A REPUBLICAN DUTY

The Indianapolis News which hag never supported a Democratic candidate for President and only once in forty years a Democratic candidate for Gqvernor had the following editorial recently. “The Republicans of Indiana have such a chance as rarely in this tangled and muddled world come to men. Rather there are two chances—one to serve the commonwealth in a great way, and the other to restore the party in this state which we must assume they love, to its high estate and make it again as it was not so long ago worthy of the confidence of the people. They know that their party in Indiana as it is now officered and led, is not the party whose candidates in other days they took pride in supporting. It is today dominated in state affairs by an organization of selfish and selfseeking factions serving only themseleves one about. as bad as the other.

“It is only through the defeat of those factions that the foundation can be laid for true republicanism in Indiana. The triumph of those factions would postpone the day of redemption and might even make its dawning impossible. There is thus a twofold debt which the Indiana Republicans owe. One to the State of Indiana and the other to their pa:ty. They can discourage both by voting for Frank Dailey for Governor and Hoover for President. Without the help of Republicans Mr. Dailey as he has frankly admitted can not be elected. Both the welfare of the state and that of the Republican panty demand he be elected. His defeat would strengthen the selfish factions that are now in control of the Republican organization that seek to continue that control and that have done much to discredit the Republican party. “Party pride of itself ought to insure a heavy Republican vote for Mr. Dailey. The appeal in short is to all good citizens to combine and co-op-erate in this election to destroy conditions that are disgraceful and must be felt to have become intolerable.”

Albert Stump Heard by Women

Pleading for a readjustment of goverment economic policies in favor of the American farmer and stating that honest enforcement o fthe prohibition laws of the nation will automatically bring about corrections of most of the defects complained of Albert Stump, of Indianapolis democratic nominee for United States senator delivered a forceful address before a meeting of about 200 women under the auspices of the St. Joseph County Democratic Women'’s club.

Declaring that present governmental policies if pursused will bring about the eventual collapse of industrial prosperity Mr. Stump asserted that the flaw in present policies iies in its ignoring of the welfare of industry’s best customer the farmer.

The Banner learns by an announcement receiced that a son Harry Wagner Gilbert was born in South Bend ‘Thursday September 20 to Mr. and Mrs. Lisle Gilbert. The happy father is a son of Harry Gilbert of this city,

Many Prominent Men Throughout Nation Break Life-Long Party Ties. : - Hundreds of life-long Republicans, ‘many of them of national prominence, are swelling each day the vast army of voters who believe that it is the duty 'of every thinking American to support Governor Smith. o Among the most recent of leading Republicans who have publicly repudiated the Republican candidate is Rudolph Spreckels, widely known .banker and business man of San Francisco, owner of huge sugar plantations in Hawaii, and formerly a close friend and adviser of President . Roosevelt. Another influential Republican to declare for Smith is Spencer Penrose of Colorado, mining engineer and brother of the late Senator Boise Penrose, Republican leader in Pennsylvania.

! Promlinent Financial Figures One Republican of considerable consequence who has just declared for Governor Smith is W. B. Hibbs of Virginia, president of W. B. Hibbs and Co., bankers, of Washington, D. C. Two prominent New Jersey Republicans, John J. Stamler, president of the Broad and Market National Bank and Trust Co., of Newark, and Uzal H. McCarter, president of the Fidelity Union Trust Co., of Newark, announced last week that they will support Governor Smith. Another Republican banker to join the campaign to elect the Democratie candidate is De Lancey Kountz, Chairman of the Board of Devoe and Raynolds Co., of New York, Western Farm Leaders. Frank W. Murphy, chairman of the Legislative Committee of the Corn Belt Federation of Farm Organizations, and a member of the Minnesota delegation to the Republican Convention, has renounced allegiance to his party and repudiated Hoover as “an enemy of the farmer.” Other farm I%aders to bolt the Republican party “were Governor Adam McMullen, Republican Executive of Nebraska, and L. F. Shuttleworth, of Indianapolis, former head of the pur,chasing comniittee of the Indifima Federation of Farm- Bureaus.

“YOUTH EXDANGERED”

PHILADELPHIA.—James F. Lucas, vice president of the Lucas Paint and Brush Company of Philadelphia, a . well-known Republican for fifty years, ‘has announced that he is “opposed to fhypocrisy” and, accordingly, opposed "to the election of Herbert Hoover. He added: : . “I shall vote for Governor Smith because I believe his election would end ,eonditions which are endangering the future of the younger generation.”

DANIELS REBUKES STRATON

RALEIGH, N. C.—Rebuking Dr. :John Roach Straton for expressing _the belief that “my old friend,” "Josephus Daniels, would bolt the Democratic party, the former Sec‘retary of the Navy has again empha--tically declared, in a letter to the New York pastor, that he will support Governor Smith. Mr. Daniels wrote: © “I believe I can serve ‘the cause of prohibition and temperance better by remaining In my party than by supporting Mr. Hoover, who sat in the Cabinet with Harding with all the corruption and with Coolidge with all the favoritism—the two administrations, which, by flagrant failure to enforce .the law or to give it legal and moral support, have done more to harm prohibition than its open foes.” :

W.C.T. U. WORKER FOR SMITH EKNOXVILLE, Tenn.,—Mrs. Lucy Reed, member of the W. C. T. U. for thirty years and an active prohibition worker, is an ardent supporter of. Governor Smith. As a genuine Dry she dislikes the illegal “wetness” of the Republican party, she says; and she adds that Governor Smith “is honest and will enforce the laws.” =~ - J.

RASKOB URGES " JWOMEN TO VOTE

Points Out Gov. Smith’s Welfare ~ Record, "His Legislation in Y - Behalf of Women.

ALL HAVE RIGHT TO BALLOT

* (This s the second of a series of - campaign discussions by John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic NaTHonal Committee.) By JOHN J. RASKOB Never before has a campaign pre‘sented issues of such vital importance to the wives and mothers of the nation. The American home should be represented in full voting strength at the polls. . ‘ : The nation in normal times makes tremendous demands upon the Amerfcan woman. In times of stress the country calls upon its womanhood to rick a surrender of future happiness. American womanhood can protect the home against unworthy officials By choosing worthy ones on election day. : The woman’s viewpoint has become essential to the peaceful prosperity of .the nation. This viewpoint can only , be translated into national action by the exercise on the part of the women of their voting right. In the 1920 election only 37 per cent ‘of the popular _vote was registered by the women. More than half of the women of vot.ing age refrained from casting thcir ballots. ; A particular appeal is being directed by both parties to the women for their votes. The Democrats are basing their appeal on the social welfare record of Governor Alfred E. Smith, the Presi’dential nominee. His accomplishments in behalf of women in industry, +in the flelds and in the homes, the mothers and future mothers of our - people, testify to his sincere regard . for the home. : The Republican campaign among the women consists largely of subtle, whispered suggestions concerning social and religious distinctions.

Foreign-Born Women

The foreign-born woman married to an American citizen from whom Amerioa has the right to make all demands for services in time of peace and war, must not be deprived of her vote due to lack of information as to her rights. The laws of the country affect her home to the same extent as any other. There are over one million foreignborn women who are entitled to vote. It has been brought to my attention that election boards in some sections ~of the country are refusing to register ‘such women on the ground that they are not citizens. >

It should be understood that any woman, who, prior to September 22, 1922, married a citizen is a citizen of the United States by the very fact of her marriage. Further, any foreignborn woman who becamse a citizen of the United States by marriage retains her citizenship though divog’;ed or peparated from her husband, as long as she resides in the United States. ~ Election officials should be fully acquainted with the laws in relation to citizenship, and those who have barred foreign-born citizens from reg{stering on that ground have committed a grievous wrong.

Offers Aid

The Democratic National Committes is prepared to answer all questions on this topic and attention will be given to each individual case so that the foreign-born women will be fully in” formed of their rights. I will welcome letters addressed to me personally by women who have been denied registration and I will see that such cases are completely answered by the lawyers’ committee of the Democratic National Committee. ’ The voting right is one of the highest privileges of citizenship, and no woman should have any sense of embarragssment about registering and voting. The vote came to our women ‘after one of the greatest political cru'sades in the history of the world. The vote has a value to every woman. Properly cast, it means a better home protected by a better government. It is at the same time a high civic duty and an important privilege. To vote is elevating, not degrading. Do not be ashamed or afraid to vote. Let your home express itself in the affairs of the nation. See that you are on the Registration List -so that you will be eligible to vote on Election Day. .
