This is exactly what the voting machine will look like when you face it tomorrow (except for size, of course).

When you enter your polling place, you will sign your name on the voters’ poll list.

When you are admitted to

the voting booth, you must grasp the red handle of the curtain lever and pull it to the right as far as it will go. This closes the curtain around you and unlocks the machine for voting. At the left of the machine are the party levers. Pull the lever containing the name and emblem of your party toward the right until the bell rings and let it go back. This will turn down all the voting pointers in your party row.

, and round up tardy | voters with hired taxis. The voting in Marion County is expected to be so close that neither County Democratic Chairman Ira Haymaker nor Republican Chairman James L. Bradford are predicting victories by very large majorities. . Candidates on the state tickets closed théir campaigns today with final appeals to the voters. Lieut. Gov. Henry F. Schricker, Democratic Governor| candidate, said: “I await the verdict of tomorrow’s election with utmost confidence, believing that the majority of the people, regardless of their politics, will approve the Democratic program.” Hillis Confident

Glen R. Hillis, thel Republican Governor candidate, said: “I can report to you now that the program of the ‘Republican party has been approved and accepted by the people. Tomorrow I will be elected Governor of Indiana.” Mr. Hillis has been campaigning against “waste and racketeering in the State Administration” while Mr. Schricker has been campaigning with pledges to expand reforms started under present | Democratic administrations and correct inequaliti in the tax structures. U. Senator Sherman Minton has been campaigning for re-elec-tion as a 100 per cent New Dealer, promising to uphold President Roosevelt on every issue, Raymond E, Willis, the Repubfican Senatorial candidate, has been urging a return to ‘sane government in Washington,” criticizing the New Deal program severely, - John Zahnd, candidate for President on the Greenback Party ticket, issued a statement today, calling upon his organization to support Mr. Bchricker for Governor. “I believe the best interests of the members of our Hed in this state would best be served by electing Mr. Schricker,” he said.

DIGGERS FOR WORMS RUIN DITCH-BANKS

SHEFFIELD, Ala., Nav. 2 (U. P.). Fishing, a popular sport in this Tennessee Valley region, has brought Chief of Police Carl Ikard & new headache. “Fishermen seeking worms have | gost the city hundreds of dollars ‘py cutting away ditch-banks in ~gearch of bait,” Mr. Ikard said, and warned anglers that any persons found digging up banks of ditches without police jurisdiction would be prosecuted for damaging city property.

Azana Dead

Manuel Azana . . . better known as Premier than as President.

Rose From Clerkship to Head Spain, Overthrown By Franco.

VICHY, Nov. 4 (U. P.).—Former President of the Spanish Republic Manuel Azana y Diez cied during the night at Montauban, where he has been seriously ill for the past several weeks. Azana, champion of the democracy in Spain, became the second, and last, prseident of the Spanish republic on May 10, 1936. He resigned in exile in Paris on Feb. 26, 1939, just prior to French recognition of the regime of Generalissimo Francisco Franco. Since then Azana had lived in France, once again the “forgotten man’ he was during the later stages of the civil war in Spain, and even more chscure than he was before his meteoric rise to political power during the revolution that created the short-lived Spanish republic. Azana was born to wealthy parents .at Alcala de Nenares in 1880 and educated at the Augustinian Academy at El Escorial and then became a government clerk. A play= wright and.au author who had been secretary of a literary society for 17 years, Azana forged his way into the limelight of European politics by his skillful and forceful handling of a delicate domestie=situation undaunted by the relentless opposition of the clerical and monarchist elements. : The so-called radical reforms which were put through in Spain as a republic, such as dissolution of the Jesuits, the confiscation of church property and the confiscation of the estates of ex-grandees for distribution among the peasants, were instituted largely through the efforts and persistence of this man, who was regarded as an amateur by his more experienced opponents, but who became

known as Spain’s champion of Jeffersonian democracy.

Nominee Pledges Self to Seek Permanent Ban On 3d Term.

White House at the end of his third

term. “In view of the fact that within three months of his first assumption of power he broke the pledges which he had called ‘solemn covenants with the people” the fate of a .renunciation of a fourth term, hased only on implication nd indirection, is certain,” Mr. Willkie said. “He would have us believe, though he doesn’t expressly say it, that he will be content with just one more term, “But' if once our common law against a third term be repealed, there is no further law to restrain him or any of his successors, elected, hereditary or appointed, from an indefinite number of terms. And that repeal of that law will be final. It ‘can never be revoked. “When elected, in order to prevent any subsequent demonstration lof such ambitious views, in my first message to Congress I shall recommend that they submit a constitutional amendment limiting the time any one President may serve to eight years or less.” Mr. Willkie will vote at a schoolhouse near his Fifth Ave, apartment here early tomorrow morning. He will receive election reiurns at his Commodore Hotel headquarters tomorrow night. In a formal statement replying to Mr. Roosevelt's Cleveland speech, Mr. Willkie said “the Saturday night broadcast of the third-term candidate reminds .me of the old saying that an acre of performance is worth a whole land of promise. “He (Mr. Roosevelt) echoed my very strenuous pleas for unity, but the echo came back thick and garbled by the interference of nearly; eight years of discrepancy his promise and his per- »

g his final major rally, . Willkie Saturday night told a pack Madison Square Garden meeting that he wants to be “the servant of the people.” The nominee declared that President Roosevelt, speaking on the same platform four years ago, said: “1 should like to have it said of my second administration that in it these forces (selfishness and lust for power) met their master.” Mr. Willkie said he stood with Lincoln in the belief that “as I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master.”

EIGHT LOSE LIVES IN AUTO ACCIDENTS

By UNITED PRESS * Automobile accidents claimed the lives of at least eight Hoosiers over

the Democratic National Committee because he opposed a third term, but he remains as New York State party chairman and has announced that he would vote the ticket straight. . Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia, chairman of the National Committee of Independent Voters, issued a campaign-end statement asserting that many American corporations had German affiliates and were supporting Mr. Willkie in expectation of certain privileges and because of their German investments. “Here they are,” he said. “General Motors, Ford Motor Co., Inter-

national Telephone & Telegraph Co., Westinghouse, RemingtonRand, Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey and Socony-Vacuum Oil Co., Inc., among others. “The strange part of it is that by those in the politico-utility circles who are the new masters of the present Republican Party—I say present because such control surely cannot last—the various assignments in the ‘U. 8S. Inc. are discussed with a great deal of glee and happy anticipation.

‘Girdler for Himmler’

“For instance, as I have already stated, Girdler is to be the Himmler (Germany’s secret police head) while handsome Bruce Barton (Republican candidate for the U. S. Senate in New York) is to be the Goebbels.” President William Green of the American Federation of Labor reiterated the non-partisan position of that organization and urged his followers to vote their own convictions. President John L. Lewis of the Congress of Industrial Oragnizations said labor would decide the election and should choose between its own ledearship and “the temporary leadership of an erratic warmongering politician.” He predicted Mr. Willkie’s election. Half-forgotten in this headlong battle for the presidency are contests for 36 Senate seats, 435 seats in the House of Representatives, the Governorships of 35 states and the

If you desire to vote a “straight” ticket, pull the red curtain lever back and leave the booth. If you wish to “scratch,” however, push up the pointer over the candidates you wish to eliminate from your

must be known before the mosaic of our political €omplexion as of Nov. 5, 1940, can be known. Only less impartant than the battle for the White House is that for control of the House of Representatives, it slipped from Republican hands im the 1930 general election in the first of a series of Democratic political triumphs which continued in faster tempo through 1936. Republicans checked that trend in 1938 by sharply reducing Democratic majorities in House and Senate and regaining executive control in many states which had béen riding with the Roosevelt tide. With only one-third of the Senate regularly at stake this time plus four seats to complete irregularly interrupted terms, it will not be possible for Republicans to regain control of the upper House. But all House seats are on the election block and Republican leaders are driving for a majority. The House would be more than a mere consolation prize for the G. O. P. if President Roosevelt were elected again.

Nose te-Nose in New York

Bitter charges of falsification of issues, dictatorial ambition, unholy alliances and intrevention of foreign powers for and against the principal contestants marked or marred this campaign as the angriest in recent American political history. The electorate is aroused and notably large registrations not only foretell the largest popular vote ever recorded anywhere but tend also to obscure the outcome. Political managers cannot be certain in their own minds whether thousands of hitherto non-voters- took the trouable to register this time to vote for Mr. Roosevelt or for Mr. Willkie —or against one or the other. But as the runners near the tape the forecast today is for a popular vote photo finish. A large bloc of big, industfial balance-of-power states is marked doubtful in many polls and surveys. So listed by some competent observers are New York, with 47 electoral votes, Pennsylvania, with 36, and Ohio with 26—three of the largest. Republican hopes for Willkie depend mostly on winning those states.

He will cross the Hudson by ferry to make a three-minute speech at Newburgh, seat of Orange County, then motor to Kingston, seat of Ulster County, which is not in Mr. Fish’s district, for a threeminute speech. Returning to the district, he will speak at Rhinebeck, in Dutchess, his native county. After dinner at Hyde Park house, he will go to Poughkeepsie, largest town in the district and the seat of Dutchess County, for a five-minute speech.

Washington, Mr. Roosevelt scheduled a telephone conference with Secretary of State Cordell Hull on developments in the international situation. Mr. Roosevelt went to Washington from Cleveland, where he delivered his last major political speech Saturday night, to receive diplomatic reports. Reminiscent of campaign journeys of 1932 and 1936, Mr. Roosevelt had with him his secretary and trusted advisor, Marvin H. McIntrye.

Cleveland Saturday night, -he told tens of thousands wildly cheering men, women and children that: “There is a great storm raging now; it makes things harder for the world. And that storm, which did not start in this land of ours, is the true reason that I would like to stick by these people of ours until we reach the clear, sure footing ahead. “We will make it—make it before the next term is over. . “We will make it, and the world, we hope, will make it, too. “When this term is over there will be another President, and many more Presidents in the years to come, and I think the word ‘President’ will be a word to cheer the hearts of common men and women everywhere.” There was "prolonged cheering when Mr. Roosevelt asked for “your vote of confidence” so that the American people might march forward to “a future which holds the fulfillment of our hopes for real freedom, real prosperity, real
