v. WERE SEEDED : FOR CAPTURItlG A JOB City Attorney Jones of Dan- ; yjlle, III.,. Shows Commerrjcializcd Methods Used in Campaigns. (Continued From Pago One.) plats It is expected will "fees up" to the grand Jury Monday. lie said: "It is Impoaaible for any man to be fleeted to any public office In Vermillion county, no matter how trifling it way he, without spending money with jib abandon of a drunken sailor. The yffem is bo perfect there la no escaping it. . CTTKren before a man has announced Ma candidacy, news of bis proposed announcement gets about. At once ho-is besieged by the leeches called voters, who swoop down on bint as buzzards after their prey, and cling to blra with the tenacity of bull dogs, sucking every cent from him they possibly ran. They are unscrupulous iinid. will do anything, . tell any lie, make any promise, to get the money. , Craiy on Politics. bzi -Hill venture to say that the aver'gereat to candidates for election expanses Is $5,000 to $7,000. I have tgrawit men to spend $25,000 to be elected to a $2,000. job. The people are mad, crazy, on the subject of pubIk! office. .' "When a man decides to run for public office he must first get what Is called hia organization. There' are in T3snvllle seven wards and twenty-four precincts. The candidates first move ta to appoint his ward captains. This fee may do personally or through a campaign manager.' These ward cap. tains sell for about $50 apiece. To them ia given the campaign money Necessary for the organization. , ''They go out and select precinct lieutenants, which sell at about $25 each. These precinct lieutenants in fara appoint two assistants, known as Dll workers and on sale at $10 to $15 (piece. Sometimes a cut rate is availLble and the sell for $5 to $10. Then Bust be had a man with a horse and buggy to haul the bought voters to the polls. These sell at about $15 each for ten hours' work. J.'-Well. there you have your organization. Figure that up and. see hjw much It amounts to. But don't think Jfcat Is all; that Is only the beginning. ha 'voters must be 'bought and paid far yet. .You have there only the organisation to keep them In line after t)ey are purchased. t " Had Several Methods. ' '"Vote buying is done in. different -Bajra. From the minute a candidate eppears in the field It is give, give, dve, all the time. He is stopped on Co street by men who say they owe kouse rent and while they would like .to vote for htm they cannot do it if Qey have to move. That means the candidate must give them money for kouse rent, which Is not for house nt at all. ' "Others work the lodge brotherhood racket. Others need a can of lard. Come want a new pair of shoes or a mew. bat. The candidate is called out cf bed at night to give away money fr votes. At his office. In his home, os the street, at the theater, at social gatherings he Is accosted by not only the lower classes but by men aa well ff financially as the candidate himseir. Unbelievable, I admit, but true, nevertheless. . 'Then comes the work of that costly organisation again. The price of organisation is enough, but listen to Ula: After the organisation ia complete cornea the sub-organisation, conalatlng of the central vote buying office which has Its corps of operators. The cashier is a high priced man, costing about $100 and his assistants "must bo paid good money or about $35 Usually there are two of these acting in conjunction with the organisation already bought. . Each Had Cashier. "An office is opened in an upstairs kack room somewhere In the ward. In the office Is the caahler with his money stacked around In piles of hundreds of $1 bills. The workers on the outside go among the voters, dickering. , "When a voter Is brought to terms, ho is given a signed slip of paper by the worker, bearing on It the amount ae la to reeclve for his vote. This the voter takes to the central office, the location of which Is kept secret so the cashier may know no one comes lo"t he window who has no business these. . , . . Tho cashier never sees the man he buys. The wooden shutter in the door fa opened just far enough for the slip of paper to be -shoved through. It is examined by the cashier and If found all right, the wicker Is opened again Just far enough for him to slido the cash through to the voter. . ;."The prices paid for votes thus purchased is all the way from $1 to $3 apleco. In. some offices business is conducted more openly. There are those which keep a record of all transactions. The workers and the cashiers are given a printed list of voters.' Each checks against the other, marking off the names as the votes are purchased, setting down the amount paid opposite each name. This is for . vthe benefit of the candidate who wants to check up hi 3 organisation and see (hat nothing Is gone south with. On Election Day. You think that la pretty stiff, but the end Is not yet.

MAKE CONTEST OVER A GOVERNOR-ELECT
, r i
Governor-Elect, Benjamin W. Hooper, of Tennessee, who owing to a deadlock in. the legislature has-not yet been formally Heated. The deadlock U due to the refusal of the regular Democrats elected to the Tennessee legislature to take their seats and thus enable the bouse to get a quorum necessary for the formal Keating of the Fuslonists. Governor-Elect. It Is reported that all but a very few of the fortysix regular Democrats of the house had agreed over their signature to remain away . until the Fusionists had dismissed or agreed to dismiss the contests on foot by them , involving the seats of eight or more of the regulars. . election day another river of money must be let loose. The great motto of all Vermillion county politicians is "never spend all of your money before election day." "There always are hundreds of voters who bold back until election day to sell their votes. Every candidate has a man at the polls with a bundle of cash to see that nothing gets by his man. There are extra poll workers at from $5 to $10 apiece. The man with the bundle stands around and watches the other men with bundles; it they begin to pay additional for votes already purchased he must jump in and outbid them. Also he must buy up the hold back element. Early in the morning votes at the polls Bell for about $2, at noon they are worth $3, at mid afternoon they are worth $4, and juBt before the polls close they range from $5 to $7. "How . much did your election cost you, Mr. Jones?", was asked. . "I wouldn't like to say," was the smiling reply. "Was yours an average priced election. Mr. Jones?" "Yes, I think it struck somewhere about the average," answered the city attorney. "This is the vote traffic system as I understand it," he went on. "But I couldn't prove that one cent of the money I spent in my election went for the purchase of votes: I don't know that it did, but well, I was elected. . "I think it would be practically impossible to get down to the man who sold his vote for the reason that the man who paid him for it didn't see him. Of course, it the grand jury can get hold of some of these lists said to be In existence, they may do some business. "Will you volunteer any testimony for the jury?" was asked. "No, I shan't volunteer any testimony," he replied, and continued, "but it is simply appalling to what longths this disgraceful matter has gone. Men well dressed and neat appearing, men of property, hang around the polls for money. "They have the vote selling face which can be distinguished by a practical politician across the street. There is the hang dog. mercenary look about them that points them out to the man who wants to buy. It is not true that the vote sellers are all poor people in sore straits for a little ready cash. Many . owning houses and lots and other valuable property I am told, must be paid or they refuse to vote. "Candidates themselves, more than any other class of people would like to see the vote sellers punished and politics given a cleanup that will last."

YANKEE GIRLS ARE ' TO WEAR CORONETS American Born Peeresses to Play Leading Roles at Coronation.
(American News Service) s London, Jan. 21. Already the coronation baa become the stanie-of discussion In BOcietv esnoffaflv in itthe Crowning of their mo8t 8acre(1 Majesties. King George the Fifth and Queen Mary. The Earl Marshal's order permitting peeresses to wear their coronets at the grand ceremony lias been greeted with much satisfaction among the titled ladies. It is recalled that King Edward, prior to his coronation, gave orders that peeresses had better wear neatly inconspicuous gilt circlets, instead of their coronets. But the peeresses knew their heriditary privileges and protested vigorously. As a consequence King Edward, who was nothing if not at all a gallant gentleman, punctilliously considerate of feminine feellags, gave way with truly royal grace and permitted the ladies to wear their proper and hereditary coronets. Among those who will assume the impressive gold headdresses on that most impressive occasjon in Westminster Abbey next June will be all those pretty American women who have wedded English, Irish and Scotch titles. It is the law, hov?ever, that no titled woman ranking below "a baroness has a right to a coronet, and this In consequence, will limit the number of velvet ; capped Americans at the Abbey ceremonies. Only three Americans, for instance, can wear the famous coronets with the eight gold strawberry leaves, denoting tbe highest rank of the British nobili ty. These will be their graces of Marlborough, Manchester, and Rexburghe, and each of these ladies, who before their marriages were Miss Conseulo Vanderbilt of New York. Miss Hellen Zimmerman or Cincinnati, and Miss May Goelet of New York, will find the proper golden headdress all ready for her as other duchesses of Marlborough, Manchester and Roxburghe have appeared 'at Coronations. - Marchioness Coronet. Just a trifle less splendid than the coronet of a duchess is that worn by a marchioness. There will be only one American woman to represent this branch of the peerage She i3 the Marchioness of Dufferin. who was Miss Flora Davis of New York. Her coronet will be of silver gilt, surmounted by four geld strawberry leaves, alternating with four silver balls, the latter a little raised on points above the rim. In point j of elaborate splendor a countess's coronet is the most showy worn by any titled lady. It is like the
Marchioness's of silver gilt, chased asiMr. and, Mrs. Robert Beeler, Harry jeweled, but surmounted by eight sil-; Charaness, George Leonard Cook, ver ball3 raised upon points, witli gold- j Charles Richard Cook, M. Conner, Carl en strawberry ( leaves between the Curry, Harry Davis, J. G. Davis, J. M.
points. The cap is of crimson velvet, turned up ermine, with a golden tassel. j 1 nere are nai a aozen American coun leases wno win expiou mese coronets, tess or Essex, wno was Miss Adeie Grant; the Countess of Craven, .who was Miss Cornelia Bradley Martin, and the Countess of Suffolk, who was Miss Daisy Leiter. Several women from the states will be entitled , to wear the coronets of baronesses, and in comparison wit.li those of the marchionesses and countesses, they can best be described as neat, but not gaudy. Only six silver bally ornament the silver gilt band, above which puffs out the crimson velvet cap with its golden tassel. The robes to be worn by the peeresses are as strictly prescribed in the orders of the Earl Marshal as are the coronets. According to the official prders just issued the dress worn by peeresses must consist of a kirtle of crimson velvet, bordered all round, with a narrow edging of miniver scalloped in front, plain otherwise. The kirtle, which may be fastened down the back or in front, opens' from the waist, widening gradually down to the ground. : It may also be gathered back in three festoons, each tied back with a bow of gtld tinsel. The sleeves 6hould be about nine inches long, and have two narrow rows of miniver, below which are five lappets varying in length.' Peeresses may wearv white lace sleeves below these lappets. The petticoat must be white, or slightly cream-colored, with lace, embroidery, of brocade, ' in accordance with the taste of . the peeress. The brocades must be of gold or silver on the petticoat, as it would not be correct to introduce any color. Jewels may be worn round the neck, on the bodice and on the petticlati Permission is given to the peeresses to wear the robes end kirtles they wore at the last coronation, if they so desire.

JIM WATSON FEEDS GRAY MID BARNARD Congressman, Ex-congressman and Congressman- ? . Elect Met at Capital. ' I
(Palladium Special) Washington. Jan. 21. Jas. E. Watson left for Rushville this week. Tuesday night he gave a dinner to Representative Barnard, Representa-tiv-Elect Flnly Gray and his brother. Judge Gray, of Cbnnersville. " There is a damper over the Indiana Democrats the "two car . loads" that come to boom Stokes Jackson, for Scr-geant-at-arms of the house. They be gun to realize before they were here very long that the methods employed were unpopular. Taggart aroused a storm of protest by- trying to make a deal with the New Orleans Exposltion. boomers to throw- vote to New Orleans for the location of the Panama exposition In return for votes for Jackson. This, of course, cut both ways and every notbern Democratic member Interested in San Francisco as the ibaction rebelled and is now opposed to Jackson. It is now realized that the cause of Jackson would have been stronger had Taggart presented St on its merits instead of trying to make a "dicker" that has offended the exposition choice of many Democrats and the good taste of nearly all of them.

SENATE OLD GUARD
IS DOWN MID OUT After March 4, Republican Majority; Will Only Be Three in Senate. .-Washington. Jan. 21. The old guard in the -senate is beaten and out; its triumphant; and dominating power is broken. The death of Senator Elkins emphasised - the fact - West Virginia will now send two Democrats to the senate. The Republicans in the senate are now 59 out of a total membership of 92. In the senate after March 4. the Republicans will have but fifty. Forty-seven is the senate majority. It Is clear the Republican margin is extremely narrow. . A few more changes would give the Democrats control. As it is. after March 4. the Insurg ents will hold the. balance of power. Two years ago there were 61 Republicans and 31 Democrats. Changing Conditions. Changing the political complexion of the senate always is a slower process than changing that of tho house. Whether t!ie senate will, before the end of the present Democratic move: ment, go over to Democratic control can only be conjectured at present. But there Is increasing belief in political circles that it will do so. That there will be auother vacancy In the not distant future la coming to be quite widely believed. This means that tbe possibility of unseatins Sen. Lorlmer, Republican, of Illinois, is regarded as by no means remote. A recent count is said to have developed thlrtyne 8enatoITs deciared themselves tentatively in favor of unseating. It would require forty-six votes to displace Senator Lorimer and with two-thirds enough all claimed, hiss removel.is not at all possible. The following Republicans, who are now members of the senate will be succeeded by Democrats March 4: Hale, of Maine; Beveridge, "of Indiana; Depew, of New .York ; Kean, of New Jersey; Scott, of West Virginia; Dick, of Ohio; Burkett, of Nebraska;. Carter, of Montana; Warner of Missouri. . , v, .: ). Besides these changes the following Republicans? now serving will be succeeded by other Republicans after March 4 : Aldrich, of Rhode Island; Burrows, of Michigan; Bulkely, of Connecticut; Flint, of California; Piles, of Washington; Young, of Iowa. HE HAS HEW THEORY Regarding the Eyes and the Brain. i (American News Service) Paris, Jan. 21. At the Academy of Science recently Dr. Lapicque read a paper in support of his theory that there is ome relation between the size of the eyes and the weight of the brain. The new facts that tte advances dealing with mammiferous animals tend to confirm the theory. Thus, among the carnivorous animals, all members of the canine and feline party that Is to say, cats, dogs, wolves, etc, have large eyes and large brains as well. , - Badgers, pole cats, ermine, on the other band, Nhave small eyes and a brain tbe weight of which is proportionately lower, less than half that of the previous category. There is the same systematic difference between the two orders of bats, and, coming to the rodents, the great variations on tbe weight of the brain and the size of the eye are always associated. ; An approximate estimate of the doctor's is that the size of the retina counts three times more than the rest of the body in the development of the brain. .

WORLD'S GREATEST ADVENTURER DEAD George Boynton, American Soldier of Fortune, Dies I in a Hospital.
New York, Jan., 2.1. George B. Boynton, soldier of fortune, died at Miss O'Brien's hospital yesterday. ' Hia death was due to a general breakdown, the result of years ot exposure in nearly every known land and sea. Up to the time he - entered tho hospital he had ; been living- with his wife and niece ''at 501 West One Hundred and Twenty-fourth street. - s , - Boynton was not his right name. He adopted many names in different revolutions, Insurrections, and adventures, . but usually fell back on the name under which he died. He rarely talked of his remarkable life, and no one was; ever able to ascertain hia original name. He admitted that he was born In Fifth avenue, not far north of Four- v teen th. street, on May 1. 1842. and that , his father was a distinguished surgeon t with an estate on Lake Champlaln. lie was about to enter the nava! academy when the civil war broke out. He enlisted and his father bought. his . discharge. He Was sent to an uncla in Illinois, but enlisted in a cavalry regiment out there. At the battle of Pittsburg Landing he led a charge against the Confederate Black Horse cavalry. Shoots Confederate Assailant. A confederate cavalryman aimed a . blow at him with a saber, but ho ducked beside his norso's neck. The blow, killed the horse and tore a great gash In Boynton "s cheek, the scar of which he bore to his death, lie shot the . confederate between tho eyes, killing him instantly. He left the army and iwas nearly lynched as a copperhead.' Ho was later sent to capture contra band goods sent south from Cincinnati, and captured Belle Boyd, the Confederate woman spy. v In the latter days of tho war Boynton bought the Letter B, a vessel which was successfully running the blockade from Bermuda to the southern ports. He made several successful runs, although the Letter B was shelled more than once by the U, S. S. Powhatan. y Filibusters in Cuban War. On his return to New York ho pur chased the Franklin avenue distillery, with Jack Flsk as partner. This was a profitable affair, but Boynton yielded, to bis love for adventure and became a filibuster in the ten year' war In Cuba. At one time bis, vesse!vthe Edgar Stuart, was seized at Baltimore. He put to sea with' three deputy United States marshals as prisoners landing them farther down the coast. He had to go to Halifax until Fisk squared things for hipi after thla adventure. r : : Later he met Andrew Johnson, afterward " president, and was ; sent west by him to inquire Into political conditions. .Ho reported back that John son didn't have a chance and that he had decided that . filibustering was more honorable than politics. -In 1868 he began to supply the Spanish pretender Don Carlos, with arms from England.
