Doctors haven't figured out just why the long nap but a lot of folks would like to take one like that until things brighten! generally. Hon. Fred VanNuys, candidate for United States Senator against James E. Watson will speak at the court house here next Wednesday morning at ten o’clock. Come and listen. He has some things to say to you that are worth hearing. A crowd of sixty thousand heard Roosevelt at Indianapolis yesterday and cheered him time and again. He is the candidate of the people and those who say he does not receive genuine ovations, just don’t know what they are talking about. Ed Bush and Jim Watson have shaken hands and will campaign 'together. A few weeks ago Bush was declaring that he was against any thing that Jim was for but that evidently did not include the Republican doctrines. At that every one will smile as each eulogizes the other, knowing their actual feelings in the matter. Trying to win an election by technicalities or petty tactics, will not prove very popular here, where we believe the people should rule and should be given the right of free suffrage. Mr. DeVoss will be elected judge, regardless of any efforts to the contrary for no comrranity is more in favor of fair play than here. Arrangements are. complete for' a great rally at Bet lie. Monday night. At that time Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owens and Mrs. Samuel M. Ralston and Mrs. Flynn, state chairwoman, will speak. Mr. Farley, nominee for congress and other candidates will be there. A parade . will preced the event. Swell the , crowd and enjoy the biggest polit- ~ ical ral'y in the county this year. James A.

apolis tonight. He has been in that * city all of today, meeting with | workers from over the state and i advising as to the things to be done between now and election day. lie is cue of tho really great national chairman the party has had in years and his great wisdom and , energy has had much to do with ’ the fast moving campaign of 1932. The Literary Digest poll tor this week shows a continued and steadygain for Roosevelt. From all over the country he is cither in the lead or mighty close to it. The poll gives him all the states but seven. And ' this after the opposition has fired its biggest guns—Hoover and Coolidge. If there was to be any letup, it w-ould have appeared by now. Get ready for a great Democratic victory. The people want a new deal and are going to get it. Governor Roosevelt is on another great trip of his campaign and spoke ' yesterday to an immense crowd at' Indianapolis. He doesn't just slip ' into a town, make a speech and dodge out. Instead of doing that, he meets the workers from over ; the territory he is in and advises 1 with them, not only as to the outlook for a victory but as to what i can be done that will most help! conditions. He is a wonderful man and those who heard him in this state are stronger than ever for him. In 1928, James Watson was a candidate for President, seeking the nomination -against Herbert Hoover. He published what was called a “Watson for President daily’’ and in the issue of May 6th that year, said: “Discard Herbert Hoover, who is an American onlyin the accident of his birth. His wealth is Brittish. his inclinations are Brittish and he would standardize American thought along Brittish lines." The people failed to listen to Jim then but they are going to do so on November Bth. The Democratic committee of Wells county has issued a circular showing the difference in prices of farm products now as compared to eleven years ago and urging the farmers to vote accordingly. They will we are sure, not only in We'.ls county but in Adams and everywhere else. In 1921 wheat brought $1.70, oats 35c and corn'7sc; eggs were 30c, butter 40c. hay $8 to $lO, hogs $9.50, cattle $5 to $7, wool 20c. etc. Today the prices are so near zero that the market is about wiped out. — > i » ■- Charging that a certification of nominees was filed too soon is somewhat unusual and certainly a happer.Lig that would not be considered serious by any one who stops to think, for being ahead of lime is always bettor than being late. In the instance here, regarding the meeting of the committeemen to select a Democratic nominee for judge, the record shows the papers were filed within the time as prescribed by law. That certainly settles it for every one in- ' dined to be fair Let's quit sparr- | ing and have an election in which I the people may express their preferences. In the coming election you will i be given ’he opportunity to express your desires on two questions—the proposed income tax and lhe qualifications for lawyers. The income tax proposition is one which at this time would probably prove just an additional burden, with returns light and expenses heavy, for if any exemptions are permitted, few would pay. As to the second one, we feel it should pass. Foi many years the effort has been made to change the qualifications for those who would practise law and we know of no good argument against it You will of course vote your own sentiments and the referendum thus expressed, will disclose what the voters of Indiana think about these questions. —* o BARGAINS — Bargains in Living Room.

The capital heard today that Garner raised about $2u0,000 in a recent trip to New York and had been assured he could get another JlOw.ttOD if the need arose. Garner has been doing little pub-1 lie speaking, preferring to hurl his ammunition in the form of state-! ments to the press from his Washington office. The method is in contra-t to the long speaking grinds undertaken by Vice-Presi-dent Curtis. Curtis is the elder by nine years but seems to like the active, hustling lite of a campaign; orator. Garner thinks he can get j his name on the front page oftener by issuing statements here rather than in speaking in Kankakee or Elkstown.

One of the most poignant triangle drama* ever recounted outside the j page* of Action came to a tragic conclusion al Woodmere, L. 1., when the bodies of Mr*. Jean Phillip* and her two children, Norma and Christopher, were found gassed to death in their home. The triple tragedy was the climax of a domestic tangle that had been going on for months Guy Phillip*, actor and dramatic coach, had turned from Lib wife and given his affection to Mrs. Theresa Seltzer, wife of a wealthy linen im 1 porter. At first Phillips carried on the affair clandestinely, but later had op .inly shown hi* devotion to the “other woman." The last act of the drama began when Mrs. Phillip* proposed a conference between all parties concerned—-herself, her husband, Mr*, and Mr. Seltzer, who, I incidentally had filed suit charging Phillip* with alienation of affections. Seltzer declined the invitation, but the other throe discussed their prob lem and decided that divorce was the only way out. Mr*. Seltzer and , Phillip* were to divorce their respective mate* and get married. But Mr*. Phillip* apparently wanted to make sure that her husband got th* I freedom he desired. And when the conference had concluded and the ( family had retired for the night, she turned on the ga* jet*, killing * herself and her two children.

| CHURCH REVIVALS Church of God Interest was high and the attendance was good at the Church V>f God revival last evening. Rev. Marshall’s sermon on “The Power of the Gospel’’ was directed mainly to Christian people. He spoke of the gospel f Christ as dealing with the spiritual re?lm and stressed the great necessity of Christians bein’g tilled with the spirit. Rev. Marshall spoke with authority as to what the gospel should do for men and declare there is power enough to UH every Christian heart and set them on fire for God. He further state.! that God calls men to witness for him and then back up their testimony by a G dly life. He referred t<x.the early reformers, as being successful because they were filled with pawet from God. There is p »er in the gospel, he said, to drive out coldness and in difference and to cause men to sacrifice for the spreail of the gospel. He closed his remarks to the Christians with an exhortati n to present themselves jo God and let Him fin them with divine power.
