CLEVELAND AT THE COURT HOUSE TOMORROW EVENING. Two weeks from tomorrow is election. Are you ready to vote? It you desire any information as to candidates or issues, you can secure it .from headquarters. When Governor Smith makes a promise he keeps it. Search his record for one time when he has violated any promise to his people. He will make a great president for all the people. The football games last Saturday furnished the usual number of upsets. We have about concluded that after all there is an element of luck in the game which often decides the result, especially when the teams are fairly evenly matched. David Lawrence admits that it looks like Smith in Rhode Island. It wiU look more like it after the governor has made his seaboard campaign. Those newspaper writers who have over two hundred votes in the doubtful column must be just writing to fill space. Most any one could guess that close. % “I will not be influenced in appointments by the question of a person's wet or dry attitude, by whether he is rich or poor, whether he comes from the north, south, east or west, or by what church he attends in the worship of God.’’ — Governor Alfred E. Smith. Nothing is certain about an election but every sign points to the election of Frank C. Dailey as governor and the state officers necessary to aid him in carrying out his house cleaning policies. He should have the secretary of state, auditor, treasurer, attorney general and the legislature to do the job just as it ought to be. Efforts are being made to secure roof markings here which will tell those who travel through the air that they are at Decatur, Indiana. Os course we should do it and if some one will give the matter a little attention. the request from the Guggenheim Promotion can be complied with in a few days. The whispering campaign is a cowardly thing and should not be indulged in by either republicans or democrats. If we can’t discuss issues on their merits we are certainly not advancing in politics. Doh’t say things unless you can prove them and stick to the questions of importance. In this campaign we feel the greatest issue is that of aiding agriculture. About every body seems to be willing to let the Shumaker incident go except Attorney General Gilliom who insists that the Auti-SaJoon League leader should serve the sentence imposed on him and that Governor Jackson was clearly outside his authority when he pardoned him. That's a matter they will have to settle among themselves. If the votes are fairly cast and honestly counted, the democrats will

Tenn Oct. 22—0J.r0— The reading of an 80 page zoning ■ 1 ordinance consumed two hours of 1 the city council’s meeting here. win a great victory on November 6th, 2 j but that's the rub. In many cities and ? over many states it is about as im- > ) possible to secure an honest count as S j it was for the camel to crawl through J the needle’s eye and as we remember the story, lie never made it. If the people would demand honesty in the conduct of elections every where, this would be a better country. I ! , Eddie Meadows who was charged with robbing the Linn Grove bank, taken to Lafeyette to face a charge • of first degree murder and later turned over to Celina where he was want- , ed on a charge of robbing a bank at St. Henry, was taken care of in a very satisfactory manner and very speedily in the Celina court. He was found guilty and sentenced to from 1 ten to twenty-five years in prison, which will keep him out of mischief for some little time any way. We listened to the Hon. Richard F. I Cleveland over the radio last evening. He spoke from Washington, D. C., on the Collier hour program and we are sure all who heard him will agree with our prediction that he will give a message here Tuesday night that will be well worth hearing. He is recognized as one of the leading attorneys of Baltimore, is a graduate of Princeton University and the son of the late Grover Cleveland who was for many years the democratic leader of the United States and who served twice as president. Don C. Ward, democratic nominee for congress in this district, will address the voters of Adams county this week, making seven speeches. He will speak tonight at the Kohr school house in Union township, the Fuelling school in Root and the Freidheim school in Preble. Wednesday night he will speak in Blue Creek, Jefferson and Hartford township and Friday night at Berne with Mr. Stump. You should plan to hear him if you can. He is an excellent speaker and is making splendid progress in his race. One of the whispers of this campaign has been that Mrs. Alfred E. Smith could not properly grace the White House if her husband was elected. The best answer to that is the evidence of the millions who have seen her and talked with her during the campaign. She has accompanied her distinguished husband on all his trips and has made scores of thousands of friends. She is a splendid type of American womanhood and motherhood and will be at home in the White House as she has been in . the New York state capitol. After all you must admit that as a , high cabinet official Mr. Hoover has never raised his voice against bribery or corruption, never protested against the corrupt sale of Teapot Dome, never t saw any wrong in the ascendancy of privilege and monoply or suggested any forward looking plans for lifting , the burdens off the backs of 120,000,- . 000 people who suffer from the sysf tem which he represents. The state 3 of New York on the other hand, under t Governor Smith, leads America in f public concern for its wage working i men and women and in the protection of women and children. t - ' The trend is to Smith. That is the opinion of every political writer in . the country. Even Morice Early of j the Indianapolis Star admits it with , the hope that he may not be able to > turn the large majority in the state . to a victory. From every part of In- . diana comes the news that the man y who as governor of New York has so . ably proven his friendship to those 5 who toil, to the farmer, to the merchant and the manufacturer, will make unheard of gains. His chances for d carrying Indiana are great and it beII hooves every one who feels that the

government should be turned back I to the people to get to work for him.! The crowd which heard Governor Smith at Indianapolis Saturday is estimated at from fifty to a hundred thousand and three times that many cheered him as he drove through the streets. A number from this county were in the crowd and they understand the wonderful power of this great leader. In his talk at the Claypool hotel, Mr. Smith assured the school teachers that if elected president he would work as faithfully for them as he has as governor of New York and it is well Known that no governor has equalled his record. o • BIG FEATURES * • OF RADIO * X¥ * ¥ MONDAY'S FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES) V^EAF—Network 9:30 pm.
