Indiana, Democrats and Republicans: As the second day of November la so near for all of us, women and men, to cast our votes for the betterment of our country. I am asking all my friends if he or she be a Democrat or a Republican to lay aside all political feeling and vote the ticket that tells you way down In your heart to forever stop the horrors of killing and murdering of men, as we all had to witness the last four or five years, by this f stop War, and to do so we must vote for the League of Nations, and that means vote the Democratic ticket. My friends ,the Republican candidate for president, Mr. Harding, asks you and me not to vote for the League of Nations on account of Article 10. I want to say to you that without Article 10 1n the League, I would be against It. but that Article 10, my friends, is a safeguard for you and me and our nation. My good people, when 150 of the brainiest men in the world; including men ex-President Taft, Mr. Root and Mr. Hughes were authors in framing the League, and now they see that It Is the thing for our great nation to do, but they don't want it done under a Democratic administration, so they have Mr. Harding to tell us that he is against it. That If he Is elected he will consult the best minds in the country for advice as to how to form a world association. Can you beat it? I feel sorry for Mr. Harding, how his leaders make him stagger from one side of the road to the other; he don't know from one day to the other what he will be allowed to say or talk about. Senator Johnson, a Republican leader, in a speech the other day in the city of Chicago, said: "he didn't understand Mr. Harding." So I say a vote for James M. Cox Is a vote for the League and a vote for Harding is a vote for you don't know what. I ask you all, If thero Is a doubt in your mind about the League, to have a heart to heart talk with someone that you know who can explain and make clear the points you don't understand and study it over, and when you learn that the headrf of all of the churches of our country put their O. K. on the League of Nitlons, I have no doubt what your vote will be. By voting for and electing James M. Cox for our next president, I ask you to give him the help to complete what should have been completed and done if President Wilson had had a Demo cratic Congress and Senate to work with him. So whatever you do, my friends, vote and help eloct Thomas Taggart for Senator, for men like Taggart are needed in the Senate, and let me say 0 you my friends, vote for Cox for President. Thomas T. Taggart for Senator, John W. Ewlng for Congress and our country will move along In a progressive and honorable manner; and to make a clean slate, vote for Bomar Traylor and Mlko A. Sweeney.

D7 HOVARD L. RANN THE FALL SKIRT TUE fall skirt Is Ja neat garment which looks a good deal like the spring skirt, but costs more, owing to the European war, which has caused a great scarcity of everything except campaign bunk. The fall skirt was gotten up last February in the heart of Paris, France, and sect over here to be sold to women who do not care to look like any of their neighbors. To the dull and unpractlced eje of man it is hard to tell a new fall skirt of the 1017 model from the one his wife wore twice In the early spring and discarded after making the horrifying discovery that it was three-quarters of an inch too long to be strictly a u-fait There yoiKt a icons. To Ttr facti A lc fCT MAKf Discarded After Making the Horrify. Ing Dlcce very That It Was ThreeQuarter of an Inch Too Long to ' Da Strictly au Fait Is nothing more depressing than a new skirt which is only 75 per cent au fait and folds carelessly about both ankles, instead of tilting back rakishly and blinding the Innocent bystander In both eyes. Great care has been taken, according to the fashion periodicals, to make tho fall skirt so long that It can be worn to church with perfect propriety. By actual measurement it will reach to the top of a 12-inch boot, which will prevent anybody from tripping on it. In fact It is 'estimated that it is going to be harder to trip over one of the new fall skirts than it is to escape the strident voice of the cafe piano player. 1Kb fall Cklrt will be made of anything that costs more than it did last winter, but will" not be guaranteed against defects of workmanship or material. Stripes wlll.be worn a great deal by women who would look better in some solid, neutral tint like black taffeta. Tho nervous, high-voiced Scotch plaid will also be favored by wives whose husbands have learned to suffer in silence. Owing to the increasing hardihood of the American woman, the fall skirt will have the same kind of lining as the silk stocking, but the latter will contain a trifle more material.

DID YOU DREAM OF FIRE? IN REGARD to dreams about fire the mystics are not entirely agreed. They ell seem to agree that simply to dream of a fire is a favorable omen, but some f them attach unfavorable meanings to different circumstances which may arise in connection with the dream fire. Many of them predict that If you dream of a conflagration in which your house or your place of business la burned down, you will have many business troubles, hut will come through them all right Others say that if you seo a fire in which tho burning hsuses have fallen down It Is a most favarable omen and not so good a ono If tho houses still stand. The consensus of opinion I that to see any fire and not get burned by It denotes health, fortune and happiness. To burn yourself in your dreams Is not a favorct'e prognostication, but to dream tbat you touch the fire and are not burned, a most favorable one. Most authorities agree that while to dream of fire is a promise of good luck, it also means that you are likely to have a quarrel with a friend, though some declare that you must see the fire start suddenly to be sure of a quarrel, and all agree that the dispute will be over a trifle. If you extinguish the fire, a surprise is In store for you. To see a sparkling fire on a hearth or In a stove, denotes plenty of money. If a woman builds a fire without any trouble, she will he happy and have many children. If she has difficulty In making the fire burn, the omen is the reverse. The scientists regard tho fire dream simply as a reminiscence from cur nursery days when we were warned not to play with matches and schedule this dream as one of the typical or standard ones. As tho scientists don't entirely agree with the mystics, and the mystics don't entirely agree among themselves with regard to the significance of dreamfire, it would seem to be a case where each of tho rest of us was entitled to his own opinion.

Public, Resentful of Unwarranted Increase, Holds Governor Goodrich and Warren T. McCray Responsible for Law.

DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IS SEEN Indianapolis, Ind. An Increase la taxes amounting to more than $44,000,000 in two years is the price the people of Indiana will pay for what Governor Goodrich said was 'the best tax law ever enacted." As a result the dominant issue in the state campaign is the tax law. Republicans, aside from Governor Goodrich and Warren T. McCray, the Republican gubernatorial nominee, are saying little if anything in defense of the measure, while the Democrats are assaulting It vigorously, promising to repeal It and to place in its stead a law based on the equitable distribution of taxation, restoration of Home-Rule to local communities and decentralization of power. Increase Is Staggering. The Increase In taxation is staggering and is being keenly felt by every taxpayer. In 1919, the first year of the Goodrich law, the total amount levied jumped from 168,367,208.60 collected under the old Democratic law, to $75,615,747.69. Although all figures are not available it is estimated that next year the amount to be collected will reach 1112,805,894.19, or an increase of $44,438,685.59. It is proving exceedingly difficult for Republican orators to explain how the valuation and rate has been increased at the same time and as far as possible they are steering clear of taxation. Governor Goodrich, however, made Ms administration the issue when in an address at Muncie he declared that the Republican, party In Indiana must rise or fall on his record. Mr. McCray immediately began to defend the tax law and the State Highway Commission, which has been charged with wasting' over three-quarters of a million dollars on badly placed contracts, and has literally staked his campaign on the popularity or unpopularity of the Goodrich regime. Offers No Remedy. Mr. McCray has offered in none of his speeches anything of a constructive nature but has repeatedly defended the patched-up tax law, which he had a hand in framing during the. special session. If Mr. McCray could have kept his fingers clear from the special session he probably would not be in such difficult straits as he now finds himself. He was instrumental, however, in having the legislature "legalize" the already Unpopular horizontal increases which had been declared Invalid by the supreme court, and as a result he finds his name linked with Goodrich on the amended tax laws. His participation In legislative affairs and his defense of the result hat irrevocably connected him with the Goodrich administration and there is nothing lef for him but to ride on the record made by the present governor. With resentment against the tax law apparent everywhere the Democratic appeal for a repeal of the measure is gaining terrific momentum. Persons looking for relief from what they Justly believe to be an unfair law have looked In vain to the Republicans and as a result they are flocking to the support of Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, Democratic nominee for governor, who has attacked the statute from top to bottom and who wants it wiped off the slate. Law to be Repealed. Dr. McCulloch has pledged his party to repeal the law and to place In Its stead one based on justice. The Democratic candidates for the state legislature have followed the platform declaration and a popular response has met their declarations. Indications in all parts of the state, with the election only a few days off, point convincingly to the fact that the people will roll up a tremendous protest vote against the Goodrich administration which includes Mr. McCray, and that they will register their faith In Dr. McCulloch and the legislators who are pledged to enact Into laws the things the public fe Is necessary for Its own welfare. SWEEPING VICTORY SEEN BY LEADERS Indianapolis, Ind. A sweeping Democratic victory, both national and state, is predicted by party leaders here who are In close touch with the situation. Reports from all parts of the Union tend to show an irresistible drift to Cox and Roosevelt, the tide having become pronounced after Harding announced at Des Moines that he had definitely turned his back on the league of nations. The sudden flop of men high in the councils of the Republican party has cast consternation in the ranks of the Old Guard leaders. They are doing their utmost to stem the flood, but even the uncertain utterances of Senator Harding on a "new association of nutlons" Is proving of no avail. . Wation Defeat It Seen. Senator Watson is a beaten man, la the opinion of all unbiased political

observers here. Ills long record in the senate with nothing but a string of unwholesome political deals to his credit. Is proving a boomerang and Thomas Taggart is making terrific inroads on his simple stand as a business man. Tagcart Is known throughout the state and the public knows him as a good business man with a record of economy during the short time he was in the senate. Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch and the entire Democratic ticket is assured of election, according to a prevalent belief, the doctor's stand for a business administration that will actually bring about needed reforms, hla pledge to curb extravagance and his clean business record Is arousing powerful support. People are contrasting his brilliant performances overseas where he won the crolx de guerre for bravery under fire with that of his opponent, who Is credited with having made a fortune on the Chicago Board of Trade at the same time, and the balance is well In favor of the Democratic nominee. Resent McCray Advertising. Farmers especially are resentful that Warren T. McCray should pose as a farmer, when he never lived on a farm and when he Is a member of the board of trade. They accuse him of having falsely advertised his campaign and there is a noticeable drift from the following he had built up in two primary drives. Then the Republicans are carrying another aead weight in the person of Ora J. Davies of Kokomo, nominee for treasurer of state. Davies was found short in his accounts while treasurer of Howard county and was only kept on the ticket through the insistence of Watson and McCray. Davies alone, Republicans admit, will seriously impair their chances for victory.

TELLS WHY WOMEN RALLY FOR TAGGART Grace Julian Clarke Pays High Tribute to Senatorial Candidate's Public Record and Personal Worth. Thomas Taggart, taxpayers' economy candidate for United States senator, Is being strongly urged for election by many leaders among the women citizens of Indiana because of his record made on behalf of legislation in which Indiana women were interested. Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke of Irvington, who is credited with originating the plan for the legislative council of Indiana women, and who has been prominent for years as a worker for social and industrial justice and for humanitarian laws in this and other states, says of Mr. Taggart's candidacy: "I am strongly In favor of the election of Thomas Taggart to the United States senate because I want to see an honest man in the seat of Morton and Hendricks, a men of sound judgment, keen insight and business ability of a high ordtr. "Mr. Taggart not only has the faculty of grasping quickly and clearly the salient features of a given situation, but he also knows how to make others sea it with the same clearness. Ha Is Industrious and conscientious, a self-made man with noot of the disagreeable qualities that often characterize such. He is tru to his friends because he Is first of all true to himself; he would despise himself if he did a mean or dishonorable deed. "An Indianapolis minister to whom I was mentioning some of these attributes of the Democratic candidate for the senate, said in reply: T agree with you entirely, and in addition I want to bear testimony to his social charm; he is one of the most lovable men I ever knew. His family relations are admirable. He Is such a man as I like to regard as typical of , the genuine American husband and father.' "Such tributes could be multiplied indefinitely. "The vomen of Indiana remember with special gratitude Mr. Taggart's 1 efforts in behalf of the housing law ' during the session of the 1913 legislature, the final passage of which law was due to his earnest belief In It and his consequent insistence on its being put through." Goodrich and McCray have agreed that the tax law is perfect and that it should stand unchanged, but they seem to be the only ones who hold this view. Farmers in Denton county have lost thousands of dollars through Warren T. McCray's Chicago Board of Trade concern, yet he still Insists that he is a friend of the farmer. Senator Watson still insists that the United States should sign a separate peace with Germany: What a strange contrast that Is to hli famous. "On to Berlin," speech, de livered after the 1918 election when he wanted the "allies to march to Berlin and say, ''sign here.'" Republican leaders have long ago found that it was useless to convert a Democrat to their cause this year. Therefore, rendered desperate by the drift away from them, they are busily spreading propaganda that you won't have time to scratch your ticket. You have one minute in the booth with a voting machine and three with the Australian ballot, so think It over when you art la thero I aad rot far the best xaaa.

BEAUTY DOCTOH'S NEW BUQ Discovers That Woman's Good Lootca Are Regulated Larger by Thermometer. The photographer's schedule disarranged half an hour because it took that long to get tho studio exactly at a temperature of 70 degrees. "And tho thermometer had to reg liter Just that before the woman who made an appointment for thre o'clock would 'consent to pose," he aid. "Women who sit for photographs are very particular nowadays, about tho temperature of the room. Beauty doctors havo discovered that a woman's good looks are regulated largely by the thermometer. Thcrs is a certain degree of heat or cold at which every woman looks her best By experimenting tho beauty specialist haa found the becoming temperature for each of his patrons, and when tho women visit a photographer no power on earth can persuade them to sit in a studio whoso air ii above or below that figure.
