INTRODUCTION A half century ago, there was a crying need for Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup among the children of Indiana. To day, those of the children of ’66’ who have survived the tak- ing ways of malaria, the White Caps and the automobile, are engaged in the mad rush for wealth and too busy to spend weeks and months poring over, and wading through, the long drawn-out detailed, dry facts of history as here tofore doled out to Indiana readers; hence this little volume. It is designed to take the place of Mother Winslow’s concoction as the crying need of a busy public. This work is not intended to belittle the efforts of such historians as have gone before.

This publication is written primarily for local election officials who process voter registration forms and conduct elections. Others who might find this publication helpful include candidates, political parties, and members of the public and media. This guidebook is designed to serve as a resource for voter registration issues. Although the Election Division staff has taken every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information in this publication, where your legal rights and responsibilities are involved, do not rely on this manual. Instead, review the law yourself or consult your attorney. We want to emphasize the importance of your compliance with applicable voter registration laws. Handling and processing voter registration applications properly can make the difference in whether someone is eligible to vote or run for office as a candidate, or not. This publication attempts to outline the process for maintaining accurate registration records as well as the more common questions asked on Election Day regarding voter eligibility issues. County officials who mishandle voter registration issues can expose the county to lawsuits, and anyone who mishandles applications can expose themselves to criminal liability.

  • 1/20/05 State Seal
    Indiana’s State Seal – An Overview January 21, 2005 Pamela J. Bennett, Indiana Historical Bureau, State of Indiana Alan January, Indiana State Archives The story of the Indiana Seal is long and interesting. Aside from the general meaning of the seal’s symbolism, the question of whether the sun in the seal is setting or rising has occasioned the most comment. This Overview provides the official sources in tracking the seal’s history. It also provides commentary from various general histories, newspapers, and other publications. In addition to the sources noted in this Overview, the papers gathered by Charles R. Brown in his research on the seal are preserved in the Indiana State Archives. There are hundreds of documents in the Indiana State Archives containing various versions of the seal. The Indiana State Seal clipping file in the Indiana State Library has many items (published and unpublished) about the seal’s history. Sections that follow: I. 1787 – Creation of the Northwest Territory—rising sun in commentary II. 1800 – Indiana Territory—setting sun in commentary III. December 11, 1816 – State of Indiana—setting sun in bill IV. 1895 Session of the Indiana General Assembly—setting sun in report and bill V. 1905 “discussion” about the seal —setting sun and rising sun commentaries VI. A Comment from 1919—rising sun VII. 1963 Adoption of Seal and Description—setting sun in description VIII. 2004 Session of the Indiana General Assembly—bill to change setting sun to rising sun IX. 2005 Session of the Indiana General Assembly—bill to change setting sun to rising sun X.

  • The Word “Hoosier”
    The Word “Hoosier” by Jeffrey Graf Reference Services Department Herman B Wells Library Indiana University Libraries - Bloomington I can tell you from experience that if you mention this in a book 250 people from Indiana will write to you with 250 different explanations and the unanimous view that you are a dunce. (Bill Bryson) “Indiana is the Hoosier State, inhabited by Hoosiers, whatever they may be,” reads in part an article that appeared in the March 13, 1875 issue of the British magazine Chambers’s Journal of Popular Literature, Science and Arts. (“American Nicknames,” 1875, p. 171) A century later, the philosopher Henry Babcock Veatch, an Indiana native, spoke at a symposium dinner honoring him. During his address, “Can philosophy Ever be a Thing for Hoosiers?” he remarked, “I can hear our chairman, Wilfried Ver Eecke, muttering to himself, ‘But who or what, in God’s name, is a Hoosier?’” (Veatch, 1983, p. 1) Michael Wilkerson in his essay “Indiana Origin Stories” asks, “What in the world is a Hoosier?” (Wilkerson, 1989, p. 13) On the eve of Super Bowl XLI between the Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts (Colts 29, Bears 17), Charles Leroux put the question in his Chicago Tribune article of January 30, 2007, “So, what the heck is a Hoosier?” They are not alone in their puzzlement, rhetorical or not. What, then, is a hoosier? Where did the word come from? Or as Mario Pei wondered, “Who first inflicted Hoosiers on the people of Indiana…?” (Pei, 1967, p. 131) Like barnacles, a thick crust of speculation has gathered over the word “Hoosier” to explain the origin of Indiana’s nickname.
