GRAY PREPARED TO FACE ISSUE ON HIS RECORD

"The political situation la the Sixth district appears satisfactory so far as mjr candidacy Is concerned, Judging front reports I nave received from my supporters in the various counties," Rep. Flnljr H. Gray, Democratic- candidate for congressman, said today, while in Richmond. "This is a harder campaign than any other I have engaged in, but I am not worrying over the outcome of the election," he added. "Since I last made the race for congress, two years ago, there has been an entirely new political alignment. "Two years ago the Progressive party was a political factor in the Sixth district. What the Progressive vote does this year . remains to be seen. It will decide the outcome of the election. I realize the fact that tinder normal conditions this is a Republican district, but I do not know whether there has been a return to normal conditions. Campaigns on Record "I have made this campaign squarely on my record in congress. I am satisfied to let the people decide at the polls whether I have represented them worthily and whether I deserve to be returned to congress." Rep. Gray spea!:3 twice In Henry ccunty tonight, at Spiceland at 7:00 o'clock and at Lewisvllle at 8:00 o'clock. Tuesday night he speaks at Rushville'. x Wednesday night he concludes his Wayne county campaign with a speech at the Hurst opera house, Cambridge City at 7:30. Thursday night he speaks at Liberty and at Laurel on Friday niRht. He does not know when he will speak Suturday night to close his campaign. GREAT VICTORY FOR COMSTOCK, IS PREDICTION The beginning of the final week of the campaign finds Walter Bossert, Republican chairman of the Sixth district, absolutely confident of a sweeping Republican victory in the district. Great interest is shown in the congressional contest in each of the eight counties and Chairman Bossert today, after perusing the latest reports received from the various county chairmen, declared that Judge Comstock, the Republican congressional nominee, would come into Wayne county on election day with a majority of several hundred, and that the anticipated majority he. would receive in Wayne, his home county, would make his total majority over Finly H. Gray, the Democratic nominee, a most impressive one. Three Counties Doubtful While Chairman Bossert is still claiming Comstock majorities in every county with the exception of Shelby, other G. O. P. organization leaders are placing Franklin, Shelby and Hancock counties in the doubtful list and conceding possible Gray majorities in each one, but greatly reduced majorities. Henry county, the reports indicate, will go heavily Republican with Comstock one of the ticket leaders. Fayette county, the home of Mr. Gray, will also return a very satisfactory majority for Comstock and the remainder of the Republican ticket. Union", the smallest county in the district, will return at least a 300 majority for Comstock unless all signs fail, G. O. P. managers assert, and Rush county will occupy its usual place on the G. O. P. bandwagon. The substitute for absinthe in Greece is a liquor known as mastica.

LUTHERAN CHURCHES UNITE IN SERVICES

. In remembrance of the Reformation, special services were held in St. Paul's and the First and Second English Lutheran churches yesterday. Each church held special services In the morning and the day's celebration culminated with a union service in the First Lutheran church last night. "The Man Who Nailed the NinetyFive Theses to the Door of the Old Castle Church at Wittenburg," was the theme of the sermon delivered by Dr. Tressler, Hamma divinity school. Springfield, O. Dr. Neve, also of the Hamma divinity school, delivered a sermon in German. POLICE INTERFERE WHEN 2 STUDENTS DISCUSS POLITICS Sam Blythe, political writer for the Saturday Evening Post, says every native Hoosier begins to take interest id politics while in the cradle. Blythe probably would have been greatly interested in a street political discussion Saturday night, Incited by a high school student, a rabid Republican, and an Earlham freshman, an enthusiastic Democrat, terminating in a free-for-all gabfest. The crowd finally became so large that two policemen dispersed it with considerable difficulty. Then the two boys adjourned to a nearby cigar store to finish their discussion. WILL START THISWEEK Season of 1916-17 basketball at Richmond high schools opens officially this week with the launching of the Intra mural leagues tonight the "ComeBack" banquet Wednesday evening and the opening Spiceland-Richmond game Friday night.

RICHMOND BOASTS LOWER TAX RATES THAN CAMBRIDGE

The total tax rate in Cambridge City for 1917, is $3.48.' This is eighteen cents higher than the total tax rate for the city of Richmond, which is $3.30. . This rate, made known this morning along with those of all other Jackson township corporations by County Auditor Bowman, is a forty-seven cent advance over the 1916 rate. Farmers in Jackson township will have to pay $2.02 on each $100 assessments. The Fate for 1916 was $1.58. Dublin's tax rate also took a jump to $3.28. The 1916 rate was $2.81. The 1916 rate for East Germantown was $1.48, but for 1917 the citizens must pay $2.00. Mt. Auburn's rate advanced from $1.78 to $2.25. The National road improvements through Jackson township for which bonds have been sold and the cost of the extra work through the towns is responsible for the increase. SERUM BRANCH TO OPEN HERE Storage arrangements probably will be made this week to last for the winter for the Continental Serum Laboratories. It was announced today by A. L. Higgins, laboratory field representative, that he expects to make Richmond the center for hog cholera and other serums for Indiana and Ohio. Temperature in established storage places is not right for keeping serums, Mr. Higgins said. The temperature should-be between 40 and 50 degrees. The serums cannot be frozen, he said. He had expected to find a fruit stor age house here with facilities for handling the laboratory products, but failed. There is a possibility of the establishment later of a branch laboratory here, should business develop into sufficient proportions. This would mean, Mr. Higgins said, the establishment of a complete laboratory, as a branch would be a duplication of the main laboratory. The banana takes the place of cereals in the dietary of the natives of much of South America and parts of India and Africa. NOTHING WRINKLES FADES OR SHRINKS Women save $5 In an hour by dry cleaning everything with gasoline. Dry cleaning at home is all the rage here, says a well known down-town druggist. Any woman can do five dollars' worth of dry cleaning at home at very little cost by dissolving two ounces of solvite in two gallons of gasolln; then Immerse the articles to be cleaned; rub a little and In a few moments the gasoline evaporates and the articles cleaned look bright and fresh as new. . Dry clean your own silk waists, dresses, ribbons, belts, kid gloves, satin shoes, evening slippers, fine laces, net work, woolens, dresses, children's coats, furs, veils, neckties, shawls, gentlemen's garments, fancyvests, lace curtains, rugs, In fact, everything that would be ruined by washing with soap and water. Nothing will fade, shrink or wrinkle, making pressing unnecessary. Dry cleaning at home is inexpensive and Iffects a tremendous saving In the household and is really just as easy as laundering. Any druggist will sell two ounces of solvite which is simply a gasoline soap and your grocer or a garage will supply the gasoline. Then a wash boiler or dispan completes the outfit. Adv.

IMPRESSIVE RITES FEATURE CATHOLIC CEREMONY SUNDAY

The annual blessing for the dead was pronounced yesterday afternoon by Father F. A. Roell at St. AndrewB church while hundreds of church members stood around with bared beads. It was one of the most impressive All Souls' day observances ever held. The weather was ideal. Bells were tolling as the procession of school children, uniformed Knights of St. John and church members left St. Andrews church on the long march. The procession encircled the cemetery, the leaders meeting those in the rear and forming a chain around the burial grounds. The male choir sang hymns at intervals between various parts of the service. The sermon and blessing were delivered by Father Roell. FAILS TO GET JOB SO ENDS HIS LIFE CHICAGO, Oct. 30. J. H. Leslie, 60, was dead of poison when his landlady went to call him early today that he might resume his fruitless search for work. In a closet in his room police found all the paraphernalia for counterfeiting and half a dozen bogus coins that would not have deceived anyone.
