by the county c omnilssioners i carried out bs th estimate of County Clerk Wilbur M. Warner. The precincts into which the county I" now divided, it im thought, will be entirely Inadequate to meet th increase in population and th additional votes of the women. "About 105 precincts should be made in the county if there la to be a new apportionment," said Mr. Warner. "While this would mako the vote liffht in some precincts thl year, that number will be necessary t care for th increase in population which Is sure to come in tho next few years." According to Mr. Warner's estimate 13 precincts should be made in the rural districts of the county. This is hut one over the present number. "Lincoln township with Walkerton in its should be divided

j into two precincts," he said.

r.:'; , .', . er number of precincts to take care :'JiySyV-;$. ! of the Increases there In the opin

ion of Mr. Warner should be 20. There are hu: eiht at the present time. Seventy preelr.cts will l necessary to take care of South Rend in future elections. There are but 31 nt the present time in the city. This nev climate is expected to be adeouate for the needs of the city for the next 10 years. "The new apportionments are estimated on a population in South Bend of 125,000 and 25.000 in Mlsha-

waka," said Mr. Warner. 'I hardly!

expect any change in the rural opillation." llstiinatt of Voters. Figures of the election of November, 191, showed a registration of 19,000 and 1 1,000 votes cast. The proportion of votes to thr number of people ree;isterin?r usually higher. Many soldiers reisN-rin? who left before voting and others who mailed their registrations did not vote are the causes jriven for this. Uf the votes cast in that election, r.bout 2, TOO wer- cast in the rural districts, 2,300 in Mishawaka and 9.00() in South Bend. The repistra-

! ions in the country and cities were

pi oportiona tely the same. Takinpr that election as a basis of estimate and making allowance for

J th increase in population, women ' rotrs and added lntYit in a prej-

dentlal election, the vote for 192 -in the countv is estimated at beut 32,000. rrobablc lUjcitratjon. There will probably be 24,000 men and 1 4.000 women register in the county. Takir.tr the usual perccntac;.? in previous elections, there would be vote cast of 2 0,000 men and 12,OCf women. The division of voting in the county is estimated as follows: Rural districts. 4.000; Ml?hawaka, 7,000; South Bend, 21.000. "This would be rr.y estimate for this year," said Mr. Warner. "I think the precinct-; should be fixed to take care of a vote of 50, 000- in the county." The estimate of the number of precincts needed in South Bend. Mishawaka and the rural ditrlcts is basd on COO voters to each precinct. This. thinks Mr. Warner, would he a fair average for the present and would allow for an Increase up to 400 in each precinct without unduly crowding: the voting machines. A voting machine counting 400 votes In a day would average nearly a voto a minute. . New Bill's Prmi-o. The bill granting suffrage to women recently passed at a special session of the state legislature provides for "separate ballot boxes and ballots." This Is Interpreted by many

to mean a strict forbiddance of the use of voting machines for the feminine votes. Separate registration for women Is also specified In the bill Although there was considerable doubt in the minds of many as to just what offices the women would he allowed to vote, the concensus of opinion now is thf.t they may vote on presidential electors only. The county commissioners have taken up xthe advlslbility of reapportioning the precincts of the county and steps have been taken toward that end. If taken up thus year, this work must be done by the March term of the commissioner's court. Prices quoted to the commissioners place- the cost of one voting machine at $1.072.50. If new precincts are establbhed it will necessitate the purchase of many of these machines.
