It’s all over but the main job—i getting In the vote tomorrow. Don't fall down on that. Why take chances tomorrow. Put your mark in the rooster circle and make him crow. Hear R. C. Parrish and Dick; Heller at headquarters tonight. You will enjoy the program. A vote for Cliff Townsend tomorrow is a vote for a clean and healthy and wise administration. Listen in at ten tonight and get I the closing addresses of President [ Roosevelt and Chairman Farley. If ten thousand votes are cast in' Adams county tomorrow, we pre-| diet a majority of 3,500 for Roose-[ vclt and Townsend. Start warming up a smile for Wednesday. It never pays to show how uncomfortable you are when you have to take it on the chin and ' one side or the other is certain to • lose. The speech by President Roose-> velt Saturday night was the most. effective of his long career. He j was in lighting mood and present-, ed his cause in a polished, splendid and convincing manner. After the election will come oth- j er important matters — the Red Cross, plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas, the winter trading and preparations to make 1937 the greatest year in all history. 1 Political writers in the Sunday papers ali predicted the re-election t „ of Roosevelt, though some of them tried in about every imaginable l way to figure out a hope for Lan-j don. it looks like a landslide. This was the last day for paying taxes and most Adams county folks have attended to the job, thankful that the levies are reasonable and that the financial rating of this commonwealth is excellent. Senator Barkley gave the rally I at Fort Wayne Saturday night plenty of opportunity to cheer and they took advantage of it at every opportunity, it was a sreat meet-' Ing and a wonderfully enthusiastic' closing to the hard fought cam-} paign. Tonight at eleven o'clock President Roosevelt will give his final message to the voters. Those who arc wtee will follow his advice for’ he is experienced, trained, quail-. lied and honest and he is fighting for the best interests ot the com-j mot man. This office will give the election returns, receiving them by special leased United Press wire, telephone and radio. You are welcome to call 1,000 for any information.

Returns will ba received here and i at Democratic and Republican headquarters. if you trade Roosevelt prosperity 1 -' for Landon promises which are different in the east and the west, you are more foolish than we think you are and you will have to be satisfied with what you get. The' tough part of it la that the real will have to suffer with you. — Tnere is no reason why any one voting any national ticket should do any thing but place a mark in that circle which he prefers. This :is the first time in Indiana that the national ticket has been separI ate from the state ticket. To vote the national ticket you need only make the one mark. If you don't you must mark each one ot the fourteen electors down the Hue, and that gains you nothing. ——=• One of the worst scandals in the i state may develop as a result of the blow-up of the fienjamin Harrison Life Insurance Company, in I which Raymond Springer, candi-; date for governor on the Republican ticket, is apparently one ofj the main stockholders and an ofti-| cer until he saw what was coming ; and tried to slip out. Do you want him for governor? Certainly not ■ on his record iu connection with that company at least.

The campaign is over and Nathan C. Nelson deserves credit for a ■ clean and splendid fight. The speakers have been good, there has been no dirt thrown, only an effort to convince the voters of Adams county that it is to their I best interests to vote the DetpoI cratic tickets. The issues have ' been taken to every voter and I that’s all the chairman and his orsanitation can do. The rest is up to you as an individual —to vote i right and to assist in getting othi ers to do so. With the big fight over, Demo- ' crats, local, state and national be- : iieve the re-election of Franklin : D. Roosevelt, the election of Clif- ! ford Townsend and the state ticket, the re-election of Congressman Farley and the election of the entire county ticket is assured. Various I claims have been made and straw ' votes have been broadcast to indi- ! cate the election of either Roosevelt or Landon, but it seems eer{tain that the people of this natieu i will not turn down a man who has I fought as Roosevelt has for Landon, an uncertain quantity. It's I far too important that we go on with the program of licking the deI pression. Stop and think seriously before i you vote — it Governor Landon should be elected tomorrow, it will ibe a repudiation for President Roosevelt, naturally causing him to immediately drop his plans. It 1 will be two and a half mouths be- , fore they could function. Controlled as they no doubt would be, to! ! some extent at least, by those who have contributed to the Republican campaign, they would start a retrenchment program that would continue a lull in business front which we could not recover for a long time. If President Roosevelt is re-elected and Cliff Townsend is 1 elected governor, there will be no I let down, but an immediate leap forward in business and prosperity. It will be the most serious inis- , take of your life, if you go wrong this year and the majority goes 1 with you. We have too much j faith in America and her people to believe that will happen. I THE IMPORTANCE !OF YOUR VOTE: Just one vote! What difference ■ can it possibly make'.' How many people in these United States will ‘ say that to themselves tomorrow i and stay home from the polls? ! Millions! The importance of one vote cannot be overemphasized.

Let it stand 24 hours to slack, or until the consistency of paste. Dip out desired portion and thin with water to required consistency. A teaspoonful of bluing to a half bucket of whitewash will make it clear and white, and a half pint of salt aids in sticking.

M. Clifford Townsend'Speaks To Voters Os

“I am confidont that the aims I and purposes of the Democratic party are so well understood and appreciated by the people of Indiana, that they will vote tomorrow I by an overwhelming majority to continue on the sound and pro-' gressive course. “Citizens who vote tlieir convictions. and not sentiments which may be based on false rumors ami misrepresentations, will choose to. support that kind of government | which means the most to their | homes, their families and the' future of their own welfare as 1 human beings who have a right I to work and be happy in a democracy of opportunity. “The people ot Indiana would forfeit many gainr, that have been made for their common welfare ! and prosperity if they should neglect, to take as much interest in voting an endorsement of «the eleven experienced and tested public oSicara whose names appear on the Democratic state ticket as they take in the reflection of our president and congressmen. What I liappcns to me personally is not! of as much importance as whati happens to this sreat program of Hoosier recovery and sound government. In Uns campaign, not one word ot criticishi has been Xoiurd with the records made the past four years by nominees on the state Democratic ticket who are seeking re-election. No fault has been found with tlje economies i an<l the progress made by the state departniepte which have been under my direction as lien-tenaut-goveruor. “There is fto other issue in. this

Never; merely place the ; knife and fork on the plate, side . by side. Hut do not move the plate. Q If one cannot accept an invitation. is it permissible merely to write “regrets” on one's visiting card and send it? A. No; this would be rude. One should always write a brief note of regrets. Q Following a church wedding, in what order should the cars leave the church? A. The car of the bride and bridegroom leaves first, then the i bridesmaids, next the bride's father and mother, then the groom's 'father and mother, then the near- '. egt relatives, followed by other , friends.

Having listened to many speech es and read the shameful abuse heaped upon the President, I can not help but express myself In a short and appealing way to the fellow voters regardless of creed, 1 nationality or politics. if it had not been for Roosevelt j where would you be today, Mr. Farmer, laboringman or business ' man? Could you have carried on | another four years as you did for the twelve years prior to Mr. Roose- , velt’s election? if you were not ! clear down and out. how far were you from down? While listening to Alf Landon' i trying to make a speech in Philadelphia last Monday he muttered j something about the city of the ; Liberty Bell and the Constitution, telling his audience that the Con- ' stitution is iu danger and your lib- ' i erty at stake in this election. Now 1 ' I will take up liberty. What is liberty? Maybe I do, 1 not know how many kinds of lib- , ' erty we have but 1 think he whs ' speaking of political liberty. Every- ] I body else is enjoying liberty t oa

pertain extent. Landon told, his 1 I listeners that w hen 1 am President I will restore libcry, when 1 am • President I will restore the Con-J stitution. Well, that would be fine 1 if we did not already have liberty ' and also a very fine constitution How can he restore something we | are ali enjoying? Look and listen, here comes the I" i great engineer Hoover. Hoover : ! was elected in 1928. He had an 1 immense following. He was elect-1 ed over Al Smith by an overwhelming majority. He was to lead us out of the wilderness into which we were drifting by leaps and 11 bounds. Now mind you Herbert 1 the Great is at the helm now. 2 Lib-ji erty and Constitution is turned' loose on you now, and prosperity is right around the corner. And ; liberty is running rampant — so ! were all of us, we were to be led to the flowing waters of prosperity 1 and wealth. But alas and alack, you were badly fooled as the Great i Engineer had his orders to take | fronr those constitution and liberty . lovers, same as Harding and Cal ' Coolidge. Had he had any ambi- .' tion and courage, had he had any sympathy for the common people, had he possessed just one half what it takes to make a President he could have saved a lot of suffering to the average people. Peo- ' pie were starving, hungry, destitute. poverty and suicide predominated. You surely, my dear votens, have not forgotten what took place in those four years and mind you your trust was placed in the hands I of a great engineer who made you eat corn meal, whole wheat and midlings during the war. but your menu came down to nothing to eat., I You. my dear farmer, may have! ! had something to eat during the [ | Hoover adminstration but thous- ' ends of families did not nave any [ 'thing to cat and nothing to wear, i i Now mind you this all happened in I a land of plenty to eat and plenty to wear. You, Mr. Farmer, had to give away your farm products,' cheap as it was. the laborer did not have a penny to buy with. Had this engineer had the foresight or I the ability to forestall this caiam j ity this could have been avoided but no, political liberty was at stake and you took your medicine. 1 ask you, do you want any more ■of it? —it is up to you. You have your choice next Tuesday. I would like to say something in I favor of Roosevelt. Where would this country be today if it had not, been for Roosevelt? He had the ambition, he had ability and he ■ had the courage to step up before I this liberty-loving clique and call I a halt. From the very day he beI came President you and I looked to him for a solution of our financial problems and he solved them quicker and better than any one could hope for. He had the foresight and the courage to step to the front and tell the clique what was what and evdn at the loss of j their financial liberty they enjoyi ed. He made them stand back and l take orders from him. Roosevelt ' came as a God-send just when he did, for when a few financiers and i monopolists can ifile and dictate ‘ jto the entire nation what they ‘ must do, it is time to call a halt and Roosevelt did do mat very | thing and thereby heaped uponj hiiuself tile shameful abuse and slander ot all those nice liberty lovers, it the people would hall appreciate what he did for the 1 cMnmon people he would have by far more votes than he did four i years ago. 1 cannot understand a nation tliat will pspay its benefactor with the! gross misrepresentation and slander and even brand him a thief and liar just because he does not listieu to the few that brought Hus country to ruin.
