Political Trend Favors Democrats The latest Gallup poll, which shows that 65 percent of the voters believe the Democratic party will be successful in the 1940 election and that 57 percent of the voters actually prefer to have the Democratic party carry on the Government during the next four years, has brought the doubting Thomases out of their tents.

Where were these doubters, in the rank and file of the riarty? No, these men of little faith were in the upper brackets of the party’s roster; men and women in important jobs and in positions of influence in party affairs. , The first speech Fred Bays, Democratic state chairman, made after his appointment reflected his complete confidence in the outcome in 1940 when he said:

“There is nothing the matter with the rank and file of the Democratic party. We are proud of the leadership and of the program of our party. Our trouble is with ourselves, with the men and women in the upper brackets of the party.” ' The Gallup poll bears out the contention of the state chairman, oozing pessimism and cynicism, lent encouragement to he Republicans following the last congressional elections, the results of which these Democrats have only themselves to blame. As far as Indiana is concerned, war news cannot be given credit for this reversal of sentiment. The credit goes to the inspiring leadership of the State Chairman and his refreshing political philosophy, for long before the war, Indiana sulkers were doffing their mourning robes and hitting the sawdust trail in the revival of Democratic enthusiasm.

New Program Planned For Township Meetings

Prizes of several hundred dollars valuation will be give nto township Farm Bureau leaders who report the greatest attendance in local meetings during November, December, January and February, according to Mrs. Lillie D. Scott, state Social and Educational Jeader. New program material provided by the state organization is so planned that local dramatic clubs, churches and musical organizations will be used to make up the programs. ““This series of new programs is designed to incorporate the talents ©of more local people, as it is generally known that participation is an incentive to support any movement,”’ states Mrs. Scott.

‘“For many yegrs much effort and expense have been put forth to educate our farm people, and now we are ready to display the results of this intensive work. Since the Farm Bureau meetings are open to the public and have much to do regarding community problems, it is hoped that nonmembers and their families attend and participate in the activities. Reports of local Farm Bureau activities indicate the 875 township meetings scheduled for the month of November will attract 150,000 persons. The grand prizes will be awarded winning township leaders at the annual meeting of the Social and Educational department February 28 and 29 at In‘dianapolis.

~ “Everlasting Punishment” w&s“ the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday October 29, | The Golden Text was: *‘“Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and g new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?” (Ezekiel 18:31). Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon from the following from ¢the Bijble: “Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a .

By WALTER A. SHEAD The Republican party made its first big splash with a parade and barbecue at the ';aow"’@iﬁ%% state fairo k) grounds. It was i@ | a long parade. i The feed con- . B R sisted of a dab ."l of baked beans L e and one sandY wich to a cus- . 28 tomer. &é% g‘t\’ié&”}? Homer E. v %%g*f Capehart knows MR about that. He WALTER A. SHEAD Was in the line‘up waiting for his beans and sandwich. He bargained with the lady dishing out the food that since he didn’t want the beans, might he have two sandwiches.

“The orders are one sandwich to a person,” the lady advised the capitalist. Homer Capehart took it in good grace, but muttered something about it being a pretty costly sandwich for him. You see, Mr. Capehart is said to have put out about $15,000 for the G. O. P. party, so for him, it was a $15,000 sandwich.

But with the big crowd and the brilliant array of speakers gathered for the meeting, Indiana voters had a right to expect something definite in the way of a party program, - % ® *®

There was Dr. Glenn Frank, chairman of the program committee of the Republican National Committee. He said nothing about a program, even a contemplated program for the old guard. There was Assemblyman Wadsworth of New York, son of an outstanding New Deal critic. He said nothing about what the Republicans intended to adopt in place of the Democratic program.

Mr. Wadsworth said that everything the New Deal had done was wrong and then justified his opposition by saying that “no government can long survive without opposition and the free expression of disagreement.” But he just disagreed and opposed, without saying what he would do about the whole thing. et

Then there was Publisher Gannett, of Rochester, New York, owner of a chain of ad-ministration-baiting newspapers. Publisher Gannett has assumed the role of a one-man critic of the democratic program, taking up where the Liberty League left off. But Mr. Gannett’s newspapers recently carried special ads concerning the prosperity which has come to the nation. He criticized, but offered the people no hope, insofar as the Republican party is concerned, of a better program.

Last, but not least, was Mr. Capehart, who was chosen as Indiana’s Republican favorite son for the presidency, very likely because he is footing the bills of the Republicans these days. But Mr. Capehart was at least definite. He was definite that the Republican party does not have a program, has no leadership and is even uncertain of its principles, Here’s what he said:

“Let’s be sure we know that we are fighting for the right prin. ciples. When we are sure of that, then somewhere in the Republican party is the man who will be the most effective exponent of those principles.”

Here’s Indiana’s outstanding Republican leader not even sure of his party’s principles, and admitting it. Here’s Indiana’s outstanding Republican leader admitting his party has no leadership, but that if and when they become sure they have the right principles, somewhere and somehow they might find a leader who will stand on those principles. Isn’t that pitiful?

Out of all the reams of copy and the words, words, words, uttered by these so-called Republican leaders gathered in Indianapolis there was not one single construective sentence or thought expressed. Indiana voters, who were listening in, deserved better than that. = :

A record-number of Hoosier nimrods will take to the fields Friday, November 10, for the opening of the 1939 hunting season, Virgil! M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Conservation, predicted today.

Cottontail rabbits, Bob-White Quail and cock pheasants will provide sport for the army of hunters in all parts of the state while in some areas the nimrods will also have a chance to add Hungarian partridge to their bag. Hen pheasants, prairie chicken, wild turkey, ruffed grouse, chukar partridge and doves are protected by law. ; Hoosier hunters must observe a daily bag limit of ten rabbits during the open season which begins Nov. 10 and ends Jan. 10, 1940; a daily bag limit of 10 quails during the season which extends from Nov. 10 to Dec. 20; a daily bag limit of five Hungarian partridge in the season from Nov. 10 to Dec. 20, and a daily bag limit of two cock pheasants in the six days of hunting—Nov, 10, 11, 13 14, 15 anq 16, :

Farm Bureau to Honor : Organization Founders

One of the outstanding features on the program of the annual Indiana Farm Bureau convention, to be held November 15, 16 and 17 at Indjanapolis, will be the honoring of those who have been members of the organization since its beginning twenty years ago, accordig to Hassil E. Schenck, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau, Inc. “These faithful persons have received but little monetary consideration for their many years of service as township and county leaders. At present more than 1,600-have been registered in the ‘Twenty Year Membership Club’, and by the convention date, the ‘membership will Ilikely ' reach 2,000. Provisions are being rap--lidly completed to accommodate all of these leaders during the threeday conventjon.

‘“While credit and recognition will be given the older leaders, the Rural Youth members will be accorded the same cordial welcome,, a 8 they will take time from their first annual meeting since their state organization to take charge of the first afternoon’s program of the Farm Bureau Convention.

Indiana, laws provide that all hunters must have a license (issued by county clerks and agents. at a fee of $1.50) and must 'havel this license in their possession while hunting. It is a violation of the law to hunt on the lands of another without permission; to shoot game birds or animals along, upon or across any public highway; to hunt or shoot rabbits with or by means of an artificial light; to use or possess a silencer while hunting; and to buy or sell any quail, Hungarian partridge, pheasant, ruffed grouse, prairie chicken or chukar partridge. - Reports indicate ' a greater abundance of quail, rabbits and pheasants in most parts of the state this year than at the opening of the hunting season in any recent year. Favorable weather conditions during the breeding and nesting seasons, the libergtion of approximately a hundred thousand gquail and pheasants, and progress in providing better food and shelter condjtions for wildlife, are credited with this increase.

fore it was over. There was no reason for this belief except this country’s experience in the last war, but it was none the less a |real and sincere belief that most | people held. In the two months that have elapsed there certainly has bepn no development of any war sentiment. Even the loss of Amerlcﬁn Hves in the Athenia disaster and later the seizure of an American ship by the Germans has brought no demands for reprisal. These incidents have not m:%e our feelings toward the Germin government any more cordial, but what we still want above all eﬂ;e is to avoid another such expel;fi-\ ence as we had in 1917 and 1918, And the belief that we shall be able to keep out of the war is rapidly growing.
