THE OUTLOOK: From no less authentic source than David I«iwrence, independent writer, with a leaning towards Hoover, comes the prediction that Smith may carry Illinois. Mr. Lawrence sees the handwriting and above every thing else he is a newspaper man who desires to say after the election, “I told you so." He bases his opinion on the fact that Chicago is unquestionably for the New York governor, that the farmers of Illinois are in open revolt, that many negroes are leaving the republican party, that laboring men and merchants feel that In the democratic party, they may find relief from depression. Illinois has a normal republican majority of several hundred thousand and was carried by Coolidge by over 800,000. What is happening there is also happening in Indiana and in many other states. The east is inclined to Smith, especially in NewYork. New Jersey, Connecticut, NewHampshire, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Even Pennsylvania is in doubt as are a number of west and middle west states. Senator Blaine,' of Wisconsin, is out openly for Smith and each day brings more recruits for there is a general opinion that something must be done to lift this country out of the sinkhole which bids fair to swallow the farmer and the business of the small towns. Voters appreciate the fair and open discussions of Governor Smith on each and every question of impoitance and the reluctance of his opponent to speak in plain language. As Governor Nellie Ross said in her Fort Wayne speech: "Governor Smith has demonstrated a genius for statecraft that is universally recognized. For eight years he has successfully administered the affairs of the largest business in the nation. No private corporation compares in its diversity of problems or its proportions to the buisness of the Empire state.” Al Smith is gaining daily. The trend is unmistakable. Lets put Aiiams Adams county on the winning side by a handsome majority. "This campaign puts squarely up to women, irrespective of party, the question, will they condone the iniquities that the courts say have honey-combed the government under the republican control or will they hold the republican party strictly accountable for its stewardship and render at the polls on option day such a verdict as will say to public officials that those who would betray the public trust can do so only at the . peril of losing the women's vote* The democratic party offers to the nation a man whose character, declarations and public service all attest that In the presidency he would be uncompromisingly loyal to the highest ideal of democracy, which is ‘the greatest good to the greatest number.’ He is at the moment the strongest man in the nation. Now let us democrats who hitherto have been known as individualists get behind him and with a solidarity of purpose and action that is altogether new to us and, calling to our aid republican friends and independent voters, who hold good government superior to party alliance, fight valiantly until the last day of

P TODAY’S CHUCKLE Cisalla, Cal. Oct 17—<U.R>—Two automobiles crashed on the state highway near here and the stork flew >, into the Irnck seat us one. A few '. minutes later Mr. and Mrs. G. Esplt nosa of Brawley were the proud parents of a baby daughter. the campaign to make his election ! ) triumphant.”—Governor Nellie Ross in ? her speech at Fort Wayne. ) ——————— ’ The valuation of farm lands in Ad- ) ) uni county for taxing purposes have dropped more than eleven million dollars the past eight years. If that only affected taxation there might be some argument in favor of it but the ( trouble is that valuations have dropped because the real values havel sunk to a point almost zero. Try to sell an Adams county farm and see how close you can come to getting ' your money out of it. Most of them will not sell for any thing near what 1 the improvements are worth. We , may talk about a lot of other things, . call the other side “devils,” dogs, gangsters, etc. We are all for a clean America, make no mistake about that but defending the present adminis--1 tration of laws is quite another thing. i “Taken all in all, it is not often : that the people of this country have ■ had a chance at a man for President i of whom they can be surer in advance , that he would work whole-heartedly ■ and warmheartedly for the nation's I interests and do it with an honest prayer on his lips that God would keep his head clear and his grip strong."—lda M. Tarbell. i This is the opinion of one of , America's greatest women. Do you think that those who are maligning Governor Smith know more about him than this authoress who has written his biography and who has studied him and his w.ork for years? Don C. Ward, democratic candidate I for congress will deliver seven speeches in this county next week, speaking at the Kohr school house in Union township, the Fuelling school in Root and the Friedheim school Monday evening; in Blue Creek, Jefferson and Hartford townships on Wednesdayevening and at Berne on Friday evening. At each of the meetings other speeches will be given and the public is cordially invited. Mr. Ward is an entertaining and interesting speaker and you will appreciate hearing the programs at any or all of the meetings. Richard F. Cleveland, son of one of the most distinguished democratic leaders of this country, will speak in this city next Tuesday evening. Three times his father, the late Grover Cleveland led his party and twice he was elected president of the United States. We do not know about the ability of this young man but if he Is as sound and as safe and as wise as his father, he will be worth hearing. We would not attempt to predict the election nationally at this early date but we maintain that Governor Smith is outpointing his opponent, in every stage of the argument if it can be called that. Only a clean and moral man could make the campaign he is making and those who know him best so declare him. Campaigns should be decided upon merits of issues and not on false and misleading charges. r Roy Howard sent a chemist to test out the liquor sold in twenty-eight ’ "speakeasies" of New York City and ’ got a report that only in two of them 1 was the liquor unpoisoned. Such re- * ports as these it seems to us should 1 do more towards stopping the booklegger than all the political dope 1 handed out. t, i ■ 3 We have a supply of campaign pic--1 turns at headquarters and you are inti vited to call and get what you will I- display. If more convenient you can a secure them at either Berne or •t Geneva headquarters. o — ■- Five hundred thousand people cheered Governor Al Smith at St. s, Louis Monday. Now if they will vote if for him, there will be no doubt about

Her's is, indeed, an interesting recital. “An attack of influenza," says Mrs. McClaskey, “left a serious case of liver and kidney disorder and a cough very much like whoop-ing-cough. Also I suffered from Asthma. The kidney trouble kept me awake nights, I derived no strength from my food and before my eyes came blue spots, and dizzy spells were frequent. I had tried almost everything before I was urged to give Konjola a chance to make me well. This Konjola certainly did — even relieving my asthma. 1 eat well, sleep well and am well all over. Truly Konjola is a medicine wonderful beyond words.” Konjola is sold in Decatur, Ind., at Smith, Yager & Falk’s drug store and by all the best druggists in every town throughout this entire section.
