VOTING LAW IS TOPIC IN STATE (Oontinyed From Page 1) Investigations in Vanderurg and Madison Counties after the primary last spring brought to light many irregularities in absent voting. Woman Leads Move A determined effort, led by Mrs. Ella Van Sickle Gardiner, a Marion County Representative, is to be made to get through some kind of a compulsory voting law. A number of lawyers are assisting Mrs. Gardiner in drawing up a bill which would prescribe penalties for iailure to vote. Mrs. Gardiner has tudied the plan of New Zealand, -ire a compulsory voting law increased the percentage of ballots cast from 51 per cent before the law went into effect to more than 90 per cent. Wilbur F. Wakeman, member of the Union League Club of New York -TSty, author of a resolution favoring compulsory voting which was placed before the club, has written Mrs. Gardiner a letter commending her for efforts along this line. Opinions Given Opinions expressed by legislators on both primary and absent voting laws: SEN. W. F. HODGES, Gary. 1 do not favor repeal of the State-wide primary law, believing that the voters of the State have the right to determine the nominees on their party ticket. I do not believe that the absent voters law has been abused in our county.”

Ik Down The Gift of a HOOVER Makes Christmas a Day to Be Remembered NO HOUSEKEEPING convenience ever invented can excel the marvels of this revolutionary new Hoover Sweeper. It is 131% more efficient in the ordinary cleaning time than even previous Hoovers were, due to the new Hoover “agitator,” exclusive with Hoover, and a 50% greater suction power. The new Hoover will cut out all the old drudgery of cleaning with a broom—a back-breaking task that usually takes up most of the “cleaning day.” The Hoover will save the rugs, too, because it removes the destructive, flint-like dust particles from the base of the pile. What gift could you buy that would be more appreciated than this daily reminder of your thoughtfulness? Hoover Dusting Tools $12.50 a Set (Pictured in Column to Right) These are as marvelous in their efficiency as the Greater Hoover. They make the Hoover almost human in its cleaning of dirt and dust from draperies, mattresses, upholstery, furniture, automobile cushions and other places hard to get at ordinarily. Give the Hoover for Christmas—Pay for It a Little Each Month Just pay $6.25 down, and we’ll deliver the Hoover in time for Christmas. Then pay only $6.20 a mouth (or if you buy the dusting tools too, the monthly payment will be $7.20). Come in and see this wonderful sweeper today—you’ll be convinced of its value.
