Roper, secretary of commerce, at Fort Wayne to-, night. You will enjoy the evening it you attend the Democratic rally at Monmouth tonight. Don't let the factory fund slip] now. It's by far the important . local job for the next week or two. Vote for Judge DeVoss. He is | an excellent jurist, a fine man, a . deserving citizen, and should have , the support of every voter in Adams county. Adams county Democrats are proud of the ticket for the 1938 | election and with a good record 1 back of them, respectfully urge , you to support them. "There is no appeal in a party that does not offer any definite remedy for the country's ills or substitutes for the principles it assails,”—Chairman James A.. Farley. i Congressman Farley has made a , clean and open campaign, has presented his support to the people and has urged them to suggest to him how he can further serve you. He is experienced, capable and anxious to render to the fourth district the very best he can. The city of Decatur has prosper- • ed the past four years and at least some of that growth and prosperity is due the official administration. It will be fine to continue the good work another four years. Consider 1 seriously and change for it means so much to each individual citizen. —— The factory fund has slowed up and it will require some renewed effort to put it over. Only J 1,200 j more and half of that in sight, I looks like we ought to get busy and finish a job as important as any we have ever tackled. It's something when for that small additional sum we can assure the j return to good jobs for a hundred ' men and keep a $200,000 institution , on the tax duplicate. Wake up i boys, get busy. Election returns will be received at this office and at Democratic headquarters next Tuesday night : as well as in various theaters and clubs. Hundreds will await the results and this office will as it has for many years have a tie-up all over the county. We will do our best to serve you. Don’t save all your enthusiasm for election night however, for what you do the next few days and on election day to get out the vote is the effort on which results depend. Judge DeVoss started from scratch, educated and trained himself. served as city clerk and mayor and six years as judge of the 26th j judicial circuit. He is now the Democratic candidate for judge of the appellate court and his elec- ; tiou is practically assured. It j

would be fine to give him a vote of confidence from this county that would cause every one in the state to take notice as a record for backing up a home man. Says William Allen White in his ! I I staunch Republican Emporia, Kansas, Gazette, commenting on a ' "poll'' designed to picture the “fair I treatment" of President Roosevelt in the news columns: "Probably a considerable majority of American newspapers are owned by men who disagree with the President. Probably, also, a considerable ma- I jority of the American newspapers ‘ . editorially express their differ-, ' ences, indeed sometimes their > 1 violent and often bitterly unfair , ! views of the President's position.” j James 1. Farley is the congress-1 | man who supported the act to guarantee bank deposits up to $5.-| j 000; who supported the only ad-1 ministration in recent American i history which has helped the farm- ■ i ers; who supported the only ad- , I ministration in recent American : , history which has helped home | I owners; who secured numerous! ' WPA and other grants for the j Fourth District; James I. Farley is the congressman who has co-oper-1 I ated wholeheartedly with Presi- J i dent Roosevelt, who has kept faith , with his constituents, who fully i merits re-election. — Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. Mr. Childs of the Krick-Tyndall | Company visited here today and , told the committee in charge of, the fund for the rebuilding of the plant, that the company would be ready by the latter part of next week to proceed wish their part of ' financing the proposition, if the . SIO,OOO fund is raised here. He also said that the minute they re-1 ceived information as to the financing. they would proceed with the work of construction. It is important that the fund be raised in total by the end of next week and Mr. Childs urged that there be no further delay than is absolutely necessary as each day wc hold off now is causing great inconvenience. , An amusing story came over the , wires regarding the consternation of a Massachusetts family confronted with the loss of $1,500 in bills which had been hidden in a discarded telephone book, Fifteen SIOO bills had been slipped into , the book as a safe hiding place from thieves. A company employe delivered a new edition of the tele-1 phone directory and carted off the old, and with it the money. When the loss was discovered, the owner learned that his money probably' was somewhere in a stack of 100,000 discarded books. VS orking steadily, the family finally located the elusive currency after about three-fourths of the stack had been j inspected. It was a happy-ever- ■ after ending to a decided domestic \ shock. The experience has a moral which should appeal to many folk who seem to prefer hiding places about the home to the far greater I security provided by banks. Some 1 secrete bills in books, running the risk of forgetfulness, fire and burglars. The expert thief ordinarily ' can outguess the amateur money I hider. Occasionally careless folk hide bills in stoves, remembering after the lucre has been reduced ‘ ,io ashes. Persons w-ho make a . habit of stowing currency in a i variety of hideaways run the risk ;of forgetting where substantial amounts may have been concealed. , With security of deposits assured. | the individual who declines to utilize the facilities of banks is 1 extremely foolish. — Indianapolis Star. 0 AGO TODAY From the Daily Democrat File I Nov. 2 —Peace may come within , sixty hours says a Washington dis-, ' patch.

O fjfie Safety How good a driver are you? Can you answer this question? If a pedestrian starts to cross the afreet at an intersection of “go" signal, but the light flashes "stop”' before he reaches the other side, i does he continue to have the right of way over vehicles until he gets &CFO6S? Many drivers make mistakes in this situation. Do you? Is the responsibility here entirely with the pedestrian or with the driver? Here is the answer: It is the responsibility of the driver to see that, in such a case, pedestrians are permitted to get to the sidewalk. 0 ARRIVALS Mr. and Mrs. Leland A. Ripley of route 1.

REPORT FLAYS BROKER HEADS SEC Rebukes Brokers For Silence In Whitney Failure Washington, Nov. 2 (U.PJ J. P-1 Morgan and company answered the securities and exchange commission's criticism of Thomas W. j Lamont and George Whitney to- i day with the charge that the SEC ; report on the failure of Richaid Whitney was “unfair and unwar--1 ranted." Toe SEC closed its investigation of the failure of Whitney’s brokerage business with a sharp rebuke to his brother, George, and Lamont, both partners of, Morgan & Co., for permitting him ! to "hide his misdeeds behind an i unwritten code of silence.” Rich-1 ' urd Whitney was once the presii dent of the New York Stock exchange. The commission contended that "had it not been for the partners' silence and inaction,” Richard I Whitney could not have continued I in business for months after his misconduct had become known to them. In a formal statement issued in New York, the Morgan company replied that “George Whitney did what any brother would do” and that “Lamont did what a friend' ami partner should have done— I lent George Whitney temporarily' j the cash to make restitution pos- ; i slble.” i The EEC's report said that ; I even if the fact that George and ! Richard Whitney are brothers I could be regarded as "an adequate ‘ explanation'’ of George's silence. I “it was not present in the case of Mr. Lamont who was in no wise related to Richard Whitney and had none but business conI tac’s wiin him.” Richard Whitney is now serving an indeterminate term of from I five to 10 years in Sing Sing pris‘on for grand larceny. But since his trial the SEC and the stock | exchange have worked out a joint program designed to prevent a repetition of circumstances which i led to the failure of Whitney’s j firm and to provide greater safe-1 • • | VOTE FOR T.

guards for brokerage customers. ' The commission cited testimony I that George Whitney borrowed sm>S2.(»oo from Lamont because his brother was in a “serious jam." Yet, the SEC said. Lamont considered as “entirely proper” his failure to advise exchange officials of Richard Whitney's criminal conduct. Even J. P. Morgan, head of the international banking firm bearing his name, testified, the commission said, that had he known of the unlaw-, ful acts he would not have reported them. “hi short, throughout the testimony,” the report said, “there was recurring evidence as to the existence of an unwritten code of silence in stock exchange circles which in practical effect prohibited a member from revealing that he nad loaned money to a fellow member. These witnesses adhered to the position that the fact that the borrower was a member of the stock exchange with responsibilities to his brokerage cus,omers in no way mitigated the force of this code. 'They testified that there was
