VOTE NEAT TUESDAY 10 GLEAN HOUSE
BANISH WITH YOUR BALLOT THE . CORRUPTION IN THE STATE < OF INDIANA.
Claims of Bipartism ecorruption Will Not Justity the Casting of a . Partisan Ballot.
When Ligonier and Noble. county voters approach the polls Tuesday, November 6th, they should do so with the™ full consciousness that there is more at stake than the success of their party candidates. ' The political history of Indiana for the past eight years has been made familiar to a#. not by honorable achievement ' but rather tlhe reverse. The claim of the hide-bound = republican s that both parties are corrupt as a means of justification for voting his party ticket_is not enough. It happens that the political forces in supromd power in Indiana . for the
past eighi vears were given their place and authority by republican voters and that party is responsible for the acts of its agents, With one governor an ex-conviet and another at liberty only by alegislative act fixing a legal limitation tor penal " punishment, with mfluy other high .in the party councils discredited, d'isgrace brought upon the state by their criminal acts, it is a puni' time to plead tor party regularity and party support. The republican candidates for state office were put Torward by the same corrupt fofes that have disgraced the state for a period of eight long vears and in the event of their success at thie polls next Tuesday, what assurance has the voter that the corrupt and disgraceful methods will not continue? :
It is not enough to dismiss the subject with the declaration that bothf parties are corrupt. - . What can be urged in criticism against the last two administrations by the democrats? s What corruption found to urge against the Marshall and Ralston administrations? . - o Not a whisper. : In the face of facts the claim of corruptiion cqually divided betw en? the political parties in Indiana is i\n—fair and fooiish. - The onlvy way a return to honest state goveinment has a chance is by support ¢f tLe democratic ticket. This is a matter which should appeal to honesy voters of all parties. As a stockholder in a corvporation whose officers disclosed - dishonesty and deception you would be prompt to vote their dismissal. e You are a stockholder im the corporation of Imdiana and -the acts of 4ts officers affect the whole people of the state. ' / e ‘Lay aside your partisanship next Tuesday and vote to clean house in Indiana. : : i " It is a duty you owe to yvour neighbors and to yourself. . “Ramona’y, a Triumph. _ Brilliant, glamorous, pictorial, seintillant with romantic charm, v--prant and dramatic .tensity, dynamic in its emotional moments, poignant in its bitter tragedy—that is “Ramona’’ presented at the Crystal theatre, next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. o - “Ramona’ is a screen triumph. Its
continuity, direction, acting, photog-% raphy and scenic vestment stamp it as one of the finest, most artistic pictures &ver produced. L ; The classic love story by Helen Hunt Jackson has been masterly directed by George Carewe. The noted director has ‘caught the romantic spirit of California in the colorful days of the Spanish Don, and he has faithfully brought to life on the screen t}%e beloved characters of the, book. Kicked By Horse. Rush Cunningham the well known Hawpatch . farmer is confined to his bed suffering injuries from a kick in the body by a horse Wednesday. Dr. Shobe the attending physician pronounces the injuries quite serious.
~ Poultry te Chicago. - Joe Miller sends two auto truck loads of poultry to the Chicago market every week. By doing his own transporting he saves much of the charge “by express and this enables him ¢ pay a higher price for fowls. ¢ Mueh Mjlk Recelved. The volume of milk received ‘at the " Ligohier' creamery is increasing daily and the price for milk has been advanced in keeping with the highey gelling price of butter. 7 Opening of Fur. Season. -The fur season opens ‘November 19 ~ and Noble county trappers will be busy from the opening date on. A large number of fur bearing animals are caught each year in Woble county
