The, vast claims of the republican leaders ( have dwindled until now they will be content with any kind of a victory, and are hoping for that only on the theory that the big majority of two | years ago cannot be overturned. The : democrats have made the best organization they have had in years and have featured attacks on the tariff law and the high taxes with splendid results. ludications are that they will win in the election one week from tomorrow. The following appeared in yesterday's Indianapolis News: ‘ John X M. Adair, of Portland, for merly representative, in the congress from the Eighth Indiana district and Democratic nominee for Governor In 1916, visited democratic state headquarters. Mr. Adair said he be lieved Samuel M. Ralston, democratic nominee for United States senator, would carry the state and that victory was assured for John W. Tyn

" ' dall, of Decatur, democratic nominee for representative in the congress from the Eighth dsitrict. ‘ The democratic registration,” he said, “in all parts of the district is up to standard and there seems to be a greater interest in political quesitons than there has been for many years. The Republicans had considerable trouble in getting out their registration and even their workers are not displaying interest. ‘‘The Republican meetings are not well attended, and one hears a good deal of dissatisfaction expressed, especially by the farm and labor element Farm land has decreased from SO to 50 per cent in values and farmers have had a hard time to meet expenses and pay their taxes. ‘‘There is a large amount of oppo-

•itlon to Mr. Beveridge among tho old Mne Republicans, and he can not expect any Democratic vote*. If there is a Democrat in the Eighth district who is going to vote for him. 1 haven't heard about it. Practically 1 every one up there knows Mr. Ralston personally. They know ot % his rugged honesty, splendid ability and have faith in him.' ” John Tyudall believes the furm inn dustry the backbono of this country and that when the farmer is not pros 1. perous no one else is. He is oppos- *’ ed to tariff made to Injure Americas t. industry and labor rather than halp “ it and he is in favor of a square deal for the manufacturer, laborer and business man. He is the type of man which the eighth district should send to Washington to represent them and we believe he will be elected. Returns from each county in the district indicate that fact and with a good finish and supporting vote from this county he will be elected to congress next week. Mr. Vestal who speaks here tomorrow night should explain just how the new tariff law will improve conditions for a soul in Adams county. Already every merchant has received notice of increased prices on all manufactured articles, rugs, drugs, clothing, shoes and about every thing you have to buy and no effort is made to hide the cause —the new . tariff bill. Vestal voted for the law . and oguht to explain his vote. - He > might also clear up the attacks made against him as to how and why he has four assistants on his pay roll . and what they do. Reduce taxes by reducing expenses Is the motto of the democrats this 1 year. Gottschalk and Saunders for the legislature and Tyndall for cotii gress all believe and can be trusted to vote that way. If we disposed of two-thirds of the public employes the machinery would operate better and

the people save the money. We never did need the Fordney tariff measure which only prevents the establishing of a market which will better (arm prices. These U'e the real Issues this year and they are important to every citizen. This county pays twice as much slate taxes as they did four years ago and bosides tliat We lose the automobile tax and the inheritance tax. Where do they get that hunk thst there is no increase? Besides that remember the new law permits tho building of three times as much and necessarily boosts local taxes. They would take your mind off of this question but you are foolish to let them. Next Monday is the last day to pay taxes. The next day you vote your approval or disapproval of the tax law. Bob Tucker says the republicans have just realized the past few days that they have a battle on In this year's election and will make a big effort this week to save their sate ticket. Many stand pat leaders refuse to aid Beveridge who has criss crossed about all of them and who has reversed himself on the tariff j question and the sales tax. He is attacked by the farmers and labor organizations, by the soldiers and railroad men, by the women. It looks like Ralston. Judge John M. Smith will discuss the tax question in a political meeting to be held at the Jefferson township high school Wednesday evening and the judge can do it too. He will | tell you more about the board and commission government in Indiana just now than any public speaker I we know of and he knows what he is ‘ talking about. He is of the Old school j of citizens and believes in the people ruling. The school house should be j crowded for the occasion.

Since time began Adams county I has never had a representative in j congress. Now we have the chance and John Tyndall is the candidate. It's up to you of course whether you will vote for hint or not hut we cun think of no good reason why you should not He is honest and capable and the kind of a man you would hire for most any Job. Why not? The political festival and barbecue at Berne Thursday evening will be one of the big events of the cam paign. L. Ert Slack, former United States district attorney and John W. j Tyndall, candidate for congress will’ speak. Good music, free eats and a good time. Join the crowd und have a delightful evening. Senator Harrison will tell you some things about the senate you have not headd and he can tell It in a most pleasing fashion. He is a, wonderful orator and as democratic, leader of the senate has had an experience of interest. Hear him here next Saturday afternoon. The candidates on the democratic ticket in this county this year are men of ability and entitled to the I support of the voters. You perhaps know them all but if by accident you don’t you can easily ascertain their standing by inquiring of their neighbors. Hear Senator Pat Harrison, famous orator and senate leader here next Saturday afternoon. He will speak at the court house and the program will include Mr. Tyndall and | other speakers. • # * LARGE ONION YIELD Menton. Oct. 30.—Thirty four car- ! loads of onions, 27,000 bushels produced by Omer Igo on 20 acres of ground ; this year were sold by him at an average of 70 cents a bushel.

The People’s Voice J. F. MANN WROTE IT October 26th, 1922. John H. Heller, Editor I tally Democrat Friend John—Thiß morning 1 picked up the issue of the Dally Democrat of yesterday and a flood of eld memories were very vividly recalled when I : ranched the third page and found printed there oue of my early "poems.” The Russell and Choatnut street litigation recalled by the poem ' was a rather famous litigation at that time, and I was connected with it by reason of being city attorney of Decatur at that time. The real litigation, however, was between property ' owners and about all I had to do was to sit still and observe the trend of the evidence. Some of the features of the case were amusing me. and these amusing features excited by poetic instincts and the poem was born. After it was written 1 was called out of the court room to one of the consolation I rooms and 1 left the manuscript of the poem lying on the court room table, j While I was gone some one “swiped" it. I always blamed the theft on J. T. France, but John always told me he did not see anything in it worth the risk. Mr. France is described in the poem as “John T. whose girth will measure a yard.” Well, it was pub iished at that time in dodger form, and one or two of the parties described in it would not speak to me for quite awhile afterward. Like George Washington who could not tell a lie about the authorship of the alleged poem. I am guilty. However I wish to plead the statute of limitations against prosecution as it was commit-j ted about thirty years ago. Respectfully Yours, J. FRANK MANN. Realized SIO,OOO From One Acre in 20 Years Atwood, Oct: 30. —A total of SIO,OOO has been realized from one acre of ground planted in ginseng by Harry W. Klinger, farmer residing near here.
