APPROVE 338 POLLING SITES

But No Qne Knows How Much Selection Means to Ruling Party.

By HARRY MORRISON

The County Commissioners today lapproved location of 338 of the County’s 341 polling places, but no one has satisfactorily answered the ‘question of how much good it does’ the party in power to name the locations.

Under the Indiana election laws, the Commissioners are supposed to |designate polling places. As a matter: of expediency, they turn the {job over to precinct inspectors. Precinct inspectors are named by (the party casting the highest num|ber of votes in the county for Sec-

(election. Although James M. Tucker, preslent Secretary is a Republican, he |did not carry Marion County. Thus, the Democratic County Committee names the precinct inspectors.

Rental Counts, Too

| Under a general practice, the party in power will seek to consolidate its position by offering to rent a polling place from someone who may “swing” a few more votes its way. There's the matter of prestige and also the $7.50 rental. | Thé polling place can also be put in the part of the precinct where the votes of the party in power are concentrated on the theory that it will be easier to “get out the vote.” Although polling places are many times located this way, some Court House scoffers hoot at the idea, saying it doesn't make any difference at all. b They say, as a matter of fact, that this often leads to voters procrastirating. They feel the booth is so close to home they put off voting until it is sometimes too late.

Favors ‘Long Haul’ “I've had people tell me,” said one party worker, “not to bother picking them up. They say they'll get there all right, it's so close. Then they never show up.

“Give me a nice long haul in an automobile any .time. It may cost a little more, but you're a lot more | sure of your vote that way.” | The three missing polling places | will be designated sometime next week, according to Cletus Seibert, Chief Deputy County Clerk. About half the polling places are in a

different spot this year than they were in 1938.
