speakers on the program and an enthuisasm that ought to continue over the next day. It won’t be long now. Just the wind-up and then the voting and then we can all settle down to trying to get out of the depression, a job just as important to one party as the other. Those who watched the enthusiastic rally at Fort Wayne last evening have no doubt in their minds as to the results next Tuesday. All the dirt spread about Paul V. McNutt has made him stronger it seems. We know of one group of people in the county, a church congregation. where four ye,ars ago the straw poll showed 44 to 20 in favor of Hoover that this week resulted 47 for Roosevelt and 10 for Hoover, giving an idea of how people have changed their minds. If the administration can stop the downward slide, why haven’t they done so? They have had three years to stop the depression end it has continually grown worse. It s time to change horses and as Clifford Townsend says, “there is no danger in that when the stream is dry." President Hoover talks about grass growing in the streets.’’ If it does, and students of history will

rt member that such a thing occurred to the old Roman empire, it can be charged to the present administration. We have never been as close to it as the past year or two. The voluntary act of appreciation by eighteen unemployed men who had been assisted by Trustee Noll, by going to his farm and husking over five hundred bushels of corn, shows a tine spirit. Its a burning shame that men as willing as that to earn a living are denied the right to do so. The decision to locate the poultry and egg plant here for the Farm Bureau Association. Inc., will mean much to this community, bringing farm products here from a li .'f dozon counties, the handling of which will require the services of a large force. Thos working tor this deserve the support of every one who wishes to help. It is said that appeals hgve been sent to ministers over the state asking them to appeal to their congregation neat Sunday for Senator Watson. We do not believe this practise of using the pulpit as a soap box will be engaged in here. May we remind those so inclined to remember that Fred VanNuys, his opponent, is one of the finest citizens of the state in every way, who has led a moral life, is a church member and has the oest ideals.

It’s all over but the last hour underhanded and unfair messages which usually creep into a campaign. In this county we have never indulged in the practise to a great extent and we hope the same rule will be followed this ' year. We are al! neighbors and friends and under the heat of a hot national campaign we should not forget that its always best to keep our feet on the ground. Personalities in a campaign were long ago stricken out but this year, the Republicans, in a desperate attempt to stem the tide, are engaging in that to an extent not seen in two decades. Even the President has taken to it and is being followed by others. State and national Republican headquarters are sending out dope, urging their speakers to use the dirt as thus given them. We don’t believe the voters are giving much attention to that stuff at a time when vital issues are at stake. • - Fred VanNuys is continuing his drive towards the United States senate and there is no doubt but that he will succeed James E. Watson. The latter celebrated his birthday last night, sixty-eight

years old. on the federal pay roll more than half those years. A good time was had by every one and iis a good thing they had it before election. Fanners, laboring men, veterans and others have definitely decided the senior senator from Indiana will be retired next Tuesday. g - ■ - Phil Sauers and Frank Martin are the Democratic candidates for commissioner in this county. Mr. Sauers, of the first district, is an honest, hard working man who is known all over the county for his uprightness and his industriousregs. He is bound to no crowd, individual or interest and will serve to the best of his ability. Mr. Martin, of the second district, has served the county the past two years and with credit. His record is cleaw and he will keep it that way. striving always to do the right thing at the right time. Both men deserve support, with the rest of the Democratic ticket. The Berne Witness takes us to task because we urge the election of Paul V. McNutt as governor and term him "a fine gentleman.’’ What’s wrong with that? No one denies he is and it certainly can be nothing against him. In addition however he has other qualifications. He is an able speaker, has a knowledge of law and government that Is equalled by few in the

state, is honest, trustworthy and will make a great governor. He is for the people and all the petty Charges dug up by the political scandal spreaders, will not hurt him. He will be given a great vote ntxt Tttesdav. regardless of anv dirt the Witness and a few other partisan papers and speakers. Herbert Hoover. 1525 Grove street. Lafayette. Ind., will not vote for Herbert Hoover for Presi-1 dent, he has announced. Mr. Hoo-I ver owns his own home, and when he works, which has not been often lately, he is an iron worker at the Schwab Safe fc Lock Works in Lafayette, where he has been employed for several years. The only Democratic candidate Mr. Hoover ever voted for was George R. Dargan for Mayor of Lafayette. He voted for Herbert Hoover for president four years ago and the fact that he has the same name as the president gave him considerable prominence at that time. Mr. Hoo1 ver let it be known then that he was a Republican and always had teen. However, Mr. Hoover has announced that he is voting tor ! Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt ’ and the straight Democratic stete. • district and county ticket this eiec- ' tion. Mr. Hoover is a World War ' veteran and a substantial citizen of Lafayette. < o '«■ i BARGAINS — Bargains in Living [ Room. Dining Room Suites. Mat tresses and R igs. Stuckey and Co. .

, I $2,000. Chairman James C. Stone of the \ Federal Farm Board is recovering I fiom a protracted illness just : about in time to face the annual {congressional attack on the board. Stone has heen in Johns Hopskins hospital, Baltimore, for more than a month. He probably will jbe convalescing during senate committee hearings this month on I farm board activities. He expects to be on hand, however, when the anti-farm board bloc gets going I full blast in December. Stone, formerly a Kentucky {planter, thinks there is no thrill like seeing a horse one had bred iconic thundering down the stretch to win a big race. “No Kentuck!ian eves commits suicide during 'the spring if he hds a horse in {training.” he says. Since his appointment this dapper farm board chairman has departed from the planter’s traditional easy life.

It will not be used If you prefer that it not be. i ’• • THIS ELECTION F On next Tuesday, November 8, J the people will go to the polls to ' decide just what type of govern- ‘ ment they will have for the next ! four ensuing years. We have list- < ened with interest to the pleas of ! the candidates of both parties. 1 There Is no doubt, but that the f majority of the candidates are sin 1 cere in their desire to effect an 1 improvement in general conditions of our country. Regardless of who ’ will be President of these United Stales, we are going to live among ' the same folks, and every loyal * American will do his individual {• part to try to relieve the suffering { that is rampant. Party lines can i not be well drawn, when it is at; case of the common welfare of humanity at stake. {< The writer, personally, has been { 1 listening with interest to the argu-1 { ments of the candidates of both parties, and feels that after all/ common sense and principle will, 1 prevail. We have heard an ardent dry say that If the wet candidates are elect ed that .the saloon will re-1 turn, and that in every confection-j ery store, liquors will be served i instead of soda water. Real thinking Americans, of both the Repub-, lican and Democrat parties, know{ that regardless of what party is. in power, thgt they could not let such a condition exist, and that the best minds of our country would 1 be called in tn work out a common j sensible and feasible plan, particularly adaptable to the conditions; of our country, and fitting to the personal welfare of each and every < citizen. Wp have- had alm st 15 years of I trying to regulate the moral hab-; its of our American people with a j federal yardstick, and we have | found that the Volstead act has been a dismal failure from all < angles. In place of helping the morale of our country, it has brought about conditions of a serious and threatening nature, that never before have confronted a nation. There is no question in the writ-1 er’s mind, but that with the return { | of light wines and beers, under (strict government supervision. we| will overcome the devastating es-

sects of the Volstead act. Experience is a dear teacher, and we cannot help but draw a lesson, that with strict governmental contso!. that the saloon evil that we formerly had will be done away with for all time to come, for everyone agrees that the saloon was very detrimental to the pro gress of our nation. The other night at the Republi- { can meeting here in Decatur, when : Hon. Harry G. Leslie, our Gover- 1 nor, addressed a fine audience, and gave a fearless resume of his four years of fine administration, he impiessed one and all with his enviable service to his state, and irrespective of politics, each and every one will agree that his term has been an exeelieiii oue. Gov. Leslie is a “man amongst men" and a Governor to whom we people of Indiana can point with pride. We are proud of his record. and his untiring Interest in the welfare of our great state. Whoever it is, who follows Governor Leslie into the Governor’s chair, will find a record worthy of emulation After the splendid constructive ' talk of our Governor, it was surely |a distinct disappointment to the writer, aud 1 am quite sure to oth'er thinking men, who want to be i regarded as fair and tolerant, to I have to listen to our Congressman 1 David Hogg expound the weak, .senseless ideas that he tried to present to an intelligent audience. ■To say that our "Government spent 1 millions of dollars through the I Farm Board which was so helpful jto the farmer, was just such a [senseless remark, for never before lin the economic history of our country have the farmers commodiity prices been so low as they are 'at present. The Farm Board has 'been a great detiitn?nt. and even President Hoover realizes that it I was a sad mistake, and he will not make this mistake again. Each and every one knows that Govern- ' ment in busines t?kes away the iniative from the American bus--1 iness euterprizes and it is flagrantily opposed to the principles that lour forefathers laid down as the basis for building up this great {country of ours. If Teddy Roose- ' velt would have been President, or Jefferson, that fearless defender of the Constitution, such a blot as this Farm Board, on the fair {name of our government would never have been permitted. I am writing this letter in a sinicere manner, because I am proud jot the fact that 1 am a good citiizen, and a Republican, who will l vote for Herbert Hoover, but who j cannot and will not support David { Hogg, for he has proven that hi 4 ■ ideas of government are not con-
