OLDEST PRINTER IN STATL DEAD HERE R: O. Dormer Passed Away This Morning from Senility, 88 Years Old. Robert O. Dormer, aged 88, pioneer printer and newspaper man, died at 3 o'clock this morning from senility at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mary Roney, 302 North Ninth street. Had strength and life been granted him a few days more, Mr. Dormer could have cast his fifteenth ballot in a presidential election. He cast his first vote in the race that resulted in the election of President Taylor in 1848. Born September 21, 1824, in Clinton county, Ohio, in a 'community which gave many prominent men to the nation and state, Mr Dormer saw the nation pass through crucial tests and ripe to prominence. (He was printer by trade and was for many years employed in that capacity on the Palladium and the old Telegram. When Daniel Surface was editor of the Palladium, Mr. Dormer not only helped set type but also contributed often to the sheet.' He was an intimate friend of the late Isaac Jenkinson, and was identified with the Palladium while Mr. Jenkinson was owner and editor. It was an annual custom of Mr. Dormer to drop Into the Palladium office on his birthday and set a few lines of fine type to demonstrate that he was still in practice. Two years ago he set the last line in this office. Since then the infirmities of old age precluded the attempt. He was for many years proof reader on a Dayton newspaper. At Washington. Mr. Dormer was a resident of Washington when the Civil war broke out. He had been appointed to a position in the congressional post office. He saw the inauguration of President Buchanan. Later he was transferred to the patent office. He attended the inaugural exercises when Lincoln took the oath of office. i He had the distinction of being the ddcst printer in the state of Indiana. He was one of the charter members of the local typographical union. ) Until a few weeks ago he was able to be about town. One of his daily habits was to set his watch at a downtown jewelry store and then verify it again by the clock in a jewelry store on North Ninth street. His last trip to the city two weeks ago marked the last time he left the house. He took to bed yesterday. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Maty Roney and W. B. Dormer, both of this city. The funeral will be held Thursday at 2 o'clock frcm the home of Mrs. Roney at 302 Ncvth Ninth street. The Rev. Mr.; Light bourne officiating. Interment at Earlham cemetery. Friends are requested to omit flowers.

TO CAST BIG VOTE

Chicago May Equal Its Registration. (Xational News Association) CHICAGO, Nov. 5. An unusually heavy vote marked the early hours of balloting in Chicago today. When the polls opened at 6 o'clock voters were lined up and waiting to cast their ballots. Returns from various precincts from both north and south side wards showed that in some cases nearly a fourth of the registered vote was cast before 8 o'clock. The polls opened at 6 o'clock and will close at 4 p. m. The total registration for the city is 441,774, according to the figures of the commission on elections. The managers of the three parties early today predicted the total vote would be well above the 350,000 mark and might come close to the total of registration. Weather conditions favored a heavyvote. The day broke warm and calm. The Northwest wind predicted by the weather bureau failed to materialize, and although it was cloudy it was pleasant out of doors. Under a recent decision of the supreme court voting is being done both on machines and paper ballots. Only a small percentage of the vote was being cast on the machines. In the eights ward where the percentage of foreign voters is very high I a heavy vote was cast. Throughout the city it was reported that there were strong indications that tickets were being scratched. Women took a prominent place in j the work about the booths. Most of them were Progressives and were helping their fellow Moosers in "getting out the vote." Sporting Gossip BASEBALL NOTES. Jim Mutrie, who managed the New York Giants in the late '80's is running a news stand on Staten Island. Batting for .400 and fielding for 1,000 in a world's championship series is a record that "Buck" Herzog can well feel pround of. "Bunk" Congalton, formerly of the Boston Red Sox, and last season with the Columbus Senators, has opened a cafe in Columbus, Ohio. Catcher "Gabby" Street, the old Washington backstop, is once more on his way. The Providence club has shipped him to Chattanooga. First baseman Hal Chase, is managing and pitching for a bunch of New York Yankees on a barnstorming trip through New York and New Jersey. By the time the National league moguls get through canning managers, John McGraw and Fred Clarke will be the only veterans still on the job. Chicago fans paid $110,808 to see the White Sox slaughter the Cubs for the Windy City championship. Each Sock got $876, while each cub took down $519. Roger Bresnahan's St. Louis Cardinals were the only National league team to win a series from an American league outfit this fall and then Roger gets the gate. What's the use? The Giants lost a world's series with Charles Faust chasing the jinks, and repeated the losing stunt wothout the services of Charles. That shows an average of .500 per cent for the Kansas bug. The Honeymoon Over. "No one comes to see me," said she wearil.r. "as they did before I was married." "Speaking of that fact." said he. "I used to call on you seven evenings in the week at that time. But I am as bad off as you I now have nowhere to go." Moving. He read the letter twice and then said, "This is one of the most moving pieces of literature I ever saw." "Is it an appeal for aid?" asked his wife. "No. It's a note from the landlord saying he has raised the rent." Some Difference. Hewitt This la a queer world. Jewett What is the matter with it?

LOOK FOR A GREAT VOTE OVER NATION Keenest Interest Has Been Shown in the Presidential Campaign.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5. The most vigorous presidential fight of recent years came to an end last night, with the leading candidates for the nation's chief office continuing their personal appeal to voters almost to the last moment. President Taft, speaking from his train in Ohio on his trip to Cincinnati; Col. Roosevelt, addressing voters at Long Island points close to Oyster Bay, and Governor Wilson, addressing meetings at Passais and Paterson, gave to the conclusion of the long cam- : paign a touch of personal activity that emphasized the interest in today's balloting. More than the presidency is at stake in the elections. The Republican forces have concentrated their efforts in doubtful states to prevent an overturning of local organizations, or a capture of the legislatures in states heretofore safely Republican. The Democrats have made an organized assault upon a number of states to control the legislatures, so that the majority in the United States Senate may be swung to the Democratic column. Against Republican predictions that the senate will remain Republican, Democratis national leaders claimed enough states to give them the senate, and to greatly swell their majority in the house of representatives, which they captured in 1910. The influence of women in the election probably will be greater than in any previous election. Each national headquarters has had an organized bureau to appeal to women workers, presided over by women well known in public and social life. In the six Western states where women will vote, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, California, Idaho and Washington, their ballots will be an important factor in the results. In five other states, Arizona, Michigan, Kansas, Oregon and Wisconsin, the right of women to vote will be an issue at the polls. Fine weather pervails in the majority of states. The uncertainty caused by the new party ticket, the more i than ordinary urgent appeal of party I managers to all voters to "go to the polls" and the local interest caused by fights for state offices and control of state machinery indicated a record vote in almost all sections of the country and a popular presidential vote of huge proportions. Final telegraphic instructions to state and county chairmen in all of the Western states were sent out last night from the various national political headquarters in Chicago. All of the party managers renewed their confident, predictions of success, but all emphasized the necessity of keeping up the fight until the polls have closed finally tonight. Joseph E. Davies sent out a warning to Democrats, urging them not to be led stray by overconfidence. "I am convinced," said Mr. Davies, "that Woodrow Wilson will win the greatest political victory the United States has known in fifty years." David W. Mulvane, in estimating the Taft vote in advance, declared that the President would get 315 electoral votes and Wilson 132 electoral votes. In addition Mulvane lists a total of 84 electoral votes as doubtful. Medill McCormick asserted that a Progressive landslide had started and that Col. Roosevelt would be elected by an overwhelming plurality. Chairman Jones of the Prohibition party said that the Prohibition cause had received thousands of recruits from the "silent" vote of the country. The Socialists expected to double the Socialist poll of four years ago, and several of the party leaders insisted the Socialist vote would be tripled. CALIFORNIA WOMEN CONTROL. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Nov. 5 California for Roosevelt aid Johnson by 30,000, for Wilson and Marshall by 20,000, were the predictions of rival campaign managers on the eve of the election. The result lay with the women voters. Professional predictions apart, it was the best opinion of politicians of all, parties that the addition of La Follette and Taft strength to the normal Democratic vote, by reason of the inability of Taft supporters to vote for Taft electors in this state, would make the contest extremely close. MAN'S ARTERIES. And Some of the Causes That Tend to Make Them Harden. "A man is as old as his arteries" Is a common saying among physicians, which has come to be taken up by their patients. Dr. Herbert C. Clapp of Boston in the New York Medical Record comes forward with an article declaring that worry is a common cause of arteriosclerosis, the hardening of the arteries is not infrequently considered as one of the customary and proper accompaniments of a ripe old age sometimes even of middle lifeit Is not universally so, and that even at fourscore years, as proved by autopsies, the arteries have been found to be perfectly sound. He cites the case of the champion old man. Thomas Parr of England, who died at the advanced age of 152 and whose arteries were found by Harvey who discovered the circulation of the bloodon examination after death to be perfectly sound. Dr. Clapp says that within certain limits the arteries do not harden because they are old. but are old because they are diseased. Among- causes for arteriosclerosis he gives overeating, excessive muscular strain and excessive brain work. Worry produces funcUonal disturbances and undue blood pressure. This brings with it arteriosclerosis. He holds that most worries are indulged in without an adequate renson. therefore, and cites the following quotation: I am an old man and have had many troubles, but most of them Eever happened."

OLD PARTIES STUCK To Fill Election Boards at Elwood.

(Xational News Association) ANDERSON, Ind., Nov. 5. Summer weather prevailed today and a big vote is being polled throughout the ! gas belt. The Progressives are active i and keeping a close watch for any ev-1 idence of crooked work. Unusual con ditions prevailed at Elwood. The Democrats and Republicans worked until a late hour last night to complete their election boards and in several precincts the old parties had to draft men into service. In other precincts it was impossible to get a com plete board. With the exception cf i two Republicans in the precincts, all! the voters were either Progressives or j Socialists. COURT HOUSE IS TO BE REDECORATED Indianapolis Painter Secured Contract from Commissioners for $2,500. On a bid of 12,500, Hugh H. Range, of Indianapolis, secured the contract for the redecorating of the interior of the court house, awarded by the board of county commissioners yesterday. The contract calls for the redecorating of the offices and corridor on the second floor and the circuit court room on the third floor. Haner and. Fahlsing submitted a bid of $2,408.93 but because of inferior material the contract was not given this firm. The contract for laying the pipe line from the recently constructed reservoir at the county infirmary to supply infirmary buildings with water was awarded to the Foster Construction company at the bid of fifty-four cents per foot. In addition to this there are three sets of valves and covers, charged at $7 each. The pipe is to be four inches cast iron. John S. Duke was given the contract for constructing the addition to the county jail turnkey's residence, at the bid of $110. The county auditor was instructed to advertise for bids on 100 tons of coal for the county poor farm. The Lona Star of Texas. The origin of the Lone Star flag of the republic of Texas is not entirely clear. The claim has been made that it was unfurled in the present territory of Louisiana in 1S10. but other search ers cannot find earlier trace of it than ; the presentation of such n banner to! the company of Captain Andrew Rob-j Inson In May. 1835. Still another claim I is made for a flag unfurled at VelascoJ Jan. 8. 1830. and said to have been: made by a Miss Troutman of Nash-j ville. Ga. One story has It that the j star came from the fact that Governor Smith, for lack of a seal, used a brass) button from his coat which bore a five pointed star. St. Louis Republic.

SERVIAN RECEIVES BEATIMl TURK Poppedousa on Way to the Front, Is Given Taste of War by a Turk. When Peter Poppendousa came to Richmond last evening on his way to fight in the Servian army, his whole being vibrated with patriotic ardor. He was going to lay down his life, if need be, for the fatherland. As he nurses his head and bruised knuckles today on his way to New York, it may

be said that some of Peter's patriotism is dampened. The sudden change of feeling is attributed to a little encounter he had in front of a resort north of the railroad last evening. He had just refreshed the inner man, and happy with himself, and contented with the manner in which the Balkans were whipping the Turks, Poppendousa stepped under an arc light. In its bright light he spotted a man with Turkish features. A hail, a shout of defiance, and Peter had grappled with Alexandricks, the Turk, who last week led the attack on the Balkan laborers in the Pennsylvania construction camp near Dunkirk. The action under the arc light was fast and furious. But the result was not exactly like the outcome of the fighting across the ocean, for Peter was worsted. Alexandricks landed blow after blow on Peter's hand, and when he had downed him, unmercifully trampled on his hands. When Alexandricks had completed the job to his satisfaction, he refreshed himself at a nearby bar, and before Peter arrived with a policeman he was on his way to the construction camp. Last week Sheriff Kirk of Henry county had to quell a miniature warfare at the camp in which Alexandricks was the leader of the Turks. City Statistics Marriage Licenses.

Such a return from the various state legislatures would give the Democrats eleven ad ditional members in the upper house and also a safe working majority at least between March 4. 1913. and March 4, 1915. It is by no means certain that the Iemoerats can accomplish this feat however. In fact the Republican political oracles are confident that they can't and point to the fact that many of the eighteen Republican Senators whose terms expire come from strong Republican or Progressive states where la the ordinary course of events a Republican or a Progressive would be returned to the Senate in rlace cf the departed.
