Grand Staff Lets make it unanimous—vote the democratic ticket next Tuesday. Avoid spoiling your ballot and lost ing your vote Ivy placing the "X" in the circle with the rooster. The larger the vote in Adams !' county next Tuesday, the greater the ■ democratic majorities. Lets get the vote to the polls. You can do yourself a service and aid'your county, state and nation by assisting in getting out a complete vote next Tuesday. Step on the gas workers. This is once when you really ought to follow the advice of L. A. Graham, republican county chairman, and ‘‘vote it straight' democratic. Lets aoak* ■■ ■ nimou Vote for Woollen and Stump for ' United States senator, remembering,' -that they stand for all the people of Indiana, first and last and believe that people best governed which is least governed. One thing is sure—the farmer and few others in ordinary circumstances could not sell out for what they paid five years ago and yet they shout “prosperity reigns every where, why change?” During the past five years more than nineteen million acres of farming land in the United States has been abandoned. Os course the owner si ill has his investment and with slight financial returns. Does “prosperity reign everywhere for him?” «**- - *,..„*-*, —l.mi a—■*»-, We are sorry to learn of the sudden death of Charles A. Bookwaiter, former mayor of Indianapolis and a leading republican. He was a square shooter, a vigorous fighter, a good citizen for his community and one of the finest men in the state. Bert Morgan testified the other day that because he was keeping watch on Stephenson's home where parties were being conducted and to which school boys and girls were invited, he was forced to resign as federal enforcement officer by influence of Senator Watson. Now thats a pretty “kettle of fish.” - ’'Never was there greater harmony within the republican ranks.” says a letter from republican headquarters. Now wouldn't you love to see a campaign when they were out of tune? If the present “muss" i» smooth sailing, a flurry would probably re-

| soluble a Florida hurricane, one of i those 130 mllea an hour speeders. Those folks who have been worrying for fear the democratic party wouldn't have any candidates for president In 1928 will probably dehide after election that they have so ; many that It will take a long time to select one with the two-thirds rule and the difficulty Is that Its too "doggone" true. If the farm owners along the Monroe road wish that highway improved and will grant the required easements. we are assured by the state highway commission that the .work will be done as early next spring and summer as the weather will permit and we are sure they will decide on that step of progress when the opportunity is actually presented inext week. You have no doubt noticed the trend towards the democratic party in this county; perhaps you are aware that 'the indications five days before election are that Indiana will clean the state bouse. This need not surprise you or make you feel that it is due to any particular cause. Its just a reflex of what is going on all over the United States. Watch the score board next Tuesday night. Not a single word has been said against the administration of John E. Nelson as clerk of the Adams circuit court and no disparaging word can be said. He has proven a courteous and efficient official an dafter all isn't that the biggest thing? Z It is important that the men who serve you are capable and Mr. Nelson has proven that he is. You know when you employ him as county clerk, you are hiring an honest man who knows his , "stuff" and will do it. "VOTE IT STRAIGHT,” advises posters sent over the state from republican headquarters. They are not being used very freely here and even i the one which decorated the window at the Graham & Walter# office last Saturday, has been removed. What they mean isj that all republicans should vote their ticket and all democrats should split. What do you think about it this year when every one ought to vote the democratic ticket? Andrew Mellon urges republican victory because of the tariff and thata not surprising. He controls the! States and makes millions because of a_ protection which prevents any competition. We understand perfectly why he would favor it but we can’t get it into our thick skull why the rest of the 125,000,000 people permit him to fool them and we doubt if he can any longer. We have all had our fling at "normalcy" and it don’t seem to be the right mixture. “Government should prevent interference with the efforts of the people to make themselves prosperous and happy. It is more important that the people grow in strength and freedom ; than that they be cared for by the government. People can be strong and free only as they, without trespass on others, go unhindered their own ways, self-reliantly seeking their own welfare and paying the penalties of their own mistakes." —By Evans Woollen, democratic candidate for United States senator. Remember Mr. Harvey, magazine editor. Wilson backer, Harding sup porter and then Wilson hater, ambassador to England and a lot of things? He is credited with being the wisest man in America on guessing political results and he has just announced that the election next Tuesday will be a democratic landslide which will extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The pendulum is swinging back once again as it deeg ever so often. And we feel sure it will be a benefit to the people of America. “No cloud on candidates" is the streamer across the final edition of the Fort Wayne Ne.rs-Sentinel last evening, followed by a paragraph from Indianapolis, reading: “The 'grand jury investigating alleged pollt-

r*lcal corruption in Indiana reported to Judge Collins that it had no Indictments to return at this time against ’ tiny of the candidates up for election next Tuesday." Get the "AT THIS TIME" and compare that with the headline and then dig up one of the 1 "beware” cards or the "vote it straight" signs and use your own judgment. The leading editorial in the Monday Adams County Witness was a copy of the yellow ballot being put out by the republican state committee. Fred ought to have Alph send him down a few of those cards which read: "Beware of campaign lies." for if ever one was used its that take. Think of it, under the republican emblem. “Purity" and "Honesty," and in this year of Pennsylvania and Illinois primaries, when two investigations urged by republicans themselves are in progress regarding Indiana politics, when the memory of every voter turns to Doheny and Fall and Daugherty—and such rot as this is the only argument they are offering an intehigent people. No wonder the political writers are predicting a sweeping democratic victory next Tuesday. How can it be otherwise? DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS Tuesday, October 26, 7:30 Kirkland high school-Thurman A.

M.D., Member Gorges Memorial Institute,) (Written for the United Press) Chicago, Oct 27.—General Gorgas and I had many ties which bound us; closely together for many years. His dream was to banish yellow fever from the earth and this dream, thank God, is almost a fact. | How. vividly I recall, as a young man, the terrors and the fierce slaughter which yellow fever caused in Norfolk. New Orleans. Memphis and other Southern cities and the "shot-gun quarantines” established at many borders. How everybody prayed for an early frost to kill the "miaisma.’’ which then was supposed to be the cause of yellow fever! With discovery, by the Reed Commission, that yellow fever was transmitted by a certain kind of an infected mosquito, Gorgas set to work and banished yellow fever from Cuba after four centuries of desolation. Next he banished yellow fever from the Canal Zone and curbed the ravages of malaria. | He made the great canal possible as all the world knows today. Gorgas thus opened up a new and wide door of access to the West Coast of the whole American continent and to the waiting Orient. He and his colleagues have made it possible for the white man of the temperate zone to live and labor in the fertile tropics. | When Gorgas was saving lives in Havana and Panama, there had been disevered no serum for the treatment of yellow fever. This serum prepared by Noguchi, if given the first three days, cuts the mortality of j 50 per cent and sometimes 100 per cent to 16 per cent. Noguchi has also prepared another efficient preventive serum, which, administered to non-immune persons about to go into infected areas, will prevent yellow fever, though as yet it is not an absolute protection to RHMRMMRRIBBaBI Typewriting ' Stenographic Work If you have any extra typewriting or stenographic work I will be glad to do it.

everyone. Protection usually lMt« for five or six months. These discoveries came about by developing yellow .fever In guinea pigs. If we could have developed the disease in animals 28 years ago. thousands and thousands of valiant human lives would have been saved. Can any person protest against using guinea pigs to protect millions of human beings from yellow fever? As a rrtsult of such use yellow fever has almost been banished from the three Americas. A local outbreak occurred In Salvador in 1924, but no case has been reported there since October of that year. Another local outbreak has recently broken out in Northern Brazil but doubtless soon will be quenched. Apart from these two local epidemics there has been no case of yellow fev-
