iSTATE READY
\ FOR OPERATION
OF SUFFRAGE
Probable That Separate Ballot
ing Provision Will Be
Disregarded.
ELECTION COSTS JUMP
Indiana is prepared for* operation of
the national suffrage amendment.
Necessary legislation to provide for
full suffrage for women was enacted by
the legislature In thei special session
which adjourned July SO.
Senate bill No. 406, introduced on the
third day of the session by Senator
Dobyns, makes provision for the print
ing of sufficient ballots to provide for
women voting in every precinct of the
state.
Indiana women were granted the right
to vote for presidential electors Feb. 6.
1919, and provision was made at that
time for their registration.
However, by that act, provision was
trade that separate ballots and ballot
boxes should be provided for women citi
zens in each precinct, and it was stated
that provision should be made for sep
arate registration of women.
Whether or not the provisions of that
act must be carried out, now that full
suffrage has been granted, la to be deter
mined.
PROVIDE
FOR WOMEN.
By the provisions of the Dobyns bill,
boards of commissioners in the various
counties were authorized to change pre
cinct boundaries in their respective coun
ties to provide facilities for the increased
number of electors due to the enfran
chsemeat of women.
Such changes, however, if made in the
year 1920, were not to be made later
than Aug. 8. ✓
Members of the state board of elec
tion commissioners stated today that the
uee of separate ballots for women will
be dispensed with, as well as separate
voting places.
It is thought that with extra clerks,
and the use of both voting rfachines
and the Australian ballot, voting may
be speeded up In some of the larger pre
cincts.
By dispensing with separate voting
places a large additional expense will
be saved.
It is estimated by members of the
board that the granting of the ballot
to women in Indiana will mean an addi
tional 25 per cent In the cost of the
election.
This will mean an increase in the cost
of election next November of approxi
mately $74,000. which added to the cost
of the 191S eleetloh, $295,540. will make
an expenditure of about $369,540 in the
1920 balloting.
NO CHANGES
IN' PRECINCTS.
No changes in proMnet boundaries this
year may be made, as the time limit far
such change expired Aug. S.
It is estimated nearly 800.000 voters
will be added to the Indiana electorate
by the ratification of the suffrage amend
ment.
This additional cumber will* not act
as a clog in the machinery of the two
leading political parties, or of the state
board of election coaunissiocers. as plans
have been laid for some time, and wom
en's organizations have been under way
by the two large parties for the past
few months.
Additional ballots In the various coun
ties will be ordered by the county board
of election cominisisoners on an esti
mate of the number needed instead of
in the usual manner of ordering one
and one-half times the number of votes

GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.
Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair wten faded, streaked or gray.
Tears ago the only way to get this mix
ture was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by
asking at any drug store for •‘Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound.” you will
get a large bottle of this famous old
recipe, Improved by the addition of other
lngwdlents, at a small cost.
Don’t stay gray! Try it! No one can
possibly tell that you darkened your hair,
ae it does it. so naturally and evenly Tou
dampen a sponge or soft brush with it
and~Qraw thie.through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair be
comes beautifully dark, glossy and at

Mr. James H. Allen suffered for years,
with rheumatism. Many times this ter
rible disease left him and un-/
able to work.
He finally decided, after veara of
reaselesg study, that no one can he free
from rhenmatism until the accumulated
impurities,-commonly called uric acid de
posits, were dissolved in the joints and
muscles and expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and finally
compounded a prescription that quickly
and completely banished every sign ana
symptom of rheumatism from his sys
tem.
He freely gave his diseoverv to others
who took it, with what might be called
marvelous success. After years of urg

cast for secretary of state in the last
preceding general election.
An estimate places the number of vot
ers in the state, with the added elector
ate, at approximately 1,000,000, of whom
from 750,000 to 800,000 are women.
The estimate places the total number
of male voters at 505,391, of which 779,-
115 are white and 20,765 colored.
FIRST STEP TAKEN ,
RECOGNIZING WOMEN
The first step in recognizing Marion
county women as voters with complete
franchise was taken today by County
Auditor Leo K. Fesler, when arrange
ments were made to register women as
well as men Sept. 4 and Oct. 5.
Mr. Fesler estimates the new regis
tration will jump from the present poll
of 70.000 to from 125,000 or 140,000.
"I am informed by republican poll
takers that there will be about as many
women qualified to register as men,”
said Mr. Fesler.
The auditor recalled that more men
registered In New York City than women,
while in Chicago the Vomen out-regis
tered the men.
Two yeurs ago the cost of registering
the men voters in this couhtry totaled
$12,790, but this year it probably will
reach $15,000, according to Fesler.
Mr. Fesler is of the opinion that wom
en registration officials will be appointed
this year, as the inspectors are named
by the country commissioners, while
each of the tvo leading parties select
a clerk.
“It will be up to the county chairmen
of theMwo leading parties to appoint the
women members on the registration
board,” said the auditor.
Women will be governed by the same
rules and regulations as the men at both
the registration and the election this
fall.
Mr. Fesler Is of the opinion that there
will be no woman’s party at this time
as the only way they could get on the

The Wm. ft BLOCK Co.*,
ballot this fall would be to file as inde
pendents or be appointed to fill a vacancy
on the ticket of aoy political party now
In existence.
Under the federal constitutional
amendment, the women In Marion
county will vote this fall on voting ma
chines and this will cause the county
commissioners to purchase approxi
mately thirty new machines at a cost of
about $1,200 each.
In some of the big voting precincts in
the northern part of the county, two
voting machines will be used in order to
assure a complete vote.
‘‘Of course, the women will vote slow
ly at this election because they are not
as familiar with the voting machines sk
the men,” said Mr. Fesler, in explain
ing that he will' co-operate wifi' all par
ties In instructing women In the meth
of handling them.
The election two years ago cost $27,-
000 and the cost this fall will probably
reach $30,000, not including machines
to/ be purchased.
At the election, an Inspector, two
Judges and two clerks will be appointed
for each precinct and it is certain that
both of the leading parties will recog
nize women as officials this fall.
Mr. Fesler estimates there will be
