Demcoratie County Ticket For Congress CLAUDE C. BALL For Prosecuting Attorney JOHN T KELLY For State Senator T. A. GOTTSCHALK I’or Representative GEORGE SAUNDERS For Clerk JOHN E. NELSON For Treasurer ED ASHBAUCHER For Sheriff HARL HOLLINGSWORTH For Assessor J. A. CLINE For Commissioner, First District JOHN HOFFMAN For Commissioner, Second District FRANK BREINER For Surveyor, DICK BO(TI For Coroner, DR. J. C. GRANDSTAFF ATTEND THE SMOKER AT DEMOHEADQUARTERS SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. You are cordially invited to come up to democratic headquarters Saturday afternoon or evening. The campaign is closing and the big job now is to get out the vote. If tljat is done in Adams county the results are* not in doubt. Help do iT. A straight democratic ticket this year is a vote for fairness, right and justice, for a house cleaning in Indi- . ana. for a representation of the people in congress. Whatever did become.of that “vote it straight" sign that Al Graham post- , ed in his window last Satqrday and then slipped out of sight'.' We inove the matter be referred to the committee on postofficcs with power to act. Hollingsworth for sheriff. Ashbaucher for treasurer, Nelson for clerk, Kelly for prosecutor, Cline for assessor and Briener and Hoffman for commissioner. Whats the matter with these men? They're alright. Vote in the democratic circle Tuesday. They have kept Senator Watson so busy denying statements made against him by former republican supporters that he hasn't much chance to tell what he proposes to do if returned to the senate, but thats hardly necessary for his record of thirty years tells you that he will promise anything to both -ides and then be recorded “not voting." He's just a slick politician. Claude C. Ball, democratic candidate for congress spoke at Geneva last evening and impressed all who heard him with his ability and his power to serve tqa people of the eigh'h congressional district. Mr. Ball is making a hard race and expects to win next Tuesday, unseating Albert Vestal who has had a “picnic’’ for ten years. In every precihct in Adams county the democrats are active and indica tions at this time are that the major ities next Tuesday will establish a new record. There should be no let up 'until the polls have closed foi you are striving this year for a returr of your right and its important that you do not allow the opportunity tc slip. Start working early Tuesday morning and keep it up until 6 p. m The Wheatcraft “poison squad' started theif' propaganda too early and the antidotes seam to have beer

so effective that later application: failed to ’ take." Its a poor way tc conduct a campaign in this day and way. The people are wise and want to know the principles at stake and not concerned so much in personalities. They of course want honest and efficient officers but they also want them-to stand for the things which make the best government. A state ticket headed by Evans Woollen and Albert Stump, as candidates for United States senator deserves your careful attention. They are high grade men whom you can trust implicitly. With them are Ham rick, Jones, Ferguson, Dungan, Linebarger, Davis, Wood, Lindley. Patrick. Rojdelbach and Wildermuth. You will make no mistake voting for any or all ot them. Why take chances? Put your “X” in the circle with the rooster and make victory sure.

Hon. Claude C. Ball, democratic ' candidate for congress who spoke in this county Iqst night is confident of i election and his figures seem plaus- ' ible. While it is admitted that the majority is normally several thousand against the democrats it is also agreed 'that the trend this year is against re publican control and how far this will extend is rather difficult to determine, if a large vote is cast there will be political upsets over Indiana in favor of the democrats. You will find-more in the Adams charges than you perhaps think after election is over. We do not believe that the investigations t of Indiana political affairs were begun to get even with anybody but by earnest republicans who in good faith decided that something had to be done speedily to save the state from disgrace. The Adams probe, the grand Jury investigation and the Reed inquiry will all be conducted to a finsh and there will be some thrilling results in all probabilities. And there should be. The stidden death of Harry N. Helm, prominent merchant and a leader in civic .affairs has caused great sorrow ’ here where he was so well known and loved and admired. He was an earnest worker in his business, in his lodge, in industrial affairs. Often on committees to assist in those things intended for the benefit of the community in general he did his part always thoroughly and got pleasure in doing it. He was a splendid citizen, a good husband and father and we sincerely deplore his death. : * , < vi.i'i'us county is democratic wiUl • a normal majority of 2,000. We have ' not always secured that majority but, we believe we will this year for there ( is no reason why every democrat should not vote his ticket and believe that hundreds of republicans in Adams county, weary of the factional strife within their ranks, will join in making this a democratic year. The primary held last May in this county , was an honest expression of the voters and the men selected are all i honest and capable, anxious and wlllI ing to serve you to the very best of i their ability. , t Judge David E. Smith, of Fort Wayne, came back to old Adams county last night and discussed polltics with the voters of north Preble. Even the rain did not prevent a good . crowd from gathering and the judge, I I who was in old time form, urged the J voting of the democratic ticket that <* the people may have relief from cen- .' tralization. from the multiplicity of 1' laws, from the excessive federal and D state taxes and from a debauchery on 11 the state of Indiana which has given r this commonwealth a black eye over the entire country. Walter Wilkenson and several of the candidates y also discussed the issues and it was i- a splendid meeting, / r- ' a For the first time in the past st quarter of a century Geneva has a )r candidate for county sheriff. Harl n "Sp<<?" Hollingsworth, Geneva's town, marshall, has that honor. Harl is a „ candidate of whom the town may well y be proud. He is honest, fearless aaid !. fair-minded. He has not tried to "carry water on both shoulders." bill ’’ has stood out fore-square for decency y and law enforcement, but not for u nosey meddling into people's private
