Some way or other it will come out.” Mills made his first trip to thè murder fami at thè suggestion of newspaper men.

an administration. there was taken from thè people almost illifooo.ooo In taxes, $11.000.000 more than doublé tiro amount taken under thè Democratic administration. ThSs last Democratic administration In Indiana not only reducod thè generai fund tax from 9 to 7 cents on thè hundred dollars, but it so managed financial affairs of thè State that lt estahlished a new State, institution, paid large balarices for thè construction and improvement of other lnstitutions under former adminlstratlons, put every institution in Indiana In thè hest financial condltion ‘n hlstory, put thè flnances of thè State in a conditlon which warmnted a further r*-ìuetion of 1 cent In thè generai fund, wlped out thè sinklng fund of l - cents and reduced thè vocational education fund l -j cent. This made a total reduction of 5 cents on thè hundred dollars. In addltion to this, that administration put Indiana out of rìebt for thè first tinte In eighty two years and loft in thè State treasury for tho incomlng administration thè sum of mure than $3.700,000 in cash. You know what taxes ymj are cali ed upon to pay. The faet will be deeply tmprcssed on your minds Monday, which is taxpaylng day. If you are satisfied with this tremandoli increase In taxatlon, lf you find thè prospect of paying stili higher taxes ploasing and are In favor of these conditlons, then. without any question, you should go ahead and vote thè Republican ticket r.ext Tuesday. But lf you find that you prefer thè restoratlon of thè lower taxes of 1915. then vote thè Democratic ticket. It is frignirteant that with ali thè complaint about increased taxes and all thè dissatjsfaction with condltlons as they now exlst. thè Republican party has piade no declaration that lt would do anytliing to rem ed y these conditlons. The Republican State platform is Rtrangely silent on thè question. On tho other hand. thè Democrats n>et thè issue squarely and in their platform this vear promised thè people of Indiana that they will take fimi and definite steps toward lfghtening this trenierglous tax hurdon which Republican adminlstratlons have imposed upon their shoulders. As a pla.in matter of fact, thè same conditlons exist in thè affairs both of thè State and Nation. On all sides tho burden is belng put more and more upon tho masses of tho people, tho housewifo, thè farmor, thè laboring man. thè man of rr odorate means in all walks of lise.

PENNIES OPEN GRAND DAUGHTER’S ACCOUNT Gray-Haired Man Takes Advantage of Liberty Bell Offer of 50 Cents

He was gray-haired and he had kind, twinkling eycs. "Somebody’s grandfather," was thè first thought of tlioso who saw hlm. Ile walked slowly into thè Bankers Trust Company on Pennsylvania St., near Ohio. Under his arm he held a cigar box. ( At thè new accotfnt desk he halted. He opened tlie box and held it out to thè clerk at tho desk. The clerk saw hundreds of pennies—glistening, new ones and dull, old ones. “There are 573,” thè man explained. "My wife and I have been saving them for a long time. Now we are going to open a savings account for our little granddaughtcr, who is just six months old.” The proud grandfather took from his pocket a Times Thrift Coupon, which was good for 60 cents on a Liberty BeH savings account. The clerk gave hlm a bank book which showel that he had opened on

public concern. It is not difficult to understand why this is thè case. We have come to a point in thè administration of our public affair when thè vast majority of thè people actually are overburdened’-by thè taxes Imposed upon them until conditions almost are intolerable. The people must have relief, and they can get it only by supporting thè politicai party which opposes extravagance in thè opcration of governmental affairs. Under a Democratic administration in Indiana, while I had thè honor to l>o Guvemor, there were taken from thè people of Indiana taxes amountìng to less than $52,000,000. Following thè close of that administration. when tho Repub, lican party carne into power, taxes began to go higher and stili higher. Under a Republic-

The increase in Are losa has increased from $16,559,433 in 1916 to over $30,000,000 in 1921. The great hazard of tho electric lron is that thè current ls left turned on when thè lron is not in use, Chief O l ßrien said.

The Republican party of Indiana has never been in such excellent condition as tt now is, in thè senso that for thè first time in a generation it is absolutely

wdthout party feuds or factions. This is due to thè fact that small politica and personal ambitions have disappeared in thè presence of profound fundamental prfnciples, upon which all of us are agreed and upon thè maintenance of which dapends thè very existence of American lnstitutions. This profound cause has also brought to our supporti great numbers of stoady-minded. levelheaded men and women who heretofore affiiiated with thè Democratic party. I stato only what everybody knows, that what is left. of thè Democratic party has already lost, and is loslng in lncreasing numbers, thè more thoughtful and staMe men and women who once belonged to it. VH Republican men and

women and these I>emocra/o BE\ BRIDGE men and women who think as we do sce now that every d est ruoti ve element In American lise is supporting thè Democratic candidates. This is especlally true righi here in Indiana. The whole force of extreme and reckless radicalism of thè entire Nation has been cenierod here in Indiana in a desperate effort to keep down thè Republican majority, and especlally to reduce my majority. If these forces of extreme and reckless radicalism could do so. they would rather defeat me than to accompllsh ar*y other resuit whatever throughout thè Repuhlic. They frankly say so themselves. If they did not. I would not, of courso, mako this asaertion. But there is thè situation, and we might as well face lt openly. The fact is that every man and organization in America which wants and is strivlng to bring atout Government ownership of railroada has lndorsed and is supporting thè Democratic candidates in Indiana. Every man and organization in Amertt.a which is determined to take from thè American court their power to overthrow acts of Congress which violata thè Constitution has lndorsed and is supporting thè Democratic candidates In Indiana. Every’ man and organization in America which wishes to use thè power of taxation to destroy' capita! as such has lndorsed and ls supporting thè Democratio candidate in Indiana. Every man and organization in America which wishes thè Government to restrict. control, spy upon and to Interfere with business ha lndorsed and is supporting thè Democratic candidate in Indiana. Every man and organization in America which would Russlanlzo American industry ha indorsed and ls supporting thè Democratic candidates In Indiana Not a single organization which advocates extreme radicalism has lndorsed or is supporting mo or thè Republican party. On thè contrary, every’ such Infiuence in America ls bittorly hostilo to t)?e Republican ticket in Indiana, and ls especlally violent in oppositlon to me. So thè Hne-up is vain. and that is why what is left of thè Democratic party is constantly losing ever lncreasing numbers of men and women who once tvero Democrats, but who now, in viow of this contest between thè destructive forces of American society on one sido and tliose who believe in American lnstitutions on tho other side, are coming to our supporr. in this campai * This statement was obtained from Albert J.
