Question of Whether Bull

Moose Watchers May Be Allowed at Polls Unde-! cided by Authorities, Wlio Fear the Law.

(Special to The Tuu'. I Crown Point. In.!.. Nov. 4 The -ju'.s-tion has arisen during tht last two days whpther the buil moose party is allowed to have watchers In the polling places when the votes art1 beincr counted. The law is very explicit on the subject and if takn literally will deprive the moose party of watchers at the polls. It. Is not known whether any objection would be made to the third party having watchers at the ballot canvass or not, but the moose watchers themselves are amenable under the law if they persist in entering the polling places as watchers. The election law provides that each of the four political parties having cast the hiehest vote at the election last preceding shall be entitled to one watcher at each precinct. As the bull moosers cast no vote at the preceding- election it Is the opinion of the lenal fraternity that they accordingly are not entitled to a watcher. The law provides a fine of $5"0 for any person entering; an election room unless properly authorized, and this will be what the bull moos-e watchers will be liable to If the law is carried out to its strictest sense of the word. It Is not thought any protest will be made by either the republican or democratic parties against the bull moose watchers. th?y being anxious to (rive them a square deal and leave no chance for another cry of stealth and fraud.

WHAT ROOSEVELT SAID.

j Edna Goodrich. j There Is a rumor abroad that Edj na Goodrich,, the laest divorced wlfa ( of Nat Goodwin, is soon to marry j Ralph Herz, the comedian. Miss ; Goodrich is playing In vaudeville en- ' gagements in Toronto, Can. Herz was the husband of L-jlu Glaser until she divorced him in Chicago last 1 January on grounds of cruelty.

The bull moose bosses are quoting with much unction statements made by Woodrow Wilson about labor unions, and inquiring of the wage earners if they want to vote for a man who thinks such thoughts about them. Here is what Colonel Eoosevelt said in an article published iu the Century Magazine in February, 1SS8: "V hen drunk on the villainous whiskey of the frontier towns they (the cowboys and rough riders) cut mad antics, riding their horses into saloons, firing their revolvers right and left, from boisterous lightheadedness rather than from any vicicusness, and indulging too often in deadly shooting affrays, brought on either by accidental contact of the moment cr on account of some long-standing grudge, or, perhaps, because of bad blood between the ranches or localities. But they are better fellows and pleasanter companions than the small farmers or agricultural laborers; NOR ARE THE MECHANICS OF A GREAT CITY TO BE MENTIONED IN THE SAME BREATH WITH THEM."

There is a clash between the federal and thi county officers over the release of "Little .Jeff," ii notorious check forprer and counterfeiter. "Little Jeff" was arrested by Sheriff Thomas Grant of Lake County, charged with complicity in the Indiana Harbor cheek forgeries. He gavfl the sheriff's office evidence which lead to the apprehension and conviction of Kdward Hill, who is now serving a sentence of 24 years in Columbus, Edward Brooks, who was Kiven 2 to 14 years by Jurte Lawrence Keeker at Hammond and James Swanson who was sentenced to 1 to 7 years by JudRe Becker. Because of his having turned state's evidence Y. J. McAleer, the attorney who represented the Inland Steel company, promised him that so far as he was concerned he would do his best to secure immunity for him. Hill Cnuaht. The man who was the brains of the jrani? was Edward Hill, the Indian, and McAleer was satisfied when Hill waa safe behind the bars. McAleer also declares that there was no evidence sufficient to make certain that "Little Jeff" could have been convicted even if he was brought to trial. "Little Jeff" was released on the motion of Deputy I'rosecutinK Attorney Ralph W. Koss, who nolle prossed the, case. Ross acted on the susrestinn of Attorney McAleer that he did not care to prosecute. Thomas Grant was in Jeff ersonvllle with a prisoner at the time. Grant said that Federal Officers D. C.

T1MHS III RKAf, AT STATU CAPITAL Indianapolis, Ind., Kov. ,r On the eve of the election there is doubt as to the result in this state, as well as elsewhere. In the past few weeks, and especially in the, last week or so, there has been a remarkable trend toward tho re-election of President Taft, but whether this will be strong i-nnutrh to overcome the lead which Woodrow Wilson has had in the campaign is still a question that can only be answered by the ballots cast tomorrow. Coming Rnrk In Fold. From all over Indiana reports have come to the republican state headquarters that men who strayod away from the republican party early in the campaign and took up with the progressive movement are rnmlng back Into the party by the hundreds. These reports have Injected new hope into the republican leaders, and have caused them to believe that Taft has a fiKhtlrisr chance to carry this state. It must be admitted, however, that this

is a lone; shot, for the trutli is that Wilson has all alonj? been regarded as far in the lead. Refuse To He Downcast. The republican state organization men are, not willing to admit that Wilson has a sure thlnpr. They say

With the spirit of hearty co-operation and a jrenr-ral readiness to "do things" the members of the general committee, forme. 1 to arrange for the Hammond convention of the Indiana Younp Men's Christian association, got into real action yesterday afternoon at a conference in the Chamber of Commerce rooms. 1 L. Romhertrer. chairman of the committee of local business and professional men. struck the keynote of the prevailing feelins when he said: No Quitter In Sijilit. "The men here look as if they will stay with it and put it through. I don't see the face of a quitter here." What the committee did, primarily, was to fill three vacant offices and to hear the appointments to the many committees made by the chairman and give their approval to the same. Rut there was a great deal more than that to the session, for plans were discussed from every angle and the situation was gone over thoroughly. Other Offlrrr IMected. The other officers of the general committee who will serve with Mr. Bamberger are: Vice chairman C. W. McDaniels. Secretary- C. L. Surprise. Treasurer M. M. Towle. The committee apointments, which include all members of the general committee, are as follows:

Fannie Brice. "I couldn't epeak my line II I didn't have my fwt to getur wlUi," deel.rs Kannle Brio, who Is making euch a hit thl season In "The Whirl of Society." "My ahoea cause me more worry than any other part of my oostume. I have spent daya In shoe shops and bought dozenn of pairs of shoes before I was linally ultei. Last year rr.y shoe bill contained an item of 87 pairs of white canvas shoes. I had bought that many and experimented with theia until" I finally found what I wnted for the pair I had made to order."

they have strong hopes of success. Cti the other hand the democrats are taking it as a mattt r of course that their ticket will be elected. Some of th democrats are even claiming a plurality as high as 12fi.)0ii f or Wilson, but this looks to be out of ill reason. 16 is only the enthusiasm of the democrats that cause them to mriko such a. prediction. lreliet a l,anf!l1d. The progressives are insisting thag there will be a Roosevelt landslide in Indiana that will cany the third term candidate across a winner in Indiana This, however, does not seem at all possible to a disinterested observer, for about the only votes- the progress sive party will get will ome from I h republican party. As fjisl as can bfj learned few democrats are taking any; part with the progressives. Anything to Heat (. . P. Here and there- is one, but they are) scarce. Therefore, the best the progressives can hope to do is to prevenC the republicans from polling their uual vote and winning a victory. Tha prog ressives cannot hope to carry Indiana by any other means than a landslide, and the iruth is that there ar no indications of such an event hap pening at this election.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT

Th Oary city hall is considerably wrouKht up over stories that Sheriff Grant Is to send deputies into dary tomorrow to guatd the polls, as was done in the past 'wo elections. The yarn is a canard, however, as Sheriff ilrnnt has no intention of sending- any deputi es. So firm had become the belief that deputies will be sent that the board of safety will me t with the republican chairman, H. t . Francis, some time today and formally request of him that he ask taht no deputies be sent. Anticipating- the possible arrival of deputies the democrats were preparing to swe: r in special polloe. Acting Chief r,!is .Newman said today that there will be 100 special police in reserve ready to look after the deputies. "I don't know whether the- report is true or not that deputy sheriff's are coming." said Police Commissioner Carl Cooper. "If they do we will have police enough to t ik- cure of them if they do anything-. If the deputy sheriffs tjet cay we will lock them up."

Republicans who made it their business to invetslpate the "progressive Democratic club" allego-d to have- h. t n organized by William Fuzy, of East Chicago, claim that there is no such organization, or if there is, it failed to materialize at the "meetlntf" announced for Saturday nisht when two speaKers from Chicago were advertised to come out and speak in the interests of Democracy. Attorney Joseph Meade this mornine; declared that the movement is merely desigrned to hurt the Republican party in this city, and he says he has it on t,he authority of a number of men alleged by Fuzy to have been identified with it, that their names were used without their consent. Mr. Meade named John Gercotrz. alleged to be treasurer of the 'progressive Perr.oe.irts." and Pfte Skeiish, also named us an ally, as repudiators of the movement, both bavins declared to him. he says, that they arRepublioans first last and all the time and never have deserted the party and do not expect to.
