GRANDSTAFF ALBERT STUMP FOR SENATOR;— The crowd which heard Hon. Albert Stump, democratic candidate for United States senator against Janies E. Watson, were thrilled and delighted and the expressions indicated their belief that he is not only big enough for the job but wise enough and brilliant enough to defeat the foxy Jim who has spent nearly a third of a century iu the halls of congress. Mr. S.ump stated his position in a clean and concise manner, ridiculed the fake sample ballot sent broadcast by the republican state committee and punched holes in the arguments of the campaign as made by both Watson and Robinson. He showed that while the wealth of the United States has increased billions of dollars, the farms have depreciated in value by more than half and he deplored the fact that with this great amount c* money rolling in from eve ~ natic" the world, it ■ He showed that 1,200 corporations in the United States piled up sixteen billion dollars in profits last tear. “Did you have a profit,” he asked, “in proportion io that of the aluminum trust and others which are being 'taken care of?” Mr. Stump denied and rightly, that the Democrats are advocating free trade and explained that the tariff to which we object is that which unfairly taxes you in order to benefit some person or corporation which does not need protection. Mr. Stump arrived here at 4:45, having been delayed more than an hour en route. Consequently the crowd which heard him was not as large as it would have been had he ‘reached here on schedule or as large as it would have been at some other hour, huf those who heard him are today spreading his gospel among the voters. He is an able young man who will serve you splendidly and who is honest and industrious, who knows history,, law and business and will strive always for the people as against those interests which would strangle you and make you believe it was the best treatment fur you. We raise a lot of money each year for the purpose of building and maintaining roads but for some cause or other it doesn't all get to that very necessary improvement. A total of $2,224,0W has been taken from the highway fund and used to pay the state debt off so Governor Jackson and his aides can tell the voters about the wonderful record they have made. This aniount would have built 2,000

miles of roads like that which extends T from here north, seven miles. The republicans of Indiana opened the campaign with a meeting at r Turkey Run several weeks ago. At r. that time Senator Watson declared xt that "prosperity is every where manir, tested" and then a few minutes later in declaring his stand on the farm problems said, “we will continue our 12 fight until you receive relief." “Relief from what?" asks Mr. Stump. If 5 you have prosperity now, why relieve 5 you? I .. .1.-"", 0 Vote for Hollingsworth, Ashbaucher, Nelson, Kelly, Hoffman, Breiner and the rest of the candidates on the democratic ticket next Tuesday. Just to make it sure, put your “X" iu the circle with the rooster. It don’t take so long and its safer all around. . Each election several hundred votes' are lost because the ballots are •mutilated in voting. Follow directions from the republican chairman—vote it straight. Won’t some one please furnish the republican state committee with a slogan that will last more than a few days? They have used "Why change?” "Stand by the President," "Beware of campaign lies.” “Vote it straight," but none of them seem to hit the spot, in fact after a few days its found they are doing more harm than good and have to be side-tracked. This is the last week of the campaign. Election comes a week from today and the real hustling is to be done yet. The bigger the vote in Adams county, the bigger the major- i ities. In recent elections hundreds of democrats staid at home, feeling no doubt that their votes wouldn’t make any difference. Let’s get them all to the polls next Tuesday and set up a new record in old Adams county. You can and should afford one day a year or one day in two years to , devote to an election. Under our ' form of government, we must have political parties and we must have elections. You should be interested sufficiently in who your office holders will be and in what they stand for, not only to vote yourself, but to see that others do. Albert Stump put it square up to the voters of Adams county when he i urged them to consider this;—“What 1 if you had bought all of Adams county J five or six years ago, every farm, ( . every store, every piece of property, . could you sell it today for what you paid for it? Then has not the pros- 1 perity they talk about been at least ‘ I 1 '.listrib.ii.ted....... r ■ - , , ........ next Tuesday. In this county at least, the larger the vote, the larger the majorities. The stay at home vote the past few years has brought down the totals. Don’t let it occur this year. ' One week from today we will be voting. We believe the result will be a democratic landslide and that in every state where elections are held, the voters will show their displeasure at the "normalcy” program which I has meant larger profits for the protected and less for those who toil. B We remind you again that one real 3 reason why we ought to change in r Indiana is the tact that it is costing 5 $52,000,000 a year to operate the state e and that's four times what it cost ten 0 years ago. You just can't afford to a permit it to go on. s ——i II Why do you think they spent mil--1 lions to elect a man to the senate e from Pennsylvania? Do you believe e they were working for you? Albert Stump asked these questions and said the nation will await your reply next r Tuesday. 1r The state republican leaders are y urging “vote it straight" and then p 1 phey are slick enough to have you p | democrats split your ballot to suit e them. They are foxy, but indications “ are that their smoothness won't work *■ out this year as it has in the past. ® Yes sir, Alpha Graham is right

9 with his sign now hidden in some out-of-the-way place—you should vote it straight, but "it" should refer to * the democratic ticket in Indiana this I year. t -—J — I There is not much more to be said . about the candidates or the platforms. . From now on in its a case of getting up proper Interest so the vote can be polled. Every good citizen should help do that. We hear rumbles of a poatoffioe scrap here and its expected to "break" fight after election. Mr, Vestal seems to have been sly enough to have held it off until the votes are cast. I Woollen and Stump will be elected to the United States senate next Tuesday and that will help clear In'diana politics up considerably. "Never in history has there been such complete harmony in the republican ranks," says a letter to the traveling men. Who wrote that joke? The bigger the ’vote in Adams county this year, the bigger the democratic majorities will be. Help get the vote out. o DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS Tuesday, October 26, 7:30 Kirkland high school—Thurman A.

REED DISCREDITS : WALD'S CHARGES 1 Charge Made By Republican Chairman Branded As “Deliberate Falsehood” I Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 26 —Senator I James A Reed, chairman of the Sena torial committee investigating cam-, » paign expenditures was quoted in al] ' dispatch received here today, from ] . Kansas City, as saying that, in his i I opinion, the investigation at India- i polls last week "proved c mclunively that the chairman of the Republican state committee put out a deliberate falsehood and was utterly discredited”. Senator Reed referred to charge* made by Clyde A. Waib, chairman of tlie Watson-Robinson organization. | that there was “evidence everywhere that the money of international I bankers on Wall Street was in the I hands of Fakirs in every precinct of I the state" and was being used to de- I feat Senators Watson and Robinson. I at the hearings before Senator Reed. I Mr. Walb, was unable to produce a I scintilla of evidence supporting I*s I charges. I The statement from Senator Recd I was drawn out by Headlines and Sta- I tements in the Indianapolis News and I ■Star in which it was soufcht to .’reate I the impression the the Senator had I declared that the Indiana investiga- I tion had resulted only in "chaff and 1 chicken feed.” I Senator Reed's follows.
