REGISTRATION TANGLE MAY COST THOUSANDS; HUGHES GAINS FAVOR

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 10. In a majority of the counties of the state it will be necessary to hold a complete new registration of voters : this , fall. The new registration will be required, it is estimated, in at least 60 per cent of the precincts of the state. In many counties the entire county will have to re-register, .while in other counties the new registration will be required in only a part of the precincts. The registration day will be October 9. May Burn Poll Books. The registration law says that the polling list kept by the poll clerks at the polls in each, precinct shall be a permanent registration of voters in that precinct, but it is also provided that these poll books may be destroyed six months after the election has been held. In at least 60 per cent of the precincts, it is said, these poll books were destroyed, so that there is now no accurate and official list of the voters who voted in those precincts at the last election. The law says that in any precinct in which the county auditor is unable to ascertain the list of legal voters who voted at the last preceding election the auditor shall give notice of a new registration of voters, and that it shall be under the terms of the registration law. Inasmuch as the poll books kept by the election clerks furnish the only authentic and official list, the. new registration must take place in every precinct ,in which the poll bpoks were destroyed after the election. Kink is Discovered. This kink in the registration law was discovered some time ago, and Governor Ralston appointed a commission consisting of W. H. Thompson, representing the Republicans; Reginald H. Sullivan, representee the Democrats, and W. D. Headrick, representing the Prograssives, to make a study of the question and formulate a decision as to what should be done. The state chairmen of the three par ties agreed to accept the decision of this commission. The commission has just given its. decision, and it 'is as stated above. .''' Legislature Blamed A new registration in sixty percent of the precincts of the state will cost many thousands of dollars, all of which could have been avoided if the Democratic legislature thatenacted the registration law had taken reasonable. care to provide'" against the destruction of .the poll books. It is suspected by some that in many precincts the poll books were purposely destroyed in order to wipe out all evidence of illegal voting but nobody knows in how many precincts this was the case." ' " . '. . The vigorous speeches of Charles E. Hughes thus far on his ' campaign trip, have made a great hit with the n vi: . l. . rvcimuuuanss cere., i ne manner in which Hughes attacks and shows up the administration for its vacillating policy of government has , revealed the candidate for president as a campaigner of the. most active type. His speeches already furnished much material for. the Republicans of his state to Use in the campaign, and they are proposing to make the best possible, use of what he says.. . Since' Hughes started on his campaign trip and began making his sledge hammer speeches there is a greater demand' than ever for speeches by him in In diana. ' It begins to look as if every body in the state wants to hear him. Party On Defensive 'Already Hughes has put the Democrats on the defensive," one prominent Republican said today, "and the whole administration is busy denying

presidency as 50,000 persons lining -

and explaining. . If Hughes keeps on going the Democrats. will be so busy explaining that they will not have time for anything, else." It is nOw said that the Progressive national headquarters may be brought to Indianapolis and the national campaign of that remnant be carried on from here. Edwin M. Lee, Progressive state chairman, has taken additional rooms in the Lemcke building and it is said that they will be used for that purpose. Certain it is that Lee had no need of more room for the state headquarters. The state campaign, such as it will be, could be conducted by Lee from his coat pocket, but the national campaign would require a little more room. . Indiana Banner State It is pointed out that if the Progressive leaders count Indiana as one of their banner states and of suf ficient importance to them to warrant their locating their national headquarters here, their party is in a hard row of stumps, because the Progressive party in Indiana is but a shadow. . Local committees in charge of arrangements for the Fairbanks notification on August 31, are pushing their work, and indications are that this will be one of the largest political gatherings held in this city in years. Plans have been made for the notification meeting in the afternoon and a big Republican rally at night. 200 FLOORS PLACED FOR TENTED CAMP; BIG TOP ARRIVES "The big top," the 90xlS0 tent that will form the auditorium for the Rich mond Chautauqua arrived this morn ing and by noon work of erecting the huge canvas was well under v ay.
