It looks like a big swing to • Roosevelt and there are those who 1 believe he will win by a larger majority than lour years ago. Odds are now two and a half to one on Roosevelt in Wall st.-et and threi to one with Lloyds of London. And they never play td ' lose. The campaign will be over in , two weeks and the b:s job will tome on November 3rd. in getting the voters to the polls Organ- . ize for that for many an election . has been won on the day of votUse beet sugar and ask for that made by the Central Sugar Company of Decatur. That's just good ■ ommon sense tot your dollars thus spent go to help the company which is providing labor and a market. And by the way, its the best sugar on the market. Senator Borah is wise He refuses, even to aid his own cause, to attack tlie New Deal. He voted for most of the measures because he thought he wap right and he will not now call President Roosevelt names for his efforts to lift the nation out of the depressi ion. The straw votes ar< turning to 1 Roosevelt now and there are thos< who believe that the earlv returns were arranged to give Landon a lead, hoping it would disconcert the Democrats. However they kept right on with the light that they felt was right and now the boys just have to get on the wagon or look foolish. Boys are warned that destruction of property is never legal and ' that is certainly true now. Those 1 who think that because the Hal 1 low’een season is near, they can do 1 what they please, should advise ; with mom and dad and follow their instructions, which will prob- 1 ably be to not do any pranks until ‘ Halloween and then don't destroy ' property. — How easy it is to drop from the i spot Tight. Former President Her- 1 bert Hoover made a speech in * Philadelphia the other night, it t was widely and extensively advertised to lie one of the peaks of the ' Republican campaign, yet less than two thousand people turned out to * hear him and they did not enthuse ' much. He will probably wind his * way silently back to Palo Alto. 1 i The next big event on Hie Ad- • ams county Democratic program is < the Ctawford meeting at Berne < Thursday evening. It will be im 1 portant because of Mr. Crawford's position as secretary to Governor < McNutt and his past experience as speaker of* the house, member of ’ the state highway commission and

otherwise active In Indiana affairs You are cordially invited to heat tilts excellent gentleman and tint . citizen, Another fallacy to the G. () P figures, put out to scare local tux payers. is u fact which every Am erlian should instantly recognize especially those who have been t ailing tlie Constitution these past tew years, and that is this The Federal government does not and cannot levy taxes on farms, homes and real estate within any state Therefore, all this talk about local taxpayers being forced to pay the costs of the Hoover panic on their ' tax bills .it the courthouse is pure I fiction. According to Republican propa gauds, Indiana people will be- forced to pay $336 "im.otm because Mr Roosevelt has been feeding the : hungry, giving jobs to the unetn ployed, lending money to farmers and home-owners, and helping bus mess and industry with loans that banks would not give them. Now in the first place, about two-thirds of the money spent by Mr. Roosevelt to pull America out of the Hoover panic has been in the form of loans on good farms, real • state and businesses w-hich are repaying their loans with profit to the Federal government. David Lawrence could, if he cared to do so. dig up a much betlfi way employes, which was used to finance- the Republican campaign. Os course Mr. Lawi.i.ce wouldn't be inte rest, d in that. By the way the learned corn -.pondent admits tiiiii he will currv .irgt* < Hit's I rural vot- to elect Governor Lanatives, estimates that the- ordinary family in a yeai will not pay* more than s.’> or $6 of so-called "hidden federal taxes on foods. There are farm lauds. The federal government is largely financed by income taxes which exempt the man with low income, which do not even touch the wages of the laborer and which rarely are paid by the farmer and never unless he has a fat net income- in the neighborhood of f j.'Um or .?6."o<> a year. Tlie B» me Witness and othei Republican papers art trying to frighten the farmer by proclaim j ing that Adams county's share of the national debt is two million dollars. It s another case of throw ing mud in the voters eyes Everyone knows that no general tax h-vy can be made against property by til.- government. Every oin knows too that the greater part of th'- national debt is loans made to farmers, railroads, banks, insurance companies and business and must be paid back. One of the old schemes ofthe G. O. I'. is to use a fear argument on jobs, business, tuxes or something that they think will make votes. Don't ever be-1 lieve that the crowd which is lending financial support to the Republican party will ever give much time to saving you a dollar on taxes. It's the bunk. MR. WOODRING HERE: •'President Roosevelt wilt bi re-, elected by a large plurality atid will carry Kansas by more than 30,000 and will sweep all the middle west states." declared Harry H Woodring, secretary of war. who appeared here Saturday night at a Democratic rally that brought cheers from thousands along tin line of parade and in the Catholic auditorium, where the meeting was conducted.
