CAST BALLOTS BY MACHINE !N ! COUNTY VOTING Paper Tickets to Be Used i as. a Last Resort, Aver Officials. Voting in Marion county’s 269 precincts will be by machine exclusively, unless recourse has to be taken to •: paper ballots in order to handle the crowds. •; Here are'the instructions for vot;ing by machine or paper ballot, together with the qualifications for voting: 1. Upon entering the curtain-in-closure surrounding the machine, pull the large lever at the left and ■ top of the machine to the right as ’ far as it will go, thus closing the curtain. i| 2. At your left are the “party levers” over the names and symbols of the various parties. Selecting the lever of the party for a majority of whose candidates you wish to vote, pull the lever to the right until the bell rings. This throws down all the keys of the presidential electors and candidates of that party. If you wish to vote the ticket "straight,” this ends the operation, save for opening the curtail}, again by means of the lever with which you closed it. 3. To “scratch,” first pull the lever of the party for a majority of whose candidates you wish to vote .■(as above), thus throwing down all the keys for electoi's and candidates of the party. Then to “scratch” any candidate of that party, push up the key immediate’ r above his or her name and pull - jwn the corresponding key under the candidate for whom you wish to vote.

THE 11n uiAis xii-uLIfS TIMES

U. S. AGENTS TO GUARD ELECTION FORBSTATES Conditions in Indiana Seem to Give Most Cause for Precaution.. Appearance of Oscar R. Luhring, former Evansville (Ind.) politician, now assistant attorney general in charge of the criminal division of the department of justice at Washington, in Indianapolis today was explained by a Washington dispatch to the effect that the government is keeping a close w'atch on the polls in eight states, of which Indiana is one! Luhring, according to the Washington dispatch, came personally to supervise the watch for fraud. Meanwhile, the Democratic state organization has a small army of detectives under command of Sherman Burns, son of William J. Bums, ready to watch points in the state w'here election corruption is expected. Officials said they had been dk>couraging as much as possible the efforts of federal marshals to swear in more deputies during the election because of the additional expense and because of the belief that much of the pre-election talk of frauds has been exaggerated, according to the Washington dispatch. Indiana Most Worried The eight states from which suggestions of trouble have come are: New Jersey, Texas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Montana, Ohio and Alabama. The federal laws prohibit interference with qualified voters and use of armed guards at the polls. If* the department were to go into policing w T ork on a large scale during the election, considerable expense would be involved, it is said, because none of the marshals have forces sufficiently large to watch all the polling places. Asks More Deputies In Texas the trouble is confined to Hidalgo county, where a local machine is said to be dominating the political situation. Alabama trouble is confined to the southern district, James A. Stafford, marshal at Mobile, having wired for permission to increase his staff of deputies in anticipation of trouble at the polls. He was notified to consult with the United States attorney in his district. < Officials said fraud intimations always pour in just a few days before election. Marshals are being instructed to handle the situation without the assistance of the department and to consult with other federal officials in their districts.

Sherman Burns

Sherman Burns, head of the na-tional-detective agency, who is hers to watch for vote fraud on behalf ct the Democratic state committee, received a warning Sunday that four Chicago gunmen were in Indianapolis for the purpose of “getting him.” Some color was given the story by the fact that mysterious men kept a close watch of his rooms at the Claypool during the day. Bums smiled at the warning and had a different intei’pretation of its purpose when one of his operative? followed the man who gave the warning direct from the hotel to the building where George V. Coffin directs the local Republican machine. Burns believes it was an effort to distract his attention from the job of watching for frauds. . Rumors that attempts would be made to vote “repeaters' ’in many wards reached Burns, whose army of men are on the job, mingling with those who were under more than suspicion during the spring primaries. Burns, in conference with Russell Ryan, head of the legal department for the Democratic state committee, has completed plans to guard against frauds, not only in Marion county, but in other cities wheer the purity of the ballot in the past has been under suspicion.

MELLON PICKED TO KEEP JOB IF HOOVER WINS Prophets Starts Choosing Cabinet Officers for Both Candidates* BY LEO R. SACK, United Press Stall Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. s.—Witd conclusion of the campaign today unofficial prophets have begun picking members of the next cabinet All seem agreed that ii fiouvex ,s elected he will continue Andrew W Mellon as secretary of the treasury Ogden L. Mills, under-secretary ot the treasury, also mentioned for the place, is said to desire that Mellon carry on if possible. In the event of Governot Smith's election, Owen D. Young, head oi General Electric, and co-author of the Dawes reparations plan, is mentioned as the Democratic secretary of the treasury. John W. Davis, former ambassador to England, is discussed as Smith’s secretary of state, as is also Norman Davis, who was under-sec-retary of state for Woodrow Wil* son. Borah Might Get Post Hoover’s secretary of state may be Senator William E. Borah and if he refuses the post it may be Dwight W. Morrow, who has achieved distinction as ambassador to Mexico.

Smith, if elected, might invite former Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels to return to that office, and also give Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi an opportunity to become a cabinet officer if he chooses to leave the senate. Another Smith appointee might be Senator Key Pittman of Nevada. Both candidates are supported by such a distinguished group of office holders and former office holders, and likewise citizens who would like to reside in Washington, that neither will difficulty in finding willing material for his official family.
