You have only three more days In which to qualify to vote in case you are not registered or your name is not on the books properly. The next month will be a busy one politically and the calendar' will be well Ailed for every one interested. A dozen meetings will be held in this county. Call at Democratic headquarters tor pictures of candidates and post them in your window. This is a real tight this year and its a good time to show your colors. President Roosevelt is right: Governor Landon cannot honestly be conservative in the east and progressive in the west. He can not give all he promises and charge nobody any thing for it. Don't be fooled. Mr. Springer , cannot and will not change the gross income tax law if he could be elected. Mr. Townsend calf and will make such corrections as seem advisable and legal, when he is elected. Rain failed to stop the first game of the world series and 48,000 fans sat"Ti out while the boys battled in the mud. It w.a a great game and demonstrated the fact that both teams are of championship material. Now that the straw votes have' been decided by the G. O. P. to be unfair and undependable, how about going on with the campaign and holding the election on Novembffi- 3rd? After all that’s the vote that really counts. Arrangements are being made for a meeting in the south part of the county on October 22nd, when Hon. Earl Crawford, secretary to Governor McNutt will be principle speaker. It wilt be another meeting you will want to attend. C. J. Lutz, receiver, and Robert Cramer, his assistant, are making every effort to pay a dividend at the Old Adaius County Bank before tax paying time and several thousand depositors are earnestly hoping they will be able to do so. We are sorry that Portland ItaiJ happened on to such a disagree ! able week for her Centennial for we know just how discouraging it is for those who have worked so, long and earnestly to make the event the success it deserves. Sot far the program has been greatly interferred with. Thu more we read of the trouble in Spain and other foreign lands, the gladder we should be that we live In a nation where problems are settled by the Indlot and the more we should realize our duty to use the rights of suffrage. If you are not properly registered,

see that you are before Monday i evening i President Roosevelt got off to a ■ good start in his first political 1 speech of the campaign at the New 1 York state convention and the enthusiasm beard there was the kind that can't be beaten. The president speaks fearlessly and wiTMy I and will be listened to the next few weeks with great interest by millions who have faith iu him. The address of Harry H. Woodring, secretary of war and a statesman of merit, former governor of Kansas and able to speak on as- 1 fairs in Washington as well us to tell us about the Republican can ; didate for president, should be of, much interest here. The date has been duly confirmed by the nati ional committee and the cabinet member will speak here the night of October 17th. Eleven members of the Black I Legion must go to prison, seven ; of them for first degree murder and . four for second degree. The sev-■ ( en will be sent up for life, that be-1 mg the maximum sentence in i Michigan while the others may be■ paroled at the end of twenty years. The result of the trial followed the ■ murder of Charles A. Poole last, May and should conclude the ac- | tivities of one of the worst secret bands ever organized in America — “I have not sought, I do not seek. I repudiate the support oti ' any advocate of communism or of, ■ any other alien 'ism’ which would , by fair means or foul change our American democracy/’ said Prem-l dent Roosevelt in a speech which spiked once and for all the iflklnu-| at ions that he was un-American. Win. lose or draw, you may always 1 feel proud of supporting a man like Franklin D. Roosevelt. He is making the greatest fight for tltr people since the days of Jefferson • and Jackson. The New York Sun, vigorous Republican paper, calls attention to the fact that the Literary Digest poll this year is not representative. The paper calls attention to the fact that in New York the vote announced came from 53,90a who , voted Tor Hoover and 35,605 who voted for Roosevelt four years ago. Quite naturally that would show a strong Republican majority but it | doesn't prove any thing. That is, especially true this year also because the Digest vote is taken largely from those who have tele-, phones, own a car or have been; on the Digest subscription list. Some fellow named Browder is supposed to be the communist can-' didate for president. A week ago his advance man went to Terre Haute and tried to arrange for a I public meeting in the State Teach- 1 I ers College auditorium. President Tiery promptly refused on the | grounds that is was not a place for such a meeting and that the' hall was needed on the dale desired. for school purposes, in which position he is unanimously sup- i ported by the board of trustees. Threats of damage suits are being made. Indiana shoniH have no! suitable place for such a meeting, i aud we doubt if it has. Governor McNutt will devote the ■ next five weeks in answering those who have aud will criticize his ad- [ ministration and when he is . through, the voter will have the I knowledge he should desire in ! order to make up his mind. After j explaining the various acts during! I his term as governor, he condui ts ■ a public forum as he did two years! : ago, allowing any one iu the audi-; enee to ask questions which he I answers honestly and correctly. The governor has a right to be proud of his accomplishments and the future historian will record his j four years as among the hest on the pages of Indiana biutory. • —, ,—(,———■ — Kish fry, Moose Home. 7 p. m- Monday, Oct. 7th. 25c.

WHY 1 SHALL VOTE FOR F. D. R. When Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected in 1932 I was so angry I could hardly see straight. I had voted for Hoover and was greatly I disappointed when he was defeated. I felt, and still feel. Hoover was 1 honest and upright. I felt, at the time, he was capable. When Roosevelt took such prompt and daring action in the bank ing crisis. J. said to some of my fellow Republicans: •'Well, he’s cer tainly giving as action.” ' \s time heals all wounds. I lost some of my anger and resentment. When Roosevelt started the NRA I thought it an excellent idea. I felt a little warmer toward him. 1 could see he was really trying and not merely giving lip service. When he founded the CCC camps 1 admired his sound judgment in taking a half-million boys off the street corners and putting them at useful occupations. When he passed the bills such as the Holding Company Act, the <’ Tennessee Valley Authority, the AAA. I was firmly convinced that here was a man who was actually for the common people and was demon strating this fact with deeds and not words. For, even though I had never voted Democratic, upon thinking the matter over 1 had to admit I could think of no Republican president in my time who had t really had the interests of the common people so much at heart. Even up to that time. I was still a little lukewarm toward Roosevelt. Then. I began to notice that the Republican press was sniping at his efforts. 1 resented this because I’ve always been a believer in • fair play and this seemed like very poor sportsmanship to me. I must confess that up to this time, outside of reading the Hold- ! ' ing Company Act several times and one or two other bills, I had never read political comments by such writers as -Mark Sullivan. Frank Kent and Walter Lippman. One day I said to myself, ’T'm going to get the truth of this political dictation. I’m going to read and study every bill passed and I'm going to read both sides of the question and I'm going. 'to listen to both side* of every radio discussion.’” That was two years ago. Ever since that day I have read every important bill that was passed and analyzed it. Every day of my life I read the articles of ten political commentators, seven of them Republican, three Democrat. If I see in the papers that Landon or Hamilton is to speak on the radio. I I make it a point to hear them. Likewise with Roosevelt or Farley, i I think it is only fair to hear and readboth sides of the question. I i believe, however, the real decisive factor, the really important thing, is to read aud-study the bills that were passed. 1 really believe. I de- • elded to cast my lot with Roosevelt because I felt he had passed more bills for the common people than Harding, Coolidge and Hoover put together. I don’t know of a single bill he passed that wasn’t for the many instead of the few. The NRA. AAA, TVA, the Guffey coal act. Bank Deposit act. Holding Company act. Social Security act . . . every; single one is for the masses instead of the classes. Reading and studying bills as I have done. 1 was quick to see that the Republican press misrepresented facts about these bills. Repub- ' lican papers trick phrases such as "Death Sentence" in the Holding i Company Act and played upon those phrases. Never once did a Republican paper show specifically why it was against this act. Never i once did they way it was really to eliminate unnecessary holding companies that were preying upon both consumer and stockholder. They • let the public believe the bill would eliminate all legitimate holding ■ companies, which was absolutely untrue . . . and decidedly unfair to the p<x>p!e at large. The very same thing applied to the TVA. the AAA. and all other acts. Never have I seen a Republican paper say that the TVA’ was anything other than a power project conceived to put the public utilities out of business, when every Republican paper knows full well that the TVA is also a military project and an agricultural project. The Republican press has been so unfair to the public ny misleading it. it hqs caused me to change my political party . That, plus the fact 1 feel that I shonld vole for the man who has been trying to help all the people. 1 came tt> this decision, not in a day, nor in a mouth, but after two years of investigating and analyzing the situation tronrtll angles. No one who had read both sides of the question as I have could possibly vole against Fraukliu D. Roosevelt.. —Walter 8. Cahill.
