Start boosting it now and help make the plans for the event. I The manager of one of the leading industries of Decatur told us today that he has spent several hours look ing for able bodied men in the city who wish to work and so far hadn't landed a single one, which is a pretty ' good sign that conditions are not so rotten here as in many places. The Haugen-McNary bill has passed ' the house and goes back to the sen- 1 ate for approval which will no doubt be given. The bill contains the equalization clause and the president has frequently said he will refuse to ' sign a bill containing that clause, said ' to be the very heart of the proposed I measure. The idea of running of tile red lights at the street intersection and of failing to stop at the signs for .through streets seems to have gained hi popularity again but its foolish. Besides the fact that its dangerous it is well to remember that its a violation of the law and may make ! motoring an expensive pleasure. Every body knows your car will go t faster than you ought to drive it so . there is nothing to gain trying to establish a new speed record. Also every body knows that it Is much * wiser not only for yourself and the occupants of your car to drive carefully but for every one else who may be driving along the same thoroughfare. Oscar Foellinger, state manager for Mr. Hoover predicts that this candidate will carry Indiana by at least ' 75,000 over Senator Watson. We are Jafraid thats just a pre-primary brag, issued largely for the effect it will “■have on the voters. Our guess based on the expression of republican vot--»ers here would be just the reversal of that prediction. The way in which the authorities, “•rushed the trial of William E. Hickman after his arrest led us to believe —that no dilatory methods would be used there and that the murderer of .little Marian Parker would be speedily given the limit. However his case ~is still dragging along through the courts and his lawyers may yet suc“*ceed in cheating the gallows. Strange as it may seem the governor of the great state of Indiana is not •doing any broadcasting in the primaries now in progress. We have the peculiar spectacle of ten republican candidates for the nomination for ..governor, each of them denying any connection with the present execufive, some of them denouncing him and all of them guaranteeing to clean out the present administrative force. Vote next Tuesday. Don't think it won't make any difference. Your friend or favorite may just need your vote to win and then Its better for , the country if every one who is legally entitled to vote, does so. There

never w* a more Important election than the one now approaching and you auould use the privilege given you of assisting in the selection of officials. i The contract for the construction of the Anthony road which connects > the state road with the city limits of Fort Wayne has been let to the Moellering Construction Company on their ’ bid of about *47,000. The contract I for the twelve miles between the Ad ams county line and the Anthony road will be let Juue 15th, the extension to be of cement. This will complete the hard surface road between this city and Fort Wayne, a long needed and much appreciated improvement. The Fort Wayne News calls Bill Settle a democrat. Since when? Until the leader of the IDdiaua Farm Bureau came out for Watson as against Hoover it was generally supposed he was a regular republican, at least thats his reputation over in] Wells county where he votes. If Bill is a democrat he ought to be talked ■ to for supporting Senator Watson and ] if every oue who votes against Mr. Hoover in Indiana next Tuesday is a democrat, woe be to the republicans in the November’election. Rainbow-Gardens, leading saloon of the post-war period, has been padlocked and it is predicted that the days of the speak-easy iu Chicago are about over. We. can't imagine it under Mayor Thompson and his crowd | but we will not be surprised that it 1 will soon be popular to enforce the liquor laws. The argument that it can't be done is foolish. What we 1 should say is that it has never been , attempted in earnest. Os course the ) laws can be enforced if officials wish to enforce them. Witli the primary campaign draw • ing to a close there is much interest ' in the results. Don't think for a min- I ute however that the election next Tuesday will lessen the general interest. It will just be the start of what will probably be the hottest campaign waged in years. The county committees will reorganize next week, then comes the district meetings, the state) committee reorganizations, the state i conventions, the national meets ami j then the red fire and torch lights, it ■ will be a busy summer aud autumn for the politicians. 0 4,*****>r****«v * BIG FEATURES * • OF RADIO * sS***¥*******s>: SATURDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES) I WJZ—Network 6 pm AU-America Ba-1 dio team.
