HEAVY VOTE BY WOMEN IS SEEN; VISION BROADER League Head, However, Fears Many Think Registration Was Sufficient, Will Indiana women go to the polls Tuesday with anew sense of their responsibility in voting? Will they show a change in their attitude toward the ballot, since they first received it? Three Indianapolis women leaders said today they believe they will. A fourth woman. Mrs. S. E. Perkins, pre-ident of the Indianapolis League of "Women Voters, is '‘hoping agttinst hope." The Get-Out-the-Vote campaign conducted by the League of Women Voters, with other organizations cooperating. has been highly successful, Mrs. W. T. Barnes, president of the Indiana League, said. Women’s Vision Broader ‘‘Women have a much broader vision now than they had when they tirst voted.” she stated. ‘‘As they learn to think in terms of common interest they are more careful about how they use their ballot. As far as I can judge, women are less partisan thain men.” Mrs. Perkins, however, felt small attendance at meetings staged by the league for the purpose of letting women learn the candidates and campaign Issues, indicated a lethargic attitude. Think They Voted in September ‘‘lf all the men were vitally Interested, and would vote, women 'would, too,” she said. “We had a large registration, but many persons thought they voted when they registered. We seem to be unable to reach that element, because it is not really Interested.” ‘‘l believe more women will vote this year than ever before because women have been devoting much time to the study of political problems,” Mrs. E. C. Rumpler, president of the Seventh District Republican Women’s Club. said. ‘‘With increased information regarding national affairs, with anew responsibility for the welfare of women and children, and a deeper appreciation of their citizenship, the majority of women will cast ballots that are the result of mature consideration of policies and candidates.”

Large Vote Forecast Mrs. John W. Trenck. president of the Seventh District Democratic Women's Clubs, predicted a very large women's vote. She said she believed 95 per cent of the women with whom she has come in contact would vote. “There has been quite a bit of .indifference among the women in "he past.” she said. “This year, they feel their responsibilities. Women are less'partisan than men. They fight for principles, and they are not easily swayed.”

THE ATTITUDE OF ROMAN CATHOLICS TOWARD THE BIBLE Even at th- present day. in this enlightened a*e. throughout our own great countr* and here in Indiana, where • Caihoiu- miseinnarie* were the first to tea h (the holy Scriptures, it is passing strange that there are some of our feiiow citizens —who ire led by false propaganda to believe that the Catholic Church and the Catholic people ar-- opposed to the Bible. The Catholic Church cherishes the Bible. ALB OK IT. She believes the Holy Bible to be the word of God —not a mere human •document. She believes the Bible contains no errors. Catholics reverence the Bible so muh that they rise and stand when it is read, and kisa it devoutly after reading it. The Church Came First It is well to remember that the Catholic Church exist and before the Bible. it was she who gave the Bible to the world. The sac-ed book is her compilation. The New Testament was not even thought of when the Church was established. Not a line of , it was written for years after, and all of it was l.ot compiled until several centuries after the Church was founded and flourishing. Who Assembled the Bible? The Church assembled what were considered the sacred writings of th<* Jews, joined them with the writings of the Apostles and Evangelists and by her Divine authority pronounced the combined work, ibe Ribie to be the word of God. Without the Church there would have been no Bible. THE FIRST PRINTED BOOK WAS THE • CATHOLIC BIBLE PRINTED BY JOHN 1 GIT IN BERG. AND KNOWN AFTERWARD AS THE MAZAKIN BIBLE. Catholics ar- exhorted, admonished and encouraged to read the Bible by Popea. -v. 'See brief uMr-ss by • Pope Paul VIII to Archbishop and Florence, in indulge! anted by Leo XIII to all • who read the Bible for a quarter of an ; hour each day.) Do-s that look like forbidding reading the Bible'/ Treasure the Bible • THE MOST HIGHLY VALUED TREASURE OF EVERY FAMILY LIBRARY. AND THE MOST FREQUENTLY USED SHOULD BE THE HOLY SCRIPTURES. We hope that no family can be found • among us without a correct version of the Holy Scriptures." (The Catholic Bishops of Amcru a in the Third Plenary Council ol Baltimore). There are 22 Catholic Church-a in Indianapolis and Marion County. The Epistles land Gospels are read at every mass celebrated in the Catholic Church, and the Missal from which the mass is said is from the Holy Scriptures. Catholic publishing houses print or circulate hundreds ol thousands of copies of the Bible in all countries ill all languages.

■WE'LL WIN’ SAY ALL ON VOTE EVE Candidates and Chairmen of Three Parties Claim Victory for Tickets Tuesday,

With Republicans, Democrats and j progressives claiming victory, Indi- ! ana political leaders today put the | issues up to the voters to decide | when they go to the polls Tuesday. Ed Jackson, Republican nominee i for Governor, charged with being a j member of the Ku-Klux Klan, is j backed and financed by the Klan. |He is touring the State in D. C. i Stephenson s automobile and with i Stephenson's chauffeur. Stephen- : son. former “old man” of the Klan, admits he is contributing heavily to I Jackson’s campaign. Walter Bossert, grand dragon in Indiana, has issued edicts urging Klansmen to | stand together and vote as Klansmen. irrespective of party lines. The j Klan has contributed heavily to Jackson's campaign, although nothi ing has been given to the rest of the Republican State ticket, according to Clyde Walb, Republican State chairman. McCulloch Opposed Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, Democratic candidate for Governor, out--1 spokenly anti Klan, has pledged his efforts in ousting the order from Indiana. His campaign slogan is 1 "Back to Honesty.” Leaders of both parties predict i i Hoosier voters will jump party lines j and ballot on Klan and anti-Klan. Jackson in a statement issued to- i day said: “I approach the end of the cami paign in the fullest confidence that 1 the complete Republican ticket, headed by that great statesman. Calvin Coolidge, will he given an overwhelming expression of confidence j at the polls Tuesday.” What Democrats Say McCulloch said he would close his campaign tonight and would issue a ■ statement Monday. Walter S. Chambers. Democratic State chairman, predicts: “Indiana will lie carried for both State and national tciket. Not less than three and probably six eon gressmen will be added to the pr**sent Democratic delegation of five. Indiana gave a Republican plural itv two years ago averaging less than 20,000. before either the national or State scandals liecame public. Two years ago the State gave* Ralston a plurality of 35.000, although on the Saturday l*efore even bets were made that Beveridge would have 40.000 plurality. This year bets •ire even on Indiana, which indicates a Democratic victory.” Clyde A. Wall), Republican State chairman: "Coolidge will win by a safe majority. The heavy -ural vote for Jackson will overcome the Democratic • lead in the cities, and Jackson will l*> returned the winner at the polls.” Situation Involved Schuyler A. Hass, Republican Seventh District chairman: "The situation is so involved that j it is more or less a matter of guess • work, probably more so than In for- , rner elections, because there are so many cross currents here. Unless all of our calculations fail, the Seventh district will go from 15,000 to 25,000 Republican.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Reginald Sullivan, Democratic Seventh district chairman: “Marion county is going Democratic for every man on the ticket." George V. Coffin, Marion county Republican chairman: "I have not changed iny opinion | in any way and the county will go for Jackson and the county ticket by from 15,000 to 25.000.” Ryan Is Confident Russell J. Ryan .Marion county "I am not giving any estimate, but the county will go safely Democratic for every man on national, State and county ticket.” Mrs. Vivian Wheat craft, Republican State vice chairman: "I am confident of the success of the Republican ticket in Indiana, both national and Suit*-. Never in any campaign have the women of Indiana been so vitally interested nor cooperated so loyally. To the Women adherents, in no small meas use, will he due the success at the polls I so confidently expect for the Republican ticket.” La Follettc Statement A. F. Bentley, La Follctte Proj gressivo State chairman: “Both Democrats and Republicans ! claim they arc going in car it In * (liana. It is certain one of th*-se j claims is wrong. | “The great certainty in this elec- { tion. both in Indiana and it! the Xa | tion. is that th*- cause *.f progressivism wins We at ** certain of from • ight to twelve States and that we will make amazing gains in both ; branches of Congress from twentyfive States. Indiana alone will * led from six to eight Congressmen pledged to the progressive legislative program. "In Indiana I will not predict the outcome further than this: In great numbers of active volunte* er workers in every county, combined with the certainty of th*- tremendous sil ent vote, compels ns to think La Follettc can beat both Ci>o!idg and Davis and carry the State.” Women Against Tariff Mrs. A. I*. Flynn, 1 s-mocratic State vice chairman: “After having visited every district in th** state I find women are awak- ! ening to the fact that tin- Fonlney i MeC’umber tariff bill is a tax and i that they are paying it. That alone will cause a Davis victory in the State. Honesty in State government as an issue alone will elect the Democratic State ticket, by 150,000 nut ; Jortv." j Mrs. F. H. Russ, Marion County I Democratic vice chairman: “Our womans’ organization has I done splendid work. We are getyag women voters because we have mot's to offer Our entire comity ticket will go over. After thoroughly Investigating the record of every candidate I ant unable to find one j that I can not ask the women of Marion County to support.” Ticket as It Stands Now A legal battle brought about by petition of both Democratic and Republican county chairman to oust smaller tickets from the ballot- resulted In finding many ilegal petitions being presented to the clocI rion commission. As the ballots now 1 stand the following tickets are represented: Republican, Democratic, Socialist, Prohibition, 1,.a Collette, Progressive and the Workers Party, j William 11. tlemy, Marion County prosecutor and Homer Elliott, 1 United States District attorney, have issued warning that any irregularities at the polls will be vigorously prosecuted. Pin Hope on Coolidge According to statements of both ; Democrtl and Republican leaders, j McCulloch will lead the Democratic ticket and Coolidge the Republican. Republican leaders admit Jackson will run behind the President and I many are basing their prediottions | for Jackso nvictory on tho hopes j Coolidge plurality will carry the 1 State ticket over. , Conservatives, however, place the Coolidge plurality at approximately 50,000. Democratic leaders are claiming the State by as high as 150,000 with McCulloch topping the list. Democratic conservatives, however, believe the vote will be close, probably from 25,000 to 50,000 for McCulloch and Davis.

G. 0. P. WOMEN VEXED Reported Thai Men Will Serve, on Election Boards. Democratic county headquarters today received reports from many precincts that Republican women who had expected to serve as judges and clerks on election boards Tuesday are disgruntled because they have learned men are to take their places. Democratic leaders said their workers have heard that instead of naming women who had served as clerks on the registration boards George V. Coffin. Republican county chairman, has appointed men, in many cases known M Klansmen.

BRACKEN DENIES ALL CHARGES GF' ABJT.-GEN. SMITH Says Attorney General Held Bills Could Not Be Paid, State Auditor Robert Barcken today made formal reply to charges of Adjt. Gen. Harry B. Smith, in letters to national guardsmen, that Bracken was to blame*for the nonpayment of back pay to members of the guard. Bracken said: "Upon my induction into office on Dec. 1, 1922, I found vouchers from the department of the adjutant general amounting to $22,000, covering bills for the preceding fiscal year, upon which payment was refused, and which the attorney general afterward held could not be paid for the reason that they were of a former fiscal year. The adjutant general's balance at the close of the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 1923, was $216.20, and more than SIOO,OOO of bills were not paid for lack of sufficient funds. “I have consistently held under the law that departments should live within the appropriation and i any unpaid hills can only be paid" by a specific appropriation of the next Legislature. In November, 1923, I requested that the board of accounts made an examination of the department of the adjutant general with a view to determining the amount of unpaid bills. That examination is in process and has not been completed.”

Snider, according ;to Rikhoff, complained that Helm j has been talking in favor of Democrats. "I told Snider that Helm was ao ' efficient officer and that there was nothing wrong in him being a Demi ocrat. I told him that I had received no complaint about Helm’s police ] work, and that as long as he coni tinned to do as well as he has for two years on the’Avenue’ he would ; remain there.” Rikhoff said that a Democratic pol- | itician today asked him to relieve two patrolmen from police duty election day so they could work for a I certain Democratic politician.
