Counties See Bull Moose Pluralities Diminish Since 1912
In two Indiana counties Elkhart and Lagrange the 1912 Bull Moose pluralities have collapsed this year as registration totals fall. Elkhart declined from 15 170 in 1912 to 12 649, and Lagrange from 4 270 to 3 901. Democratic officials attribute the drop to anti fraud agitation and fear among party workers. Election boards prepare a county ballot quota by verifying totals and adding two thousand plus 25 percent to cover losses.
