PROGRESSIVES LEAD

Poll of Indianapolis Offices Show Them in the Lead.

: A poll taken by a Cincinnati paper of the Hume-Mansur and Lemcke Annex buildings, two of the largest office buildings in Indianapolis in the downtown business district, show that Beveridge and Roosevelt are running strong with the voters. In the Lemcke " Annex building, Roosevelt and Wilson were a tie, with Taft a poor third. In the same building Ralston and Beveridge were a tie. Colonel Durbin, the Republican candidate for governor, received less votes than Taft. The poll of the Hume-Mansur building showed that Roosevelt was first, with 55 votes to 48 for Wilson. Taft had 25, Beveridge had 69, Ralston 30, and Durbin 19. 1

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. 'Ware the book agent. They say his day is waning. But is this true? "Not so you could notice it," to use the vernacular. The fact is, to be a successful book agent, indicates certain type of genius. One designated as agent once defin

ed the varying strata of the profession

as "book peddlers," "book agents," and "book salesmen." It Is these latter that typify the Bpecies. Or, rather, elevate it to the plane of a profession. More than that, of an art. They possess all the acumen of a trained diplomat with the deftness of' a yeggman. For they can worm their way into the confidence of any person from "the Colonel's lady to Bridget O'Grady," to say nothing of the master of the house and overlord of the dt-partment store, the little stenographer or the good young man working his way from the bottom of the ladder. Even haughty business men who are

up to their ears in work and cannot be disturbed while they sit with their heels on the desk reading the morning paper, find themselves signing contracts for an edition bound in crushed levant with hand-colored illustrations which will just match the decorations in the library. For he has slipped by the outposts

while the latter are examining a set of thirteen volumes bound in boards with illustrations depicting all the Great Catastrophes in History down to the sinking of the Titanic and the street car collision with the Richmond steam roller which demolished a wheel on the steam-roller and never got into the papers. The office boy tips him the wink while he gloats over the prospectus of ten volumes in half calf on payments of three and a half cents a week covering a period of ten years and the book salesman pussy-foots into the inner sanctuary and spreads his fascinating wares before the hypnotized gaze of the bloated bond-holder some time snoozing within. The haughty business man tries his bluff. But it don't work. And he succumbs. He finds himself inviting the book salesman to his home. The salesman toys with the suggestion. Says he has an engagement at nine thirty very important Is the only time when he can see Mr. Plutocrat who is going to consult him about a nucleus for a collecton of de luxe editions oh, come to dinner, says the haughty business man. Alone tonight family out of town we can talk it over better that way Plutocrat, by the bye, is an ignoramus who doesn't know whether Bacon wrote Shakespeare or whether he's something to eat he'd better begin on paper backs and work up to de luxe editions

pont Morgan," deploys the book salesman, insinuating himself through a crack in the door. "I don't want to see your damn books," says Plutocrat. "I have heard of you as a noted connoisseur and book collector," says the book salesman, "and notwithstanding the fact that I have been told that you cared for nothing but the outsides of books and were unfamiliar with their contents I was determined to give the lie to this base slander and plead with you for an opportunity to see your first Shakespeare folio as Mr. Morgan told me it exceeded " You haven't a first folio why, surely could I have been mistaken but your collection just been thinking of making one ah, then, you may be interested in our Shakespeare bound in ooze calf.

There was a time when mushroom publishers could jack up sets of the classics that looked like the real thing but were based on the same sort of sham foundation that is duplicated in architecture by the Pennsylvania state-hous3, whose graft-ridden erection is one of the scandals of this country. But these are becoming rarer. And you can secure solidly bound books, that are still beautifully made up, through this medium, better, perhaps, than you can in any other way. However you know how it goes.

He is announced but without name. You descend to be greeted by a well groomed man who has a vague, familiar look. He says he has been sent to you as one of the heavy weights of the town. That practically everybody has advised him to go to you. That, in fact, he heard of you before he got here.

He can tell you are a person of re

finement and culture by your home.

Well, of course, he knows how It is himself. You don't always have the

money when you want it but our pay

you can look over it no?
