Indianapolis News: The Indiana Flection Board has placed by telegraph the largest order for inking-pads ever given in America. The board has decided to supply each of the three thousand precincts in the State with three self iriking- pads upon which thp voter may prepare his stamp for business.

Immediately upon this decision having been arrived at the telegraph was used and it was ascertained that there were only twenty-two hundred of the pads in stock in the United States. These were taken and orders were distributed among all the manufacturers tor sixty- eight hundred more. These furnished rapidly to the board, and as fast as received will be distributed to the precincts. Preparations for the election are making on an immense scale. The State's expense alone will be $20,000.

The additional expense to the counties is estimated at a half million. The State furnishes the sample ballots to be posted on the walls, a million ballots bearing the names of the State candidates, ten thousand ink pads, three small metallic tubes of ink to each of the three thousand precincts, and to each election board four copies of the election law and a like number of the decision of the Supreme Court declaring the registration clause invalid. The counties pay the expenses of the members of th election boards, purchase the election booths, print county and legislative tickets, etc; The largest items of expense come from the purchase of of them have been bought at eightepn dollars each, or forty-eight dollars per precinct. An army of 21,000 men will be. in the employ of thfe counties on November 4..

This'is .12,000 men more than were employed under the old law. There are 3,000 precincts against 1,800 heretofore. The new law provides for seven election officers to the precinct, making of 21,000. Formerly there were five men to the precinct on the pay-roll. All the election officers will be voters.

Their pay will vary from $5 each. The State law fixes the pay of the election Sheriffs the rate of $1.50. The candidate hereafter will be spared one expense. He will have no pasters to pay for. The only stickers used are by "the poll clerks.

These are prepared by the election boards and are to be iised in certain proscribed emergencies only. For instance if a candidate should die or be wilrTdravm after the tickets are printed and distributed, the name of his successor is printed on slips 1 and distributed to the election clerks and by them pasted ve the name of the defunct candidate. Two changes have occurred so far in the State tickets, but both of them before the State ballots were distributed. They were both prohibitionists. Branson died, and his successor as candidate for Treasurer, Eli J.
