To aeeore material for atody and discassioa at the efficiency In government institute to be held by the National League of Women Voters in Chicago Dec. 1, 2 and in connection with the convention of the fourth region, comprising seven States, women will probe the reasons male voters have for their failure to vote in the last primary, city and national elections. The fourth region Includes Indiana llEaois, Ohio, Michigan. West Virginia, Kentucky and Wisconsin. Ten cities and five rural dia-ricta in each of these seven States have -been selected for the purpose of getting “why men do not vote" data. Miss Alma Sickler president of the 'lndianapolis League has accepted an as s.gnmeut of the canvass for Indianapolis and will canvass four city precincts selected to give representation of the various classes of citizens in the city. Questionnaire cards have been issued by the league and will be given to the men and women who did not vote in recent elections, to be filled out. The card contains a list of reasons for not voting. The non-voting individual Is asked to check the reason he had for not casting his vote or to write such reason if not listed. The idea is an innovation in the annals of tne league and promises to be a big undertaking in local precincts, says Miss Sickler asin her own precinct tlere were 200 persons not voting which wonld mean that approximately 800 cards may have to be distributed, and collected by the Indianapolis League workers. That the data will be quite representative and a real contribution to the discussion is evidenced by the fact that In each State surveys will be made in districts including the largest city, the State capitol and a number of small cities, towns and rural districts. With the largest city in Indiana, for example, shows will indicate what the conditions are in cities of similar size in other States which mieht not be selected as survey centers. Miss Helen C. Benbridsre of Terre Haute, chairman of the Indiana Department for Efficiency in Government is in charge of the survey to be made in this State, in the five days, Oct. 17 to 22. All ret * rts are to be completed and sent in on Satnrday to the State chairman.

Asked why only men would he qnesticr.„,j about their voting. Miss Henbridge answered “that full suffrage for women was too recent a privilege to make data on their voting records of any real valne or significance.” She further explained that the “why men do not vote” canvass is one of the results of the League of Women Voters’ belief that the enfranchisement of women should bring into the electorate a Dew element with a characteristic woman's point of view, and that women voters should study public questions not as good citizens, only, but as women citizens. In working for greater efficiency "in governmental structure and administration and for stricter law enforcement, women can render invaluable service, iherefore a department for efficiency in government was organized to devote itself to such subjects. The Indiana cities chosen for making the survey are Indianapolis. Ft. Wayne. Terre Haute. South Bend, Michigan City, East Chicago, Bloomington. Bern. Anderson, Marion. Howe, Hagerstown. Aurora and New-' burgh. Rural districts in three counties, Tippecanoe, Fayette and Jasper, will be surveyed unde* the direction of League Chairmen Mrs. A. T. Stpart of Lafayette. Mrs. Christian Eby, Connersville, and Mrs. Ora T. Ross of Rensselaer. It la expected that unusually interesting as well as valuable information will be secured during this canvas. INDIANA LEAGUE NOTES. Mrs. Charles Arthur Carlisle of South Bend, chairman of the State membership drive, which was to have closed Oct. 15, has issued a bulletin to all league workers extending the time of the drive to Nov. 1 but requiring a report on membership and the paying of membership dues by Oct. 20. Mrs. A. S. Brown of Clay City has accepted the appointment of eha ; rman of the Fifth district tendered her by the State president, Mrs. A. H. Beardsley.

SAYS DEAL OF SHANK, JEWETT f HOLDS STAKE Garvin Represents Congressional Job Plum Sought by Mayor. SEES MACHINE AT WORK A deal between Samfuel Lewis Shank and Mayor Charles W. Jewett whereby Shank gets in good with the Jewett machine this fall on the condition that he support Jewett for Congress next year was revealed by Thomas E. Garvin, Democratic candidate for city judge, at a meeting of the Democratic women of the Fifteenth ward yesterday afternoon at the ward headquarters at 1704 West Michigan street. Mr. Garvin pointed out that In making this “deal” Mr. Shank had given his supporters during the primary a ; “cold shoulder” and was conducting his campaign under the supervision of “the same machine which has allowed the streets for four years to get in their present disgraceful condition.” W.r. John W. Trenck also made an address. Mrs. Francis McQuistlon, ward chairman, presided. That the witness chair in the police 1 court be pnt into active nse agaiu was strongly advocated by Mr. Garvin who declared that he was entirely ont of sympathy with the present style of conducting the cakes “in a little circle” facing the presiding judge in such a fashion that the proceedings were entirely inaudible to persons on the first row of seats. MAN WHO CAN MAINTAIN LAW HELD TRUE FRIEND, j “The Shank campaign cry, that Lew | Shank is the friend of the working man, has been slightly distended,” Mr. Garvin i asserted, “for the man who in strenuous ! times can maintain law and order is the | true friend of the working man. The man who gives yon cheap potatoes and at the I same time makes the city unsafe for your I wife to go to the corner grocery after | dark is not your friend. And the real | friend is the man who. while he may give ; yon cheap potatoes but few times during | the year, gives you the security of your | life and your family’s life—and such a i friend is Boyd M. Ralston and not Lew j Shank.” ; Mr. Garvin pointed ont advantage should be taken of opportunity to elect a plain. ; straightforward* business men such as . Mr. Ralston and not be "bamboozled, as has happened in the past.” He asserter: that a candidate should be weighed by what he has done in the past and not by ! indefinite promises of future “friendships.” j “Mr. Shank was nominated because the people were opposed to Mr. Howe j and the clique which he ' represented ■ rather than beeause the people were strongly in favor of Mr. Shank as the nominee,” the speaker said. “So we have the nominee recognized as the opponent of Mr. Howe rather than the candidate of the Republican party Looking comparatively at Mr. Shank and Mr. Ral ston the people cannot fail to realize the opportunity afforded to choose between a clean candidate audsa candidate that is otherwise.”

DISCREDITS “M I'D-THROWING.” Mr. Garvin asserted that there Is a place in politics for both clean men and women and that in this belief he was on the Democratic ticket. He discredited the practice of “mud-throwing.” saying that he believed in letting the actions of the man speak for him. "The reward of a good, wholesome ad ministration, such as the entire Democratic ticket pledges, will be rearing your children in a city that is progressing to a higher station —which is the goal of all parents.” Mrs. Trenck said that the registration proved that the women are iu earnest for the test man, which means a better Indianapolis, and also the leaving out of politics—and that such a man is represented in Mr. Ralston. POWER OF WOMEN * 1 CONVERT THE UOI BTITL. “Women,” she said, “have the power to convert the doubtful. This Is a case of having the right on our side and when the right is on year side you always win. Mrs Martha Yoh Alargon, Democratic candidate for city clerk, and Mrs. Maude Swift Anthony, Democratic candidate for city- council, are two excellent women, well qualified for the offii-es. They are women who wilt have tho welfare of the city at heart.” BURN INCENDIARY ALIVE. PARIS, Oct 15. —Discovering Andre Caron fleeing after he had fired the barn of Mayor Bullot of Vandelicourt, the citizens bound the young man and threw him into the flames.

‘RUMP’ MINERS UNION AIM OF KANSAS MINERS Illinois Men Pledge Allegiance to New Organization Headed by Howat. FITTSBURG, Kan., Oct. 15.—First definite action toward organizing a national “rnmp” miners union will be taken here today by mine union leaders, followers of Alexander Howat. who was suspended as president of District 14, United Mine Workers, announced. John Fleming, left in charge of the district headquarters when Howat went to Jail for violating the Kansas Industrial Court law, announced an Insurgent union against the international organization led by President John L. Lewis will be formed from followers of Howat in Kansas and miners dissatisfied with Lewis leadership in Illinois and other States. Illinois miners already have pledged allegiance with Howat miners in Kansas Fleming declared. - Fleming, still refusing to turn district headquarters over to the appointees, denounced the international president as a "traitor.” He declared that action taken at mass meetings of miners who convened to decide on Ilowat or Lewis leadership, shows the new organization will start with a large membership from the southern Kansas fields.
