■moranandtyndallopen IdEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN [IMPORTANT NATIONAL AND LOCAL I QUESTIONS DISCUSSED BY ABLE I SPEAKERS AT GENEVA BEFOBE BIG I CROWD LAST NIGHT.

r Geneva, Ind.. Oct. 6.—(Special toj I I Daily Democrat >— Speaking to a fair • I sized gatherings, from " ,p band s,an ‘V I l on the main corner in the town of ! I Geneva. Hon. James Moran, of Port-; II land, and the Hon. John W. Tyndall,! 11 ()1 Decattir. delivered the keynote [ II speeches which opened the campaign II in Adams county for the Democratic 1“ party. Due to the fact that the meeting was not largely advertised only a fair sized crowd was in attendance, hut those who were there were tor the most part, greatly impressed by the] messages which these two very capable men brought before them. Mi. Moran, who was Introduced by Kenneth Shoemaker, who presided at j II the meeting, was the first to occupy; [I the stand and for better than an hour || he explained his mission and quoted | I1 £tatiei»U's from tax duplicates, and ! !| comments of the recent doings of Con- [ | gress, by the great Hob LaFollette. rei | publican senator from Wisconsin. Moran Discusses Tariff ! Discussing the tariff question Mr. I t I Moran showed very clearly how the; I I emergency tariff, passed by the ReI publicans only a short time after they t assumed control of affairs, had failed I in its purposes, and stated that it was ; I his belief that the present law was I merely the same proposition in a' I mors elaborate form and prvxUeMd j | that there would be absolutely no re- • I! lief for the small merchant and the' i farming elements of this great coun- I try of ours from the present measure. Cunningly designed, it was not I meant as a great revenue producer, I but as a matter of fact, will merely j react and bring about temporary in- i fiation of prices of home commodities [ which will set us beck in the neigh borhood of a million dollars annually, j and produce no real benefits to the [ great masses of people. Discussing the tax question as re-1 gards our state affairs, Mr. Moran • said our taxes had in the brief method of two years doubled and in many instances trebled and that as long as we were willing to uphold and support a form of government and a party which openly catered to the commission and board form of government, we did not need to expect any [ relief. But that as he saw it, relief i could only come by entrusting the i government of the state affiairs into 1 the hands of the party who has| pledged to abolish a large number of i useless boards and commissions. I whose sole purpose of existance is, merely to help spend the money which! the common people of Indiana have, been pouring so freely into the cot fers of the state government. Tyndall Draws Applause Immediately after Mi. Moran had completed his speech, Hon. John W.' Tyndall took the platform and for an additional thirty minutes, he followed the discusion of Mr. Moran, al-1 •hough it was late and the crowd was growing restless, for seating an audience for an out door meeting is rather a difficult proposition. Nevertheless Mr. Tyndall put new life into the meeting with bis straight-forward remarks on topics of national inter-1 est and local interest as well, and brought a great amount of applause •rom his hearers. Although Mr. Tyn'•all had but a short time to discuss! bls views, he expressed his wish to •'turn to Geneva before the campaign! *as over and give a more lengthy discusaion to preset day problems and •ow he would like to help meet them ln the next session of congress. ■'ll in all the meeting was a suc<es-’. It was the first meeting of conB(l( iuence in the county and from this time oh. the people should and will be tfven ample opportunity to hear the Questions of the hour discussed from oth angles, and they should ba able °x? t 0 P °H S on tbe seventh day o November and cast an intelligent ae they see fit, and it (Continued on page five)

PEACE PABLEY BREAKS DOWN — British Troops Enter Constantinople Following Temporary Failure By EDWARD J. BING United Press Staff Correspondent i Constantinople, Oct. 6.—The Grenadier Guards, crack British regiment, tramped into Constantinople today, following the breakdown of the Mudania peace conference and the approach of Kemalist cavalry toward this former Turkish capital. The British force, brought here by . the Empress of India, swung through the streets, band playing, colors unfurled and Constantinople’s European population went wild with joy. Christians see in the troops a bulwark against an Ottoman threat to take Constantinople by force and march through to Thrace, if the allies do not immediately cede this territory to Mustapha Kemal. Meanwhile, the secret conference at Mudania has ended in temporary fail | ure. The exact tantses are not known, be. cause of the ban against correspondents. It Is reported that Turkish j greed, once the allies showed signs ! of giving way regarding Thrace, caus[ed an abrupt ending of the parley. Another report is that the Greek rep I resentative, General Mazarakis, refitsj ed to acquiesce in the slightest degree to Greece withdrawing from Thrace. The Turks are understood to have de manded that the handing over of Thrace and Constantinople take place i immediately while it was the idea o. the allies that this should not be done j until after the next peace conference. As a result of this impasse, Mustapha Kemal has come personally to take part in the dispute and will meet with General Hariugton. British representative at Broussau, tomorrow. The Mudania conference, it was said today, might be resumed this evening but this was unlikely, In view of the . fact that Harington and Kemal plan to meet. Broussau is near Mudania. j just outside the neutral zone. The Turks continue to withdraw • from the Chanak area, but are mass- • ing cavalry in what is feared to be a threat against Constantinople. They , are at Ismid on the edge of the neutral zone. By LLOYD ALLEN United Press Staff Correspondent | London, Oct. 6.—France and Britain have been brought once more to log--1 gerheads by developments at Mudania ■ during the allied Turk preliminary peace parley. | Ixtrd Curzon, foreign secretary, went hurriedly to Paris today to talk di rectly with Premier Poincare regard ing M. Franklin Bouillon's interven 1 tlon in the near east and France’s support of the Turks at the confer ence.

MANY DEAD AND HOMELESS TODAY Canadian Forest Fires Bring Destruction and Death to Many (lulled Press Service.! Toronto, Oct. 6. — (Special to Daily Democrat) — Thirty-five dead, six thousand homeless, eight towns in complete ruin and damage amounting to probably $10,000,000 is the incomplete toll today of a terrific, multiple forest fire which swept tile district of Temiskaming. Fifteen bodies have been recovered at Naileybury, 17 at Heaslip and three at Charlton. Haileybury, county seat, was raze;! by withering flames which were fanned by strong southwest winds and the fire cut a path, through the central section of the stricken district. Refugees are pouring into North Bay with stories of the disaster that exceed in horror anything Canada lias known since the Mathieson conflagration of 1916. Automobiles, wagons and conveyances of every description still crowded roads leading from the district today, as a check up showed the full extent of the disaster. In some sections the tires, fought by volunteers, still burned. Rain which fell last night checked the main conflagration however, and saved the district in the path of the flames. Robert Bonds, his wife, their eight hildren and Bond’s wife's brother. John Marshall. 11, were found sutflcated in a house where they had taken refuge from the flames. While it will be days before any thing like an accurate estimate of the! deathtoll can be arrived at, it is be ; lieved that least sixty lives were lost, j Other Fires Still Burn Other fires in various parts of the I province of Quebec were sweeping ■ their consuming way today, still threatening villages through which the endless stream of refugees pour ed Part of northern Ontario lies, a , wasted, charred area, literally a des-! ert. From this territory, as flames de-1 voured wood patches, farms and towns streamed men, women and j children, terror striken. Families were 1 , separated on the long trails, and strangers carried along little children for whom mothers sought in vain. The rapidity with which the flames swept the district, where small in flammable timber lent itself readily to the conflagration, was responsible for the heavy loss of life. Thirty days of drought prepared this section for the devastation. Rains which mercifully checked the main body of flame saved many lives and villages, but left the province witli a terrible tool of deaths and

property loss to consider today. Reports County Infirmiry in Very Good Condition After visiting the County Infirmiry yesterday, the Board of Charities reported that the grounds and building were being kept jn splendid condi- [ tlon, and that the treatment accorded the inmates was fine. The members of the board were high in their, praise for Harry P. LaFountain, superintendent of the inflrmiry. The premises were reported to be clean and attractive.
