The Insull boys are having a lot of publicity these days but we assume it is not nearly as pleasant as some they have bad in the past. We may urge and discuss and ■ wager and brag and I; low. but four weeks from today we will be settl- ; ing it all with our ballots. Senator David Walsh, brilliant orator, will speak at a Democratic rally at Fort Wayne tomorrow evening and that will be worth hearing. There is one argument that we i laven’t heard answered by Mr. Hoover or any of his lieutenants i and after all its the most important —Why 40c wheat. 12c oats and i 25c corn ? It', rumored that the Indiana ite-j publicans have received a couple of hundred thousand from the national committee. Now if we knew just vvfiere they got that dough we might be able to figure out who is so anxious to continue in the old rut and why. Clifford Townsend. Democratic candidate for lieutenant-governor and a leader in the Farm Bureau movement, will be the speaker at a rally to be held in this county on the evening of November Ist. I‘lans are now being made and will 1 so announced as soon as completed. ! Mr. Townsend is well posted, a fluent talkei and his address will lie valuable to those who hear him. The county commissioners have authorized the payment of sums due the state highway commission and that body will according to the agreement immediately take over * the Decatur-Willshire road, known 1 as No. 54, making such improvements as are possible this fall and putting it in first class condition next spring and summer. That will be a wonderful help to this city for j this road is one of the most service- j able leading to this city. The state , commission w ill also take over the road from Willshire to the Wells county line. Senator James Reed of Missouri, I veteran Democrat and leader in

many campaigns, gave an address al Des Moines last evening, replying to the speech made there just a week ago and millions who listjened to him over the radio agree 1 ; that he did it and nicely. Its something when the biggest actors in the political drama must battle in t! old lowa, which usually gives a Rei publican majority that totals way ; up in six figures. The G. O. P. is ' having a tough time this ;. eat because they must scrap in about ' every state in the Union to get any 1 where. = :— ■ 11 !. The Republicans, sensing the danger of talking about economic questions are anxious in certain territories to tell how dry they are while in others to promise to follow Mr. Hoover on his wet program as announced in his speech of acceptance. We don't believe they will be able to thus fool the voters again. Regardless of what they say, every one knows that there is only one way to change the constitution and that is by the approval of the people themselves, j The issue this year should be bread 'and butter and how to get enough of it to exist upon.

The tax adjustment board took another smash at high taxes and us. a result the Decatur total city tax has been fixed at $1.95. Thai’s fine for the tax payer in one way tut we have serious doubts if it will meet all the requirements of an exacting public. Just hbw it can be worked out we do not know and we haven't found any one else that does but drastic action seems ; necessary and we will just have to ! work out of this unusual depression. To do that will require the I earnest cooperation of every one. The lioard members have acted in good faith; of that we are sure; its up to every one to do the very best they can.. One of these days con ditions will change but just now economies every where seem to be in order. The church is the greatest institution in the land and it is far too important to be broken down by indulging in politics. It is necessary to hold elections and in each of the old parties will be found many excellent citizens and good, ' earnest Christians. They may disagree slightly, as to just what ; should be done to better the laws ’ which control the liquor traffic but | they still believe the church is a l House of God, where His word is ; taught and spoken. We talk on the ! streets or in the shop but when we I go to church we wish to bow in ■ [meekness and raise our thoughts! Ito Him who offers conso'ation and; succor so much needed in these • days. The church is not the p'acel to wash out the dirty linen of poll- I tics and we sincerely hope this will! Ihe kept in mind in this county. ' We doubt if converting the pulpit .into political forums gains any thing, either for the church or the party whose principles are thus e«jonsed i ~ "ZZZTL * TWENTY YEARS | AGO TODAY l i| l From the Daily Democrat File > 4] Mrs. Elhn F ; tzgerald Dailey of!

I sually a speech is a erttnposfte of ideas and advice gathered in count less conversations with advisers. Sometimes to varying degrees the actual language may he drafted by .someone other than the candidate who gives his own stamp of authority tn the word and thus becomes responsible in history for them. There is nothing unusual about the matter. It is exactly what any busy executive does when he asks one of his assistants to prepare him a memorandum about some matter. He does this for lack of time and because he believes his assistant to be more thoroughly familiar with the full details. It is much the same with a candidate for president ami even a president.

j Some do most of the final drafting I themselves, rarely using material. I supplied as the source of facts to I be incorporated. Others depend on : assistants for the actual language . in its final form, subject of course I |to revision and editing. I The country is full of persons' who are being credited with having . inspired something Governor Roosej velt has said. His Salt Lake City ( railroad speech, it is said by the I understand" battalion (which al-1 'wavs knows the low-down whether I it happens to be true or not) was I the brainchild of various parents 'including Daniel Willard, president I 'of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, I i who is a Democrat with liberal [ [tendencies toward labor, ami by I ; Donald Richberg, an expert railroad I lawyer with strong pro-labor views. I Governor Pinchnt of Pennsylvania. 1 according to the talk reaching! • Washington, contributed some ideas I >to the Roosevelt utility speech at Portland. And the two farm I ‘speeches, so this column’s agents | report, were ghosted in part by John McSparran. Pinchot’s secre-' tary of agriculture, and former head of the National Grange. President Hoover opened his Des Moines address with a colorful I passage about his lowa boyhood—the popcorn bails at Christmas, the 1 torchlight parade for Garfield | which he ran along beside, the talk of hard times It was such a liter-1 ary gem. and so in contrast with ' the somber discussion of the de- i pression which began on the next 1 page of the manuscript that some I suspected it was the work ot French Strother.
