With such excel- , lent citizens as J. Fred Fruchte for judge. Arthur E. Voglewede for prosecuting attorney and the ;
others all down the line, we should proudly give the ticket the largest majority in history. J Vote for Huber M. DeVoss on j the state ticket. He is a Decatur man who has consistently made i good as court reporter, city clerk, t j mayor of Decatur and judge of the • 26th judicial circuit. Well grounded in the theories of Blackstone, i he will make an excellent judge i i on the high bench. ' The issues have been presented 1 I you in a campaign that has been I I , rather vigorous the last two weeks. You know or should know, what candidates best represent what you want. We helieve the Democrats are in a much better position to serve yon and urge that you vote that way tomorrow. Remember that we must complete the campaign for the KrickTyndall fund this week and Indica- ! tions are that we can do it successfully. It you haven't subscribed, your contribution to this sum that is being raised to return a hundred i good citizens to work, w ill be appreciated by every one who believes in the community. Adams county is proud of the fact that Judge DeVoss, an honored, respected and capable jurist is a candidate on the Democratic 1 state ticket for judge of the appelI late court. He should and we be- ' | lieve will receive a wonderful vote from this county that will show that he is held in high esteem. He 1 and his friends will appreciate your I vote. V , We do not assume for n minute that all we have done is right or all that we have done has been . successful, but our economic and social program of the past five and a half years has definitely given to the United States a more stable and less artificial prosperity than any other nation in the world has i enjoyed. — From President Roosetveits Friday night speech. Democratic prospects for victory I were never brighter than at the present time. The vast majority of the people of Indiana are as friendly to President Roosevelt as j they were in 1932 and 1934 and I I 1936. They know that Roosevelt, has kept the faith with them. They | i are determined to keep the faith j with Roosevelt. And not all tfye ! fraudulent implications and innI uendoes of the opposition will I sway them from this determination. James I. Farley, the aid and i colleague of the President, is going ; : to be re-elected to congress Tues-' ' day. The voters realize that a vote for Farley is a vote for Roosevelt. i ■ —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. -- As the political campaign nears I | the “zero hour" Indiana Democrats I j are driving home the theme, “get I out the votes." Democratic leaders are confident of winning the election by the greatest plurality ' ever registered by any party in an off-election year, if all the regI istered voters actually come to the ' polls. The Democratic party faces the election with a record of having rescued the nation from a major depression, stabilized the i banks, reduced property taxes, inI creased national income and in- 1 augurated sympathetic programs I tor agriculture, labor and business. | The tremendous business upswing, brought about by state and national recovery programs, and the i increasing evidence that business j will co-operate with the govern- j ment are regarded as factors add- I . ing strength to the Democratic i campaign in the last few weeks. The Democrats have campaigned , ! on the record and on a pledge to go forward and improve existing programs, as the economic and social conditions of the state and nation require. o ■ ♦ — — —*—♦ TODAY'S COMMON ERROR Do not aay, “He ran a little ways down the street;" the proper word is “way.”
