This was the, last day for paying your local taxes, always a painful operation. -•■!!!■ . Failure or success for some of the candidates will no doubt depend upon ’ whether or not they have an airtight ■ organization for getting out those who ! will support them tomorrow. The Watson managers are claiming 1 a 100,000 majority on tomorrows pri-, mary, while the Hoover forces predict' a <5,000 victory. Some body surely is wrong. —■ ~ Milwaukee is getting a lot of publicity because a tiger is running loose 1 in the city. Reports do not say whether it is “blind” or Just one of the harmless kind you see with the circus. Here is what the election law says: “Do not mutilate your ballot, nor mark it either by scratching off a name or writing one upon it, nor in other way put a mark upon it except as above described. (An X). It you! do, the ballot will not be countevi.* j A seventeen-year-old boy out at Eldorado, Kansas, killed his mother and father and five brothers and sisters because he was refused the I use of the family car, which clinches the argument that you ought to have a car for each member of the family. •Mr. Hoover is for the farmers and actually finally issues a statement to i that end. We thought he would for. most every candidate finally sees how the wind is blowing and tries to get i in the whirl. Don't wjite on your ballot. Any j mark other than the cross to desig-, nate your vote invalidates it. In some ; states this is permfssablo but not in , Indiana. You cannot vote for any I one whose name does not appear on the ballot. Rev. Shumaker is out for Robinson , for senator but from what we have heard and read thats no disappoint-; ment to Carter or Gilliom who have ! attacked him rather openly and with 1 tjie evident desire that he would do that very thing. » We congratulate the candidates iu < Adams county for tire clean campaign I during the primary, the lack of mud . slinging and the straight, earnest | dhnvas they have conducted. The ( candidates in tomorrows battle are j all worthy and qualified and we are I ooufident the ticket selected will meet; tile approval of the voters. i 1 —'Ji ■ A Lansing woman is to be sent to prison for lite because she had two! pints of moonshine in her house, this being her fourth conviction. Compare that to the decision to free Remus, the “king of bootleggers" who after he bad .made millions from the sale of hootch, murdered his wife. Doesn't seem just fair and equal. This is national music week and in many cities will be observed by the rendition of wonderful programs. A few years ago that would have meant nothing to the average rural citizen i but now with the radio, the event can ' be observed with pleasure in almost j

every home in the land, and will be. Pick out the ones you like beat and listen tn for they will bo worth while. -ULUinOHB A month ago Baron Gunther von ’• Hucnefeld wae broke, having spent t his small fortune iu fitting out the Bremen for ita flight across the At- > lantic and had to borrow. The other day he gracefully declined to accept the 312,5(10 prise offerud for the first ’ westward flight dedicating the money I to the further experimentation and > research in aviation. ===— ’! The third party lasted one day and seems to have been only In the mind lof some sorehead following the California primary. We presume there will be more of the same kind of talk for we have had it in every campaign we cau remember of. Usually these efforts don’t get far and you will find I that to be the case this year. We j have uo need for a third political party in this country. Two of them i can cause most of us enough trouble. I You will be able to discern clearly whether Marion county has actually reformed by watching the results of Tuesdays primary. Ralph E. Updike, present congressman, and a candidate for renomination, was sent to conI gress under a written contract with I). C. Stephenson that the latter could ' handle the political patronge of the I office. Those who vote for the re-1 nomination of Updike surely do so 'with the knowledge that they are' supporting those things which "the | I old man" stood for. The grand Jury [ I reported that Updike could not bo in-* dieted because Ute statute of limita-' , tions had run but their statement on ! the matter was quite clear. o MY FINAL APPEAL TO VOTERS. Decatur, Ind.. May. 7, 1988.* ‘Dear Democratic Voters: 1 am a candidate for congressman of the Sth District. I trust that I may, have your unqualified endorsement, I support and co-operation. Have been ‘ a County Supt. of Schools and Presi- j •lent of Co. Hoard of Education for abqut 10 years, and since then a Supt. l of Schools for five years with success grades 98%. a Supt. of Chautau-, i quas in five states, won five medals , and first, prize, am a college graduate | ; with university training, bold a Life ! H. S. Certificate for many college subjects. 1925. candidate for State . siwiatc iu 1926. and admitted to the > Attains County Bar in 1927 and now I a practicing attorney. Reasons Why Opliger Should , Be Nominated • The North has not been honored ! with the office of Congressman in a ' i life time consequently we are surely i' ! iu line or one term at least. I * Randolph county slumped their j Democratic vote about 2000 in 1922 sc as to defeat the Adams county I candidate, Mr. Tyndall, whey he car-' ried all the counties in the district ( except two and deserved the office. ~ Opligcr is the better qualified and ,' ! has had broad experience. The opponent has not even been a,• i township, county or state official and'* I therefore has no county official ex-. I . perience of a public service record. Opliger has had about 10 years of | county official public service record. | and is well qualified by special training. and varied experience and know- | ledge bi represent this district iu , I Congress with high degree efficiency. His legal qualifications are of the ' i first rank and order. Stands on a fair, progressive and consistent platform and policies, and ! will therefore make a safe representative for the people of this district. The slogan—"Office Belongs to the North" will be a strong issue in the November election. This issue is ■ dead to his opponent. The North should not be required' ito even contest for their place in the! | Democratic ticket for Congressman. | i under conditions, this time. The noin-. iuee on our ticket was in the South Isa 1924 and 1926. It is therefore our turn to be the nominee ami elected Io represent this district in Congress. I Opliger knows the needs of the I people. He has been a farmer, a la-: borer, a <lerk and business man. treat estate and in general agency. | ! 'drautauqua manager, teacher and j superinteadeul. educator and lawyer, a success in business and in my chori en profession, and a close student of I social problems and public questions j i of the day which are before the peoj pie for solution. He is the logical candidate for this ' place on the ticket by location, quali- ! fication. experience and training by his public service record. He cau see no justifiable reason, under conditions, for placing this nomination I in the southern part, of this district! I und especially not in Randolpu county. Union City has now the State Supt. of Schcxfls. Mr. Wisehart, drawing }5,01H! a year with expenses. This office should he sufficient for this small town. These offices were ex-! peeled td be distributed over the dis | f.rict and not all located in one place. Other towns aud cities should also share iu the official life and realize a reward for their services and taxes pai/1. ft justice rules in this primary, Opliger will be the Democratic nominee If nominated, I will make an agressive campaign for election and victory. Yours for Democratic success in, I November. I am. Sincerely yours, L. E. OPLIGER. ■—™ . o ' Get the Habit—Trace at Home, It
