Speeches and a discussion of plans for election day. Voters invited. Authorities found a man wandering around with about $15,000 sewed in his clothes and a commission declared him insane. A good many would like to have the same mania. Precinct meetings tonight at the Gehrig home on Eighth street, the fMacklin home on First street and the Wemhoff home, north Eighth. If you tire interested in your old home town, attend one of these. If this bright blue. October weather will hold out, they can keep the prices on Florida sand up to SIO,OOO a front foot as long as they want to, for most of us would rather have Indiana soil at one one-thousandth of the price. A bushel of bulletins in the mail this morning again promised better times by the first of the year. We hope so. They have been moving that corner around which good times seems to located on for five or six years now. and its about time some one held it tight enough that we can realize on it. The way they are fiddling around to ■get a jury at Noblesville to try D. C. Stephenson and his pals looks rather foolish. Certainly any twelve men. tried and true, would decide the case ■Hccording to the law and the evidence. Thats all any of them can do. Whats the use to “jockey around” uirtil Christmas? E. B. Williamson, manager of the Northern Indiana Fair is concluding all details of his campaign for the organization of a county fair association to buy the Bellmont Park and conduct various entertainments there, including a big and a real county fair. He will begin the campaign the first of next week. With the financial condition of the city excellent, with a lower tax rate, with an efficient police force, a good fire department, with improvements being made each year and the city progressing, w’hat more do you want. Gumshoeing to the contrary should not get far and won't if the proper interest is manifested by the Democrats. The campaigns over the state are rather slower than usual, not a very good sign, for it shows that less interest is being taken from year to year. With the exception of two or three of the larger cities, one could hardly tell there was a campaign in progress. In Hartford City the campaign will open tonight with a public meeting and will continue only the nine or ten days until election. A similar condition exists in many of the smaller cities. The Democratic platform is not • vague but on the contrary is a clear, clean and decisive statement which stands for those things best for the eity. It’s always easy to find fault. \ to declare your own home town a bad one, to promise wonderful things, but »sualy it doesn’t mean much. If a eity is managed in a business-like manner, if good police protection is given, if an adequate fire department is maintained, if the efty plant and the city property is properly main tained, it assurance can be given to new industries that they can and will

And that’s just what you have here. Keep it running along smoothly as it is now, help make Decatur the best town on the map. The precinct meetings held last evening in the first ward A and third

ward A, under the auspices of the Democratic ladies, were forerunners of the interes’ which will be aroused 1 by a ten days campaign of this kind. The women hold the balance of power in an election and their assistance is a very vital and necessary thing for the party which expects to win. However these meetings are not for the' women alone, but for the men as well and if you wish to hear the candidates and get their policies and their position on matters of importance to the community, attend one or more of the precinct sessions. o — ♦♦♦♦+♦♦♦♦♦♦**++ * Big Features Os * * RADIO * * Programs Today * ♦++++♦++♦♦♦♦♦♦+ Thursday's Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1925 by United Press KGO, Oakland. 36/. 8 p. m.(PCST) —Comedy drama “The Fortune Hunter.” WCBD. tion, 345, 8 p. m.
