Continuing the splendid impression made in the flery speech at Evansvllle. Senator lieverldge has been speaking nlshtly In cities and towns of Southern Indiana. Defore election day, the nominee will have visited most of the lmprtant cities cf the state. As usual, Mr. Beverldge has some, thins to say and his message in regard to his program for a restoration of nermal times Is being received enthusiastically by larse audiences, according to persons in the Beverldge campaign party. - It now appears that the Beverldge speaking campaign will be a repltitlon cf the primary campaign, a series of ovatlens In every section o the state. , Mr. Beverldge, in a number of his addresses, has emphasised the necessity of every citizen registering for the election and in this manner he is co-operating with the parly committees which are now working for & full registration of the vote. Republican leaders say that with a full registration of the voters, com plete success for the Republican senatorial and slate tickets is ascured. Although, interest In the senatorial fight is overshadowing state Issues In the campaign, some Interesting campaign material in regard to the suceees of the McCray administratlun is being brought to lisht with the close of the fiscal year for the state on Sept. 80. The repurt of the state prison shows that under McCray management this institution has had the most successful year of Us history and has more than paid the expenses Of operation from the sale of products manufactured in the institution. The prison has taken in almost $1.000. 0U0 from the sale of Its products this year and wUl turn into the state treasury between 160,609 SJJ'l 173.000 profit. A report of the state securities commission, composed of Ed Jackson, secretary of state Ora Davles, state treasurer, and Attorney General U, 8. Lcsh, shows that that body made more than 122,000 above expenses of operation last year. Mr. Jackson and Mr. Davles are candidates on the Republican state ticket this fall seeking re-election. ' Preliminary reports to the governor indicate that a number of other state departments have had the most successful year of their existence. In spite of the great decrease in property valuations, Governor MeCray was able to keep the state tax rate down with but very little increase. On the face of the decreased valuations, the new rate will not be as great a tax burden on the people of the state as last year's rate. From these facts, coming to light with the annual reports, Republicans are saying that the state ad-minlBt-ation Is able to demand the confidence of Indian voters.

VIGOROUS

BOAT STRIKE d FINDS MILLS

Huge Stocks of Ore Had Been Piled Up in Preparation for Walkout (Bir-LETLN) INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE CHICAGO, October Z. Twenty-five sailors on boats leaving Chicago went out on strike in obedience to the strike call of the sailors' union of the Great Lakes which began yesterday, according to the Lake Carrier's Association today. No delay In ship sailings was reported. "With lake shipping due to close Nov. 15. the seamen's strike which becme effective on the Great Lakes Saturday at midnight will not seriously hamper production in the Gary mills, officials stated today. In anticipation of a strike, officials of the United States Steel Corporation laid away mountains of iron ore and have a sufficient amount of working material on hand to operate the bills throughout the winter and possibly into the spring months. Last minute efforts to avert the threatened strike failed Saturday when officials of the Lake Carriers Association refused to concede the eight hour work day for the sailors. At present the men work on two twelve hour shifts. The strike will affect approximately 5,000 sailors who are employed on the ore boats as wheelsmen, lookouts, boatswains and ordinary seamen. A coa: enortage tn the Northwest is also threatened as a result of the walkout. In three wage cuts the pay of seamen was reduced from 1130 a month in May, 1920, to ISO a month in May, 1922. The iast wage decrease was followed by a strike vote which was unanimously In favor of strike. Through the intervention ot Secretary of Labor Davis the strike was averted and the association granted the men a S15 a month increase. Up until Saturday, it was beleived that the coal shipments received by boat would curtail operation in the steel mills, but a dispatch from Washington late in the day relieved this fear. The Labor department received assurance from William Livingston, president of the Lake Carriers Association, that notwithstanding the seamen's strike, transportation facilities would be adequate to take care of all coal that could be delivered at lake ports. "All we want is the coal," said Mr. Livingston. FARMERS ELEVATOR $3,500 PROFIT (SPECIAL TO THE TIMES LOWELL.
