Registration Day Shifts and Party Control of Boards
The 1913 legislature altered Indian registration, adopting a single October 29 deadline before elections with possible extra October days if petitions demand. Septembers would only occur if eightie-day petitions succeed, a plan party workers push for. Boone County holds Oct 5 as the sole registration. Election boards will feature Progressive and Democrat inspectors, with Republicans mainly as watchers in most counties. Independent voters, including Beveridge supporters, focus on registering for a constitutional convention.

How the Democratic Machine Burdened Indiana Taxpayers
W. H. Blodgett argues the Tom Taggart Crawford Fairbanks political machine exploited taxpayers in Indiana. He cites 1913 as the peak of salary grabs, with increases for lawmakers, judges, and officials, while wardheelers and lobbyists padded costs. The piece condemns the machine for electioneering to secure raises and labels the 1913 session the costliest in state history.
Taxpayer salaries rise under machine control across counties
A long list shows numerous pay increases across state offices and counties from 1911 to 1925, including judges, clerks, attorneys and inspectors. The piece accuses a political machine of directing salary hikes in Marion and Vanderburgh counties, Indianapolis and beyond, as part of broader state influence.
