Put your mark in the circle containing the rooster and let him do the scratching. Thats the safe way. If Old King Cole was living he could make up a nice supply of pies any evening by cleaning out the black birds from the trees in the court house yard. The man who marches up just now and planks down his tax money and then votes the Republican ticket deserves pity, but not much sympathy. As long as you vote for it you can be satisfied you will get it. Don’t dare to say that Mr. Mellon is not a first-class enforcement officer. You might make somebody mad. Os course its alright for any one so desiring to oppose the democrats but you must not say any thing against a republican. Tlie News-Sentinel and the South Bend Tribune were shown up in their petty efforts to cause a break in the Smith trend in St. Joseph county, when tlie special grand jury called there announced that no evidence was offered of political corruption. Just another cheap political trick nailed. So far none of the good ladies who have been so busy canvassing the county have explained why no objections have been offered to the fact that Andrew Mellon, enforcement officer of the United States, is a distiller. Why not make a little fuss about tiiat? Mrs. Riggs who toured the county yesterday and spoke last evening in this city and in Kirkland, is a farm woman and knows what the trials have been the past few years. She is one of the finest women of the state and her appeal to the good women of Adams county should find an answer : in next Tuesda'y election. Frank Dailey is running far ahead in the gubernatorial race and will win in next Tuesday's battle of ballots. He is just the man for the place and the people of the state know it. They will not listen to the last minute appea 1s e, based on false rumors. The farmer who votes for Al Smith for president this year is voting his own interests. Governor Smith has told you plainly what he will do, no guessing, no fooling with committees and a fight in congress, but a promise that he will see you thiough and the fine part about it is that he does what he says he will do. A vote for Smith and Robinson next Tuesday is a vote for better farming conditions. Tiiat will help not only the farmer but the business man and the laborer as well for there can be no healthy economic conditions in this country while the farmer, representing one-third of the population, is in distress. Mr. Mellon boasts that he has $35,000 worth of liquor at pre-Volstead prices in his cellar and smiles as he says, “I should worry?’ He is your enforcement officer. Mr. Hoover says be will be glad to retain him. That's what these good women who solicit you to change your politics, stand for

TODAY’S CHUCKLE Dallas, Tex. Nov. 3—(U.P> Physi- ' clans said ('lark Sells, 8, will re- . cover now that they* have taken a wooden whistle from his windpipe. without a protest. Think it over. I I If Mrs. Riggs could campaign over this country for a week we are sure she would convince every woman that her duty is to vote for Governor Smith. She tells you about him in a manner that convinces you that you have had a wrong idea if you think he is anything but a fine, splendid gentleman. You are urged to vote for those who are your friends in the coming election and we feel that means you will vote the Democratic ticket. For eight years we have struggled through bad times, especially in the rural districts, we have seen the temperance laws broken on every hand and respect for the law disappear. Governor Smith promises you to do all in his power to restore conditions. DO YOU WANT THEM RESTORED? Vote the Democratic ticket Tuesday. The women of Adams county can aid greatly in bringing up an old fashioned majority that will mean much in the county and state. There is no reason why you should do otherwise than vote the Democratic ticket. You know the men who espouse the cause are clean and wholesome and desire only better conditions, financially and morally and you are making a serious mistake if you do not vote for them. Stamp in the circle containing the rooster. With a number of “ifs” in his final prediction article, David Lawrence declares that Governor Smith will probably receive 277 votes or eleven more than enough to make him the next president of the United States. He goes on to show that if he loses some of the states named he will have less and if he gains some that he may, he will have more, a very natural conclusion. About the only thing that any one can get from the whole business is that its a horse race. We have faith in the women of Adams county, we don't believe they will be side-tracked from the real issues. There are but two —equality in agriculture and honesty in government. We need them both and we need them badly. You are being asked to give up principles of government which mean much to your children and yourselves. Don't throw away this opportunity to win a great victory for the people. Those who are asking you to do so are republicans first and whatever they represent themselves to be after that. Adams county will give the Democratic ticket splendid majority in Tuesday's election. Every poll taken shows that. In the rural districts hundreds of farmers have expressed their intentions of voting the Democratic ticket this year and the totals will surprise you. Certainly no one can contend that a farmer should vote the republican ticket when he knows he will have it as bad or worse the next four years as he has the past. Governor Smith offers you relief. If you want it, next Teusday is the time to vote your approval. ClW——— It's about all over but the voting and the securing of the returns. The first is up to those interested in the results and the latter will be well taken care of. This office will secure the returns as usual and will be glad to give out any information in any way possible. The telephone lines over the county have been leased and and the state and national news will come in by United Press service, than which there is no better news arrangement. Democratic headquarters will be open and those who fail to get in the Daaly Democrat office or prefer an easy chair are Invited to come up. Mrs. James R. Riggs, national committeewomau for Indiana spoke to

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1928.

Beware of Last-Minute Propaganda UuM minute campaign literature is being circulated. Letters received here today, intimating that Frank C. Dailey was a member of the Klan, are. of course, untrue and indicate the desperate lengths to which the Leslie crowd is attempting to put their man, who was speaker of the 1925 legislature, (a Stephenson controlled session) over. Frank Dailey lias never favored the Klan in any way and if there bad ■ been a semblance of truth in the statement, it would have |>een broadcast long ago. Mr. Dailey is not influenced by any connection, was never a member of the Klan or any other super-government organization. He is not built that way. He believes In law and in enforcmeent of laws and ho deserves the vote of every decent citizen, regardless of politics. The i leading citizens in the state, Republican and Democrats alike, vouch for Ids high character. Beware of these late political tricks. A vote for Duiley next Tuesday Is a step towards better government in Indiana.

hundreds of women in this county yesterday and last evening. She explained many of the things which have been bothering the voters. She is personally acquainted with Governor Smith and she tells from that personal knowledge that he is a fine. Christian, sober gentleman, whose i greatest thought in life is to help | others. She paid high compliment to i Frank C. Dailey and others on the ' state ticket and urged support of the j Democratic ticket because the country j needs this change at this time. She made a fine impression and did much ! good in this county. Governor Smith, the happy warrior, spoke last night as he has every two years for a quarter century on the j Friday night before election. It was a great meeting and the thousands gathered there, cheered and cheered and cheered their idol. They certainly do love that man down there and as Mrs. Riggs said in her speech at the court house last night, if the people of the middle west knew this man as they do in his own state, there would be no question as to the election. He is clean in mind, in morals, in body. He is a wonderful father and husband, he is a great governor and he will be a great president. The rainy weather failed to keep the crowd away from the court house last night, where Mrs. James R. Riggs of Sullivan gave an able address to the voters of this community and it was a message that we wish every man and woman »in the county could have heard. Sincere and honest, rapable and at times so earnest that she touched every person in the room. Mrs. Riggs gave every one something to really think about. She is a campaigner and has done valiant work in the campaign. She gave addresses at Geneva, Berne and Monroe yesterday afternoon, here last night and at the conclusion of her talk at the court house, drove to Kirkland township where she gave another half hour plea for the support of the Democratic ticket. Today she is touring Kosiusko county, concluding two months of active work in the state. She made many good friends here and will be welcomed back when ever she can come. ■' —o ■ — DECATUR H. S. NOTES —by— ROBERT HELLER The Rev. R. E. Vance, of the United Brethren church, was the speaker at the Chapel program yesterday His subject was ‘ Why read the Bible?" He listed ten inmprtant reasons which are as follows: (1) Because it is the Book of Books. (2) Because it is the word of Gcd. (3) Because of rhetorical values. (4) Because it is adapted to persons of all ages. (5) Read it to be informed. (6) Read it for its historical value. (.7) Feints way to salvation. (8) Because of its light giving elements. (9) Because it has a message to any person in any walk of life. (10) Read it because it teaches. Rev. Vance closed his talk with a quotation from Billy Sunday, stating that he had gone 32 years with the spirit of God. The seniors and the football men have had their pictures taken for the annual tills week. Yesterday at senior class meeting, the mountings were chosen for the pictures which the seniois will buy for themselves. About half the class will have the seal placed on the mounting. For County Auditor I wish to announce to the voters of Adams County that I am a Candidate for County Auditor and will be very thankful for your support. If I am elected I will serve you to the best of my ability. W. W. Hawkins. Washington Township. Pol. advt. 259t4

Prohibition as seen by Great American ■ That prohibition is .irtually a form of anarchy, is a logical inference from I Abraham Lincoln’s comments on the subject, given below. Evidently it is I high time to put aside mere emotion and prejudice—to disregard bombast 1 —and to use sober judgment before I voting. Consider the facts: Prohibition has caused dissension, dissatis-| faction, discontent, discord, disruption ' and corruption. Ixiok at the figures: Prohibition has lost to the government $4.000,1100,000 in revenue, and it has cost already $225,000,000 for “enforcement", with the yearly figuie, $25,000,000 steadily and vainly increasing. Piohibition is no more a solution of I the drink problem, than just rubbing it off the blackboard would be! Prohibition is as ridiculous as it would be| to close all drug-stores because oveidoses of medicione are injurious. Governor Smith offets to try and solve the problem in a rational way. As this would be a great—and necessary—im-I provement, he should be given the oppoitunity to make it. Moreover, the' country requires specially trained men I in all lines; and, in the past, the gov J To the Voters of Adams County I wish hereby to announce that I . am a candidate for Recorder of Ad-1 ams County on the Republican ticket. ■ It is my desire to see every voter | and if I fail to do so, I wish to make , this means of soliciting their support and thanking them for same. I also xiant to thank my neighbors and : friends for the courtesy so far shown ; me. And. if elected, I will serve to the best of my ability. W. H. Patterson. Pol. advt. |

ernorship has proved to be the beat training for the presidency, as shown by the careers cf our famous Presidents, Cleveland. McKinley., Roosevelt. Wilson and Coolidge. William H Taft said: "I am opposed to national prohibition, because I think it is a mixing cf the National Government in a matter which should lie one of local settlement." Theodore Roosevelt said: “It is a mistake, I think, to step, or try to stop the use of beers and the lighter wines." Woodrow Wilson said: “You cannot regulate the morals and habits of a great coamo-
