Ninety per cent of the laboring men and women of America are for Roosevelt and the other ten would like to be. They realize ’ they have a sincere leader and a great one who sees far ahead and acts. Autumn is at hand and the coloring was never more beautiful., Take a drive out in the country and get a glimpse of nature that i will make you feel thankful you live in such a wonderful part of, the country. A visitors here last evening be-! came enthusiastic and offered to bet any amount - up to a thousand dollars at from two to one to five ! to one. that Roosevelt would be re-elected and couldn’t find takers. I Take that for whatever its worth. The Republicans now admit that times are better and that the depression has been pretty well whipped but they argue they can run it now, that we are over the humps, better than those who pulled it through. Don't let them 'kid" you. A load of corn this year means' something to the farmer that raised it and he doesn't have to pay it i all out for taxes. Four years ago it was the reverse. You got nothing for your produce and taxes were high. Isn't that after afi the important issue this year? Tickets are to be sold this week for the meeting of the Woman s Democratic club at the Masonic club rooms on the evening of the 15th. Mrs. Olive Belden Lewis., one of the most interesting speakers in Indiana, will be one the program and you will enjoy ft if you attend. Adams county Democrats, 500 strong, headed by the high school band, will march on Bluffton Saturday evening, when M. Clifford Towpsend. candidate for governor 1 will speak to the voters of Adams and Wells counties- You are invited to join the crowd. Call chairman N. C. Nelson for further particulars. Numerous papers which started a straw vote and kept it going as long as the early returns favored CHANGE OF ADDRESS Subscribers are requested to give old and new address when ordering paper changed from one address to another. For example: If you change your address from Decatur R. R. 1 to Decatur R. R. 2, instruct us to change the paper from route one to route two. When changing address to another town, always give present address and new address.

Mr. Landon, have now dropped i them and are arguing that straw votes are uot dependable. The ' reason of course Is that the trend the past ten days has been undisputedly for Roosevelt and will so t! continue. Eddie Dowling, well known auth- ,! or and producer and who had much • to do with Al Smith's success tells in an interesting article recently I'published, how Al got off the res- ' er vat ion and why. ITe says its impossible for a fellow who has an i! office 111 floors up to keep his thoughts down with the boys on the fish market. i Clifford Townsend is a sound thinker, careful in bis actions. i I honest and dependable. He is just I the type of man the people of IndiI ana needs and as governor he will i act wisely and to your constant benefit. You can reason with him and he will do every thing he can i for the folks of Indiana. He has had experience and is able. Governor McNutt will speak at J the Shrine at Fort Wayne on the i , night of the 17th at a big rally i which we are sorry has been plan- j ned for the same night on which i ! Decatur will have as a guest Hon. j Harry H. Woodring, secretary of! war and for which event a rally is j being planned. However there are| . no doubt plenty of interested vot- [ ers to make both meetings success j lul. Three young men ha ve pleaded [ guilty to the serious crime of i , "sticking up" two filling stations iat Berne. Two of these men, ; scarcely out of their teens admit | automobile banditry while the oth [er one, who remained in the car. j lis charged with grand larceny. These are crimes which cannot be I condoned or passed over lightly. The boys have written a chapter ! in their lives which will continue! ’ through many years and which can | only be obliterated by living better! ■ lives after they have paid the debt I they owe society. ... —’ The General Electric will build ' a 45x120 addition to their plant here to be used as a recreation or ! club room, it is announced, further i evidence of progress in Decatur!! and that we are headed for a real ' era of prosperity. In addition a wage increase is announced and j all in all there are reasons for the! smiles of G. E. employes and every one else here. The recreation room has long been a dream of employes and employers and this one is to be a model one, complete with j i bowling alleys and other amuse-' ments, furnished and ready for the business of making the men and women there employed happy and contented. I A RECORD OF . ACHIEVEMENT: Cong. James 1. Farley told Democrats of Jefferson. Jackson, Madi-I son and Monroe townships: "Prices j for your products, and hence your compensation, have gone up. You are coming back into your own. paying your debts and your back ‘ taxes. You are getting ahead again! for the first time in years. "These are the concrete achieve- j ments of President Franklin D. ( 1 Roosevelt and the New Deal. “I don't mind telling you that 1 think the Democrats have saved! this nation from a terrible calam, ity.” With his usual modesty, Cong. Farley did not give himself the credit that is due him for his own important part in supporting the recovery measures of the President. But the people of the Fourth! congressional district give him that credit, in James I. Farley. 1 they recognize a friend and neighbor who has kept the faith with them and who has helped bring this nation back to prosperity. A million homes saved. Half a| million farms saved. Seven mil-! lion unemployed now back at work in private industry. National iu-j

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7. 1936,

'j REI’l BI.ICAXS ARE WASTING MORE .MONEY THAN DEMOCRATS: The Republiean Party's biggest wail of woe lias been the Adminis- , (ration's waste in relief. Right now the Republican Party aud Big ■ j Business is spending more money on propaganda than the Adminis- | nation is to feed the poor and needy. It is my earnest conviction the i Republican Party will spend over a billion dollars on billboards, news- ! paper ads. direct mail advertising anu a thousand different gadgets. I Big Business will spend another half billion in various underhand ways [of fomenting public disbelief in the ability of the Democratic Party. , The Republican press has easily spent a billion dollars in the past two ! years in newsprint, viciously attacking the only humanitarian presi- [ .ident we've had in the past twenty-five years. For the past year the ' big business-man and the banker and the Republican politician has ! II cried from the housetops: "Anybody could win au election with four [ i | billion dollars spent for relief." If this be true 1 ask the simple ques- ,| lion: "Isn't it better to spend four billion helping the poor than it. is I to spend four billion to help defeat the man who is helping the poor?" • , Surely you can't use money to better advantage. The four billion the Democrats are spending will help feed, clothe aud shelter five or six million persons. The four billion the Republicans are spending will I help possibly five or six thousand big businessmen to regain control of the country so that in another decade we will again have five thousand millionaires and twelve million unemployed. , If the gentlemen who are spending the four billion as propaganda would distribute that money in jobs, the United States Government [ would have no relief problems ... no unemployment. An advertising manager of one big firm summed it up very well when he said to me: "I think Mr. would do a whole lot more I good if he gave the million dollars he is donating to the Republican ! Party to his employees who helped him make his millions." —By Walter S. Cahall.
