NATIONAL LLtCIION 10 Bl NtlU TUESDAY Hotly Contested Campaign Will Be Decided When People Vote Convictions Next Tuesday. On next Tuesday, Nov. 6, will occur the national election which will place in the office of the president of the United States, the highest honor within 'the gift of the American people, either Herbert Hoover or Alfred Smith. The campaign has been a vigorous one with both presidential candidates taking very active parts in it Iby filling many speaking engagements in all quarters of the nation. Not only have both candidates traveled far and spoken in person to huge audiences, but there is hardly a voter anywhere who has not felt the personality of both candidates as he or she has heard their spoken voices over the radio. The issues are definite and the candidates are far apart in their “stands” on the same. The unusual interest created in the national election has overshadowed somewhat the interest in the local county election though some of the county candidates have been waging a strong fight for their offices. The following candidates are to be voted on here. For President. Herbert Hoover, Rep. Alfred Smith, Dem. For Governor. Harry G. Leslie, Rep. Frank C. Dailey, Dem. For U. S. Senator. Arthur R. Robinson, Rep. Albert Stump, Dem. For U. S. Congress. A. J. Hickey, Rep. Chester Perkins, Dem. For State Representative (3) Wm. Calvert, E. J. Bouchard and A. B. Bernhardt, Rep. S . J. Nyikos, Bert McClellan and John Gapeszyreski, Dem. For State Senator. Frank South worth, Rep. George Sands, Dem. For County Treasurer Geo. A. Swintz, Rep. Duncan Campbell, Dem. For Prosecutor. Harry Taylor, Rep. Samuel Swartz. Dem. For Sheriff. Thomas Good rick, Rep. John K. Smogor, Dem. For Coroner. C. B. Crumpacker, Rep. James McMeel, Dem. For Surveyer. Philip R. Gillin, Rep. R. J. Lang, Dem. Commissioner Eastern District. C. Del Hildebrand, Rep. Roy C. Eger, Dem. Real Scrap Billed Saturday Afternoon A real football game between two evenly matched teams is to be staged at the high school field, in South Bend, Saturday afternoon when the Michigan City team meets the Bears. Both teams have defeated LaPorte this year and both have had very successful seasons. A keen rivalry between the two schools will add to the determination of each to win.

Rialto Theatre, Walkerton, Tuesday night, Nov. 6, election nie-ht, after regular show starting at 7:15 with Billy Dove in. ‘ The Night Watch.” Special picture for 9:15 and 11:30 shows is “Bringing Up Father.” Good comedy after each show. Election returns at 9:15 and 11:30 shows, by radio, furnished by Carter Drug Store. Admission to each show loc and 25c. wnl. FOR STATE SENATOR In considering who they will support Nov. 6 for the state legislature the name of Frank S. Southworth should be given serious thought. Voting for members of the Indiana legislature is by no means a merely passing duty. It is not to be done . lightly, with no knowledge of the person voted for and no thought as to the consequences of such a vote. Selecting a person for legislative duties is a very serious matter and a mistake is easily made. However, a vote for Mr. Southworth will be a vote safely placed; a vote cast with a feeling that confidence is being placed in one worthy of it and one who will give a satisfactory account of his stewardship as the senator from Marshall and St. Joseph counties. Mr. Southworth, a resident of Plymouth, is one of that city’s most successful business men. He has built a good business of wide range from a modest beginning, an accomplishment possible only by close application, untiring energy, fair dealing and business ability. His business success and his high standing in business church and other circles stamp Mr. Southworth as a man who, as state senator, will perform official duties on a business basis and do his best to look after the welfare not only of Marshall and St. Joseph counties but of the entire state. Indiana needs men of Mr. Southworth’s type in its legislative chambers. More of them would be to the state’s credit and the state’s benefit. With the opportunity, then, to give Indiana such a legislator the voters of St. Joseph county and of Marshall county should make the opportunity count when they go to the polls Nov. 6 byvoting for Frank S. Southworth. South Bend Tribune. Adv. Your vote will count. Vote early next Tuesday.

WALKERTON, INDIANA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1928

NOTES Os INTEREST FROM OUR SCHOOL The government class is having an interesting time in making straw vote maps of the U. S. tj show which of the states will go for Hoover and which for Smith in the coming election. The decision in each ease is based on three of the more important straw votes being conducted in the county, one of which is the Literary Digest poll. Mrs. Babcock, of the Anti Tuberculosis League, of South Bend, is conducting a nutrition class in our school every Thursday. She has organized a health contest between the boys and the girls of the 7th and Sth and 9th. grades. The object of the contest is to promote proper health habits. Josephine Bierly was elected secretary of the Health Work for the girls and William Vermillion for the boys. The contest will cover a period of twelve weeks. The new stage curtain, side wings and back drop have been completed and were used during the Fall Festival. The school is very proud of | them and is grateful to the mer- ; chants who made them possible. There are now 2 5 pupils studying , band instruiments and playing in the school band. New members include Edith Kline, Robt. Cripe, Wayne Walter, Harriet Kline, Russell Brinley, Robt. Alwald, Thos. Wolfe. Claude Beiter, Carl Kiser and Robt. Reeder. Mr. Barber, director of the Palace Theatre orchestra. South Bend will be in the school every Friday morning to give private instructions in violin. About ten students have expressed a desire for the work. The Fall Festival players gave a one-act play before the school assembly Monday morning, which was greatly appreciated by alt Twenty-seven babies were examined at the Baby Clinic held in the school last Thursday. SCHOOL POLICY The present basketball season is now upon us. We are looking forward to a very enjoyable year as we are setting our stakes to win the county honors again this year. A resolution was passed last year by the County Athletic Association which made arrangements for the girls teams of the county to play each other two games during the season and that the team winning the highest percentage of games should receive the cup which was formerly given to the winners of the girls tournament. We see in this arrangement that there will be an increase of interest in the indbidaul games of each school. We feel that the boys and girls who play on these teams are to be the representatives of our school land community in other communities, and it therefore means that the ■ students who play on the teams I should represent the high standards jof intelligence and citizenship for iwhich the school itself stands. The teams then are to be picked from I the best players of that group. Athletics are a part of our educational , | program and the students should learn principles of character and sportsmanship there as well as in the class room or study hall. With । these ideas in mind we commend our ; [games to the community this season of 192 8-29 and solicit your co-opera-tion and support in making them ■ successful. Our policy this year is to place । the games within reach of all students in the school. We desire that every student in school should attend these games if at all possible. In onr regular schedule we have eight home games. The tickets this year j ■will sell for $2.00 for adults and SI.OO for all students, whether grades or high school. We wish to express again our appreciation for the hearty co-opera-tion of the community in helping us put over our athletic program and hope that when the students come to call on you to sell their tickets that they may receive the same ready response as they have received in former years. The first games are at North Liberty Friday night, boys and girls. Me are expecting a good crowd to accompany the teams.

HALEOWE’EN FKOLIE ENJOYED BY MANY — Ohl am! Young \ ie With Each Other To See Which Can Have Most Eun. Prizes Awarded "Forget your dignity, park your gloom, Tis time to ride on the Witche's Broom!” Old and young alike caught the spirit of the above lines last night and made the annual Walkerton Hallowe’en Frolic a gay time for everybody. Witches, ghosts, goblins—everything that goes to make up a good Hallowe en party—were much in evidence on the streets and in the parade and it kept the poor judges in an awful quandry to know how and where to award the prizes rightly. The evening started with the big parade formed at the school house. At the appointed time, headed by the band, the army of “funny folks” moved up the street ! n single file, to pass the unannounced judges who were to pick the “bes* of the best.” And it was some difficult task' Howevf i. after rn’ic'' careful consid- , eration, the following awards were made, the prizes given being gifts of Walkerton merchants.

How Much Do You Know About The Election? The followng questions concerning the 1928 election, are a part of j a list of questions prepared by Supt. B. A. Sweigart, of tne Walkerton school, for his class in Government. * Look them over carefully and see how many you can answer correctly. What is suffrage? What are the legal qualifications h for a voter in Indiana? Name the offices that you will vote I 1 for this coming election. How many ballots will be placed I 1 in the hands of the voters? Who has charge of the election for the state of Indiana? Who has charge of the election for St. Joseph County? Who has charge of the election • for your Township or your town? Who is responsible for the elec-1 tion, or what goes on in the voting j I place? What officials constitute the local i election board? How are they selected? Who represents the different political parties at the voting place? V. hat are the duties of the different members of the election board? What time do the poils open? Who opens the polls? What time do they close? What is done with the ballots after they have been counted? What is done with the unused ballots? The r<nci!s? The elecproperty? What salary or wage do the members of the election board receive? Who is tne presidential elector for the 13th District? What are the boon la ies for the precinct in which you li.e’ Must voters in this state register) in order to vote? If a citizen is confined by illness,' is it possible for him to vote? Is electioneering permitted in or near the polling place? Are you permitted to take another person into the voting booth with you < when marking your ballot? Who counts the votes after the ■ polling places are closed? Are women allowed to serve on the ■election board? Vote Early Nov. 6. The vote that will be cast in the election on next Tuesday, Nov. 6,1 will in all probability be the largest vote cast in a national election for many years. The issues are out- j standing, the two presidential candi-I dates are poles apart in their ideas ; and principles of government and more interest has been taken in the । election because of certain features i injected into it regarding religion, prohibition and farm relief, so that j nearly every citizen finds himself i anxious to express his convictions on some one or more of these matters. A large vote is a certainty. The following suggestions may i be timely and helpful for all voters: I 1. Go early to the polls. 2. You are eligible to vote November 6, whether you voted at the primary election or not. One does' not need to register in this state. 3. Do not expect to find the names ' of Hoover or Smith on the ticket; i one votes for electors. 4. You are entitled to vote if you jhave been in Indiana six months, in ’ the county 60 days, and in the precinct 30 days. This year the presidential ballot may depend upon which way won en vote. They are taking an active part in the campaign, anj it is expected that they I .will go to the polls in greater numjbers than ever before. ’ Clean Rooters The Hi-Y club of North Liberty i High School has taken the initiative i in fostering the spirit of clean sportsI manship on the parts ui rooters who attend their basket-ball games j this year. The boys are of the iopinion that most of the trouble belt ween teams and schools is the re- । suit of poor rooting and not due to the players on the teams. i The North Liberty Hi-Y club, in order to promote clean rooting will I supply each rooter with a tag printed. "I am a Clean Rooter for North Liberty, win or Lose.” These will ( be worn gy the pupils at all games. A supply of the tags has also been ! prepared for the Walkerton rooters, printed in Walkerton High School i colors and reading. “I am a Clean ' Rooter for Walkerton. Win or Lose.” ■ These will be given out at the two schools in time for the opening game Friday night. x ^^hange Bns Route Beginning Sunday.
