allender in Blue River township and Sherman Rothermell of Green township. Neither of the«e trustees served on the electjon board of their township for the reason that there were candidates on the township ticket who were related to them.

In Sugar Creek towhshlp, precinct number f\ 2, George Sottsford was appointed inspector, but on the morning of election it was suggested that he was a cousin to Mr. Cotton, who was on the Republican state ticket for superintendent of public instruction, so he stepped aside and another man was elected in his place.

In Blue River township, pretinct number two, where township trustee Morton Allender was related to one of the candidates on the township ticket, an inspector was elected. The elected inspector was a Republican. A Democrat was at the polls with a commission from the county auditor to act as inspector but the Republican was sworn in and served. Early Wednesday morning U. S. Jackson filed an oral protest with the election canvassing board against the canvass of the returns from that precinct, but as the bo«trd had already received and^tabulated the votes, nothing more was done with it. The counting or throwing out of the vote would not materially effect any of the candidates. Tha vote of the precinct is very nearly equal between the parties.

The first nuiaber of the entertainment course given by the ladies of the Presbyterian church, will be given in the Christian church November 14.

Mr. Sample said todays "I was expecting the car to stop at the old station, not remem^ bering of its removal or knowing of a custom to stop at the far crossing. It was dark and I suppose I did not realize thecar was moving so rapidly when. I stepped off. I fell and was uuconscious for a short tirne. A, number of men came to my as-*, sistance, and Asa New, of Indianapolis, who was among them„: accompanied me home."

This morning Dr. C. M. Gibbs,„ after a thorough examination, concluded that Mr. Sample was not injured internally, but that three ribs were broken, his head bruised and one finger thrown out of place. Mr. Sample wili be at his home until he im-. proves.
