National Representative SCHEERER A CO. 15 Lexington Avenue, New York 35 East Wacker Drive, Chicago Charter Members of The Indiana League of Home Dallies Help make the November bond quata of 195.300 If each does his part, it will be easy. —o That was a tight squeeze on our ' October bond sales and we should ' see that we don’t have to make a • last day push for 320.000 again as 1 we did last month. Let’s put No-1 Vember over the flrat three weeks and have it out of the way. -0 Add Egypt and Syria to the conn-; tries in which Yankee soldiers are now camped ready for a part in the I war. Thousands of men with full equipment landed In those countries this week. The war will assume real action the next fewweeks. —o (lathering election returns is al- j ways a long and tedious Job but it has it's pleasant side as the news is conveyed to thousands of Inter* ested people. We appreciate the cooperation given by every one in securing the news as promptly and as accurately as we could. 0-0 The Democrats carried Adams I county by forty-six votes for Den-1 ton. their candidate for secretary of state That carries with It the inspectors at elections the next j two years This year the Republi-1 <ans held that advantage, if it Is | one. one of the few times in his- ‘ f tory. —o The talk of candidates for president is 1944 ha» started and will . continue the next two years. Much will depend on the war situation and on the general economic conditions. but there are indications we will have another election after an old fashioned campaign, regardless of predictions that w* are ' paaains to « dictatorship. 111 0-0 — Indiana will again have a Republican legislature and Governor Sehricker will pr .hahiy again have to battle efforts to take over general control. From past records he Is capable of meeting the situation and if the G.

A week ago that agency predicted a 54 percent advantage for the Democrats but it turned out just about the reverse which goes to prove again that

those who take pre-election guesses too seriously, are engaging in wish-, ful thinking more than in actual ’ facte. —o Conditions could be much worse than they are for most folk in this . country. It's those in the actual battles, on the seas and in far away I tamps that have the hardest task. Here work is plentiful, we have had good crops, prices are excellent. we may have to do without a , lew hingx and pay extra taxes on luxuries but that's nothing if it helps to win —o You are urged to plan your Christinas shopping earlier than usual this year. Goods can be < obtained now on which merchants w ill be limited and for which future I orders are uncertain. Too. the stores are not ever manned for I clerks are getting scarce as the war plants absorb them You will not ! only accomodate the merchant but ; you will be acting wisely for your- , self by shopping early -0— At least it cannot be charged that President Roosevelt or other leaders held out on the people because of an approaching election. They gave the news, good or bad ] They announced the various cam- j I paigns that must be made to win i the war. They planned the rationing of gasoline and they gave the public the facts, regardless of how I it might affe t an important elec--1 tion. —o We offer our congratulations to j those who were elected to office in Tuesday's contest for votes The i campaign wa« quietly but earnestly conducted, with but little mudslinging Those who will serve dur-1 Ing the next two to four years will [ find the work more strenuous than 'in normal times, with numerous extra duties and with the added 1 responsibilities of transacting busineaa during war times. We are sure the public will cooperate in every way. —o The gathering of election returns < becomes more burdensome, espec- ■ tally during times like these when | travel is a problem. It has been suggested that arrangements be tnadc for the next election, so that returns be sent promptly to a central place, where they can be dis--1 pensed to political headquarters . If a new law Is necessary to conI elude such a plan. It should be enacted in the coming legislature, not by any party but by every one concerned. —o i Roll up your sleeves and help win the war. Follow the requests on meat rationing as well as those fixed by orders on other foods and commodities. Roy all the bonds you can. Your liberty is at stake ; and that’s no political twadle. It s rhe trust as testified to by leaders of army and navy, political and news agency who have seen the war first handed It's time to realize that thia is all out battle and that to lone it means to lose every thing we have. 0 O—Adams Post of the American legion will conduct the campaign to send the old Jalopy to the Junk pile. Over the country there are -housauds of cars unfit for use. many of them used for larks by school youngsters The country needs the metal and the parte and they will be of far greater good to Uncle Sam than to the individual The legion has agreed with the WPB to put on a real campaign to gather up all the old cars they can j and to turn this added metal Into I rhe vast heap of scrap to keep the i mills running —o After January let. it will be his . honor. Mayor John B Slults H< Io new in political office but he Is j well prepared to attend to the duties of his important place.
