Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dallies. The campaign may have been a [ little slow up to now but from now on In, there will be plenty doing. We love Franklin D. Roosevelt for the enemies he has made, is the slogan that is becoming more popular as the barons line up. If you expect to be absent on election day you should make application for an absent voters ballot so you can register your choice just the same. Hop in your car and join the caravan to Bluffton this evening for the Cliff Townsend AdamsWells counties rally. You will have a good time. If you want to enjoy yourself and learn what the campaign is all about, tune in tonight and hear President Roosevelt in his Omaha speech. You can trust him. A straw vote taken in New York City by the News shows that eighty-nine out of every hundred voters will cast their ballots for Roosevelt. Page the Literary Digest. All the candidates on the Union ticket in New York state resigned a few hours before the deadline and now the followers of that rainbow have only until Monday to get their petition in. i, You will have the opportunity of hearing Harry H. Woodring, a member, of President Roosevelt's cabinet here next Saturday eves ning. He is a former governor of ; Kansas and knows whereof he 1 speaks. 1 Senator Borah cannot support Governor Landon for the presi- ’ deucy. That means something for ' Borah is a candidate for re election to the senate on the Republican ' ticket and has for a third of a cen-j 1 tury been a leader of the G. O. P. ! A week from tonight will be oiff 1 of the high spots in Democratic polities in this country. A parade, plenty of fed lire, a speech by the distinguished Secretary of War. Harry H. Wooariug. an old fashioned political rally. Plan to be here. After all is said and done, after all the battles, political and otherwise, the world will not get back to normal conditions nor really progress, until the people again return to the sincere worship of God. No nation has long survived after turning their backs on the Christian religion. Tomorrow is 1 Sunday and a good time to stati. James M. Cox. former governor of Ohio and the Democratic candidate for president in 1920, spoke last evening from Dayton and urged the re-election of Franklin Roosevelt. His argument was con vincing and interesting for Mr. Cox is one of the leading business men of America and is perhaps as well posted in economics as any citizen of the country.

The first of a series ot township I political meetings to be announced by the Democrats Is that at the I Jacobs school house in Blue Creek j 1 township on the evening of the 14th. Local speakers will discuss the important problems of the day and the voters will be given the: opportunity to get the desired in-j formation as to those issues which I mean much to the farmer. Better come along to Bluffton this afternoon or evening. The big delegation will leave here at ■1:45. headed by the band. Those who do not get in on this or who do not wish to eat supper at Bluffton may go later and hear the address of M. Clifford Townsend at i 7:45. The speaking program is 1 free of course. Enjoy yourself and hear Governor Townsend's message first hand. Alex Pursley, chairman of the fifth district was here today and told us of the Townsend meeting at Connersville, Thursday night. Fifteen thousand people jammed the streets and yelled for him. Thousands stood on the streets, unable to gain entrance to the hall but anxious to hear the message of the next governor of Indiana And that's Mr. Springer's home town. The Right Reverend John A. I Ryan, of Catholic University. > Washington, D. C., is answering Rev. Coughlin in about the broad est and most forceful manner, that has been used so far as we have | heard. Addressing an appeal for' the re-election of President Roose 1 velt. via the radio, he said: "I implore you not to abandon your tried and competent champions in public life.” "I would like to know what the ' people of Connersville think about the Springer sales tax scheme and , about the Springer proposals to cut teachers' salaries SSOO a year ‘ and to walk out on the old-age pensioners. Maybe someone here has, heard the Republican nominee say specifically how he is going to re-| dine the cost of government $lB.000,000 a year or handle the deficit 1 of that size if he fails to carry out , his promises.” — From speech by > M. Clifford Townsend. Raymond Fortune, 26-year-old • j Marion young man. has been sen- ' tenced to death in the electric, ‘ chair by Judge Kenner of Hunt- j ington. Fortune's racket was to 1 walk in on a bridge or poker party, ’ level his gun aud scoop up the . stakes. He did that at Fort Wayne 1 last spring and in the fracas which , followed shot and killed a man < named Dokken, one of the guests. 1 The sooner men realize that such f crimes are serious and that the cost is high, the better it will be. 1 ■ I Under the Indiana law when a man , is convicted of murder while com- I mining a robbery with a gun in ' < play, the penalty is death and , nothing less. That ought to help 1 stop the wave. Liberty Leaguers and others i have coined the cry: “A flood of 1 imports is ruining the American , farmer." Republican leaders with , a bankrupt farm record, have seiz- ■ ed the slogan. No political party;, in our time has stood on thinner i ice. You would think they'd try to forget 1932, not brag about it. In' 1930, a Republican administration gave you the Smoot-Hawley tariff. In 1932 it gave you 12-cent corn with a tariff of 25 cents and 25-cent wheat with a tariff of 42 cents. That was the year of 3cent hogs, 3-cent cattle and 5-cenl cotton. Do you remember it?; Competing farm imports in 1932 hit the lowest point in more than 25 years. If exclusion of imptorts* is the cure, why were farmers not; prosperous then? o Rail Library Widely Used Washington —(UP)—The largest i library on railroad subjects in the world is located here and is maimtained iby the Association of Ameri-. can Railroads.

DISPELLING THE FOG By Charles Michelson Director of Publicity, Democratic National Committee

As the campaign draws to a close, we may look tor some last minute utterance from the Republican. or du Pont Liberty League, side of the political fence. Such a development occurs when a party sees defeat in sight. The' idea is to throw it out when there ; will not be time to answer it or, prove its falseness, with the hope I that the voters will go to the polls! with the enormity of the fabrics-1 tion in their minds. In this particular campaign it I may take the form of some alleg-1 ed statement from the President that he never made; some canard about his health or merely an an-; nounceuient that a key state has I turned decisevely against him. More probable, because of certain precedents of similar form, it may he published as a press cable from \ abroad—instructions from the Soviet country, for example, indicating an understanding with or ap-| proval of President Roosevelt. Such a message was published byl the Chicago Tribune a short time ago—naturally no other newspaper had it. The Chicago Times, after trying in vain to find any substantiation of it, posted a reward of >5.000 for proof of the validity of the message, but none was even offered, and the reward still stands. Apparently there is no way of preventing this sort of thing, it will be remembered, to illustrate, that a few years ago one group of I papers published a charge that the I Mexican Government had bribed; or sought to bribe four United States Senators, and backed the story up with facsimilar of cipher messages to which were attached the translations, it developed that they were all clumsy forgeries, but nothing much happened. I do not think the newspapers even troubled to apologize for the publication. More recently, one ot the prospective Presidential electors in New York was accused of being a Communist, aud thereby it was sought to show that the President leaned that way, despite his direct statements that he repudiated Communism and wanted no votes from individuals or groups who got their political orders from an-ti-American sources. In vain even those employers who had tilted with the prospective elector in labi or struggles publicly declared that so far from being one of the ysndicalist group, he had actually purged the unions with which he was affiliated of the Communists, ! and driven those left w ingers out of his organization. Vp to date, no hostile newspaper that printed the .original invention has corrected it, and the episode still figures in the lesser speeches and editorials on I the Republican side., Nor are those ot greater political double-dealing. Take their Vice Presidential candidate. For the i sake of those who may have forgotten who the aspirant is. let me remind them that his name is ■ Frank Knox. He is a Chicago pub--1 Usher. He aud Republican National Chairman Hamilton continue to tell the people that their savings

.bank deposits and their insurance policies are unsafe. When the savings banks produce their unparalled sheets of assets, aud insurance companies show they' are stronger and richer than everi before in their history, the reply' lis made that Col. Knox had refer-] fence to the diminished value ofj I the dollar, and the Imminence of | !inflation. Diminution in the value, i oi a currency can only be told in . ; relation to the currency of other I nations, and inflation is a contra ] I diction in terms when the money i of a country maintains its worth, in the markets of the world. The] i American dollar is today the most stable unit of value on the glome, and nothing is in sight, or likely ■ to come over the horizon, to change , that state of affairs. Then there is the twin scare ' i crow of an unbalanced budget, and ■ the unbearable interest debt that l i would burden our children and our children's children. The cost of l carrying the national debt for the five years—l92o to 1924 —was a- , bout a billion dollars a year. The ] . cost of the present debt, thanks to the excellence of the Government's credit, is more than 150 millions less. The President says, basing his, statement on Treasury figures, that the budget will be balanced in a year or two. His critics, how-] over, refuse to accept Treasury | figures except w here they jibe I with their own ideas. Now comes ; Moody’s, the most conservative, j matter of fact non-Governmental I authority we have, and solemnly i tells us that if the 1937 calendar year is as good in a business way as 1936 has been, the budget would be balanced. The explanation is that the estimate for 1937 indicat ] es an increase in the Government's income of a billion and a, half and a billion decrease in its expenditures. Incidentally—and this ,s perhaps the most entertaining of all the campaign absurdities — they are finding fault because the interest yield on Government bonds is down one pbint below what the Government had to pay in the Hoover period. This is probably the first time in our history, if not in any history that a government was criticized for getting its money as cheaply

'as possible. It hardly goes along , with their moaning about high , taxes, for the Treasury's only way of paying this interest is out of what it collects in taxes, hence, the higher the interest on Government bonds, the higher the taxes to pay the charge. This is rather heavy stuff but it is right in line with the rest of the | terroristic campaign waged as the last forlorn hope of the minority I party. They are telling you that ( | if President Roosevelt is reelected ! the country must go to the dogs; that dictatorship is in the offing, with Communism just a little be- ; yond. That economic ruin is just around their favorite corner, and •hat i rybody will be crushed 1 l>y the weight of taxes. But it Gov ernor Landon is elected, the Government will pay higher Interest and taxes will go down; that the ; farmer will get more than he is getting now. but that the cost of living—which means buying what : the farmer sells —will be reduced. 1 They might add that instead of floods and drouths, we will have gentle rains wherever they are required. and that golfers and Sun day picknickers will not have to worry about the weather, because they so arrange it that rains will I come only on week days and at night where people are engaged in out door pursuits. The stable dollar will be still more stable if Gov- ■ ernor Landon has the opportunity of doing something, the character! of which he has not yet made up his mind about. Moreover, all laws , that anybody does not like will be repealed, including doubtless the law that two and two make four, which conceivably might be annoying at times. ° Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to the Test Questions printed on Page Two ♦ -• 1.
