The sooner they chase the com- • munists out of Terre Haute, thei better it will be for every one. They should have no place in Am- ’ ericaa affairs. The average price of all food products to the consumer was twenty-one per cent lower in July than in the same month in 1930, | which answers those who say otherwise. Call at Democratic headquarters and make it your loafing place. You can help in various ways by your presence and by doing a little real work towards a victory in November. If Mr. Landis had just thought, of it, he could have transferred yesterdays world series game,, which was postponed on account of wet weather, from the Polo' grounds here and had a perfect day. Carl Hubbell kept up his repu-|, tation as one of the really great baseball twirlers by holding the , Yankees to seven scattered hits and winning his game, first of the world series, six to one and did it . through a six inning rain. Tell the public why you will vote; for Cliff Townsend and Franklin j D. Roosevelt by writin.' a letter ; to this office. Your name will not I ( be used if you do not desire it. Please tell us whether you do or not but be sure to sign your name to the communication. Madrid is prepared for a six months seige which regardless o." the outcome will certainly not help any. Over in this country where peace reigns, we scarcely realize tile horror through which the peo-1 pie of Spain and other foreign nations are passing. Even the big utility men arc now convinced that President Roosevelt's program is the right one and are publicly saying so. It takes a little time for the average person to understand all the things that are being done to lift us from the depression, but gradually they get it. Our government is based on the belief that a people can be both strong and free, that civilized men need no restraint but that impos ed by themselves against abuse of freedom. President Roosevelt.! Win, lose or draw, you may feel proud to support a man of such ideals. Cliff Townsend says he will pay 3600 of each teacher's salary if he, is elected governor and he means that. He will keep the schools going and without a heavy property tax. Every one interested in the schools and every teacher in the state should be in hearty accord with that platform. The New York Times, an independent Democratic paper which

has not agreed with all of the Roosevelt policies announces support of the president for another term and in a two column front! page editorial gives the reasons, which should and will appeal to thousands of eastern Democrats, j Senator T. A. Gottschalk will be , in charge of the Democratic meet- j itig at Berne the evening of Octo-1 iter 22nd, when Hon. Earl Crawj ford, secretary to Governor Me-, Nutt, former speaker of the house and for years a leader oT“ Hoosier, democracy, will be the speaker.. Plans for the event will be an- ! nounced soon. = Are you properly registered? If you have moved, changed your I name or otherwise disqualified yourself, if you did not vote two years ago, you should see that your name is properly recorded on : the books at the county clerk's of- [ fice and Monday is the very last ; day you can do that in time to vote November 3rd. — Figure it out for yourself. Are ' , you doing better than you did four years ago? Have you a better I job? Are you making more money and are you happier? The change | would not have come unless Presii ident Roosevelt and Governor Me ■ Nutt had actually done things. Support those who would help you ' now—Roosevelt and Townsend. The actual sworn circulation of the Daily Democrat for the past [ six months is an average of 3,282. which does not include the Cen- , tennial special edition. It includes the families which trade in De catur from a radius of fifteen to j twenty miles and a message to : these splendid people is sure to. I bring you results.. Try it, Mr. i Merchant, and be convinced. President Roosevelt is a great i leader and when he speaks the . nation listens for they know they will hear a worth while appeal. l 1 He has done a great work the past three years, pulling us from the 1 slough of depression to firm prosperity, which is getting firmer 1 each day. If you are inclined to listen to those who would direct your attention otherwise, you are ' 1 acting against your own best interests. , If you are a Republican you can have any kind of an argument you ,' like. If you are consesvative. list- ( en to Mr. Knox in the east. If you prefer liberal or progressive ideas, tune in on Mr. Landon in the west ' How they can give more and do more without cost to any oils 1 , i hasn t been explained nor won't 11 be. On the contrary, as Mr. Roose- • velt says, they are not against the ; way the thing is being done, they;' are against the thing. A man who has been traveling' over Adams county this week on business has taken a poll of those*, he contacted. Yesterday he interviewed 28 farmers and found that all of them will vote for Roosevelt.. I Os these twenty-five said they were Democrats and three were Repub- 1 licans, one of them a former Re-' publican central committeeman., Chief reason, he found, for voting' ' for Roosevelt and Townsend, is the ' increase in the prices of farm products. How can a farmer do any thing else after ten or twelve years of depression aud despair? “The Roosevelt administration ( ■ went into office pledged to a course that would 4ead us out of the miseries of depression. lam sure that l everybody must agree that the ad ministration would have been re-' i creant to its first obligation if it had delayed, while people were goi iug hungry, while industrial and ! commercial chaos advanced into further confusion, while banks toppled and the whole fabric of civilization continued its downward spiral. It was better to make mistakes and remedy them when the error was discovered. In the circumstances that existed, it was. even better to go ahead under acts I

THE AVERAGE MAN IS BETTER OFF

William E. Clow, Jr., head ot James B. Clow & Sons, Chicago manufacturer*. has Issued a pamphlet entitled: “A Business Man's Personal Views of tho Roosevelt Administration," in which he declares that President Roosevelt's record entitles him to an overwhelming re-election. Speaking as a business man ot long experience, he says that failure of the country to re-elect Mr. Roosevelt "would be a crying act ot ingratitude to a man who has given his all In a desperate situs tion to help the country in every conceivable way and who has sue ceeded so magnificently.” “Let's forget all arguments." he writes, "as to whether we should have gone off the gold-standard—-as to whether the Government should have put on a relief program or not — as to whether aid should have been given to our agri cultural population — as to whether the principles of NRA. such as maximum hours, minimum wages, no child labor, collective bargaining. etc., were good or bad and just ask one question aud be honest a bout iL “Is or is not the average man

considerably better off today than ! he was on March 4, 1938? In other ! words, the average man has a i! somewhat increased living expense. : slightly higher taxes and has as suiued his small portion of the na I tional debt, hut over agaiust this he has his wage, the value of any property he may own. returns he '! may be receiving from any invest- ! ment, ail increased more Hum pro-: j port innately. So that the net result i is that the average man is better off today than he was on March : 4, 1933. I "The real auawer is that nine ' out of ten people ate considerably I better off tbau they were and. re guidless of their political persua I sion. they cannot deny it. "Because, in the last analysis, the real Job of a President is to do all possible to make the average citizen better off at the end of his term of office than he was at the beginning. And no one can doubt that . • the Roosevelt administration, ussis- , i ted, of course, by the economic forces of the country, has accornp- ! lished just exactly this. I “Certainly, in modern times, no i administration has tackled such a 1 joh or accomplished so much.”

■ which resulted in the capture of Toledo, the insurgents halted, following out the policy which they ■ have pursued all during the war. ■ that of not driving ahead too fast. At Toledo, the rebels still held . their positions about six miles toward the capita lon the ToledoMadrid highway, around Otas. 34 miles from Madrid. They were many miles from Illecas. the next important town on the highway. Slightly to the south, another > column was prepared to advance along the Tagus river toward Aranjuez, the railroad junction, which would put them in a position to

’sever Madrid's communication with I I the east coast. A third rebel concentration was centered iu the north, roughtly around the Muqueda region, aimed at the main highway which runs iiortheustward to Madrid through Navaicarnero. Trade In a Good Town — Decatur
