LEST WE FORGET: — The following editorial appeared on the front page of the Vincennes Commercial. last February 19th, written by Thomas H. Adams, republican, who was then a candidate for governor: “The legislature concealed the rottenness and was a frame up. The legislature was 'fixed' to deny an investigation and did deny it. Jackson and the Coffin machine fixed it. "The speaker of the house, Leslie, stopped any action towards investigation. Referred the motion to investigate to the judiciary A. controlled by J. Glenn Harris, a fixer of notorious fame. Leslie even refused as speaker to receive petitions oi citizens who exposed various frauds. Leslie also ignored Adams' demand for a joint session of the legislature to hear the exposures. So did the lieutenant governor, Van Orman. "It will be remembered that Adams demanded a hearing before the whole legislature and Leslie and Van Orman both announced there would be no investigation. “Adams demanded thaf the twelve weeks' evidence of the grand jury to be commandered by ( the legislature and given pitffess * publicity by that body. Hot speeches were made but the machine statellites like Leslie and Van Orman passed the word around that ‘Adams was not going to run the legislature.’ “These frauds have none of them been fully exposed to the light of day. They were passed on to the legislature and pitiless publicity demanded by Adams and utter silence or defiance the outcome. “indiana is in an awful turmoil and wreck. "Anarchy and chaos almost prevails. The people are enraged beyond endurance." There are mar A various issues among many various people this year but most of it is really entirely outside the principal thing which is what is best for us the next four years. We believe and we are sincere about it that the greatest issue for the middle west and perhaps for the entire country is the agricultural problem. For seven or eight years our farmers have struggled against odds and without one effort from the government to aid them. The farmer does not want or expect a pension or a donation but he does feel that he should not be forced to sell on an 80 per cent market and buy on a dollar market. Governor Smith makes plain that he will call a committee together to work out something that will really make things easier tor the farmer and that he will act upon their recommendations. Isn't that a position that means something to you? Mrs. Willebrandt, assistant attorney general of the United States has stirred up quite a hornets nest. Os course the G. O. I’, managers, anxious for any thing that will attract attention are hurrahing for her but Mr. Hoover and his private cabinet of advisors looking ahead, feel that something should be done to curb her. In the first place she hai no business on the stump and in the second she has no more right to say the things she is saying than has the most ordinary citizen. Many folks thing she is doing more harm for Mr. Hoover than a dozen can possibly repair. We doubt If she is making any votes and she is causing folks to think that rules regarding "pernicious activity

TODAY’S CHUCKLE I Slog City, la., Sept 28—4U.R)—His | wife brewed liquor instead of getting his meals Joseph Laacalo chargi ed in filing a protest to a divorce petition. in politics" by government employes and officials is a joke. County commissioners, engineers and road superintendents In session in Fort Wayne yesterday decided to ask thu next legislature to pass a law providing new salary scales. No one will blan.e them for that and we feel sure that no one would seriously object to some raises. We have often wondered how and why the very best men in the county serve for three hundred dollars per year and while engineers and toad men are somewhat better paid their salaries are too low for the work required. It looks like the New York Yanks and the St. Louis Cardinals for the world series, always an event of interest in this country. It has become so much a part of the program annually that elections, even the war, business or social desires fail to stop the interest. Every where over the country crowds will gather daily to listen over the radio, to read the bulletins or to watch the scoreboards until the big engagement is finished. We have been informed by state headquarters that when Senator Robinson was billed in Fort Wayne an understanding was reached that Adams county and others in this section i are to have a reserved section of the | hall and it is safe to predict that if tickets are sent here so our folks know they can get in that a large delegation will be there. If every farm in Adams county was back on a paying basis and if farm lands here would again reach a sale value of 3150 or 3200 and if there was a demand for them, every merchant and every body else would be prosperous. Governor Smith will try to bring that about if he is elected president. It cost the United States government a quarter of a billion dollars more to operate last year than it did the year before according to dope from Washingto<i. Would you call that economy? If so, its a brand that most folks haven't been able to practise. The fund for the Red Cross Florida relief drive grows slowly. The quoto for Adams county is 31,025 and so far only about 3200 has been subscribed. We don't just understand this for always before our people have responded speedily to the calls of distress for those in other parts of the country. Plan to hear Governor Parker at the court house next Friday evening. It will be the first democratic political meeting of the season in Adams county. Plans are being made for others later but no definite dates have been announced. Don't be sidetracked by trival things in this election. The big issue is bringing back farms and farm values and keeping the laboring men at work. Read what Governor Smith’s sound and sensible position is on these important questions. j ■.an i—ua. — John M. Parker, ex-governor of Louisqna, is coming here next Friday evening to tell you about the issues of this campaign and we are reliably informed that Mr. Parker can do that job in a very satisfactory manner. 0 i *•«**.**•**«#• * TWENTY YEARS AGO * * From .th* Dally Democrat File • * Twenty Years Ago Today • ««**¥**?«*«**-« Sept. 28 —Governor Hanly will make a speaking tour for the Republicans as soon as the special session adjourns Frank Barthel goes to Lorain, Ohio; on account of tlie death of John Lang Hon.
