iSTATE READY \ FOR OPERATION OF SUFFRAGE Probable That Separate Balloting Provision Will Be Disregarded. ELECTION COSTS JUMP Indiana is prepared for* operation of the national suffrage amendment. Necessary legislation to provide for full suffrage for women was enacted by the legislature In thei special session which adjourned July SO. Senate bill No. 406, introduced on the third day of the session by Senator Dobyns, makes provision for the printing of sufficient ballots to provide for women voting in every precinct of the state. Indiana women were granted the right to vote for presidential electors Feb. 6. 1919, and provision was made at that time for their registration. However, by that act, provision was trade that separate ballots and ballot boxes should be provided for women citizens in each precinct, and it was stated that provision should be made for separate registration of women. Whether or not the provisions of that act must be carried out, now that full suffrage has been granted, la to be determined. PROVIDE FOR WOMEN. By the provisions of the Dobyns bill, boards of commissioners in the various counties were authorized to change precinct boundaries in their respective counties to provide facilities for the increased number of electors due to the enfranchsemeat of women. Such changes, however, if made in the year 1920, were not to be made later than Aug. 8. ✓ Members of the state board of election commissioners stated today that the uee of separate ballots for women will be dispensed with, as well as separate voting places. It is thought that with extra clerks, and the use of both voting rfachines and the Australian ballot, voting may be speeded up In some of the larger precincts. By dispensing with separate voting places a large additional expense will be saved. It is estimated by members of the board that the granting of the ballot to women in Indiana will mean an additional 25 per cent In the cost of the election. This will mean an increase in the cost of election next November of approximately $74,000. which added to the cost of the 191S eleetloh, $295,540. will make an expenditure of about $369,540 in the 1920 balloting. NO CHANGES IN' PRECINCTS. No changes in proMnet boundaries this year may be made, as the time limit far such change expired Aug. S. It is estimated nearly 800.000 voters will be added to the Indiana electorate by the ratification of the suffrage amendment. This additional cumber will* not act as a clog in the machinery of the two leading political parties, or of the state board of election coaunissiocers. as plans have been laid for some time, and women's organizations have been under way by the two large parties for the past few months. Additional ballots In the various counties will be ordered by the county board of election cominisisoners on an estimate of the number needed instead of in the usual manner of ordering one and one-half times the number of votes BE PRETTY!

cast for secretary of state in the last preceding general election. An estimate places the number of voters in the state, with the added electorate, at approximately 1,000,000, of whom from 750,000 to 800,000 are women. The estimate places the total number of male voters at 505,391, of which 779,115 are white and 20,765 colored. FIRST STEP TAKEN , RECOGNIZING WOMEN The first step in recognizing Marion county women as voters with complete franchise was taken today by County Auditor Leo K. Fesler, when arrangements were made to register women as well as men Sept. 4 and Oct. 5. Mr. Fesler estimates the new registration will jump from the present poll of 70.000 to from 125,000 or 140,000. "I am informed by republican poll takers that there will be about as many women qualified to register as men,” said Mr. Fesler. The auditor recalled that more men registered In New York City than women, while in Chicago the Vomen out-regis-tered the men. Two yeurs ago the cost of registering the men voters in this couhtry totaled $12,790, but this year it probably will reach $15,000, according to Fesler. Mr. Fesler is of the opinion that women registration officials will be appointed this year, as the inspectors are named by the country commissioners, while each of the tvo leading parties select a clerk. “It will be up to the county chairmen of theMwo leading parties to appoint the women members on the registration board,” said the auditor. Women will be governed by the same rules and regulations as the men at both the registration and the election this fall. Mr. Fesler Is of the opinion that there will be no woman’s party at this time as the only way they could get on the

ballot this fall would be to file as independents or be appointed to fill a vacancy on the ticket of aoy political party now In existence. Under the federal constitutional amendment, the women In Marion county will vote this fall on voting machines and this will cause the county commissioners to purchase approximately thirty new machines at a cost of about $1,200 each. In some of the big voting precincts in the northern part of the county, two voting machines will be used in order to assure a complete vote. ‘‘Of course, the women will vote slowly at this election because they are not as familiar with the voting machines sk the men,” said Mr. Fesler, in explaining that he will' co-operate wifi' all parties In instructing women In the methof handling them. The election two years ago cost $27,000 and the cost this fall will probably reach $30,000, not including machines to/ be purchased. At the election, an Inspector, two Judges and two clerks will be appointed for each precinct and it is certain that both of the leading parties will recognize women as officials this fall. Mr. Fesler estimates there will be
