INDIANAI'ÜLIS. Ind.. July 10. I'ailure of Gov. Goodrich to have the election laws amended at the one day sp'cial legislative session last wlntf-r ha-s presented a perplexing probleni to the boards of county commissicners and to both the democrats and republicuan organizations. Tarty workers of both orK'inizatlor.s who have discovered that th' Kovornor'a vacilation In Mimrnoninj; the second session will s-rius!y hamlirap the taking of polls and that it may interfere with, th first registration on September 1. are voicing iL op resentment aK ii.nst Gov. (ioodrich's apparent attempt to make political capital out of tiie convocation of the lawmakers. The election law amendment

which will be submitted to the frpecial session will authorize tho boards of county commissioners at their first meeting on August 2, to revise the precincts in order to care for the lncjriased number of voters lue to the fact that women will be admitted to the polls for the first time. Tho re-arrangement of the precincts will be a huge task in many of the countries and where no pr liminary work has been done it will impos a tremendous burden on the commissioners. llat Is Xweshary. The necessity for haste in perfecting the new precinct boundaries is apparent because it must 'be comp!ted in time to prepare for the registration. According to the law the commissioners "shall, at least 15 days before the session of the board of registration, provide and secure In each precinct of the county a suitable room" for holding the registration. Compliance with that provision will give the commissioners only a little more than two wt-tks to complete the task of revising the precincts and preparing for the registration, and In many places it is said an almost unsurmouritablo burden will be placed on the county oihcinls.

Handlet p To Auditors. County auditor will also be seriously handicapped because they must issue supplies to the registration officials at least 10 days before September i. One of the most difficult problems to be solved, however will be the taking of the party polls at the lato dat. Party leaders are recalling that the matter of providing for women voters was brought to the covernor's attention when he held the one daysession last winter, but that ho rofused to include It in the call In order that he might uso it to force the second extra assembly. Amendatory election law legislation at any time during the spring, it is Bald, would have obviated the present situation. There Is little doubt, according to persons close to (kov. Goodrich, but that the second session would have been called before the primary had it not been for tho opposition of Warren T. McCray, who was then in a struggle for the republican gubernatorial nomination, and who feared, it ia said, the effect a legislative session would have on hi3 candidacy.

In the old days J was working on the right reir whel cf a powerful roadster and I was proud as a peacock cf my jcb. Now I'm lying on a Junk-pile, discarded and forgotten.

Whenever he landed mo in deep rir.9 wdth prickly iddcrf he seemed tho happiest, livery time we hit a rutted trail, he stepped on the accelerator and away we went. My sldewalls were stabbM. fled, rawed and gouged by the prongs of the hard dirt grooves. I was covered win scars and my carcass was cruelly cut. It's a wonder that I stood it ns loner as I did. Finally, however, I pravo out. My owner cursed, and threw me away. He said 1 was a worthless tire and r.13' mu.kor was a robber' can you heat it? Perhaps by this time' he has learned that tires will stand only so much and no more. I hopo he has, for the sake of the other tires on his car. They deserve a better fate than mine.
