RETURNS AT THE COLISEUM Republican Leaders Predict the , Biggest Plurality in Country Since 1880. - ' At the headquarters of the Republican County Committee in the Dickinson Trust building on south "'Eighth Street 'there were busy times (yesterday l'r; in early mora until late jat niht. Chairman Gardner and Soeretarv Converse, being1 buried up ( "'to'" Weir 'necks in the work of making the final arrangements for rolling up a big plurality and converting ' Wayne County into the scene of a Democratic Waterloo. ) "How about the vote in this county?' Mr. Gardner was asked as he was giving some rural 'party workers their final instructions before the battle of ballots. "This County?" , ' said the Chairman, , with an expansive smile of the Quaker Oats variety. "You can say that old Wayne will pile up the biggest Republican plurality since 1880. I wont make any prediction as to the probable figures but you know Wayne County went Republican in 1880 by over 3,000." "Ydi can also make the statement," put in Will Converse, "that every Republican candidate on the county ticket will be elected." The indications are that an immense vote will be polled. This evening the election returns will be received at the Coliseum by W .telegraph and long distance tele phone service and every voter in the city and county is invited to be 1 he guest of the Republican County Committee for the evening. People are requested nut to telephone to the Coliseum for returns.

LATE REPORTS

Indicate That Roosevelt Will Carry New, York. (y Associated Press.) Reno, Nevada, November 7. Late reports indicate that Roosevelt will carry the state and that Democratic congressmen ''will be elected and the Democrats will control the legislature which elects a senator from New York. Urey Woodson had a telephone talk with Chairman Taggart who assured them Indiana would go Democratic. Republican members bf 'the National Committee from Connecticut and New Jersey say those States are surely Republican. Vote early. Vote for Roosevelt. WORST BEATEN CANDIDATE WILL BE ALTON B. PARKER THAT DEMOCRATS EVER HAD. SUCH IS THE PREDICTION Of the Hon. William D, Poulke Who Is at Home to-Vote.-vi -r.. The Hon; William Dudley Foulke has returned' from his speaking tour through the central part of the state. Mr. Foulke is enthusiastic over the prospects of Indiana giving a big Republican plurality and predicts dhat Alton P. Parker will be one of the worst beaten candidates that has ever headed a Democratic ticket. Mr. Foulke is "telling "one' on himself which happened while he was on his speaking -tour. The story is best told in his own words. "I was in Mooresville, Ind., and made a speech in the town hall to a large crowd. After the meeting a citizen told me that the week previous a Democratic speaker had been sent to Mooresville to make an address but no one put in an appearance in the hall, so in desperation he sought out a dry goods box, placed it on a street corner and in a short time had a fair sized crowd gathered about, him. He had just gotten under good headway when some wag shouted 'fire' and our Democratic friend was left to address the 'chilly atmosphere. ' This said I, 'is a splendid joke on the wicked' Democratic speaker' and laughed every time I thought of it. The next night I was in Red Key and the stand I spoke from was situated near the llig Four railroad tracks. The night was cold and disagreeable and between freight trains passing every five minutes, tin horns blowing and people yelling 'hurrah for Teddy' as they passed by on floats. I had to scream to make, myself heard. I had just finished my introduction when there came a 'clang, clang, clang,' of the fire bells and in the opposite end of the town I saw flames shooting up to the skies. . A man dashed into ;the crowd and informed a woman, Avho was standing directly in front of me, that her home was on fire.. Then the crowd .stampeded to the fire and I was left with an audience of about five. 1 remember that one man had a very interested expression on his face and I decided to keep on talking as long as he looked that way. Well I did. and in about avhalf hour's time my crowd came back to me and heard the conclusion of the address. T can't figure out who the laugh is on, my Democratic friend pr myself."

. Vote early. Vote for Roosevelt. VOTE BUYING CONTINUED

NAMES OF MEN WHO TRIED TO BUY COLORED VOTERS '-"-' . FURNISHED THE PALLADIUM Also the Names of the Men Who Were Offered Money for Their Votes. - The Palladium has been reliably informed that the vote buying business was continued by two well known Democrats yesterday and last night, and that in an instance or two they were successful, and in other cases they Avere turned coldly down. One of these Democrats approached a certain colored man whose name we have before us and offered him $15 to leave town. The man refused the offer and told the Democrat that no amount of money would buy his right to cast a ballot to suit himself. Another colored fellow was approached by the Democrat in question and offered $10. This was accepted, and the fellow has left town. This last colored man spends most of his time in jail. It looks very much like the bung Hew out of Taggart 's barrel somewhere in this vicinity. And this is America, the land of the free and tho4icmc-ro . the naxexr.&cJZ Wave of Crime. . A wave of crime seems to be ! sweeping over Columbus, Ohio. A number of robberies in all forms have occurred in the last few days and on Sunday evening eighteen residences in the principal part of the city were entered and robbed between midnight and morning. The police have been powerless to stop the wave of crime and the citizens are up in arms in an effort to stop it.

A REMINDER

recognize the fact that they are the real rulers of the nation, that theirs is indeed a government t( of the people, for the people and by the people." But how about the women? Must they stand idly by and contribute nothing because they are denied the elective franchise; do nothing but fret and worry at the unjustnes.s of taxatioii without representation; or do nothing but lend a deaf ear to the entire subject '?' No, for their interests are too closely bound up with those of their fathers, husbands, brothers and sons. Woman always has been the, power behind the throne and will still be, if she but exert her influence. Today she can at least encourage the voters of her own family as well as those of her neighbors and friends by reminding them of their privilege and duty.

j She can put the men folks of

by serving them with some favorite dish for dinner or supper.' If the son or brother be a first voter she can make the day a memorable one by not only giving him something good to eat, but by presenting him with some souvenir of the day, which he may keep-and prize a lifetime and dying leave it to his eldest son and so on for generations an heirloom hat will be cherished long after the hand that gave it has crumbled to dust. It's true that Tuesday is ironing day in many families, hut jt v- will pay the housewife to sprinkle the clothes a little more, than is her wont and lay them aside until tomorrow and go insead to the stores and select a keepsake. She will be happy and so will her boy and the day will be a mner-io-be-forotten one. A SISTER.

Lowery then assessed a fine of $5 against Daly for fighting. In the second period Lowery called a foul on Devlin, the half back on the Lafayette team. Devlin could not see it in the same light that Lowery did so he drove a polo ball at the ex-sporting editor. Lowery ducked (Continued on Page Four.)
