A bunch of earnest democrats from here attended the IJerne rally last night and report a good crowd, plenty of enthusiasm and a good time. Mr. Hughes, one of thl leaders of the republican party, praises Smith but sticks to his party. In other words he is sorry Governor Smith is not on the republican ticket. Its almost time to think about doing your Christmas shopping early. At least its not a bit too early to start saving for that Important season. No doubt many who would like to attend the republican rally tonight will he detained because of a greater desire to listen in on Governor Smith in the east and Senator Norris in the west. Fifty dollars an acre for your vote. Does it seem too much? Well a number of Adams county farmers who read the Snow appeal have told us that he has underestimated it aud we believe they are right. Senator Norris of Nebraska, who came out this week for Qoverpor • 0 » Smith, will state his reason in a speech at Omaha tonight which will he broadcast nationally. It will be worth hearing. The next big political event in the county will be the democratic meeting at Geneva Wednesday evening, when Senator Curtis Shake will deliver the principle address. He is one of the real orators of Indiana and will interest all who hear him. Join the delegation from here. Mr. Hoover will speak in St. Louis November 2nd and Governor Smith will probably reply to him the following evening. The New York man is making a great finish to his campaign, speaking in Philadelphia tonight and concluding next week with not less than five night speeches. Candidates for county offices in Adams county are seeing many voters and impressing them with their fitness to serve them honestly and courteously and with ability. They ate all of excellent character aud there are many reasons why they should have your earnest and faithful support. Warden Daly of the Michigan City prison wants the next legislature to appropriate a quarter million dollars for a new cell house, claiming that business is so rushing up there that they can't accomodate all those who are desirous to make it headquarters. Yet we have those who insist that the world grows belter. Now comes the closing week of the campaign aud a busy one of course for those who believe in good government properly administered. in the state, the nation aud the county, the democrats present to you strong, able and fearless candidates, who if elected to office will restore government to the people aud fight for you. Make up your mind. The News-Sentinel will close their straw vote poll today. It has certainly been one of the jokes of the campaign. Until this week but few

r TODAY’S CHUCKLE Fan Francisco, Oct. 27 —(U.R>— A building and ioau association gainr - ed many feminine members by otj sering vanity cases with every new account. r. hud puld any attention to it aud to 2 0 bolster It up. members of the force jj were sent out to secure straws. Even 0 then the amount turned In would not require any expert force to tally and 3 they themselvea do not seem very serious about it. Dr. ('ary T. Grayson has retired from the navy after twenty-five years of service In the medical department 1 and with a record that any man could well be proud of. He served as physiciau to three presidents, Roosevelt, Taft aud Wilson He will become ; president of the Gorges Institute i where he will it is hoped continue for many years to render the great ser- . vice of which he is capable. That man Haymond over at Mun- ! cie who stole $140,000 from the Y. W . C. A., the school fund and from individuals who trusted him is another one Who had better never lived. He has disgraced himself, his family and friends and his happiness is over. Many who are living over their heads these days must pay dearly for it in the long run. Its never worth what you must suffer. The Stump meeting at Berne was one of the best ones held in the county this year, with a large crowd, with plenty of pep aud the speeches instructive and interesting. Mr. Stump is one of the best speakers on the Indiana platform and be was at bis best last night. Don C. Ward, candidate for congress also gave 'an excellent talk and the meeting was more than pleasing. Berne is organizing for election day and promise a good report November 6th. It is expected that forty million votes will be cast in the coming election, breaking all previous records. In every state where registration is necessary this is indicated and in states like Indiana where we do not register the interest manifested makes it clear that a large vote will be cast. In congested centers it is probable that many will not be able to cast their ballot. There is only one safe thing to do every where and that is to vote early. The usual amount of election bets are being placed in New York according to the World. Yesterdays paper told of a $5,000 wager that Smith will carry New York City by 525,000, indicating his popularity there, also other bets —even money that he will carry Massachusetts, $6,000 to $5,000 that he will carry New York state and SIO,OOO at eight to five that Franklin Roosevelt will be elected governor over Mr. Ottinger. Certainly not looking so bad in the east. The law regarding residence which permits one to vote is plain. If you have not lived in your precinct thirtydays, in your township sixty days, in your stale six months, you are not entitled to cast a ballot. You should not try to so. Moving with the expectation of holding residence i* not valid unless you are to be absent only temporarily, it has been held. The law means what it says, nothing more, nothing less. You kuow whether you are entitled to vote or not. A factory which will employ a hundred people is desirous of locating in this city aud every courtesy will of course be shown those who are here to investigate the opportunities. We assure them that they cau select no better city from every standpoint and that they will receive the very best we have during all the years they remain here, if they so decide. Needless to say every effort will be made to make the representatives believe as we do, that this is the best place in the world. Governor Smith will speak in Philadelphia tonight. Isn’t it queer that all through the east where this man

is best known he is receiving the greatest ovations ever given any man in this or any other country? If he is the demon that certain agencies are trying to picture him, do you think that those who have watched his every act for thirty years, would be so wildly enthusiastic about him? They would not and when he has served as president a year or two his most bitter enemies now will be his greatest admirers. Please remember that. There will never be law enforcement until we have honesty and common decency in government. We folks in Indiana should begin to realize it. They gave us Goodrich, then McCray, then Branch and then Jackson and when Ed sold his horse and bought a saddle, they said “we can fool ’em again” and put up Leslie. Whether they can or not will be decided election day. If you prefer a man who was admittedly nominated through the cqnivance of leaders of the same gang which has been in control to Frank Dailey, whom every one admits is clean and able and honest, thats up to you, but if you are as ashamed of your state as you have claimed to be, you will never do it. ° ******* ****** * TWENTY YEARS AGO * * From the Daily Democrat File * ¥ Twenty Yeare Ago Totfey * *¥¥¥¥¥¥¥**¥¥ll October 27 — Senator Beveridge spoke at the court house at S o’clock this morning.

Speaker Democratic October 27, 1928 DEAR FRIENDS: I don't know whether your top coat and fall suit need cleaning and repairing or not. I know mine did. i > The boss got kind of personal about that top coat. He said if I was going to continue writing ads for i him, I would have to practice what I preached. So I had it cleaned, pressed and repaired and now I won't have to buy a new one. 11 1 1 One customer remarked yesterday that he h a.d thrown one suit away three times. Later he would find it, send it to the Decatur j Laundry, after it was cleaned and pressed, people would ask him where he got the new suit. It pays to take care of the 1 clothes. Send ’em in.
