More about it soon. The campaign got real warm ' down in Allen county and all kind I of last minute propaganda was sent • out. That’s about the most foolish I thing we know of and we doubt if it ever makes a vote. Any one who ' would swallow such stuff would be most too dumb to vote. The busiest place in town yesterday was the office of the county , treasurer where Ed Ashbaucher , and his force of half a dozen clerks I were kept on the jump from morning until night. Taxes are hard to pay but. we don't lighten the burdby waiting until the last day io pay them. A dozen Hoosiers died over the week-end from the use of poison liquor, which seems to be just the •» staTt of a season along that line.

These are good for any community at any time and especially so now when there is need of getting back to the old fashioned religion.

I which ended the battle. The score lof other criminals who were ready to join the fracas quieted down Immediately when their leader fell and were soon under control. Most of these fellows are cowards at heart and when the opposition shows light, they quit. This county has had its up and downs as have others, we have had financial worries as has every county in the United States, we have had crop failures and have | fought business up hill along with II he re st of the country, but we i have beaten the game. Our banks are going nicely, business is better than in most places, we can see bright days ahead. Keep smiling and working. Let’s start tomorrow to make the next year the best ever known here. Think it can’t be done? We know it can. We believe that if five hundred people in the county would unselfishly make up their minds that they wanted to do things, nothing could stop them. We can get new industries that will help every one, we can build, we can make this the trading center for a twenty-mile radius, we can help each other and be happier than any other community, if we |, make up our minds and pull to-t gether. Who buys the diamonds for “Diamond Joe?” Who pays for the bombs that destroy life and prop- i erty? Why has machine-gun assassination become a regular order of the day in a number of American , cities? Bootleg and underworld [ ! profits. That is the answer. The I ■ gang which is in power handles the j I bootleg trade. That pays for the j diamonds, and takes the kiddies on I the well-known picnic in the sum-I mer. The coming of prohibition was a shower of gold to gangland.. A new source of revenue, which' made previous graft seem like small change, was opened by the Volstead law. Millions of dollars which before had gone in taxes to the government were diverted to jthe handlers of illicit liquor trade. | So there came into being the bootleg kings and bootleg queens and, their lawless, murderous retinues. And there came a league between these outlaws and the political bosses and police. The loot is widely distributed. It corrupts i courts, public offices and police dei partments. The law breaks down in its presence. Politicians make I use of gangs and gunmen to carry I primaries and get into office. America is only now finding out its own complexity. It has discovered that great reforms are not accom- ! plished by the simple process of passing another law. Laws are like medicines in that sometimes they, in curing old ills, cause other disorders that may be more dangerous. There is about a period of prosj perity or a season of depression a certain mass psychology over and above the economic factors which are partly responsible. Undue timidity and undue rashness are explained best on the ground of psychology. Therefore to end a business depression it is first necessary to change public timidity into public temerity. Thiq is the theory behind the “buy now” campaigns now being organized throughout the country. It is thought that if the people once get back into the ’ habit of buying, the end of the business slump won't be long in coming. As a stimulous to business ( the plan has great possibilities. Certainly nothing is to be gained in postponing the gratification of desires one can afford. As the i“buy now” plan is understood, there i is no urging people to go into debt : merely to buy. That would aggravate conditions and prolong the period of economic convalescence. I The object is to encourage more 'spending for both necessities and (luxuries by that supposedly large | body of persons who have been | hoarding their money in the expectation of lower pnices or because ■da panicky fear of prolonged hard

ELECTION WILL BE VITAL FOR 1932 POLITICS One of Most Important Off-Year Campaigns in History By Raymond Clapper I United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Nov. 4 —(U.R) —Presidential politics in 1932 will be vitally affected by the results of today's election according to the almost unanimous view of politicians and observers. Seldom has an off-year election held the significance of this one. First of all President Hoover will make a tremendous psychological advance, or suffer an equally serious reverse depending on whether the Republicans hold or lose the House of Representatives. New- presidential aspirants among the Democrats may get their initial start if they win now. Older ones may lone for all time their chance at the White House If they suffer defeat. Prohibition Big Issue The fate of the prohibition issue, which appears to be rending party lines with explosive force, also is bound up to some degree :U the lesult. Though he has sought to keep aloof, President Hoover has the most at stake. He is prepared to see the House majority of more than 100 materially reduced. He swept many Republican congressmen into office with the tremendous momentum of his victory in 1928. They have no such force now to pull them through and many will lose. Democrats confidently expect to gain the 53 seats which they need to control the, House. The rule has been that I when a party captures the House; in an off-year election, it elects its president two years later. Even should the Republicans lose the House, few politicians in either party believe Mr. Hoover ■ could be deprived of renomination' if he wanted it. He might have' opposition, however. Some have | urged that Dwight W. Morrow, Republican senatorial candidate in New Jersey, advocating repeal of the 18th amendment, would be an opposing candidate for the nomi-

31 ' I In women’s hands ffi IN THE FREEDOM of women’s hands is to be read much of the story of this modern day. Hands that Jj press electric buttons, that lift telephone receivers, S that turn the pages of newspapers. Hands no longS er fettered by the endless household labors of a generation ago. In women’s hands today are the advertisements in S the daily paper. They speak to every woman’s judgI S ment. They appeal to her sense of efficiency. They $ answer her desire for a life unhampered by needless ijfi difficulties and restraints. ' S ’* By helping her in the intelligent management of ; Jfi her household, advertisements free her hands for jr direction, for pleasure, for the graces of living. k jg They tell her of products and appliances that lighten 1 S her work. They tell her of foods, clothing and equip- , ment that can be advantageously bought. They tell i S her of countless ways in which she can manage her * home more economically and with more success. In women’s hands advertisements are symbols of 1 S a new power in a new day. They are eloquent of i. S progress, of comfort, of accomplishment. They 1 ® serve well. Read them. i. tfZ s iir 1 S Consult the advertising f J with confidence i. Jn a. fta. I Decatur Daily Democrat I- EE

I nation. Morrow recently declared he expected to have the opportunity of voting for Mr. Hoover in 1932. He is not encouraging the movement. If Gifford Piuchot again is elected Republican governor of Pennsylvania—against the opposition of the Vare machine and other important deserters, this fighting insurgent might become the leader of an independent Republican movement in 1932. Democratic Hopes Individual Democratic presidential hopes hang on this election far more than do those of Republican'*. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, long regarded as a possible candidate, has been burdened with Tammany judgeship scandals so heavily that even should he be re-elected, he should have vehement though not necessarily fatal opposition as a presidential aspirant. If he loses now, however, he will be scratched from the IH-mocratic presidential list. Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, vice-presidential candidate with former Governor Alfred E. Smith in 1928, is one of the dry presidential aspirants who must be reckoned with by all con tenders. He is a candidate for reelection but having no opposition: he is certain to continue in the senate. Governor Albert C. Hit- j cHie of Maryland, a candidate for his fourth term at Annapolis, favoring repeal of the 18th amendment will, if elected, sack the mantle of Smith as the hope of Democratic anti-prohibitionist. He stood aside in 1928 to give Smith a clear field for the support of , wet Democrats at the Houston convention. His defeat by Mayor Wili liarn Broening of Baltimore, Republican candidate for governor, would remove him from the presidential picture. Most Democratic interest concentrates on Rbbert J. Bulkley, Demoi cratic candidate for senator in Ohio. He stands for outright repeal in the state which was the birthplace of the Anti-Saloon ■ League, the home of Senator 1 Simeon D. Fess, chairman of the | Republican nationa' committee and , of Postmaster General Walter F. , Brown, the chief political power ' in the Hoover circle, a large doubtful state which has mothered sev- ■ ( eral presidents of the nation. He ' is young, and except for an incon- :' sp’.cuous term in Congress some years ago, he is a new star on the political horizon. With defeat now i Bulkley would quickly retire into ’ the political limbo. But if he del , teats the Republican candidate, ■ 1 Senator Roscoe McCullough, his

name will l> e blaioned across the < country as a new nationa) Demo- | cratic figure. South in Fold Two years is a generation in « politics. The south, which was broken by Mr. Hoover in 1988 r when he carried four of the ton i states which had never gone Republican since reconstruction days, Lh -well back into the Democratic i fold. Republicans are making a fight to hold their gains especially < in North Carolina. i Republicans expect no gains and I are prepared to take losses. They i are fighting to hold three seats which they got In Virginia in 1928, i and two In North Carolina but they I will consider anything salvaged out of this as a something to be thank- I ful for. All surface indications : are that the southern revolt of 1928 Is dead. In Virginia, the home of Blshrop James Cannon, Jr., Republicans did not even put up a candidate for senator against Senator Carter Glass, who supported Smith. In North Carolina the veteran Senator, Furnifold Simmons, was defeated in the primary after a life-time of public service. He had refused to support Smith. In Alabama the Democrats likewise refused renomination to SenI ator J. Thomas Heflin because he refused to support Smith, but this (fighting figure is running as an j independent. Repeal in Background ( Rising in the background in men- ! acing proportions is the prohibition issue. Many Democratic state ! j units in the north are tending to-1 ward repeal of the 18th amend-' ment. Republicans have done like-, ' wise in New York, New Jersey and Washington state. But the ' bulk of the Republican party, like • its national chairman, is political- ' ly dry. Some influential Republican leaders deoiare that if the Hoover administration shifts to- ' ward modification, an independent 1 Republican movement headed by ’ Senator Borah or possibly Vice- ’ i President Curtis, would be likely 1 (Such a split might mean defeat in 1932. However, the Democrats ’ have the dry southern states to 1 contend with. To same degree, the ■' results of the impending balloting will guide party leaders on ’ both sides as they gingerly pre-; ’ pare to deal with this irrepressi-1 ? I ble issue of prohibition in antici- ‘ pation of the 1932 presidential contest. o ) Hammer Throwing The game of throwing the ham , mer is said to have been of Celti j origin.
