FRANK C. DAILEY: — While there is not much consolation in a “moral victory,” as many a football coach knows. Frank C. Dailey ought to take some pride in the fact that he came within something like 50,000 votes of being elected Governor in a state which at the same election gave Hoover a majority of almost 300,000. That was a great achievement to be credited to Mr. Dailey. He ought also to he proud of the support given to him in Marion county, in which he had a majority of 20,000, in spite of the fact that Mr. Hoover carried the county by 34,000. Mr, Dailey made a great campaign, and showed himself to be a genuine and inspiring leader, a man of force and courage. In the campaign he stood for all that was best and finest in politics and in public life. Os his earnestness, and transparent sincerity there could be. and was no question. His only ambition, as he made clear, was to serve the people in a great emergency, and to set this state and its government once n»re in the right path. To that end he strove with all his might.

Nor was his leadership without response. Under condtiions as they existed, he had a large, earnest and devoted army of followers, quite large enough to have carried him triumphantly into office but for the amazing Hoover sweep. Though defeated Mr. Dailey has nevertheless rendered a great service to the state. That he did not win the immediate reward is greatly to be regretted, not so much on his account as on account of the state. But he has* done his duty, and in doing it has widened the circle of his friends and admirers whose respect, confidence and high regard he possesses in fullest measure. —Indianapolis News. The democrats overshadowed with gloom because of the defeat, state and national, have overlooked the fact that they elected county officials in many strong republican counties. In Jay, Fayette, Dekalb and many other counties in this state, the democratic candidates won by good majorities. In Van Wert county they elected a number and over the country this is true. As a national party, we don’t seem to be so good but locally we cut some figure evidently. Tetfttej now has three political parties, the anti-Smith. old line democrats and the republicans and they are fighting to a finish it is announced. Just now we feel like we care a hang which one wins out bat we have little doubt that after the smoke clears and they get down to real business that the old fashioned politico will again reign there. It's time to talk about other things than the election. Let’s all get down to business and boost for the old home town and county. After all there are worse places any way you figure it. Soon comes the Christmas time and then another year. If we buckle in we can make the community move forward and we are ail for that, regardless of politics or Issues. A treat is in store for those who attend the .Evening Star festival to be held here November 13th to 16th inclusive. The program will include collegian features, Jay Tobias, Sam

TODAY’S CHUCKLE El Paso, Tex. Nov. 9—<U.R> Returning frpm a visit to Juarez an El Paso man tried to call a taxi stand, but the phone operator gave him the police station by mistake. Instead of getting home, he was taken to jail and charged with being drunk. Grathwell, Ernest Misner and other top notchers. It will be a big week and the tickets are but a dollar fifty for the entire four days. The lucky man is Harry Leslie. The people did not want him but he slipped through on a nearly 300.000 landslide in the state. It is certainly up to the* Lafayette man now to makegood. We hope he win and every good citizen will do everything he can to aid him.

A New York girl, Beulah Troy, has filed suit demanding $250,000 dam ages just because her boy friend, Billy Hoagland, beat her until she was unconscious. They were having one of the present popular parties in a hotel in Atlantic City and Billy got mad. Perhaps Beulah is a better business woman than Hoagland guessed her. • General Motors cuts a hundred million dollar mellon and splits the juicy pieces up among its stock holders. That’s fine and that's absolute prosperity for them but how about the rest of the poor sinners who have to work like sam hill to make it possible? What w-e need and hope we will get is some general people mellons. Hoover's election caused a regular riot of stock buying on Wall street, according to reports, but that doesn't particularly indicate that times are going to be so good that you won't have to labor. Some of the boys just saw a chance to make a few thousand on a fluke.

New leaders and new issues seem to be needed by the democrats nationally and discouraging as it seems now, these will no doubt be produced and in four years the followers of Jefferson will be up and at 'em again. Governor Smith has announced he will quit politics.

We acknowledge the usual anonymous letters. They always follow elections but we do not take them seriously. When they do not have the courage to sign their name or come and discuss problems with us, we do not Worry. Wonder what the next four years will bring forth. Os course there will be something to think about and talk over. We will watch the proceedings in the state and nation with much interest to see if the majority has acted wisely. Two or three factories are contemplating a location in Decatur. Whether they come or not depends considerably on how we ginger up. It would be great to land a couple of good ones and have them start activities early in the year. Governor Smith lost Marion county by about forty thousand and Dailey carried it by nearly twenty thousand so you don't need to talk to us any more about the folks not being able to split their tickets on machines. Texas voted for Hoover. We never expected to live long enough to see it but the latest reports give him a slight majority. The vote, however, was not for Hoover, but as in other parts of the country, including Indiana, was against Smith. The annual horse show is on in New York City but so far we haven’t seen the "Senator" entered and he is the most famous "hoss" in the country. Oscar DePriest, negro, was elected to congress from the loop district in Chicago and will be the representative of the millionaires of that section. He is a republican. Al Smith received more votes than did Mr. Coolidge four years ago but the 'trouble is that Mr. Hoover received more.
