Tune in on one of the National broadcasting ohain stations tonight at 7:30 o’clock and hear Frank Murphy of Minnesota, on the farm question. • At Lexington Senator Curtis says Hoover will keep his promise to aid the farmer. At Kansas City he urged the Republicans to stop Hoover and save agriculture. — Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal. . Thats some straw vote the NewsSentinel is taking. It showed last evening that thirteen republicans and eight democrats had voted for Smith while 112 republicans and seven democrats had voted for Hoover. Must have been taken at republican headquarters or a ward meeting. The address of Dr. Van Dyke, leading Presbyterian minister, should be .read by every one who is considering the issues this year from a point of intolerance. No man is better able to speak on this subject and no man's words will carry more weight through the length and breadth of this land. With Senator Watson now preaching the doctrine of high tariff as the best means of relieving the farm distress, one wonders what he meant last May when he was saying that “to deny the farmers the McNary-Haugen bill is to deny them the benefits of the protective system." Don Ward is a regular fellow and would make a great congressman. He is honest and capable and understands the needs and desires of the people of the eighth district where he war born and where he has spent his entire life. He will receive the support of all the democrats and many independent voters of Adams county. Republican national campaign headquarters in Washington claim that paper svaluable to them have been * stolen and they have secured detectives to discover the vandals. They may find them in the house around * the corner or it may be possible that - Mrs. Willebrandt can get them duplicates. - Decatur merchants should join in - the effort now being made to conduct special sales and gift days here. Hustling always counts and the more of it we do the better it is for every one. Some towns just blow away tn the dust of modern business traffic ; while others grow with it. Which class do you want Decatur to be in? Governor Parker who spoke here last evening is concluding a three ’ weeks tour of the middle west, during which he has spoken to thousands of people and has read the thoughts of the voters He is confident that the results of the election will be a great democratic victory and a better condition in this country. That something must eventually be done about the present prohibition laws which do not prohibit was again shown at the convention of police chiefs held at Denver. Os the 150 present, 120 declared themselves in

v TODAY’S CHUCKLE Paris, Oct. «—(U.R)— The “radiator wristlet" Is the latest novelty for the motorist, it takes the form • | of a watch, the face of which is • shaped like a motorcar radiator. 1 To wind up your watch you turn the radiator cap. • favor of a law that can be enforced. I These are the men upon whom rests ! the responsibility of law enforcement I ) and they know what it means. , [ The Yanks made it two straight and you could have won a fortune. The odds were as high as ten to one that they would not take the two first games. Now the teams are in St. Louis where the third game of the 1 series will be played tomorrow. They are both good teams of course and the breaks have a lot to do with the results. The Literary Digest straw vote gives Smith a total of 231,061 votes and shows that nearly half that number. 100,419 voted for Coolidge four years ago aud that doesn't include a large number of dyed in the wool republicans who always sign the cards up that they voted the democratic ticket at the previous election. There is no doubt that thousands of repub- , licans will vote for Al Smith this year. “Herbert Hoover,” says the Indianapolis Star,” is on the track of real farm relief when he urges development of farmer-controlled marketing.'' But Indiana farmers remember that the Indianapolis Star was a consistent and bitter opponent of farmer-controll-ed marketing during and since the formation of the Indiana wheat pool and up to the time that political expediency made it seem desirable to pretend a change of heart. Politics is a great game but don't forget that back of all of it is often the scheme of those who desire to . secure control of public resources and , convert them to their own uses. Just now it is claimed by experts to be the . great water power privileges. The trouble with so many people is that they do not consider the real things but permit their minds to rest upon things which after all are not great economic questions. The big interests are as active in this campaign as they have ever been. Excellent reports are coming from every precinct in Adams county and we firmly believe that the democratic majoiity in old Adams county will set a new high record this year. It should. Valuations for taxing purposes show a loss of fifty per cent the past eight years on farm lands and the losses so far as sales are concerned is far greater than that. If your farm was worth S2OO an acre eight years ago, what is it worth now? You lost the difference. Mr. Leslie’s principal address at Fort Wayne closing his big (?) twoday rally will be an hour on the radio. Sounds like the announcement, “the next song will be a dance." Mt. Leslie tried to make a few speeches early in the campaign but was so coldly received that he was drawn. Now they are starting him out on a kind of a show-off trip and he reads the speech written especially for the purpose over the radio. Folks don't let them fool you. If you really desire a new deal in Indiana follow Frank Dailey and those on the ticket with him. And its cejtainly high time, you desired it. “Readjustment of our economic structure is the most important issue that confronts the American people today," said Albert Stump, Democratic candidate for United States senator, in a meeting at Oolitic. “Last winter six hundred fifty millions of dollars were raised in our larger cities to relieve the suffering of the poor. In one primarj -room in Bicknell, fndiana. it was found that thirty out of thirty-seven children came to school regularly without their breakfast. At the same time the granaries in the northwest were bursting and the : farmer was told that his harvest had 1 been too great and that his surplus i became an economic burden. We are

Having established a home market of over thirty millions of prosperous farmers, industry cannot help but be busy. Unemployment will disappear and peace and contentment will again be the boast of our people." The democratic campaign opening last evening was a splendid success. The crowd was large and the speeches were interesting. Every seat in the big room was occupied, extra chairs were provided and many stood during the entire evening. The address by Hon. Dore B. Erwin was just right for the occasion; Don C. Ward, candidate for congress stated his position in a very happy and entertaining way and pleased the crowd and then Hon. John M. Parker, former governor of Louisiana gave an hours talk that impressed his hearers. Mr. Parker | makes no claim to being an orator but i stated that he felt it his duty to lend whatever he could to a movement designed to better his country. He plead for tolerance, advocated farm relief and urged support of Al Smith and Joe Robinson, two men who had raised themselves from obscurity to the high positions they now hold, one the governor of the great state of New York and the other a United States senator. It was a heart to heart talk, a plea for a continued united people, a greater America. Governor Parker believes in temperance. believes in law observance, stands for right things and presented his thoughts itr an able way. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT In memory of Brother B. W.

THE SECOND TIME IT’S homo, but it isn’t perfect. You know more now than when you first hung up those curtains and moved your furniture in. You have lived with those walls, bookcases, radiators, cups and saucers long enough to know their mdrits and demerits. The kind you would buy the second time, and the kind you wouldn’t buy. If you and Sarah could start all over again, you’d profit from that experience. Avoid what has proved unwise—study advertisements, home-furnishing pamphlets—let the potatoes scorch and the lima beans boil dry—just comparing new refrigerators, bathtubs, patterns of delicate china. You’d want to make sure what you bought this time would please you as much tomorrow as today. YET day by day you are making that home-place over. “We do need some new curtains.” “Hadn’t we better get some butter-knives?” The only difference is a gradual instead of a wholesale affording. And by knowing the advertisements you know the future of what you buy. You know by name, for instance, the curtains that won’t sag or fade. ALL the wisdom that your windows, your electric washer and ironer, the wind, sun, rain would write out for you slowly about those curtains, season by season—you get in one swift reading of the curtain advertisements. Experience usually deals with the past. With advertisements, it deals with the future! You buy the now " and the will-he when you buy advertised wares. READ the advertisements to know what is advertised—what is certain to satisfy you. A daily reading of the advertisements prepares you for happy, safe choices first times as well as second times—every time you buy. Decatur Daily Democrat J ■_! .11l I « —!■ HIM l |, ,| I 11 1
