Charter Member of The Indiana League of Home Dailies. You will enjoy the Roosevelt ’ caravan when it tours Adatns county next Monday. Don't fail, to attend one of the meetings. Join the crowd to Berne Thursday evening. A good time and a speech by Hon. Earl Crawford. > secretary to Governor McNutt. Clarence E. Thomas, who murdered Harry Zumbrun. proprietor of a filling station near Churubusco' last July was electrocuted yesterday at Michigan City. Crime doesn’t pay. If you expect to be away from: your home on election day, you, cun by applying as the county, clerk's office, cast au absent voter* ballot. Better attend to the job before you forget it. Now go to Berne Thursday eve-I ning and hear Earl Crawford on state issues. The Democratic posi- j tion is right and is best for every one, laborer, farmer, merchant,, mannfacturer and retired citizen, f Its the election day organization that counts and those men andj women who are in earnest about ; desiring the election of Roosevelt < and Townsend, should assist in' plans to get the vote out. If we do that, the result will be satis- ■ factory. Just as was expected by many,! the speech by former President, Herbert Hoover aided Roosevelt. Reports are that lowa. Kansas and I Nebraskan farmers who were on the fence, are now definitely- off and will vote and work for the president’s re-election. With a strong county ticket.! with James I. Farley for congress with Cliff Townsend lor governor' and Franklin D. Roosevelt for president. its no wonder the elec-1 tion is going to be about unanimous. See that the vote is out 1 and a great victory is won. • Mr. Woodring says his friend. Governor Landon of Kansas, who until he became a prospective can-, didate for president, was an en- 1 thusiastic booster for New Deal i measures and the Roosevelt program now offers "a second hand new deal at second hand prices.” ’ If the G. O. P. is actually expecting a big turnover in the rural districts to offset their losses in' the cities, they are in for the worst beating in their history. The vote . in this county will lie as strong as four years ago, if polls made recently are dependable and we feel confident they are. The Duponts, manufacturers of, war munitions, are largest doual- ' ors to |.he fund to elect Governor 1 Landon. The world is preparing for war. Roosevelt is for peace I and will do every thing in his power Io avoid any participation by this nation in another conflict. Make your own deductions. After all its not a matter us thia class or that one. What helps the

farmer, helps the merchant, what i helps the laborer helps the nation, what helps these make* the factory Wheels go round. The thing la to keep the upward swing going and the vole will show that every j I I class recognizes that fact. ' DON'T CHANGE HORSES IN ' THE MIDDLE OF THE STREAM” ; was Mr. Lincoln's slogan for his' second term. We were at war' , then but remember that the re-' i cent depression was almost as ser- ' ious as was the Civil war. It' would be a serious mistake to change the administration now. The county candidates will aci company the Roosevelt car over, the county on the 26th. opening at 1 Geneva in the morning and closJ ing here about five in the after-; I noun, with special speakers and j good music. Be sure to plan to! see this car and hear the program at Monroe, Berne, Geneva or Decatur. j Vice President Garner in a' ' speech that went home to millions: Saturday night, declared that the j finest thing that can happen to | this nation is to have Franklin D. Roosevelt continue his management another four years. He will during that time establish a democracy that will be the greatest ever; known uny where. Even Liberty Magazine, wMch , lias fought President Roosevelt | the past year, admits that he will' be re-elected, while the Washing-' ton Merry-Go-Round editors say ' "its in the bag.” Don't quit work ing It may be just a smooth trick ' I to make the Democrats over con-' I fident. Get the vote out and see I that it is really a victory. I I IFs just two weeks until elec-j tion and if the swing to Roose-1 velt continues as it has the past I i ten days, and it probably will, look for a landslide for President, Roosevelt and Cliff Townsend. I The people realize how serious it! ,wotjid be to change now, when we) have the depression pretty well,, whipped and will take no chances. Mr. Warburg, who wrote "Hell . Bent For Election” after his break ■ with President Roosevelt, is back. in line. He can t swallow Goveri nor Landon in this serious age ; and he realizes that the President knows where he is going. The I I I restoration of the gold standard) seems to have changed the minds iof many of the big eastern bank- ■ ers and business men. Harry Woodring, secretary of war. said in his speech here Sat-. urrl-ay night that President RooseI velt is for peace and will fig Tit to i the very last moment for that, realizing the terrible cost of war., i And Secretary Woodring added his position which is similar to ■ that of the President. We will have four years of happy prosper-, *ity with Roosevelt. Take no chances. e — — President Roosevelt will start out again tonight on his campaign, , this time visiting the New England states, where he will give his message that should convince, them, as it has the rest of the country, that the safe and sane and sensible thing to do, at this serious point of history, is to reelect him and permit him to carry on the program which has taken I the nation out of the depths of depression. - ass- j Life insurance officials in thirtytwo states have issued a strong statement protesting against the | utterance by Frank Knox, Republican candidate for vice-presi-dent that “Today uo life insu rUiivv | policy is secure, uo savings ac- ■ count Is safe.” There is uo truth ; in the remark, every one knows; >j it who has given any time to in-1 ; vestigating and banks and ineur-| ance companies are right uow in the best i-ondiiion lit years.

much even if it had been permitted I generally. The idea was to use a phonograph record giving President Roosevelt's voice on certain questions, this to be answered by the senator. Any thing the President has said, will certainly not be denied and the people will resent cheap vaudeville methods of presenting the important issues to the people, so let him go if he wants to. ° — Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE Q.
