The Democrats are on their way to another victory in November. The party has the cause, has demonstrated its helpful program and the people want it continued. The tentative graduating class of the Fort Wayne South Side has already been announced. Say, that’s moving a little fast. What's become of Christinas in the meantime? The new automobiles are coming on the market and the factories are planning a busy run during the balance of the year. The models are better than ever before, are moderately priced and no doubt everybody will be trying to own one. See your dealer. The farm surplus is going to be fed the poor in this country. That sounds reasonable and in keeping with the charitable spirit of America. If we have too much, there are families that can use It. The Yederal government will see that they are fed. Indianapolis is launching a om niunity chest campaign for s7ll. 633. That's a big sum and there is no objection to the worthy • - *>• cause. The poor and neeay must be cared for. However, if men arc employed at good wages, the cause of want does not exist. The advantage of having a good tile factory in the community is that tt can supply needs for drain tile at a saving to farmers. Freight and drayage charges can be eliminated if the tile are picked up at TODAY’S SUGGESTION FOR PREVENTING FIRES rJt. 1 \ Jt Ji Death Is Near When You Clean with Gasoline LJ UNDREDS of persons arc * * killed annually attempting this dangerous practice.

The leaves have never been more colorful and it will do your old heart good to get out doors and sip of the beauties of nature. The Creator certainly gave us much to ' enjoy. Money donated to community l undertakings always is returned , several fold. The more we try to bnfld a better place in which to I live and work, greater is the opportunity to make a living. Activities lead to employment and noth- . ing takes the place of a steady job. If our factories can resume regular schedules and add men to the payroll, most of the economic 1 troubles are over. The volunteer solicitors who arc I . making the canvass for the tile 1 factory rebuilding- reemployment 1 fund are doing the work gratis. i They are interested in getting the i ; factory rebuilt and thus provide ; employment for about 100 men. Listen to their story. It's a com- : inunity boosting proposition and as . said before, the money given is not an assessment, but an investment in your own interest. After executing 370 persons the ; official executioner of a half dozen eastern states says he is tired of the job and adds he does not be- j i lieve capital punishment protects , society. We don't blame him for j tiring of his job. Crime goes on despite the inflicting of death pen- . allies, which has been the case ‘ ! since time began and each goner- j . a’ion fusses with ' the question • more or less. Several states have done away with capital punishment. Michigan being one, and a "Little Siberia" has been establish- | jed to house the most hardened ' criminals. Postmaster Janies 1. Farley couldn’t afford to run for governor •\ v - credit'd with turning down the I opportunity to obtain the nomination. Since he has been in the cabinet he has depleted his small savings and has turned to writing , to replenish his pocketbook. He ‘ earned more in private business than the salary paid a cabinet of- ( ; ficer and intends to return to his building and contracting business ■ after 1940. He has been a great | leader and is recognized as an ace salesman. He's tops all around. i Caution is urged in respect to burning leaves. Fires against th'curbs will cause the cement and limestone to crack and then crumble away. Fires on black top or apshalt streets destroy the pavements. The city street department is organized to supervise the burning of the leaves and then haul away the ashes. Three men are employed on the job under the supervision of Commissioner Roop j and the plan calls for burning the leaves one day and removing the ■ debris the next. Every effort Is ' being made to keep the streets clean and the leaves disposed of | as quickly as possible. =g.S= Clarence "Pat" Manion in his ! brilliant talk the other night, slat- ' ed emphatically that there must be cooperation and sympathy with the New Deal principle of providing employment for WPA work j ers in local communities in order ! to make the program effective to • bring worth while improvements I I to the people. He cited a few !

cities where mayors and officials of opposite political faith opposed the works progress program and consequently they did not receive federal funds or provide work for the men who wanted to work. ■ Local improvements must originate locally. The federal government does not make up the projects for schools, municipal plants, streets, sewers, sidewalks and other public works. The federal gov- , eminent will help finance the local programs and unless the work is provided the men must go on relief. It is better to provide public works, give employment and obtain improvements for the people. The policy has been followed in this city. o * TWENTY YEARS I AGO TODAY From the DallyDcmocrat File ’ October 14, 1918. — Germany's I proposal for peace reaches President Wilson and is being considerChristian Hirschy of Monroe a victim of Spanish influents at Camp Taylor.

The report# said that a group, of Hungarian soldiers raided the! | frontier district, taking three' 1 Czech railroad workers and three Czech soldiers prisoners at rifle | point.

PARTIESSEEK NEGROBALLOTS Both Indiana Parties Battling For Votes Os Negroes Indianapolis. Oct. 14. — (U.R) With a bloc of 75,000 to 100,000 votes as the prize — enough to swing a close election — both of Indiana's major political parties are waging vigorous campaigns to obtain the negro vote Nov. 8. j Democratic leaders are smiling and confident, certain that Sen. j Frederick Van Nuys’ anti-lynching i bill has made him a No. 1 hero to I American negroes and that he will I obtain almost solid backing from I Indiana’s colored voter. Strangely enough, for the same I reason — the anti-lynching bill — Republican negro leaders maintain that Van Nuys will lose the colored vote next month. They claim that Van Nuys has lost caste with the colored voters by failing to exert enough pressure at a time when the antilynching bill could have been passed. The two parties also are at variance on the part WPA will play in the negro vote, Democratic leaders asserting that the thousands of negroes receiving federal aid will be loyal to their benefactor and will vote Democratic for this reas-, on. Republican leaders claim, however, that WPA is "Just pure slavI cry and that the negro voters are ! looking for another emancipation i and will come back to the party I of Abraham Lincoln. Heading the Republican negro I bureau is Mrs. Grace Wilson Ev- ■ ans of Terre 'Haute, a prominent 1 negro speaker in Indiana aud a I power among negro club women. I The mother of eight children, she ; is an energetic, confident leader, 1 who maintains that the Republicans will get two-thirds of Indi-1 i ana’s colored vote this year. Henry Fleming, a grey-haired, liaunchy, slightly deaf negro who ; was thrown in jail 22 times for bat- j , fling the Ku Klux Klan in the days I of D. C. Stephefiso’n, is director of I the Democratic negro bureau. He I i was a Republican until 1922. when | the klan forced him into the Democratic fold. He has been heaiT of ‘the Democratic negro bureau ever since then. Fleming estimated Indiana’s col- ■ ored vote at 78,000 with the largI eat negro centers in Marion. Lake, ; Vanderburg. Vigo, Allen, St. Jos- > <*ph aod Grant counties. He said ' that more than 75 per cent of these ; negroes voted Democratic in the I ‘ 1936 election and that a greater ; percentage will be in the Denioi cratie column this fall. I "The negro vote is vitally im- j portant in Indiana," Fleming said ' lin a soft voice. "For instance, in I 1934 Sen. Sherman Minton was elected by a majority of 47.500.' More than 48,000 negroes voted the ( gmaMKHMOßracne cflilßfo SUN. MON. TUES. 10c Matinee 1:15 Sunday , TWO BIG hits: M-U-R D-E-R —behind the scenes in a famous Hollywood studio!
