And no’v we have discovered an- i other Df irvocratic They know the y are licked to stay licked for at hast 20 years, but they are a'rtad’/ i jreparing for a desperate es- j fort to elect a president in 1916.

It is remarkable how naturally and conveniently, and at the same time, how evenly, the new gravel roads divide Marte>iy township, and Rensselaer, into four precincts. The convenience this division is apparent to everyone, and its equality is shown by the election table, published elsewhere.

The next largest township vote was, of course, in Carpenter, with 486. Barkley with two precincts, is third, with 231 votes. The largest vote polled at any single precinct, was in Union tp., with 220 votes.

Election day Mrs. Helen M, Cougar, President of the Indiana Suffrage Association, presented herself at the voting precinct in her ward in Lafayette, and demanded the right to cast her ballot. The inspector refused to give her a ballot on the grounds that she was a woman, and was therefore not a citizen. Mrs. Gougar offerel to make affidavit to her citizenship, but this was refused, and the lady and her husband left. This step was taken for the purpose of making a test suit of the right of women to vote. • Under our constitution the State court has held that women have the right to practice law, and while the Constitution says that male persons over the age of 21 years are entitled to vote it does not say that women can not also vote. The case will come up before the local court in December, Mrs. Gougar being represented by Samuel M Saylor, of Huntington, Ind., and the Election Board by Alexander Rice, of Lafayette. The case will be carried to the Supreme court.

Mrs Julia Day, one of the divorce court's most recent widows, left for Cb-impnign Co., lib, Hie latter part of l rsr week, taking with her all her chiMren, ircludmg those which the (cbhrt, in it? undoubted wisdom, had jassiguv-d to the custody of their father. B fore going the arranged to have her attorney and agent J. W. Dou'hit, to ship her goods to her, in Illinois and she also broke to him,

as gently as tin circumstance would permit, the intelligence that she was to be married-, immediately, to one Dan Richardson, Soon after she left, Richardson presented to Mr v Douthit what purported to be an order from Mrs. Day, directing the goods to be shipped to Lafayette, 1 this state, instead ot to Illinois. Mr. I Doutliit was suspicious of the genI uiness of the order, and wrote to Mre. | Day. But before the letter could reach her she returned to this place, still largely unmarried, and will continue to make this her residence. She denies having authorized the order sending her . goods to Lafayette. If the order is a forgery its author is liable to get into serious trouble. It looks like a scheme to get her goodß away from her.
