Hear Van Nuys, Minton and Farley at Fort Wayne tonight. Subscribe to the Krick-Tyndall fund and start the wheels moving. Every tax payer will be helped. Did you guess todays game right? Baseball is about as uncertain as playing the stock market. The Wabash drain is still a somewhat indefinite thing that has been dreamed about and talked about for twenty years or more. Tell your neighbors and friends to subscribe to tue factory fund. It will be a good thing for every j one in this section of the country. Democratic headquarters is open and you are cordially invited to make it your headquarters. Get in the campaign and help your party win. Folks are buying for winter now and Cue merchant who isn't trying to sell them is losing as fine an op|M>rtuuity as he has had or will have in a long time. It's going to be difficult to get ! any thing settled until the Cubs and the Yanks have decided which is the superior ball team. Bank deposits up to 35.0(10 are guaranteed and insured by the governin' Congressman Farley as a member of the committee of banking helped to enact this great law. Business reports indicate general improvement and from about every source. The next few months should be better than in several years and if we get over this decline we ought to go forward several years. Merchants who are wide awake will advertise their autumn and winter goods. The people are look-1 lag for suggestions and will appreciate them. An advertisement in . the Daily Democrat will be read by fifteen thousand people. Try it. I Senator Van Nuys, Senator Mhi-i ton. Congressman Farley, state | candidate* and others will be on tha program at the Democratic rally at the Shrine Temple at I Fort Wayne at eight o'clock to- j night. It fs not an easy matter to raise 510,000 in a city the size of Decatur but it can and should lie done now for the factory-laborer fund that will restore a hundred good citizens to their jobs. If you can't ' give a hundred dollars, give what | you can. Even if it's only a tew dollars it will help. Only a few more days iu which to find out whether or not you are properly registered, if you are not you cannot vole legally on election day. If you have moved or if you have never voted or if you did not vote iu the election two years ago, your name Is not on the cards. Get busy by calling at the county clerk's office or getting in

’ touch with your precinct commit- : leemau who is authorized to regI later your name. The labor relations Jaw should I be amended Tltat is the opinion of i both labor und employer. But I that modification should be made ! by those who believe there is a - common meeting place for all and not by those who would toss overboard every thing done by the Roosevelt administration to aid those who work on farms, in shops or any where else. The campaign to raise the factory fund is not moving as rapidly as those in charge would like to have it. Certainly every one wants the big Qle mill rebuilt and the hundred employes returned to their jobs. The way to get it done is to do it quickly and enthusiastically. Members of the committees should see that their work is done one hundred per cent this week. Democrats should not be led off

by the old trick of concentrating on two or three candidates. The G. O. P. in this county has done that for several years, desirous to slip something over that will give them strength. The Democratic party has proven its loyalty to the people and President Roosevelt should be supported by the election of those who are friendly to I him. A hundred men means taking■ care of five hundred people. That's nearly ten per cent of the population of Decatur. This campaign to raise SIO,OOO to assure rebuilding i of the Krick-Tyndall plant is the 1 most important in years for the j community. There should be no . hesitancy about subscribing to it. | The employes have subscribed , $3,000 of it and we should match } their good citizenship, by giving proportionately. | The Democrats of the city of j Decatur present a ticket worthy * !of your support. Most of these | candidates are serving now or , . have done so in the past. They! I have a program to carry out that • will help every one in the commuu- i ity aud they should have your whole hearted support. They are tried and have proven they can do the job well. That's what you surely want as citizens of the best town in the country. The death of S. F. Bowser, well known Fort Wayne industrialist, removes one of the most active men northeastern Indiana has ever produced. He was well known here aud in his younger days was employed in the old woolen mills. He was a Christian gentlemau and for many years conducted the largest gas and oil tank manufaci faring business in the world. He was a student of the Bible and ' during the latter years of his life 1 devoted much time and effort in discussing and writing about the Great Book He lived a full and helpful life. Those who are trying to manuI failure a big rift among tho Dem- ! ocratic workers of Indiana missed tire again when they announced that Senator Minton aud Governor Townsend were on the outs and i that others were ready to tear the ' old party to pieces. Governor Townsend immediately issued a statement in which he said he wa« not a candidate for any thing aud i has no desire to build a personal machine, that he believes Senator Minton to be one of his closest aud best political friends aud that there is absolutely no truth to the statements recently issued purely for political purposes. That ought I to settle that point but of course lhey will publish other stories that will prevent a discussion of auy issues, largely because they have none that they feel will appeal to the people. o — * : Mayonnaise is pronounced may'-ou-uiz: not my’-ou-ace. ; .♦ ♦

RUSSIA FLAYS MUNICH FACT Newspaper Hints Russ-ian-French Alliance May Be Ended — Moscow. Oct. 5 (U.R)-Specula-tion in diplomatic quarters on Russia's foreign policy in light of the four power agreement at Mu-, nich for dismemliermeiit ot Czechoslovakia, was intensified today by publication of an article questioning the value of the Russian French military alliance The article was published in the ' French language weekly. Journal | De Moecou. whose sources of information at the foreign office here are regarded as making it a pronouncements almost of semiofficial importance. Without directly suggesting a definite breach with France the 1 Journal De Moscou said the four power agreinent had made the Russian-French alliance “practically invalid." "Without consulting the Soviet i Union,' said the article. "France nullified the Russian-Czechoslo-vak pact which was a corollary to the French-Russian pact and one of the most important elements in the eastern regional pact. "The democratic press of several countries is asking what I value France's commitments can have now. Public opinion is asking another question—what is the value of the French obligation to i the Soviet Union regarding ihe I French-Russian pact, since France | has destroyed her treaty of alliance with Czechoslovakia when Czechoslovakia was under the heels of the Fascist aggressors? “The loss of hei allies and isolation is the price France will lie compelled to pay for capitulating to the aggressors.” It was suggested that France now had only Great Britain, who "may be expected to double cross her at a.ty time." "What did France gain by capitulating at Munich?" asked the Journal De Moscow "Nothing but Hitler's verbal promise not to make new territorial claims in • Europe. What has France lost by delivering Czechoslovakia to the German aggressors? France has ' >ost her faithful ally. Czechoslo- ; vakia.
