VOTE TOMORROW: — The campaign is practically over and the issues are now squarely up to the voters. Tomorrow morning at six o'clock the polls will open all over the United States to elect local, state and national officers. It has been one of the most intense and interesting campaigns ever waged in this country and the results will be eagerly awaited. Experts hesitate to predict the outcome and the fact is that nobody can tell just what it will be. If Smith can hold the south and carry several eastern states and two or three in the west and northwest he will be elected. On the other hand if Hoover breaks the south and holds the east, he will be the winner. That’s about as close as the guessers come. In other words, it seems to be a “hoss” race and every vote is important. Governor Smith has promised immediate action looking towards farm relief, has declared that he will enforce the prohibition laws with every ounce of his strength but prefers laws which the people will obey willingly, if they so decide. He has made a strenuous campaign, speaking in many states and will close tonight with a radio message to the voters at about nine o'clock. Mr. Hoover has made only a half dozen speeches and has preferred to take a very conservative attitude. His hopes for better times seem to depend almost entirely on an increased tariff, which is not so inspiring for the average farmer or small tradesman. In Indiana Frank C. Dailey has campaigned for two months and has received much encouragement, his stand being a "house cleaning” that will restore the good name of Indiana. His opponent, Mr. Leslie has been on the defensive during the entire campaign since he is carrying the excess of the Coffin-Jackson administration on his back and because of his having served as speaker of the famous Stephenson legislature. It is the general opinion that Dailey will win for thousands of republicans have openly expressed the determination to support him. In Adams county it is believed that an old fashioned majority will be given the entire Democratic ticket and that all the candidates for county offices will win by handsome majorities. It is your plain, American duty to vote tomorrow and while we believe that the best interests of the county, state and nation, will be best served if the Democrats win, we urge that you go to the polls and cast your ballot regardless of how you may decide to vote. That's up to you. The issues are in your hands. Vote early. Governor Smith is your friend. Frank C. Dailey is just the man to restore Indiana. The candidates on the county ticket are deserving and capable. A PLEA FOR MR. DAILEY: — The Indianapolis News, while earnestly supporting Herbert C. Hoover, Republican nominee for President, and the principles for which he stands, believes the only way the people of Indiana can free the state from the clutches of the political machine that has brought it into disrepute is to elect Frank C. Dailey, a Democrat, as the next Governor. The News feels confident that Re-

publicans who have a sincere feeling of devotion to their party as an agent of good government and a servant of the people, fully realize that the best service they can give is to restore the party to the position it once held in Indiana under wise, honest and brilliant leadership. The first step is to stamp out once and for all time Jacksonism, CoffinIsm, Stephensonism and all that such "isms” represent. That Indiana has suffered grievously in reputtaion every one knows. Gang and machine rule have discredited it throughout the nation. Thousands and thousands of Indianians, regardless of political affiliations, feel a deep sense of humiliation over the situation and have resolved to put an end to it. The News believes it is of supreme importance to the good citizenship of the state that these forces be repudiated, discredited and stripped of power. For that reason it calls on all conscientious Republicans as well as al! conscientious Democrats to make sure of Mr. Dailey's election as Governor. —lndianapolis News.

Last minute propaganda to influence the voters has been broadcast over the state but we have faith in the voters realizing that if there had been a word of truth in any of this "stuff'' it would have been brought out and proven long ago. The letter designed to establish some connection of Mr. Dailey with the klan is of course untrue and absurd. It is sent out because Mr. Leslie has been in company with such men as Al Hogston and George Coffin, whose connection with the klan is admitted. Mr. Dailey is not a member of the klan, never was and has no connections that would prevent him from giving excellent service to all the people of this state. He deserves your vote. Those in charge of the Democraticheadquarters for Adams county are extremely confident of a sweeping victory tomorrow. The organization is complete in every precinct and there is an interest that will bring out an nusually large vote, provided the weather is half way decent. By speeches in various parts of the county, by letters and literature sent by mail and by personal work, the issues have beeu fairly presented to the voters. We are reiidy for the election according to these workers and hopeful as to results being exceedingly satisfactory. Don C. Ward, of Union City, Democratic candidate for congress in this district has made a splendid race and we predict that you will be surprised with his vote. He will run far ahead of the ticket in his home county and will be given handsome majorities in Adams, Wells and Jay. It is expected he will break even in Madison and will reduce the usual majority in Delaware. During his visits to this county, Mr. Ward has made many warm friends who would glory in his success. If cheers mean votes, Alfred E. Smith will be elected. No man in the world was ever given such ovations as those for the New York governor during the past few weeks. His triumphal trip over many states ended Saturday night with a demonstration in the city of New York, during which millions yelled for him. We believe they mean it and that he will be elected in tomorrow’s battle and that it will be a great thing for this nation if he is. Moral issues are one thing but living in a land of prosperity in which farmers, laboring men, business concerns and all others have an equal chance to get by is also quite important. A vote for Governor Smith, “the

happy warrior," is a Wte against intolerance, bigotry and government frauds and for better times, prosperity, good will. He is a real friend to the laboring man, the farmer, the business man and to all others who believe in equality and Americanism Governor Smith stands for farm relief, actual not just by promise. He is also in favor of plans which will put the millions of unemployed buck to work. He favors temperance and the enforcement of law. He is a man and he deserves your vote. Frank Dailey has made a detail campaign and should have your support. Please don't continue longer In power the Coffin - Hogston • Jackson crowd which has ruled Indiana with such bad odor for some years. Wonder if there are Democratic and Republican parties in Heaven? If not, why not talk about things that are there? We are here after all only a brief time but we spend eternity elsewhere. . Go to your polls tomorrow morning and help bring forth a Democratic victory. Its to your own best interest. Don't permit the opponents to draw you from the right track by their whisperings. More than a million and a half farm homes in this country have been abandoned because of the policies of the Harding-Coolidge policies. That's one of the reasons that every one feels the prosperity cry a joke. It will soon be over and Mr. Leslie will know just how fast the famous "12,500 saddle horse" can travel. Indications are that the faithful beast has a severe case of spavin and will come hobbling in a bad second. Albert Stump. Democratic candidate for the United States senate is one of the ablest and cleanest young men of the state. He should have the support of every one for he will grace that high office as it should be. We have decided after reading several Sunday papers that if either Smith or Hoover receives sufficient electoral votes, he will be nominated. The democratic campaign in Adams county will close tonight with a smoker at headquarters. Come up. Apples and cigars and a few talks. Every citizen should appoint himself on a committee to assist in getting out the vote tomorrow. SMOKER TONIGHT AT DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS. VOTE EARLY.

CHIROPRACTORS MEET SUNDAY Portland, Ind., Nov. s—The regular meeting of the Northeastern Indiana Chiropractors Association was neid at the Portland Country Club Sunday. Dr. C. R. Davidson, of this city, president of the association, acted as the host and had charge of the buslnes* session. The event opened with a turkey dinner, which was served at noon. Entertainment was furnished by the Guunt Trio, considered among the best juvenile entertainers in eastern Indiana. Acquilla Rutson, well-known impersonator, also gave several sketches. Dr. J. N. Firth, of Indianapolis, was the principal speaker, using as his subject, "Some Things a Chiropractor Should Know and Do". He said that a professional man or merchant must not only know his line, but his patrons and customers as well. He urged them to take up some special line of study and continue it. Patrons should be treated as individuals, and not according to a set rule. He said that a lazy man was not a success because he would not use his knowledge. Dr. Charles Costner, of Fort Wayne, gave an excellent address on the meth-
