It wont be long now until we will be back to the face cream, tooth paste and pill advertisements on the radio, This week, however, you may still tune in most any time and hear a political speech. The entire ticket presented to: the voters of Adams county by the ' Democratic party is deserving of l your support. Each is qualified in every way and will take excellent care ot his duties. There is no reason why you should not put an "X” in the rooster circle. The office of County Treasurer Wechter is being kept open all day I this week, with the exception of a half hour at noon, to accommodate those who happen to find the noon hour the best time to attend to the important business of paying taxes. Mr. Wechter is an accommodating and efficient public officer. ——— If Roosevelt succeeds in turning ; the tide in the New England states [ with his trip this week, its just going to be too bad, when the returns come in. Already the west and the south is conceded to him, the middle west and the northwest seem to be "in the bag’’ and the only hope of the administration for an endorsement is now tottering. Mrs. Fay Smith-Knapp, of this ■ city, who has been speaking and with great success for the Democratic state committee, over the state, will address the women of Berne Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Knapp has a message well worth hearing and her services are in demand. James I. Farley, candidate fc • congress, will devote Friday of this week in Adams county, visiting various sections and closing with meetings in Jefferson and Monroe. He is a high grade man, a capable business success and will represent you in congress in such manner as to warrant your esteem and respect. To keep from discussing the is- ' sues ot the hour and never were, they more important the Republi-: cans, state and nationally, are re-' sorting to personalities and tricks it. an eleventh hour effort to win. The charges now being made against the Democratic candidates, all of whom are excellent and upstanding citizens, will have little ill-effect and may roar back as boomarange before election day. We are in receipt of one of the Republican campaign cards mailed from Indianapolis, showing tlio truck, labeled “U. S.” mired in the mud and the elephant trying to push it out. On the other side is written, "this is one of the trucks Wilson bought during the war." Well, that's a pretty good truck to run 14 years and if it had a good dri' er it would not have got stuck in the mud.

The Republicans in Washington headquarters are certainly grasping at straws. By some method lof mathematics, they have figured out that in some way, if two and two are six and that subtracted; : from the whole. Hoover has a; I chance to win, according to the > I Hearst poll. Os course it doesn't I signify any such thing but any old port in a storm is the attitude of! the desperate crowd fighting for I their jobs. Thousands marched in a hunger I parade in Chicago yesterday, a sad tribute to those who four years ■ ago promised unheard of and impossible prosperity to every one. Coming a week before a national election it is even more serious than otherwise and whatever the results next Tuesday, we shou'd ii4ldMW>' z e that a great and cnt : ' leal problem is ahead. Whoever is elected president will need the I united support of every good citi-' ! zen in the land. Abe Schaefer, advertising manager for the Fort Wayne JournalGazette went on the air Sunday 1 night and gave the listeners a red j hot Democratic speech that surprised all his friends, most of whom supposed he was a high class salesman only when he had the adI vertising buyer alone in his sanctum. Abe told them a few facts in language that all could under-; stand and the chances are he will i from now on be in great demand upon the platform. _ A great effort is apparently being made to prevent the election , of Paul V McNutt but if you think ' they are getting any where, slip down to Fort Wayne Thursday 1 night and watch the reception, the ; parade and the enthusiasm. This candidate is one of the best ever presented by either party. He is clean, able and in every way competent and last minute stories and accusations will not effect the results. The people want Paul McNutt for governor, are going to . have him and will not be sorry for '. it. __________ One week from today, this nation will vote. These events are always important but this year more so than ever. Many believe that a change of administrations must he made to restore good times and , there is much to support that. If you will take notice, the greatest progressives in the country are ■(supporting Roosevelt while the big I force behind Mi. Hoover is his > cabinet. This seems sure, it the ! Democrats cannot win this year. > when eleven million men are walki ing the streets without jobs, when i the farmers have no market, when business is down to zero and the > entire country in the midst ot the I worst panic e'er known in this : nation, then the party of Jefferson, may as well conclude that it

is only an instrument during state and local elections. When that happens, it means a surrender to the representatives of big business and that the populace prefers centralized control. We are sure next ' Tuesday will bring a great Democratic victory and that Mr. Hoover ' will be snowed under by an avalanch of votes greater than that ;by which he won four years ago. —« o—) i DON’T QUOTE ME * ♦ (U.R) ♦ Washington Nov. 1 -(UP)— The Presidential campaign in its final istages finds tae secretarial offices jof Governm nt departments gatherl ing dust. ® crotary f war HurleV and assistant secretary Davis? a have been away almost constantly for the last two months Assistant secretary Payne flits in and out of Washington.

They took the levy off mainly on tuition. Teachers can stand the cut. And now if the legislature meeting next January will back up the board and give the teachers a 25% or 35% cut there will be no need to shorten the school term. And also remove the tenure law. It sure is a fake. While on the subject of tax, folks should remember on election day that there is an amendment to the constitution along! tax reform i.e., the income tax amendment. Up until now property pays all ■ the tax (direct). All you who believe that tax should be adjusted and the burd-

en more equalized should vote for this amendment. Here is a peculiar thing about an amendment. It fails of passage if a majority of those voting on that election fail to vote yes. It also fails if say out of one million votes cast. 490,00(1 were for it and only 100,000 were again*** j® ( not a majority of the votes. So those in favor should vote yea and not merely think "oh v ell it will I pass any way.’’ Since the war President Hoov-I j-r is the only president that has run the nation into debt, that is I added to the national debt. After; the war every president including. Wilson reduced the national debt from around throe-fourths to a billion dollars each fiscal year, i flcover has left a debt of around 16 billion. At the end of the! fiscal year for 1931 he had a deficit of over $902,090,000. At the | end of the fiscal year for 1932 he; had another additional deficit of $2,881,000,900. which totals our national del/, to date at over 19% billions of dollars—from "Congressional Record" of July for 1932. . And to think that all this time Hoover was telling the country to I "cheer up" that “prosperity was( just around the corner.” Didn’t' the man know the true conditions or did it take the Democratic!

house to apprise of it? t A person could iest describe E the condition of our country’s t government by a parallel It’s in ’ the same shape as our corn fields 1 were a couple of months ago, > especially the high ground Ami * every farmer knows that they ! i were in a devil of a shape. Every 1 one in Adams county that is fat- 1 I erested in tax knows what a dis- 1 ( cussiou there was a few weeks 1 I ago over budgets. And the beauty ’ : part if that they were forced I down — the levy and also the 1 amount of tax. to ease the tax ; burden. And now behold the : spectacle, fellow citizens, in our i national government, with depres- ; sion universal over our fair land. ( millions of mon out of work and illy fed. mortgages foreclosed, I factories shut down and the com- ; mon man hard put to meet his [ bills. Pres. Hoover’s administra- : tion raises the federal tax to balance his shortsightedness. And not only that Henry Ford admonishes his men to vote for a continuance while he himself cannot vote. We have extra tax (indirect) on gas (let.) on rubber i tires, etc., fuel, stamps, checks, I etc. and yet the budget will not i balance. Centuries ago there came to I this country a Spaniard by the
