VERN DAVISSON, Candidate for Sheriff on the Democratic Ticket in Jasper County, is the only Jasper county soldier boy that you will have a chance to .show your appreciation for by the ballot November 2, for his valuable service on Flanders front in the world war, where he fought our battle , for about 22 months. He won Two War Crosses and Two Silver Stars, also the Royal Cord, the highest honor that the French Government can confer on a division. He fought with the French army for five cents a day for three months before Uncle Sam took him over, this is evidence that Vern done his full duty in the world war, fighting our fights, and he returned home with health impaired. I Let us, voters, give Vern a vote November 2 that he will be proud of, regardless of political faith. ,' A REPUBLICAN VOTER ' V ‘ • • .> ‘' ' f'-. _ —Paid Advertisement. . '

DO “WE NEED HIS KIND IN OFFICE?”

(Continued rrom page One)

farmer and never was, and his own “boiler plate” dope, sent out to the Republican papers of the state, gives the lie to such claim, for it admits that his parents moved to Kentland when he “became of school age,” he has lived there ever since,! and has always been known as a, grain dealer, banker aijd great lover: of the Chicago board of trade; also vice-president for many years of the Sawers Grain Co. of Chicago, which deals in “futures” on the board and has numerous "branches” in Indiana and other states. Neither the fact that he -.is a banker nor a bpard of trade man has been mentioned by the candidate in any of his speeches, and therein comes the chief deception. In these days of farmers’ organizations and the farmers of the entire country being aroused over the alleged manipulations of the grain markets by the Board of Trade, and Governor Allen and' Senator Capper, both of' the great grain producing State of Kansas and both Republicans, declaring it to be “the greatest gambling hell on . earth” and announcing their intention to try to have it legislated out of business, do. we want a board of trade man in the governor’s chair in Indiana, where he would have so much influence against any legislation designed to.’ put this alleged iniquitious “gambling hell” out of business? This is a matter the farmer especially should consider in casting his vote next Tuesday. And it is ~pot only in manipulating the grain prices that the Board of Trade and the “branches” operating under its name wreak havoc. Only last week Attorney Barce of Fowler, in his speeches in Jasper county, showed what tbe Sawers Grain Co. —Warren T. McCray, vice-president —had dohe to a couple of farmers’ elevator managers in his own county, and whose acts in gambling in futures through said company had done to the farmer stockholders, a matter which is generally known to everyone in this section of -the state. Mr. McCray has never mentioned, his connection with the Sawers Grain Co. durjng his campaign. Why? ' /* He has been and is “A FARMER,” so he .says, but never a. word about his connection with the Sawers Grain -Co. and its numerous little shops throughout the country to beguile the managers of the farmers' grain elevators. And why has he not done this? The court records disclose' that he admitted under oath his connection with this company for the past 10 years, as was shown 'in The Democrat last week. His assessment sheets on file in the auditor’s office in Kentland, in reply to the question; "Value of other corporate bonds ?” gives his sworn reply as "Sawers Grain Co., assessed in 1111©ois." There are otheji reasons why Mr. McCray should not be made governor IBs evasion of his just share In the hardens of taxation when ba wasnot a candidate for

governor have been published and such publication was taken direct from his assessment sheets and are absolutely true In every respect. But his connection with Governor Goodrich and his endorsement of the Goodrich tax law —which is condemned from one end of the state to the other —together with his part with Goodrich in the last special session of the legislature In putting over the “legalizing” act which fastened onto the taxpayer an assessment which the highest court in the state had declared illegal, should show to the people that no relief from this Inlquitious and unjust tax law may be expected if he is made governor.

PROBING INTO WHEAT PRICES

Allen May Propose Prohibitive Law Against Future Trading. Topeka, Kas., Oct. 27. —Governor H. J. Allen has announced that he will propose a law to the next legislature to prohibit trading in grain futures in Kansas If the present investigations of boards of trade prove that the price of wheat and other farm’ products have been manlpu-

lated. The governor says that the Information now on hand indicates that bucket shops are operating in a large number of cities in Kansas in violation of the law. Governor Allen says he is now gathering information to show comparative fluctuations In wheat prices since trading in futures was resumed with figures for the same period in 1919, when wheat futures were not traded in. This information will be furnished in compliance with the request of President Wilson, who has ordered Investigations of boards of trade. “The figures will show,” Governor Allen says, “that comparatively

small quantities of wheat have been marketed this year and the decrease in prices could not have been the natural laws of supply and demand.” An investigation of grain trading in Kansas is under way, according to G. A. Stevens, special agent of the federal trade commission, who has arrived here from Washington and has held a conference with Governor Allen. The governor says he understands the federal trade commission is making an Investigation of grain trading in all the big midwest grain states.
