It sure looked like a more I expensive accident. The republicans claims of good lima* sound rather foolish to the 1 26.UUP men and women who are ouUflf employment in Indianapolis. They are saying so now and they will say so unmistakably with their ballots next Tuesday. The democratic ticket in Adams county this year is one of the strongest ever presented here and i i.‘ deserving of the supporting votes ’ of every one eligible. These men haxa promised to serve’ you effi- j ciently and honestly and will keep thoss promises. Mrs. McCormick of Illinois has evidently had some expert aid in making her report of campaign expenditures. A few weeks ago her statement showed $350,000. Now she claims to have spent only $16,000, explaining that she does not Include what it cost her to shadow Chairman Nye. At that rate the sleuths did not lose any thing to speak of. The democratic meetings being held over the county indicate that enthusiasm is not lacking, that there will be a big vote cast and that it means a democratic vic-1 tory. Every where the voters are I ready and there seems to be no doubt as to results. Don’t quit working however. Help get the vote out. Its important this year. Senator Robinson is attacking John J. Raskob instead of talking about the issues. The democratic chairman has probably not lost any sleep as a result. Mr. Raskob will talk during Collier's hour next Sunday evening and we wouldn’t be surprised if what he says then i will carry as much weight as any thing tthe junior gent from Indiana has said. Former Governor Alfred E. Smith is one of the few men in this country who has the courage to speak what he believes and in his address at Providence Monday night he charged the administration now in power with deliberately misrepresenting facts to the country. He recommended these things to improve conditions; economy in government through elimination of ap-

propriations for purely political purposes; a five-day working week; child labor regulation; passage of Senator Wagner’s bill for relief of the unemployed and amendment of the present tariff laws. Al Smith is not the kind of a fellow who believes in sitting around when there is a job to do, he thinks it ought |to be done promptly and “theme our Ideas’’ exactly. Renick W. Dunlap, assistant sec- ’ retary of agriculture In the Hoov'er administration, has been sent Ito Indiana by the republican com- ; mittee to inform our farmers that they are prosperous. Speaking at a republican meeting at Huntington. Indiana, on October 13th, he is quoted by the Indianapolis Star as making the following statement: “When I hear doleful expressions in this country, it seems to. me we are like a lot of spoiled children and do not appreciate the blessings we enjoy.’’ j This statement by the republican ' assistant secretary of agriculture is on a par with what Herbert Hoover said at Palo Alto, California, on August 11th, 1928, when he was a candidate for the presidency. I Mr. Hoover then said: “The poorhouse is vanishing from among us. We have not yet reached the goal, but given a chande to go forward with the policies of the last eight years, we shall soon, with the help of God, be in sight of the day when poverty will be banished from this nation. There is no guarantee against poverty equal to a job for every man. That is the primary purpose of the economic policies we advocate." Within a few days the enfranchised electorate of the United States will choose the seventv-sec-1 end congress. At least, it will | have the opportunity of making i that choice. Will it avail itself in full degree or anything approxi-, mating full degree of the priceless] privilege? Two years ago a presidential election that was most bitterly contested brought out only 60 per cent of the eligible vote. A .nation was aroused to fever heat, and -still 40 per cent of the voters stayed at home. Political leaders in both parties are encountering, considerable apathy- in the present congressional campaign. Even where important issues have been raised the registration is far below that of 1928. This is the tragedy of our republic. Less than half the 'enfranchised will elect a congress which must make the laws for all and which will spend the money collected from all. Such a congress cannot be said to truly represent the people, bet those who stay away from the polls forever held their peace, but if the seventysecond congress is a failure in the eyes of the voters public censure should fall heavily upon the heads of those who did not vote. One of the defects of our political system is that very often the least quaililied are the first and the most qualified are the last to vote. Vote for Ball. Governor Harry G. Leslie, without legislative or other authority, has created new offices in the state government and lias used funds in the governor’s emergency contingent fund to pay for the administration thereof. Among the new offices created by the governor without legislative authority are: 1. —Assistant secretary to the governor. 2. Indiana Coal Bureau. 3. —Consulting engineer connected with the governor’s office. Otto N. Mueller, a former college classmate of Governor Leslie, was selected as the governor’s consulting engineer. Dr. John H. Hewitt of Terre Haute, formerly a republican member of the legislature and an intimate friend of Governor Leslie was selected to have charge of what is known as the Indiana Coal Bureau. His secretary is the daughter of one of the secretaries to Governor Leslie. Although these positions were created by the governor without legislative or other legal authority the records show
