Humes, head of the auto thief department in the Indiana secretary of, state's office. The auto theft department has thirty men scattered out over the state at the present time. They are empowered by the state law to do nothing but arrest violators of the sta'e I automobile license law. Since their ‘operation. Hume declared they have recovered approximately $500,000 in motorists that had not] 'acquired or had not properly acquired, .license plates. Humes said they could be of great service without a great amount of, extra expense if they were empower- ’ ed to make arrests for othej; law violations. Now if for instance, a member of the auto theft department would see a bank being robbed he could not arrest the robber directly, but would have to go swear a warrant out against him. Every member of the department,, however, is a member of a horse thief 'detective association and under that membership they can make arrests tor other violations, he said, and de'clarcd that it was a shame that they ■would have to be a member of some I other organization in order to inicrease their duties. The farmers pay more taxes tha'i any other class of people in the state but the police protection they receive is very small as compared with that given city people. People living cut in the county especially along iwell traveled highways where every class of people are passing day and 'night should be given protection.

DHIIS PREDICTS F SWEEPINGVIGTORY Convinced by Western Trip That Democratic Ticket - Is Sure to Win. Returning to New York from a S,(X>O- - campaign tour through the West, John W. Davis declared that “All signs point to a sweeping Democratic victory In the coming election. "I return to the East confident of success," he said. “Privilege hns won its last battle. We are laying our cause before the American people and they are responding nobly.” Mr. Davis said that everywhere he went In the West all those with whom he talked brought the same message. “That the great silent vote, that vote which has turned every election In the past when the American people came to a crossroad, has made up Its mind this year to turn to the Democratic party as the only possible avenue of relief. “The people fully realize,” be said, “that the choice lies only between continuing discretyted Republican regime or installing the Democratic administration In Its stead.” Asserting that in all the states he had visited —West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, Wyoming, lowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas and Missouri —he had found the Democratic party intact and undivided. Mr. Davis said Its members were working together in an “absolute unity of purpose and with an Interest I have never seen surpassed in any campaign.” "Everywhere that I have been I have heard the same story,” he added, "and it has come to me from men regardless of previous party affiliation—it is that of dissatisfaction with the service rendered —or, rather, denied, by the government during the last three and a half years. Farmer Resents Tariff. "The farmer resents the deception that was attempted by the Republican party in placing an utterly ineffective tariff duty on his products; he resents the artificial Increase in the price of all the things he buys; and he is convinced that there is no sincere purpose on the part of the Republican party to take any steps in Ids interest “The' exposures of corruption in i Washington made a far deeper im ‘ pression on the public mind and the I moral sense of the country than the leaders of the Republican party are i willing to admit. They have not been forgotten and will not be forgiven. Interest in N<vy Belated. “I found, moreover, that in the Mid die West—contrary to the impression which prevails in some quarters —the I people were deeply interested in the foreign policy of the government and entirely out of sympathy ‘ with the tindd and evasive course which the present administration has pursued. "They fully realized, moreover, that to accomplish any reform whatever. I the legislative a4d executive branches ‘ of the government must be in complete and entire sympathy. The lack of I lendership and coherence which the Republican party has exhibited has made a deep impression. "Unquestionably the people of the West are in favor of disarmament and i opposed to any militaristic scheme, i Nevertheless they are resentful that I our navy has been permitted to fall ■ in strength in comparison with other I powers—a fact to which I called attention in my speech at Cheyenne, Wyo., I on the 12th of September. They rei ganl the navy as the first line of de- ■ sense and are determined to maintain it as such. I do not think they will be impressed by HYo belated Interest shown in the recall of Secretary Wilbur from his speaklpg tour on the Pacific coast." Roper Sees Drift to Davis. There is a decided drift in sent! i ment toward John W. Davis and the I Democratic ticket, according to Daniel C. Roper, who was one of the prominent McAdoo managers. Mr. Roper Ims noted particularly a sudden pickup in Davis strength in Illinois, he says. “Some of the papers have shown surprise at the spectacular growth of the sentiment for Mr. Davis Im Illinois, ns shown by a comparison of his two visits there,” said Mr. Roper. "It is no surprise whatever to me. The same turn of the tide will be shown wherever Mr. Davis revisits n locality. The hesitant vote, which has been unttsiThlly large in this campaign ’ until about ten days ago, had' been dis stlnctly wavering between the different parties. A great number undoubtedly waited to hear more of the principles of Senator LaFollette before reaching a decision. “During the last week reports not only from states at large but from every county In these states, has shown that this vote is deciding ,to ally itself with the Democratic party. "From those sections of the country where Mr. Davis has been heard and seen the reaction in his favor has been amazing." Indiana Democratic leaders added 50,000 to the majority by which they claim the state after-witnessing the enthusiasm with which John. W. Dav’s was received in his dash through one of the most heavily Republican sections of the state. Dr. C. W. McCulloch, the Democratic candidate for governor, predicted the Democrats would carry the state by 100,000 when be started out with Davis at Gary., but when he left him*at Fort Wayne, after a series of ovations across north em Indiana, he had moved the figure up to 150,000. l - - — - -2-7 — J'S ! ■! !■—«»
