FRANKNESS WINS: — Thousands of the leading club women of the nation are daily announcing for Governor Smith because of his frankness and honesty in discussing problems and because of his stand for temperance, morality and right living of the clean, old fashioned kind. Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke, of Indianapolis, well known among club women here, is one of these. In yesterday's Indianapolis Star she published the following statement: .“[ very much wished to vote for Herbert Hoover this fall, for sentimental reasons, first, my grandmother, Rebecca Hoover Julian, having been a granddaughter of that Andreas Huber from whom the Republican candidate is descended. Then Senator Watsons violent opposition to his nomination was pretty conclusive evidence that Mr. Hoover was a desirable choice. His service during the World war and as secretary of commerce also commended him. I was almost ready to overlook his painful silence during and following the Sinclair-Fall oil revelations and the fact that the Republican party's retirement is long overdue. “It is not Mr. Hoover’s sad failure as a campaigner that has turned me to the side of his great opponent, but that opponent’s refreshing frankness in discussing the issues, his clear-cut statement of his plans and purposes, his manifest sincerity and honesty and a growing conviction that we need exactly Governor Smith's type of tearless leadership at the present time. But what finally clinched matters was the appeal to religious prejudice in behalf of Mr. Hoover. Every drop of Quaker and Huguenot and Puritan blood in my veins boils at this effort to prevent a Catholic from reaching the highest office in our democratic republic. 1 hope I may yet vote for a Jew for President. Just now it seems to me there can be no choice for a real patriot who wishes to help stamp out such ignorant and fanatical outbreaks as we are witnessing but to take his stand alongside Governor Smith in the splendid fight he is making for genuine Jeffersonian democracy and simon-pure Americanism.'’ Indiana republican politicians, desperate at the outlook of losing their grasp on the state house are making a wild effort to stem the Dailey tide. It will prove futile we are sure for the people are sick and tired of apologizing for their officers and with Mr. Coffin still in control of the machine you can feel sure the changes will be as slight as possible. This week they are circulating various reports designed to make the democrats scrap among each other. They say the Smith men are not for Dailey and that the Dailey men are Wading off Smith, that Stump is left out and that the state candidates are not being mentioned. Its all so plain that we anticipate no serious results. Surely no one would be foolish enough to swallow this bunk, designed only to get votes after their campaign has fttiied to sell the people.

Mrs. James R. Riggs, of Sullivan will speak at several gatherings of women in this county next Friday and will give an address at the court house that evening. She is able and has a personal acquaintance with Governor Smith, Senator Robinson, Frank Dailey and all the state candidates and will give you her reasons why she feels that every woman as well as every man should support them. Men and women are urged to hear her. Mrs. Riggs is the national committee woman for Indiana and is

TODAY’S CHUCKLE | New Orleans, La., Oct. 30—<U,R) —The latest unusual article left on a street car of the Public Service company here is a baby alligator which was discovered cramped and panting in a small pasteboard box. recognized as oue of the best campaigners in the state. We give Mr. Vestal credit for believing that the average person is more prosperous now than he ever was in his life but we feel he has been away from Indiana and the drudgery of earning a living so long that he just doesn't know. Mr. Vestal has drawn more than a hundred thousand dollars in salaries and expenses during the past twelve years ami of course he hasn’t noticed that some of the boys have had to pull pretty hard to make both ends meet but surely they haven’t forgotten it. The answer of republican speakers to the farmer is that his only way out is through a high tariff. We have had it for the greater part of some seventy years and if it isn't high enough now to bring results, its certainly the fault of the republicans for they have been in power eight years. Why didn’t they raise it if that's the thing to do? The facts are that while a high tariff is good for some things it doesn’t help agriculture so long as we have a surplus crop in this country and so long as stock brokers are permitted to regulate prices to suit themselves. One week from today is the big battle. On that day some one is going to be elected president, some one will be named for governor of Indiana. a United States senator, state and county officers will be elected. Its a very important occasion for you. Vote early and help get others to vote. We believe it will be to your best interests to vote the democratic ticket and we believe it has been so proven by the arguments and the addresses and the statements, but its of course up to you to decide.

Just to remind you who they are. we name the democratic county candidates — representative, George L Saunders; prosecuting attorney, Nathan Nelson; auditor, Albert Harlow; sheriff, Harl Hollingsworth; recorder, Mrs. Clara Anderson; treasurer, Ed Ashbaucher; commissioners, George Shoemaker and John Hoffman; surveyor, Ralph Roop; coroner, Dr. J. C. Grandstaff; congressman, Don C. Ward of Union City. They are also splendid folks, capable of serving you in a manner most satisfactory. Just what has Mr. Vestal done for you that warrants a continuation of his soft job for the rest of time? He has served for twelve years and if he has done any service to the district we will be glad if you will point it out. We do not wish to do him an injustice but honestly we just can't find any record that would make any one tumble over themselves very hard to vote him a continuation of SIO,OOO a year and expenses—and thats something, don’t ever think different.

Friday will be women's rally day for the democrats of Adams county and every woman voter is urged to attend one of the meetings and if possible to bring her husband with her. If you have been going with your husband or son to hear the men speak its only fair that you bring them with you to show them that women can make political speeches too. Mrs. James R. Riggs, national democratic committee woman will be the speaker for the occasion and she is a good one. ——■rviw Tomorrow comes halloweeu, an occasion when the witches are supposed to walk and when the spooks raise the dickens with every thing thats loose. In these later days thats just a joke for the police warn you not to be destructive and you should not take the chances. Remember boys and girls that its also against orders to soap windows. They say that forty million votes

But there’s nothing to worry about for a few years and few folks are looking any farther ahead than that. Senator Curtis Shake of Vincennes, democratic candidate for attorney general, will speak at Geneva Wednesday night and we assure you it will be well worth hearing. He is i considered one of the most forceful I orators of the state and his message I this year is high grade. The Graf Zeppelin is homeward i bound with sixty passengers huddled in the cabins. Its alright to have that much nerve but we know several ways we can show ours and be more comfortable. Why they don't even allow a fellow to take his pipe along. A crowd of several hundred from here will attend the big rally at Fort Wayne Thursday night of this week when Senator Joseph Robinson, candidate for vice-president will speak, it will be the big event of its kind for this section of the state this year. The football teams are going to get everybody so mixed up that every fan can claim his team is the real winner of the conference. A taste of winter. We told you so. You know its just about a sure thing in this country that a bin full of fuel will not come amiss.
