Attend the Minton rally at the , court house next Friday night. Vote for Judge Dp Voss for the appellate court. To do that easily just make your mark in the rooster circle. With less than two thousand dol- j lars to raise to complete the factory fund drive, we should not 1 cease a moment until it is over. Thump with the Calithumpians. They will parade here the night of the 31st. It s Halloween when , the spooks and the uncanny spirits of the night come out in the open. Two weeks more and the campaign will be closing. Keep it clean and remember the right of suffrage is a privilege that we should all be happy for and use at every opportunity. Make yourself a member of the reception committee to extend a hearty welcome to Senator Minton when he arrives here next Friday. You will enjoy his smile and his hearty handshake. Shay is a real fellow. Speeches by party leaders perhaps do not change many votes but they should aud do enthuse the workers to get their coats off and fight for those principles they believe best for the greatest num-1 ber of people. Senator Shay Minton, popular and splendidly qualified statesman will address the voters of the county in a rally to be held at the court house in this city next Fri-1 day night. Be there and hear one of the great politicr'. messages of

the campaign. Subscriptions continue to come in for the factory fund and it is . believed the total will exceed $?,- 000 by tomorrow night. That would leave only a thousand uollars which should be easily taken care of by individuals. One citizen has offered to start such a list with 525. What do you say? The fourth district speaking campaign will close November 2nd with a big rally at Fort Wayne. The speaker for the occasion will be Daniel Roper, secretary ot commerce. He will discuss the business of the nation and how it has been revived. A delegation from here is planning to attend in a body and to join in the parade. J. Fred Fruchte, Democratic candidate for judge has practised law’ for many years successfully. He is well versed in Blackstone and qualified to serve you as judge of the 26th judicial circuit. He has been a long time worker in politics, served as prosecuting attorney six years and is now a veteran of the Adams county bar. He will appreciate your support. Pay no attention to rumors or to silly statements that cannot be backed up. It s easy to say any thing you want to about a candi-

date or a political leader until you are called upon to show where you got the facts upon which you base your assertion. It's not a fair or decent way to influence votes and as She last days of the campaign draw near, voters should keep that i in mind. Two weeks from Tuesday is elec--1 tion day and you should interest yourself In the issues. There will I be separate ballots for the state, ' county, township and city and you , should acquaint yourself with the 1 proper manner of voting. In each ' election there is a considerable loss because of mutiliated ballots. I The safe thing of course is to vote ; a straight ticket. That’s easy—j just place and X in the circle. The grand jury has completed [ its work of investigating the wrong-doers of Adams county, returning four indictments for misdemeanors and three for felonies. I In due time arrests will be made and the public will know who the persons are thus charged with vio- ! lations of the law. It’s an old institution and while many criticisms have been offered, it seems to be a workable balance wheel in the I scheme of rendering justice. We can think of no good reason why every voter in the county should not support Huber M. DeVoss for judge of the appellate I court. He is well prepared, having served as judge of the circuit court here the past five and a half years, with an excellent record. He will prove a valuable man on the bench of the appeal court and we would like to see him receive such a vote at home that would , leave no doubt as to the faith we have in him. The WPA has done a splendid job of sidewalk building and other public work in this city the past few months and are working hard to complete the program of taking care of applicants bes, re bad weather sets in. Just now fney , are busy completing the side walks in front of the new homes along . Central avenue, in the McMillen addition, where also they have con- , strutted a new sewer and assisted in building new street pavements. They are doing a real job and doing it well and deserve much credit. , The election ballots are being printed today and sample ballots will soon be available so you may acquaint yourselves with the candidates. The Democratic countyticket is headed by Congressman Farley who asks reelection because he has been a consistent 1 supporter of President Roosevelt and stands well with the adminis-

tration, thus enabling him to give I ' better service to the fourth district. He is a member of the important banking committee and in touch with every agency in Washington. The Berne rally was the best ever and that’s saying a lot. A large and enthusiastic crowd gathI ered to hear the Hon. R. Earl Petl ers, former reporter on this newspaper and now director of the ! Federal Housing Association for j Indiana. Experience in public as- i fairs, with a general knowledge of the needs of the people and with an acquaintanceship in Adams county, Mr. Peters spoke clearly and effectively to the voters, pari ticularly of the south part of the county. The social part of the program was a happy affair and the committees in charge are to be congratulated. The Chrysler Corporation has re- ■ called 34,000 men and will add , more. That’s the best sign of the . times and the best assurance that . economic conditions will be good . the coming year. Many of the . larger industries are recalling employes who have been off the past year. In a month or two we wifi ’ be going full steam again and 1030 i promises to be a record breaker ■ 1 for business. The national ad- • J ministration should not be changed

DEFENDANT TO RELATE STORY

“Perfect” Husband Slayi er’s Fate Soon To Go To Jury Chicago. Oct. 21.- (U.R> -Rudolph Sikora. 31. once a "perfect" husbr.nd, describes on the witness I stand today how he killed the man who. with talk of culture, poetry and music, wooed and won his pretty wife. Margaret. 22. He is on trial before a jury of 11 husbands and a bachelor on a charge of having murdered Edward Solomon. 35, an accountant. Sikora’s attorneys contend it was not murder, but a justifiable slaying under the "unwritten law." He shot Solomon on a street corner early on the morning of Aug. 22. It was the same corner where TTe had met Solomon 10 days earlier and warned him to "stay away from my wife.” The case may he given to the jury late today, tomorrow at the J latest. The jurors may return a ' verdict of death, life imprisonment, not less than 14 years for murder, one to 14 years for manslaugh i ter, insanity, temporary insanity at I the time of the slaying, sane at the time of the slaying and insane now. or not guilty. Sikora was calm and held his head proudly yesterday as he told I the jury he first learned his wife no longer cared for him while they were talking in bed one July night this year. At that time, he said. Germany. Mr. Busche pointed to the fact that churches in Germany have always been closely tied to the government. Preachers, he said, have been instructed to preach only from the gospel, and ‘ not to interfere with political or state affairs. Speaking of the Jewish problem, the speaker said that the average German feels that the Jews in that country needed curbing, but that methods used by the Nazis have been far too drastic, that methods based on the fierce hatred displayed by Hitler towards Jewry cannot succeed. Mr. Busche also spoke briefly on short visits he made to Austria, | Denmark and Switzerland. Preceding the meeting, the Geri man band from the Decatur high school played a number of selections in front of the hotel. Miss Marjorie Miller, accordionist, enLouise Haubold, pianist, and Miss tertained w-ith a number of selections while dinner was being serv ed. Group singing was led by Maurice Kindler. J. Ward Calland, chairman of the ladies night committee, had charge of the program.

Mrs. Sikora, who is aiding the I state in its effort to send him to ! j the electric chair, testified Wed- , I nesday that she loved Solomon and I that theirs was a beautiful ro-‘ mance, not the flirtation of a con- ■ I niving wife as the defense had I charged. Sikora was stlii on the stand when court adjourned yesterday. I’nder the questioning of defense Attorney W. W. Smith, he had told of his married life during the | months preceding the slaying.
