Indianapolis, July 23. What will the labor vote of Indiana do at the coming election? Ask this question
Of Edgar A. Perkins, president of the Btate Federation of Labor, and he will tell you that it will go to Bryan and Marshall. Mr. Perkins 1c a democrat and always has been. Ask the same question of John Mitchell, former ieader of the miners and he will tell you that labor will probably vote aB it always has according to the personal views of the man but that he, himself, will support Bryan, at least with his vote. Mitchell is also a democrat. He is a conservative, however, while Perkins may be put down as a radical. The latter has always been a Bryan man. Mitchell has not. He takes pains to speak only for himself, as Mitchell does, not believe that labor should be bound politically to any man or party. All efforts to drag him into politics have failed, and just so will fail all efforts to draw from him a Word that might be construed into political advice by the thousands of men who love him and believe in him. Perkins, as the editor of a labor paper, has stirred up much contention, his editorial policy resulting in his withdrawal from the presidency of the Central Labor union, a body made up of representatives of all local unions.
He has made the statement that if Watson is not defeated for governor
of Indiana he will never again pin his
faith to the labor vote. He expects to drive this vote into the democratic party, for Bryan and Martiall, but he
Is the only labor leader hereabouts Who thinks that it can be done. Already plans are under way by certain
local unions to pass resolutions of thanks to Taft for his fair treatment of laborers sent to the Panama district, and as reports come from the

Mart, wno is known to nave Kept a close eye on these affairs. No, it will be found that the labor unionists will do their own thinking, as usual, and
vote accordingly. Even the fact that Samuel Gompers, who works in close touch with Perkins in Indiana labor affairs, is out for Bryan will not count for much, it is thought, as Gompers
has ever been an advocate of unit vot

be called the very thing at which

WOULD BE OPPOSITION.
J7 A. Spekenhier Of this city, who is
treasurer of the Indiana State Auto
mobile association, announced today that there is a movement on foot to have the Vanderbilt cup race held
this fall in the northwestern part of the state. The movement was inau
gurated by the Chicago Automobile club, and has been taken up by the In
diana State Automobile association,
which is affiliated with the American
Automobile association.
If the Vanderbilt cup race, which is
annually the most important automo
bile event held in this country, is secured for this state the I. S. A. A. would favor having overnor Hanly
call out several companies of the national guards to patrol the course The State association anticipates that at first thought there would be opposition to having the big event held in this state, but it is Confident that when the people understand the benefits which would be derived from the
race this opposition would cease.
It is pointed out that the race
would attract thousands of people, that many of them would travel in their machines through nearly every
section of the state; that the farmers in the locality where the race would be held would be paid big fees for
renting ground for parking of auto
mobiles ;that the roads comprising the
race course would be oiled and placed
in good repair and various other bene
fits.
In past years the Vanderbilt cup
race has been held on Long Island,
New York. The contestants in this event come from all over the United
States and Europe. Long Island peo
pie living in the vicinity of the race
course are annually enriched to the ex
tent of over $100,000 by this race, consequently they favor it rather than
oppose it.

State Food and Drug Inspector John Owens has returned to Richmond and besides inspecting those dairies he
missed on his first visit here, he Is in

dairies were inspected for the first time. Of the remaining ten dairies, six were found to have improved their
rating. Three had made no improvements and one received a rating low er than the one given at the first in spection.
This morning Mr. Owens inspected three dairies. Neither of them had ever been inspected by him before.

Kalamazoo, Mich., July 22. Benjamin Pearce married Mrs. Myrtle Robin son-Force-De Forest-Ainsworth and thereby became father-in-law of his sister and uncle and grandfather of his wife's son's child. A deeper study of the situation presented by Mr. Pearce's matrimonial venture might reveal further degrees of relationship, but the foregoing Is apparent at a glance. Here's how It happened. Mrs. Pearce. by her first husband became the mother of David Force. The . latter led to the altar Gladys Pearce, sister of Benjamin Pearce. They have a baby. Now it can be seen readily that as the husband of his sister's mother-in-law, Benjamin Pearce becomes his sister's father-in-law. It Is just as simple to perceive that as the plain brother of his sister he naturally is her child's uncle. And as the spouse of bis sister's child's grandmother, how can he be other than the infant's grandfather: -
