TO VOTERS: — Suppose that the Democratic party had been iu power in this state and nation for the past four years and That the Governor and two other state officials had been convicted in the courts, two of them for emblezzlemeat. and sent to prison, and the other for violating the liquor law. That the county clerk of the biggest county in the state had been imprisoned for emblezzling $140,000, Tflat expenses had been increased more than 18 million dollars, or over double what they were four years ago, •

That the chief executive had defrauded over two hundred banks out of a million* dollars. That deposits of state money had been awarded to bank s that would loan the Governor money. ' That the Secretary of State had publicly indorsed a swindling concern and then tried to run for Governor, . • .. That the Highway Commission had been investigated by the board of accounts and one favored firm had voluntarily refunded $50,000 which the commission had over-paid it, That a candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction had been nominated against whom serious charges had been made by the Stale Board of Educaton. That millions of dollars had been spent building a palace for able-bod-ied criminals, while hundreds of insane men and women languished in jails and poor asylums, That a law’ had been passed permitting boards and commissions to hire employes and raije salaries a will and that an average of a new employe each day for the last four year:; had been added to the statL payroll, therby increasing it over a million dollars a year, That the Democratic organization had been delivered over body and soul to a secret organization with secret membership, and a couple of nonresidents of the state permitted to dictate the nominees on the state ticket and write the platform. And then suppose that in our na-* tional administration a United States senator I’.ad been convicted of bribery and fotced from the Senate, That three cabinet members had retired in disgrace, one of them openly charged with bribery, , And that the President bad declined to make a move toward dismissing! these cabinet officers until forced by public opinion, That this President had sat by aaid without a word of protest and MM government officials give away Thu- I Pot Dome and the California oil reserve, and That this same President later rewarded with promotion the naval officer that recommended the sale of these naval reserves to Sinclair and Doheny. That the head of the soldiers' re-' liabilitation had caused S3OO OOO.OOit. to be stolen, wasted and grafted, as proved by congressional investigation. That the Secretary of the Treasury had been proved to own immense dis-

tilleriea and liquor interests, That the same cabinet member had been shown to profit many millions of dollars by the increased tariff on aluminum. That a senator who had interests in a sugar refinery be permitted to increase the duty so that it cost the people of the United States $200,000,000 a year In order to enrich himself and associates in the Mormon church, That the President had named as his private secretary a congressmen who hud been convicted of selling post office appointments in direct violation of the law, That the Department of Justice had been found honey-combed with graft and grafters. That the home of a United States senator had been found to be the place where the swag was divided that had been derived from selling 'liquor permits, and Suppose that all these and dozens of other offenses against common honesty and common decency had been committed by the Democrats instead of the Republicans, in the state and national government, do you suppose the people could*staud for it? Would not an outraged people drive them from public office? Has the public sense of morality been so dulled and become so hardened to crime and immorality in official life, that it no longer takes note of it? If crime and immorality *in public office is to to rewarded with longer tenure. , then what is To prevent repeti- . tion of the evils, along with the impoverishment of the people and the destruction of popular government? 1

There are many serious issues in the present campaign not Ute least of which is whether or not the government of Indiana will be influenced by a secret political organization. There has been too much secrecy in the state house as it is, too much liberty with the I'tigris which belong to the people. Let's get rid of the flutter and fuss, the mysteries and miseries, let's have a good old-fashioned democratic administration with the cards on the table. The campaign is over. It has been a clean and fair effort to place before the people the issues of the day. The rural meetings close tonight with the Union township homecoming. Tomorrow we vote. It should be of enough interest to all of you that you not only cast your ballot but that you see that the vote is out. The state of Indiana is four million

dollars in debt, notwithstanding the fact that taxes have been doubled. The last legislature spent more than thirty million dollars and the administration has been mad with money spending. Stop it by voting the democratic ticket tomorrow. The big parade Saturday night was the best held here in twenty years, according to the expressions heard on every hand. The crowd was great, the parade was fine, the part taken by the women was a happy surprise and proved their loyalty and their desire to assist in political affairs. Senator Gore and Mrs. Lewis delivered brilliant speeches to the crowd at the court house Saturday night, closing a big rally with just the right arguments. If you missed this patt of the program you missed a real treat. Come to the smoker at democratic headquarters tonight when the plans for work in the various precincts of this city will be discussed. Every wwker and all who are interested are invited. Every man on the democratic ticket in the nation, state and county, is a clean, honest, worthy and capable citizen who deserves your support i touwrrow. Vote the democratic tick- , et. Play it sate. Democrats, there is no necessity | for splitting your ticket tomorrow. X ote for the men who have been nominated for office. They are efficient

The blanks are sent out to the various counties over the state, the quotas being determined by the size of the population From Marion county six applications have been, returned. About 150 nurses have been chosen for the staff. The staff of physicians has not. been completed yet, and will not be for a few days?
