In ull his public career 'lie lias never voted for a single measure to your interest unless he felt he; had to for political reasons. The republican year book criticizes the democrats for not going into war two years sooner than they did. It. would have cost a million lives. The same .book lias many other instructions that show the unfairness of Will Hays and his crowd. j Democratic workers plan to assist in getting the vote out. Don't leave this to a few people. It's too liig a job and it's too important. In each precinct there should be an orgujiization of men and women for election day. Hear Congressman Sims at the court house Saturday night if you want to understand the great issues of the most important campaign ever waged in this country.

i ings of Jimmy Cox as well as those of every speuker, national, state and : local, Indicate the great trend of the I,! voters to the democratic tlckot. The people may boa little slow in awakr - oning but when they do, you can't r fool them. A school for voters will he conduct- , "d at headquarters in this city all j next week, also at Berne, Geneva and other places In the county. You ! can easily learn how to vote. It’s I i not difficult and you should have till.- - 1 mu»h Interest In the affairs of gov eminent. Mrs. Puller who spoke here last ' night proved that women can dc things. Her understanding of the great issues of the campaign and hei ". aimer of presenting it, puts her in a class with the great statesmen oi ■ day. She will have a big part in Hi" affairs of this country in the fu I lure. Compare the men on the county tickets and you will find that each and every man nominated hy the ; democrats is qualified and splendidly fitted t'or the position he seeks. 'I hey want to serve you and will dc it well. There is a thousand reason?why you should support them am none why you should not. The republicans are still trying tc win the election in a ‘'gum shoe campaign,” secret meetings, faki literature, appealing to the prejudices of the people. Why don’t they come nut and discuss issues? They don’t i dare to and they know' it. They are wrong in the state, they are wrong in the county and they are wrong on every national issue. It ought to be plain to the voters. A republican speaker here recently said that the government bought thousands of branding ironsg. and never branded a horse. People who live here know that was just another mis-statement made in the wrong place for hundreds of horses were

> branded by the government, right I here in Decatur. The campaign has ■ been one of misrepresentation by the i Hays crowd and its no wonder the roar back Is strong. Remember that the democratic ticket is found in the second column cn the ballot. Put your mark In the circle containing the rooster and >ou may feel assured that you are voting for the best interests of your county, state and nation. It’s your party, It’s for you and not for the senatorial cabal. Keep Jim Watson t home, elect democrats to state and ■ounty office and thus assure protecion of your rights. Centralized pow--r is a bad thing that’s what the republicans stand for. — " 'j L. H. Wright, head of the republican highway commission says he ■xpects to spend thirty million dolors next year. He will probably build some more garages and have tn army of political ''pikers” on his •ay roll. They have boasted that hey will build up a political machine that can’t be overthrown in the next -core of years. This is the time o stop this highway hold up by the lighway commission. We all believe n good roads but we want some reurn for our dollars. The Berne Witness in a fruitless effort to defend the rotten tax law ■ays the county tax last year was 28 cents and this year is 92 cents. tsut the facts are that the county tax ast year was 49.2 including bridges, urnpike and general and this year was reduced to 45 cents. It's the same old trick of telling you any- j hing and hoping you will believe it. Tiie citizens of Monroe township will ->end $9,133.76 to the state next year. [ m increase of $3,588.19 and you get nothing in return for it. Senator Harding says he has never wavered in his position on the league. Do you remember immediately after his nomination he deelarid we would have a league after it ,vas passed by a republican congress? Do you remember that he told the 1 Indiana delegation from his front porch that he "had scrapped the league” and would have none’ Do 1 you remember that later he “wob- j b'.ed” on to the idea of a concert of ( nations? Do you remember his declaration at Des Moines that he i ‘had turned his back upon the ! league” and was through? Do you 1 understand his position now. If you 11 do you have a mind as elastic as the candidates. , Mrs. Gertrude Breslau Fuller proved her right to the title of "Joan of Arc” last night. She is a wonderful woman, with the ability of few. Her address was masterful, clear, touched the heart and brain of every listener who gave her a fair chance by getting her complete speech. She i has fought for peace for fifteen years and will keep on fighting because she believes in it. She was reared a re-; publican and fed upon the doctrines of that party but she recognizes the great battle now being made by the i democratic party and is leading hei ' support. Her speech here was her forty-fourth since August Ist aud she lias toured several states. Hundreds I of people have learned a great lesson from her words. The new tax law does not oul> make us send many thousands of dol lars more to the state, besides thi automobile tax which is taken uwa> from tiie county, but the increase! valuations make it possible and necessary for increases in local taxes. The way to stop this is to vote for Mi Culloch for he promises to restore your rights and to take away fron the board at Indianapolis the author ity to conduct our affairs. Don’t for get that the first official act of the tax board was to slap 071 a thirty per cent horizontal increase to your valuation and then after the supreme court held it illegal, notified the loca. board of review that unless thej agreed to the increase they would ■ not approve their report. — ggggj Tiie new tax law will cost Monroe township next year au increased I amount of $3,588.19. Under the old | law you sent in $5,645.57 and undei

the new law next year you will hand over $9,133.76. if the republican administration has any defense or any explanation of the expenditure of this vast sum raised in the state, they have never given it out. They don’t dare to. It cost more than I SBO,OOO overhead to construct six miles of highway. They built a garage at a cost of $82,000, they repaired the state house without letting a contract. They have taken care of hundreds of men with easy jobs to build up a political organization. You can stop this work at the polls on November 2nd by voting the democratic ticket. It’s up to you. Mrs. Fuller Pleads For The Cause of Democracy (Continued from page one) stay out longer? Mrs. Fuller advised those interested to send fifty cents to the World Pease Foundation, No. 40 Mt. Vernon street, Boston, and secure the peace library ind to buy and read “The War, the World and Wilson,” edited by Harper Bros. They say the president was arbitrary. Yet after the first draft was made, he accepted fifteen reservations from Taft, Hughes and Root and Stic ceeded in having them added. These men were willing to vote for the league until it got into politics. Now, shall we throw away all this work to give political honor to a few men? The senatorial cabal held a meeting and decided to oppose any covenant brought bjick by the president. It was war to end war, and it will in a few vears be an honor to have subscribed to the league. The whole world knew our aims, not a foot of territory, not, j a dollar of tribute, but to prevent war. No one objected then. Only the pol itician objects now. “They say if we enter this league and England or some other nation gets into trouble, our boys w'ill be ordered overseas. That’s a lie, and they know it,” declared Mrs. Fuller The strongest word in the league covenant is “advise” anil that’s the key. If we consider and advise with each other there will be no wars. Mothers and fathers don’t want war. do they? j The republican national committee | in the “year book” advise speakers | and editors to call it “Wilson’s league” when they speak of the league of nations and not to mention the president’s name except in ridicule, and to say the democrats are wobblers and then they nominted for president the greatest “wiggler and wobbler” the world has ever known. Discussing j tiie charge that England has six votes to our one. Mrs. Fuller showed that j ten countries over which tAis nation has control, each has a vote in the assembly and will more than offset England, but that any one can nullify any action. As a further check, congress has final action. In the execu- ✓ tive counsel which is over the assembly there are five permanent members, the United States being one and j four others. The speaker also spoke of the other achievements of the administration, the federal reserve act and its good, , the farm loan act and others. She showed that of all the money now collected by the government, ninetythree per cent, goes for war purposes and only seven per cent, for ail other purposes. She gave this as the rea son for the high cost of living. The president seven days after the war dosed asked congress for seven new laws to check the profiteer and was defused all, because Penrose. Watson. Smoot and the others were in power ,in the senate. They had one majorj ity and that was Newberry of Michigan, under sentence for securing his election by corruptness. , Mrs. Fuller was born a republican and reared upon orthadox republican speeches but she is a democrat now, because she believes in the great fight they are making for the people . The democratic platform is clear and definite, the candidate is brave and honest and splendid. We don’t want a j president who the people of Ohio i voted 110,000 against for governor. See | that you keep Jim Watson at home, he has done enough damage. She closed with an appeal to the men and women not to quit until we have secured the Ijhings for which are democratic party now stands, peace, plenty and prosperity and voiced her belief that Jimmy Cox will be triumphantly elected on , November 2ml.
