WAYNE BUDGET IS INSUFFICIENT FOR ELECTION Cost of Balloting Next Tuesday Will Amount to Considerably More Than Was Anticipated. MUST CaTlTOUNCIL Owing to the fact that the coEt of the election to be held next Tuesday will amount to considerably more than was anticipated when the 1920 county budget was made a special meeting of the county council will be called some time after the election and before the first of next year for the purpose of making an additional appropriation to take care of the election expense deficit After paying for the expenses of the primary election last May and the cost for the registration of voters there remains only $6,536 in the county's election expense appropriation. Additional and unexpected expenses already contracted for the general election next week show that the available funds are insufficient to meet all of the election costs. At the special passion of the legislature in August salaries of election officers were increased considerably. Salaries Increased. There are sixty-six election precincts in Wayne county and each of thirtyeight precinct polling places will have one inspector, two judges, two clerks and two sheriffs. Twenty-eight pol ling places will each have one inspect or, two judges, lour clerks and two sheriffs. The salaries of the inspectors have been increased from $8.00 to $12.00, the judges from $4.00 to $9.00, the clerks from $4.00 to $9.00 and the sheriffs from $3.00 to $6.00. Of the $6,536 election expense appropriation available $4,464 will be paid , out in salaries to election officials. Three extra voting booths for each of the twenty-eight largest precincts had to be provided. These additional booths cost $1,375. Additional cans for receiving ballots had to be provided at a cost of $100 and the expense of having locks put on these additional cans and to have them painted has not been estimated. More Clerks Needed. . "When the county board of election commissioners recently decided to place six instead of three "voting booths in each polling place in the 23 largest precincts they were required by law to appoint the additional clerks for each of these polling places, and the sa!aries of these additional clerks will amount to $504. y No estimates have been made as yet on the cost of printing the ballots and for the various other election supplies. Last spring it was proposed to the county commissioners that they should increase the number of voting precincts in Wayne county because of the prospect of suffrage being granted to women. The commissioners decided to make no change in the precincts and, county officers declare, the decision of the county commissioners was well taken, for as heavy as the expense of the general election is to be under, exisiting circumstances this expense would have been considerably greater if more precincts had been provided.

Parliament recently expressed its approval of bis course by an overwhelming vote on a "confidence" resolution. The British press, however, has criticized the premier's handling of the Irish question.

HOME OWNERSHIP IS UNREST CURE; SAYS COMMITTEE REPORT , . (By Associated Press) , BOSTON, Oct. 29 Industrial homes and gardens are to be one of the major elements of the many factors that make for success in future manufacturing in the opinion of the special committee which submitted a report today to the Associated Industries of Massachusetts at its annual meeting. "A hundred years ago, the great bulk of Massachusetts citizens were home and land owners," said the report, "but today less than five per cent of the industrial workers of the state own their homes. History shows no race of people who have owned land they cultivated who became revolutionists. Russia, France, Mexico all blew up because the people could not gst the land." ' The report presented figures of the cost of labor turnover in certain large industrial plants and pointed out thai homes and gardens would automatically reduce this cost. It suggested that a worker before he invested his savings in a house should be made to feel reasonably sure of regular employment and relieved of the fear of arbitrary discharge.

SUPPRESS MOB RULE, JOHNSON DEMANDS " ilMllICHMONITSPEECH

Colored Republicans, both men and women, crowded Bethel A, M. E. church last evening to hear addresses delivered by Representative Richard N. Elliott and Henry Lincoln Johnson, who probably is the best known colored political leader in the United States and a Republican national committeeman from Georgia. Representative Elliott aroused intense enthusiasm when he declared he would support legislation making lynching a felony. He declared that mob rule must be suppressed. Mr. Elliott also denounced the brutality of American rule in the colored republic of Haiti. He called attention to the fact that there had recently been published a letter, written by General Barnett, of the U. S. marine corps, I in which the general stated that he had been "shocked" by the reports of indiscriminate killings of Haitians since the American occupation of the island. Mr. Johnson declared that to ask him to vote for Cox was paramount to asking him "to go to that place where it is too hot to shovel snow." Denounces Segregation He denounced the segregation laws of the southern states and said that there were no such laws in Republican states. Referring to Mr. Elliott's statement that he intended to vote for an anti-lynching law, Mr. Johnson declared that if Thomas Jefferson or any other dead Democrat had hpard j Mr. Elliott make the statement "they wouia nave iurnea over in tneir graves." "The men who have voted against our interests at Washington are the men whose, ancestors owned our ancestors," Johnson said. "When Mr. Elliott says that he will vote for an anti-lynching law he is following in the footsteps of Warren G. Harding, who has said: 'If I am elected I will use all of my power under the law, and, if the law is inadequate, I will then call upon the army and navy to wipe out mob violence.' When Warren G. Harding says that you do not need to worry about some peg-legged lawyer running about saying that an anti-lynching law is unconstitutional. Just tell him that the supreme court of the United States will decide upon its constitutionality." Predicts Hading's Election. Johnson stated that during the seven years and eight months of the Wilson administration there 'had been 3,961 colored men and women lynched. When he predicted the triumphant election of Harding the big crowd roared its applause. A red fire parade, headed by the Clay Military band of Indianapolis, preceded the meeting and a large number of men and women took part in it. C. R. Richardson, a Richmond attorney, presided over the meeting. Following the meeting there was a dance at the Masonic hall on South Sixth street under the auspices of the colored Harding and Coolidge club.

"The cause of peace is stronger than ever before," stated Governor Cox. "People now know what war is, and they are anxious for a guarantee of peace to the world.
