PARKER, EXGOVERNOR OF LOUISANA ON THE POLITICAL ISSUES AT THE COURT HOUSE FRIDAY EVENING AT 7:30 O’CLOCK. Only four hundred dollars is needed to put the Red Cross drive for funds for the Florida hurricane sufferers over the top. but that is needed badly and quickly. Won’t you give something? The republicans are very much worried about the out'ook in Illinois, where regardless of padded straw votes and other false claims, everyone knows the fight is close and the candidacy of Smith is constantly attracting more converts. The Decatur Lion's Club is sponsoring three evening programs of the Evening Star Festival and we are assured it will be high class and worth more than you will have to pay. The same company gave a program here last year w-hich met the approval of those who attended. Urged by republican politicians a few members of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, tried to oust William H. Settle, president. A resolution endorsing him however was adopted by two hundred members in session this week. They are for the democratic program. Before long we ought to be hear Ing from the state highway commission as to when they will take over the east and west road. They prom ised us a few w-eeks ago to attend to the matter before December and they have less than two months to make good another promise. We hope they do it for we need this action. The world series to decide what major league baseball team is champion w-ill open in New Y’ork tomorrow-. Odds favor the St. Louis Cardinals but thats not a safe hunch for quite often the early dope is found to be absolutely worthless. Its a good deal like the straw- votes are going to be this year in deciding the election. Few- men in America are better fitted to discuss the political issues of the day than is Hon. John M. Parker who will address the people of this community at the court house Friday evening of this week. He is able, a gifted orator and has had years of experience. If you really desire to listen to the argument of a leader, come to this meeting. More than a hundred earnest and sincere democrats met at headquarters Monday evening to perfect a working organization for every precinct in the county. These workers will conduct the campaign and will we are sure secure the cooperation and assistance of several thousand voters, assuring a large vote and a splendid democratic victory in November. The farmer who votes against the democratic ticket this year is voting against himself. The Houston platform as well as the statements of Governor Smith indicate that every possible assistance will be given the agriculturists. Frank Dailey declares himself in understandable language

’ TODAY’S CHUCKLE I Columbus. Ohio. Oct. 3 —<U.R)-~ Pretgels —beer's best friend—are being aold in ten times the quan- ’ tity of pre prohibition days, accordH Ing to Lee E. Burkey, president of a local bakery. on the subject. Don't kid yourself J any longer, vote for those who you i know are friendly to your business. ' The Decatur Industrial Association i should conduct a Hallow'een celebra- ' tion here and should arrange for trade days and gift distributions. Almost every town and city in this part of the country are alive to the benefits of Dollar Days and other special events to attract trade. We cannot afford to go to sleep. The Old Home Week recently held is evidence that we can do things when we try and we should never quit trying. Franklin Roosevelt will make NewYork a wonderful governor if he is elected. No man in America is better qualified to hold office Jhan he. As assistant secretary of the navy during the World War, Mr. Roosevelt is credited with having sent two million men across the ocean and brought them back without the loss of a single man at sea. He is a gifted orator and a real fellow every way. He would be a fine successor to Governor Al Smith. A crew of delinquent tax collectors, sent out from some where have been causing all kinds of trouble down in Jay county the past several weeks. They are ’’hard boiled” gents who will take the last piece of furniture and the last item of personal property. They are about the most useless officers we can think of. People pay their taxes when they can and there can be no occasion for these discourteous individuals. The law which gives them the right to thus work in a county should be repealed. Arthur Brisbane trys to prove that times are good because gamblers on the New York stock exchange payeight or nine per cent for money. The country generally is not interested in the schemes of the stock gambler and the best barometor as to times should be the financial condition of the farmer and the laborer. Check up with them and you will find a general opinion that four years more like those of the past eight and the everage farm can’t even be sold if placed on the five and ten cent counter. Owen D. Young, chairman of the board of the General Electric com pany and whose services have been of inestimable value in every crisis this country has passed through in recent years, is one of the strongest supporters of Governor Smith for the presidency. In a statement recently issued by him. Mr. Young said: “I am supporting Governor Smith because he believes in the intelligence and the honesty of the people, so much so indeed that they are always • his court of last resort. Not only ; when an election is on and he is a candidate for office but every time a > great issue arises he goes to the ■ people themselves for guidance and 1 support.” I , The only trouble with the straw t vote business this year is that we know by the politics of the newspaper conducting it, just how the vote will [ stand. Can you imagine partisan newspapers conducting and publish- , ing a straw vote which would help the other side? We know a local , business man who got hold of five 1 balloting cards and sent them all in, i indicating he had changed from I democrat to republican, though he , laughingly remarked that he had never voted for a democrat in his life. Chicago papers which started a straw vote sonic weeks ago discone tinned it because as they were operatg ing it there was too much fairness :- and they couldn't control it. The f election will be settled on November y 6th and not before. e *——*—■ s There should be no misunderstande ing about the position of Governor

Smith. It is easy to whisper misstatements about a candidate. He is unalterably opposed to the open saloon. He favor stemperance. He insists that we must meet a great moral issue and that there can be no harm in discussing with the people how best to bring about a reform. Every one knows that bootleggers are increasing in number and in boldness, that in almost every city, the saloon is operating now in violation of the laws, that children, boys and girls can and do buy liquor and that something should be done to check this. Governor Smith is honest. Never in his long public life has he told the voters one thing and then tried to get from under the responsibility. He says that when he takes the oath to enforce the laws, with one hand on the Bible and the other uplifted to Heaven, you may depend on it, that he means to try to do just that. He will come nearer doing it than has been done the past eight years. • BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO ♦ s*«**«*¥**¥*e WEDNESDAY’S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAF—Network 8 pm. American Magazine hour.
