VOTE for Davis for Decency. >
MUST PERSHING go back to France to 9ay, “Lafayette, we are here,
but we have quit?”
WHO nominated Ora Davies, the treasurer who went short in Howard
County, the Republicans of Indiana or the Severin bosses?
THE SAME SPIRIT that locked the voting machine at the League of
Nations headquarters insists that you must approve of the Goodrich ad
ministration.
WILL YOU PAY more taxes under a Republican administration or
will you elect a Democrat to the prosecutor’s office who will stop the waste
of public money?
The Tickets Compared
It may be possible for the blind partisans of Indiana to reconcile their
votes with their consciences and support the Republican ticket purely on
party grounds, but it is hardly likely that the women voters, who cast
their first votes this year, will overlook character in determining their
choice.
For Senator, the Republicans nominated James Eli Watson, a pro
fessional office seeker whom the whole country once condemned for his
unsavory connection with Colonel Mulhall, a confessed lobbyist of the most
insidious type. He is opposed by Thomas Taggart, a friend of Indiana
people whose reputation has remained unsullied throughout twenty years
of bitter political warfare.
For Governor, the Republicans nominated Warren T. McCray, a Chi
cago Board of Trade operator, whose claims to be a farmer utterly col
lapsed and whose business record has disclosed him as a betrayer of his
associates and a willing user of methods the Supreme Court of Indiana
pronounces “unconscionable.’’ He is opposed by Dr. Carleton B. McCul
loch, who won his cross in unselfish devotion to the American wounded in
the trenches of France.
For Treasurer, the Republicans nominated Ora Davies, a man who
was short in his accounts as Howard County treasurer and “covered” the
shortage by collusion with a State examiner whose duty it was to expose
him. He Is opposed by George De Horlty, a young man with a clean record
of commercial fidelity acquired in reputable banking circles.
In Marion County the story is the same.
Merrill Moores, doddering about Washington, where he has a record
of nothing e> partisan regularity, was renominated for Representative
and came bacJt to Indianapolis, where he had to be introduced to Senator
Harding, his party’s nominee for President. He Is opposed by Henry
Spaan, a clear-sighted, powerful speaking lawyer with vision to grasp big
problems and the energy to make himself known in the capital.
For prosecutor, the Republicans nominated William P. Evans, turning
down William E. Reilley, a man of ability and courage. Evans is the will
ing deputy of the spineless Claris Adams, the friend of Pop Leppert, boot
legger, and the prosecutor who 6at supinely by and watched the county
*il transformed into a gambling house and a torture chamber. Evans is
today the choice of all the gamblers, election crooks and bootlegging para
sites who ply their nefarious trades at the expense of decency in Indian
apolis. Opposing him is Paul G. Davis, clean to the core, enthusiastic,
capable, more feared by the underworld than any candidate on either ticket
and anxiously awaiting an opportunity to stand between the public treas
ury and the terrific drains upon it that have doubled taxation in the county.
There is no choice between these men that can be reconciled with duty
to the community.
Tuesday, the voters must rebuke the bossism that gave the Repub
lican party its ticket of misfits or admit their inability to place in office
men capable of filling those offices.
The True Hoosier
On Indiana voters Nov. 2 will devolve the duty of conferring a justly
earned and unselfishly sought honor on a man who, for more than forty
years, has been a Hoosier in all that the name implies.
Eliminating entirely the political aspect of this campaign for the honor
of representing Indiana in the Senate there are two reasons why Thomas
Taggart should be elected.
The first reason is that he is more nearly representative of the heart
and character of the people of Indiana than any man today In public life.
The second is that as a Senator he will be most free to serve the people
of this State, for whom he has always shown a supreme willingness to
sacrifice himself and all he has.
Mr. Taggart is a reflection of Hoosier character, inherent ability and
the kindliest spirit that has ever moved man. From obscurity and poverty
he rose to prominence and affluence without leaving behind him a wake of
broken or injured stepping stones.
Men on whom he leaned in early years came to lean on him and they
never found him faltering.
Throughout the whole of his career he has steadily exercised a won
derful faculty for serving others until today the recipients of his cour
tesies and his favors in Indiana form a host that makes of him Its political
Idol.
Last night, in the closing address of his campaign, he said there was
no one for whom he would not rather do a favor.than an injury. It has
ever been thus in his life and that characteristic has made him the most
popular man in Indiana.
In his character, his private life, Mr. Taggart reflects the true Hoosier
type and that in itself ought to be sufficient to bring to him the support
of all who love the State of Indiana.
In the United States Senate Mr. Taggart will have the opportunity to
apply a proved business ability to national affairs as they pertain to Indiana.
His official actions will never be influenced by the effect they may
have on Thomas Taggart, for there exists no desire for further political
honors, no need of commercial gain, and no possibility of pressure from
selfish interests.
Senator Taggart, in Washington, will be free to act in accordance with
his keen perception in the Interests of the people of Indiana whom he
represents.
He does not have to be elected to the United States Senate to stand
head and shoulders above any aspirant for office as a true Hoosier gentle
man, the friend of all Indianians, severally and collectively.
And for the very reason that his life Is dedicated to the helping of
his fellow men, his opportunity to do the most good for them should be
insured Nov. 2.
Concerning Senator Hardin a
Who delves into the records and lives of political candidates must ex
pect no thanks for the performance of a public duty when the results of
his investigation reach the partisan blinded followers of the candidate.
Most of us would rather believe good than evil of our fellow citizens and
to the thoughtless the conferring of a nomination puts a seal of approval
on the character of a nominee.
In days before primaries were consistently corrupted and personal
acquaintance with candidates was general this may have been possible,
but more recently, when thousands of voters must gain their conception of
political aspirants solely through the avenues of publications which are
often swayed by partisan leanings, when possession of the organization
almost always means nomination, the stamp of a primary preference means
little as to character.
I
In this campaign the Republican party nominated Senator Harding
of Ohio, the least preferred of all the Republican candidates for President
who sought Indiana’s support.
His character, sntecedenta and private life were little known to Tn
dianians. They were not exploited in the primaries and it is only in the
last few weeks that the voters of this State have had any facts on which
to base a conclusion as to the nominee’s personal fitness to hold the highest
office in the United States.
Failure on the part of the Republican campaign managers properly to
acquaint the voters with Senator Harding is today more responsible for
rumors concerning him than any other one thing. Where authentic infor
mation is lacking, unauthentic holds full sway and voters cannot be cen
sured if, in the absence of better information, they accept as true that which
is easily available.
WHEN A GIRL MARRIES
A New Serial of Young Married Life
CHAPTER 90 (Continued.)
“Dear Donna Anne, in another moment
you’ll make mo think I'm not welcome,”
said he, chuckling.
I stormed to my feet and confronted
him in wild fury.
“I tried to laugh this oft—to avoid
melodrama,” I cried. "But you Insist
on a scene. All right—let’s have it.
What are you doing In my apartment?
I demand to know. My husband ’
“Oh. yes—your husband!” he smiled
wisely. “I was downstairs when the
operator called the Canteen and reported
that it didn’t answer. I had supper with
Pat tonight. Dined not wisely but too
well. Pat told uie you were working
at the Canteen. Where frleud Carlott."
works. When friend husband calls a
number of his own and then hurries out
a little while after he can’t get the
Canteen I put two and two together
And I or,me up to keep you front getting
lonesome or being afraid. Now, aren't
you ashamed of your Ingratitude?”
"l'ou've been drinking!” 1 cried. “So
I don't suppose you realize how disgust
ing you are—or how Insulting. Now will
you go—or shall I call the operator?"
t'Call the operator? That's good. She's
gone home. Want to take that rough
neck eevator boy Into your confldeuce
about —my calling on you? Don't be so
silly.’’
Tom Mason’s voice steadied now and
took on a deeper tone, more alarming
than his maunderings had been. He laid
his hands on my shoulders and brought
bis face close to mine. I could feel his
hot, dry breath on my cheek as he spoko:
“Don’t be cruel to me, dear. There's
nothing to fear. Naturally as landlord
here, I have duplicate keys, if any one
came in they’d think Just what you did
at first—that I came to see to the plumt
ing.”
“Take your hands off my—dress.’’ I
said tensely, through Jaws that wanted
to quiver.
He laughed and slid his hands down
slowly from shoulders to elbows. The
Intimacy of that touch seared Into my
flesh. All In a mlnuto I knew danger
ously much about the lrnfutlse to kill.
And while I qulTered with rage and dis
taste ut his tonch. he tightened hia vlso
like clutch on my arms and drew me still
closer. I struggled to be free, t lifted
by hands and pounded on his chest. I
fought and snarled In inglorious. Impo

Then Tom Mason’s voice burned tri
umphantly against my cheek.
"And where do you think Jim Is? Have

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
By David Cory.
Now as soon as the boat landed on the
beach, as 1 told you In the last story.
Puss helped the lovely princes to alight,
and then. Just as they were starting off
for the castle, they heard a voice saying,
“Oh, beautiful princess, will you not givo
me tlis little blue flower that grows at
your feet?”
“Who asks mo this favor?" said the
princess, looking arouud to see who had
spoken.'
And then the fish who bad swum at
the bow of the boat lifted his head out
of the water and said, "I, your beautiful
highness.”
So the lovely princess stooped and
plucked the little blue flower and then
she ran down to the water’s edge and
gave it to him. And b soon as he took
it In his mouth he swam up to the shore
and then, wonderful to tell, he turned
into a handsome prince.
And, goodness me, wasn’t the princess
surprised! B ell, 1 Just guess she was.
But Puss wasn’t In the least. Oh, my
no. He had seen so many straoge things
In Fairy Land that nothing surprised
him any more, except, maybe, a mouse
with two heads or a cat without
whiskers.
Then the three started off for the
castle and after they had gone for a
short distance they came to a cross road.
Puss said goodby and went on his way,
although the lovely princess bogged hint
to come with her to her father’s castle.
Well, after he had gone for maybe a
mile or more he saw a boy by a brook
playing on a flute And aa Puss drew
nearer he saw the boy’s feet were those
of a goat. But the music wai so sweet
that Pus* forgot this and aat down
nearby to listen.
“I am Pan, the musical shepherd boy,”
said the lad, and then he commenced
again to play, and pretty soon r. band
of pretty maiden* gathered around to
dance.
“We are the Dryads of the wood,” they
•aid to Pus*, for, of course, they knew
he was puzzled, and that he waa a
stranger
And then they began to sing:
Round and round the laurel bush
We dance and sing today,
We can't keep still by the sparkling
rill
When Pan begins to play.
For he slnga of Bpring and each lovely
thing
That blosennisi each year anew.
So around we go in a whirling row,
Under the aky of blue."
And in the next story you shall hear
what happened after this.—Copyright
