Plan to hear Senator Shay Minton here Friday night, October 28.1 Go with the crowd to Berne tonight to hear Hon. R. Earl Peters , discuss important issues ot the campaign. Autumn is in the air and the merchants will be busy the next ! several weeks. Do your buying new and do it in Decatur. A little more effort and the campaign to raise the funds for the rebuilding of the Krick-Tyn-dall plant, will be successfully over. It's worth it. Don't hesitate a minute. Complete the drive for the factory fund and let's get busy on the rebuilding of a $200,000 plant. Let's help the hundred men get their jobs back. It is conceded that Senator VanNuys will be re-elected to the senate. He has made a state-wide campaign, stating his position clearly and has met the issues fairly and squarely. He is a safe man for the big job. Plans are being completed for the Minton rally here the night of the 28th. Judge DeVoss wifi preside and Congressman Farley will talk briefly with the principal address by Senator Sherman Minton. It should be an interesting , meeting. Halloween with its witches and mysteries will soon be here. To observe it the local chamber of commerce plans its annual calithumpian parade. They have been held here for years with every one enjoying them thoroughly. Get in line or along the lines and plan to have a good time. Congressman Farley has proven his ability to serve the fourth district in congress. He has supported the president and as a member of the committee on banking, has played a great part in the passage of a number of important laws, including the bank deposit insurance provision. Home Owners Loan and FHA. Those who advocate pensions that are impossible are defeating the thing for which they are working. There are numerous plans being used over the country just now, mostly as political agencies, to peter out after election and leave those who believe they are entitled to recompense in much worse position than before. Theodore L. Becker, candidate for trustee of Washington township, is a high class and capable citizen. He will prove an efficient official, with the interest of every one in mind at all times. He is making a campaign of the city and county and is convincing those he meets of his sincerity. He deserves your support on election day. The school board has duly accepted the new high school build-

| Ing from the contractors and plans ( i for its occupancy are now under 1 way. The contractors, Schlnnerer ’ & Truemper have done a fine job. , kept within the prescribed limit of | I time and are justly proud of the ; i handsome structure which has been 1 ■ I ■ made ready for the people of this | ■ community to enjoy. Local offi- ’ etale are also worthy of praise for their attention to an Important 1 job. I General motors are putting 35,-j 000 men back to work and boost-| , ing their other employes ten per 1 cent. Business is moving forward. The depression is over. The next i I several years look promising and : will be if capital and labor agree I i and if we each do our part. Stocks , I are advancing and we are on the I verge of an era of real prosperity. . I It’s our wise move to support ' President Roosevelt by voting for those who feel in sympathy with his efforts to help every one. Everett Watkins, Washington correspondent for the Indianapolis ‘ I Star is touring the state to guess : ! on the outcome of the congression-I al elections. In his story from the | fourth district, “Watty" rambles I around to tell of the race between Mr. Farley and Mr. Gillie and • winds up by saying that while Mr. , i Farley has the best of it. he will . know he has been in a race. The | i facts are that the congressman who has served six years and who i stands high in administration cir-. cles. is completing a hard cam-1 paign during which he has covered the district and told his story ,in straight-forward manner. The voters realize that he will be in I position to do much for the people ; i of his district, while Mr. Gillie, if ' elected would be only an on-look-i er, out of touch with the adminis- , tration. GOVERNOR TOWNSEND: i If government and politics are I 1 the practical application of things ' for the betterment of the people, and for making life more comfortable, then one of the claimants for ! a foremost position in such social, endeavor should be Indiana's governor. By environment and training he is singularly adapted to 1 know the needs of the people of Indiana. By the first half of his term as governor, he has revealed a purpose and skill of getting results in these human and desirable 1 ambitions. All platforms are rich j l in promise, all platforms throb | with altruistic purpose, and all platforms raise the hopes of the i people that somehow out of governmental administration some benign results can be obtained for the i 1 masses. Gov. Townsend has ma-, terialized a good many of these things. Under his direction Indi- | ana has placidly and industriously ' applied herself to the attainment of a place among the foremost ( states. Capital and labor have coI operated, industrial peace has come out of his direction, he has worked with the agricultural population to get more out of its labors, | and to reap more material rewards I out of its efforts, and there has 1 come about a state of well being in Indiana which is envied and i studied in other quarters. Gov. I Townsend has a certain skill in separating the wheat from the chaff, he can see the things essential to the happiness and well being of his people, and he has not | 1 permitted the petty things to de- ; ' tract from his fire*, purpose. His ' frank and candid handling of pub- ; lie problems is disarming to any . who would seek to muddle the job as he sees it. The reaction from 1 i his daily transaction of the bus- ! iness ot the state, is that he realizes as well as anyone that he has a pretty complex job. and a multitude of interests to keep balanced I and working. He appears to grow in public approbation as the shadows of time lengthen over his term ot service. His high place in Indiana history seems even now singuj larly secure, and imposingly deserved—The Terre Haute Tribune. Q . Trade lu A Good Town — Decatur

GUNS PROTECT SWIFT WORKERS lowa Governor Calls National Guard To Packing Company Sioux City, la.. Oct. 20. -<U.R> ' The Swift and Company packing ! company continued partial operations today under protection of steel-helmeted national guardsmen equipped with machine guns, tear gas and other implements of modj ern war. The troops took control of the area surrounding the plant last night under orders of Gov. Nelson I Kraschel. They cleared the streets of a milling throng of strikers and sympathizers, set up two machine guns on the root and two others I in positions commanding the main I entrance. The strikers withdrew without j demonstration, other than a few jeers and catcalls. They are members of the Packinghouse Workers’ Union, committee for industrial organization affiliate. They started their strike Sept. 29 because, they charged, the company refused to. meet with their grievance com-: mlttee. That is their only complaint. Kraschel emphasized that the area was not under martial law I and said his sole purpose was to ; i allow Swift employes desiring To' | return to work to do so. “The troops merely will assist civil authorities in maintaining order," he said. The plaint has operated on a i limited schedule since Tuesday. A [ spokesman for the company said about 200 employes were in the plaint early today. They worked yesterday and will continue to do so today, he said. Approximately 100 of the workers have lived in the plaint since the strike started. The others have entered since

Tuesday. , Indications were that the company would attempt to resume full operations today. Officials asked Kraschel whether his stipulation : concerning plant operation includ--1 ed the rehiring ot 165 employes discharged by the company for a i sit-down demonstration the first ■ day of the strike. "My statement says employes," I Kraschel said, "and that's what it I means." He called out the troops yester- ; day after police and deputy sheri iffs had used tear gas and clubs j to dispel a crowd of approximately i 1,000 strikers and sympathizers intent on evicting the workmen from the plant. The Armour and Cuday plants, closed yesterday when strikers declared a one-day holiday, were to reopen today. The strikers said, they have no grievances against the companies and ordered the
