HOW MUCH LONGER? How much longer will the American people, who have a right to rule by the ballot, continue to be fooled b> fulse promises and faithlessness • n the part of the Republican leader-, ship which is responsible for all that! has happened in the way of diminish-, ed prestige for this government at 1 home and abroad? if radicalism is to be checked, it is quite apparent that the party whose 1 activities have produced the present unrest, cannot hope to bring the I country back to a normal condition j ( John W. Davis and the Democratic party this year offer to America and ( Americans the outstanding chance of the hour to fight off the growth of the radical movement in this country bv 1 t ■i strong, constructive, ; a mty en undated policy. J This year it is going to be Coolidge' , and Chios, or is it going to be Davis' and Security. I t Common Courage are offered to our electprate, with honesty at home and honor abroad. Coolidge and his party at best can' offer nothing except a continuation' of the present spineless, leaderless. 1 ineffective, make-believe popular government at Washington. Four years ! more of the sort of government that we h ve had during the past four

years, and we should hestitate to predict the state of the public mind in America. 4 Those who have shouted loudest for Calvin Coolidge, knowing in their' hearts his utter incapacity for the of-’ i flee of president and as leader of his party, will be the first to run to cover when the tide of indignation sets in against the sham democracy whcli special interests in the nation bav« caused the G. X).* P. to practice. A s Lincoln said, and truthfully said: “You can fool all the people some of the time; and some of the. people all the time Bl'T YOU CANNOT POOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME.” We shall see what we shall see! American voters are warned. The issues may safely be left to them for their careful consideration and intelligent responses stt the ballot box. —The Dayton News. Next Monday is the last day to pay your taxes. When you do it remem-J her that the exorbitant amount charg-

ed you is due to the present taxing| system. Local people do not now control taxes. The levy and the value-1 t on is finally fixed in Indianapolis and when it doesn't suit them, they sma< k on a blanket increase. The in.- , crea: ed valuation makes it possible for every township and every corportion to increase their indebted- 1 nvs s and thus pile up taxes on you. We are in earnest about it. Don't Vote for those who have squandered your money and who continually take away from you the rights you have' under the constiution as citizens. The democrats tight your battles, people and you know it if you stop to comsder. The wealth of the country naturally grind the producers. Eventually they make it harder for you as you know from past expert-

euce. Won’t you vote for those who are fighting continually for you? If you don't eventually it will be too late for all your powers and rights and privileges will have beeu swept away. A vote for the democratic ticket national, state, county and township is always a safe vote for that's your expression that the people should retain their rights. When you go to the polls next Tuesday remember those who are trying to save your property and your freedom. Do you favor a tax board which has the power to levy a twenty per cent, increased valuation on your automoble even though you put it in for every penny it was worth? That's just what they did to you in this countyj this year. As long as you vote to I turn over your rights to a centralized! government, that's just what you are going to get. A vote for McCulloch and the state ticket is a vote in protest to the high handed methods now being used in Indiana. Democrats in Adams county are

proud of their ticket. Erwin for judge, is an able attorney, splendidly qualified for the position he seeks: Jaberg l for auditor is considered one of the \ beet officials in Indiana; Baker amij Kleine have made good and deserve ; second two-year terms as has been | ! the rule. Every candidate is competent, . courteous and deserving . Vote for them. ■ — . W>..’ When the Adams County Witness cannot support the state ticket in full 1 you know there is something wrong 1 j and there is. The only way to get 1 , away from a continuation of present! conditions is to vote the republicans } out and the democrats in. The same thing ’ tiue as to Vestal for congress He is the same kind of a man as Jackson. unfit for the office he seeks and ( unworthy of your support. ] - j Senator Gore will be here Saturday night for the big rally of the cam-! ’

paign. He is a great orator and one of the most wonderful men in America. Be sure to hear him. If the* weather permits he win speak to an overflow crowd in front of the court house. His speech will be at the court room at eight o’clock, immediately following the parade. ■■ — The county democratic ticket is composed of clean. Christian, able men who promise to serve you faithfully and honestly. What more do you nsk? In this county in which he 1 democrats exceed the republicans in large numbers, there is no reason why you should not vote the ticket and ‘ support these men in every way. You owe to those who put up the scrap all I the time to support them. Join in the parade Saturday night. ■ if for any reason you can’t Play in that part of the game be sure to find a place on the side lines and watch the fun. — 0 —— — * * TO A DAHLIA
