DOPE FIGURING: — Governor Smith, in my opinion, will win the election in the following manner. says Frank Sullivan: Roughly speaking, there are 25,000,000 voters in the Republic. Os this number 10,000,000 are married. Now the 5,000,000 wives in this group will tell their 5.000,000 husbands how to vote, which will cause the husbands to get out and vote the opposite way. Likewise the husbands will tell their wives how to vote, with the same result, so the net result will be that all the wives will be voting opposite to all their husbands, which will automatically cancel those 10,000,000 votes unless someone has committed bigamy. VVe therefore have only 15,000,000 votes to consider. Will Beebe, the naturalist, will vote for Smith on account of the New York governor’s zoo, so shat we now have only 14,999,999 votes to consider These votes are mostly those of Republicans or Democrats.. Now, unless the elections of Harding and Coolidge were just a couple of terrible nightmares, the Republicans have had a majority in the national elections during the eight years. Correct us if we are wrong. Os the Republicans, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler has shown signs of voting for Smith, but those other Republicans, the Messrs. Harry Daugherty, Albert B. Fall and Harry Sinclair will vote the straight Republican ticket as always. Straight or crooked, they always vote the ticket. On the other hand, Mrs. Clem Shaver, wife of the former chairman of the national committee, will vote for Hoover. In other words, there are no party lines this year. Let us therefore assume that all the Republicans will vote for Smith and all the Democrats for Hoover, except in the solid south, which will remain Democratic. In that case, assuming that the Republicans generally get what they want in national elections, we may safely predict that Smith will win by twice as many votes as Cox and Davis lost by, divided by three and reduced to the least common multiple. Every once in a while we hear the threats that unless the county takes care of certain right-of-ways on the north and south roads, number seventeen, the state highway commission will not take over the east and west road through this city. We do not believe the commission does business that way and we are not going to believe it until we know it. Certainly nothing could be more unfair for the roads have nothing in common. So far as securing easements are concerned we are sure the commissioners and all others interested in the progress and the welfare of this, the best county in the state, will do every thing they can that is reasonable and right. Certainly the matter should be given the most careful consideration. Lets don’t scrap. Thats always bad for every body. Republicans should cast aside politics and vote for Frank Dailey and others on the state ticket. For twelve years now the state has put up with Goodrich, McCray, Branch and Jackson. You know the story and we do not care to repeat it. Mr. Leslie be-

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Knoxville, Tenn. Oct 9, —<U.R>— A negro evangelist who preached that it was a sin to eat fish without scales, aroused the Ire of fish market proprietors who said business decreased 50 per cent. longs to the old crowd. He was speaker of the house the past four years, his nomination was brought about through Fred Schortemeier, secretary of state, he refused to permit the resolution of Representative Saunders to go to a vote and he does not deserve your support. Thousands of good republicans will vote the democratic ticket this year on that account. The valuation of farm lands in this section have decreased two hundred per cent and so far as there being any sale of farm lands it has become almost an impossibility. The past eight years have been the worst the farmers have ever known and Mr. Hoover and his crowd promise you nothing but to follow in the footsteps of Mr. Coolidge. We don’t believe you wish that. Don't think this is just political, talk for thousands of the leading farmers over the country know its so and are fighting against Mr. Hoover on that account. Vote for your friends. The speaking campaign in Adams county will be announced in a few days, as soon as dates and speakers can be arranged. With but four weeks to go it is important that every precinct committeeman and every one interested in the success of the democratic candidates should put their shoulders to the wheels. With proper interest aroused and with a good working organization for election day, the results will be more than satisfactory. If the state highway commission can build a bridge across the Ohio river, entirely in Kentucky territory, why can't they purchase right of ways when they desire to build an entirely new road? The answer to the question has always been that they did not wish to divert funds from road building purposes but they could buy a lot of right-of-way with the two million to be spent on the proposed bridge. Evidently Allen county democrats do not care much about the strawvote now being taken by the NewsSentinel, if the number of votes being recorded are any indication. After all thats about as good away as any for every one knows that when so desired a straw vote can be made to show any thing and still be on the level. Facts are securing a strawvote that is of any value is a very difficult proposition. Four weeks more and the campaign will be over. Then you will have to be satisfied. Now is the time to show your colors. Indiana of all the states in the union should do so for they have much to do to convince the world they are alright and so we can all "say something good about Indiana." Unless something unforseen happens, William Hickman, the arch murderer of Los Angeles will pay for his terrible crimes with his life on the 19th of this month and indications are that its not going to happen this time. About three hundred dollars is needed to put Adams county over the top for the Red Cross quoto. It ought to be secured the next few days. Z Q OBITUARY David D. Baxter, son of G.
