A large delegation from here will, go to Berne next Thursday evening to attend the Craford meeting. Join thgm and have a good time. I Harry W. Woodring, secretary of war, will speak here Saturday night. The parade and the address will attract thousands and you are Invited to join them. George Gallup, director of the American Institute of Public Opinion, has concluded a careful sur vey of Michigan and predicts that Roosevelt will carry the state in a close fight. Mr, Hoover is to speak in Philadelphia and by reason of that several prognosticators are putting the electoral vote in the Roosevelt column. Its something when the G. O. P. has to send its leading talent to states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and California. The Brady gang, supposed to be another Dillinger outfit, are said to be hiding out between here and Celina, so if you see three or four tough young fellows hanging around looking like they would like to shoot somebody, it might be well to call the sheriff or police. I — 1 As governor of Kansas, Mr. Woodring, former governor, knows Mr. Landon, knows his capabilities and his record. As secretary of war, he is also familiar with affairs ip Washington. His address here Saturday evening should be of interest to many thousand voters. It won't be long now until we kjtow just who was right and who I was wrong in guessing on the election. In the meantime the efforts of every one interested should be to see that the vote is out. If that happens, no one can complain of the results, for then a majority will have spoken. These are busy days for those who are organizing for election day and your assistance will of course be appreciated. The Mg job after ail is to get the vote out and you can render much help if you will give a little time to it. Go to lieadquarters and learn where and hew you can do the most good. Mrs. Wallis Simpson is having quite a fling over in England. She seems to have captivated King Edward and the affair has reached the point where the husband will not oppose the divorce suit filed by his wife. It's a rather funny romance but one that will bring forth a story ttneqttaled in fiction aud will in the next few months provide many columns of news featsres. President Roosevelt says ha knows how sick business was four years ago. Hundreds of business men went to Washington and begged for help. They didn’t think it

i was a dangerous bureaucracy." but rather an emergency hospital. They naked for treatment and were given it aud they got better. Some ot them are to well now that they ' are "throwing their crutches at the ! doctor.” It is never pleasant taxes aud 1 that goes for gross income or any other kind, but it is well to remember that doing this is a part of the battle against the worst depression the state and nation ever faced. Money had to be raised aud a tax i law that would do that quickly and j certainly was necessary. It did the job and Indiana leads the Union. , So that's something, for we got* i returns for the money spent. i.n Frank Thompson. Democratic : candidate for joint representative, I has served the past four years in that capacity and has made a good ! record. As leader of the majority in the last session, he handled a difficult job in a manner to attract the attention of every one who ' knows what it means to keep the ball rolling and save the good while discarding the bad legislai tion. He is dean, honest and capI able. , Mrs. Olive Belden Lewis pleas- • ed the large audience that listened to her at the Woman's Demo- 1 cratic club banquet last evening and gave them many thoughts that should make them work harder to win on election day. A talented, woman, one of the best posted in the state on public affairs. Mrs. I I Lewis has done much for her party the past several years. She has been active and effective and won i many new friends here last evening. 4 The Roosevelt rally in Chicago i was the largest ever held there by any one and the president made the greatest speech of his campaign. He called attention of the men of the middle west to great improvement since his visit to the "Windy City” four years ago aud said the government claimed some of the credit. Hundreds of thousands watched the parade in which it is said : 150.000 participated and the stadium was jammed to a capacity of more than 30,000. His tour of the middle west has been a triumphal : one and it is believed has put him , I far in the lead in his race for re- , election. It is needed only to recall a few i of the events —the banking paralysis, the food riots in the cities, the organized defiance of the courts in the agricultural regions, the use of the army against the veterans in the nation's capital, the hunger i and Uie desperation—to picture | what might have happened had the' ship of state then been turned over to a muscle-bound tradition-i (minded and near sighted pilot. Thank God we didn't get one, but instead one who could keep his head when all about were losing | theirs, who could remain calm-eyed while the panic reigned, who could be different, who would experiment, who could sense the full size of the peril and take such chances as were necessary to the rescue. Lest it be thought that we , I are swept away with hero worship. I I let us record right now that we think this man's list of shortcomings high in ratio to the very size of his genius. That is always true , with the really great. We have criticized him much, and will much [“more: but what we are trying to I deal with is the "net," the batting I! average, of the man. And that is higher in our opinion, than that of J any othetr public figure of our I time. When all the petty stuff which boils to the surface of atty political campaign—when that is gone and forgotten, when 1940 shall have come aud departed and i a few decades have been super-im-i- posed, we predict, that they'll be 3 looking for a spot somewhere with- . in view of the Potomac to build t: something grand to commemorate

CLIFF TOWNSEND — BACK HOME (The Hartford City News) No one withili the sound of his voice could help but thrill to the home-spun way in which Cliff Townsend voiced his satisfaction at toeing "back home,” in his address on the court house lawn Monday afternoon. And the folks “back home" were glad to have him back. Clift has risen high since leaving Blackford county, but he never has and never will forget this spot in Hoosierdom, the scene of bis birth aud the birth of his father and mother —where his forebear?, pioneers of the times, settled and battled to wrest this wild country from a wilderness to a rich farming community. As Lon Burns, the Democratic candidate for judge, aptly expressed it in introducing Cliff Momlay afternoon, folks in Blackford county are forgetting partisan lines to help make Cliff Indiana's next governor. Mr. Burns pointed out the county will soon be 10U years old —aud what higher honor could come to the county on the observance of its cen-j tennial than to have one of its most illustrious native sons governor of this great state. Cliff was the same Cliff Monday, that he always has been. The honors that have come to him in the passing years have not changed that sincere, straight-forward way of his. His smile is as infectious as it was in his youth. The years, and the experience which have come. with them, have added a dignity and sureness to his character which assures Indiana an honest and able administration if he is sent to the governor's office by the people of this state November 3. His twenty years of public service have not embittered him, as it has many—nor made him cynical. He still loves people—loves to talk with them, mingle with them—just as he alway has. He has never j lost the common touch. Cliff is essentially a "man's man.” A great lover ol hunting and fishing aud of (he out-of-doors—yet his kindly, considerate nature has endeared him to men and women, beys and girls, who have had the pleasure of knowing him. His true friendliness comes from the heart, not from the surface—and those who meet him instantly realize it. it is something which cannot be disguised. Small wonder then that the folks "back home" who knew him so well as a boy, aud as a young man fairly idealize this home town boy who made good. And what a tribute it is to him that he is held in such esteem by the folks who knew him—way back when. For so often just the reverse is true. Yes, Cliff, this little county o< Blackford—scene of your boyhood days; of your marriage; of the birth of your three tine children; of those struggling days in your young manhood and fatherhood — this little county which doesn't rank high in population, but does rank high in loyalty is with you all the way in your campaign for the governor- ' ship. In your heart of hearts. Cliff, we want you to know that the folks back home are always with you. In triumph or defeat, in joy or in sorrow —we are proud of you, foud of you, aud—most of all —believe in you.
