Being the first state to vote on'national issues due to the election of a senator and congressman, naturally national issues superceded state issues. The campaign drew the heaviest speakers on each side and the result to the Republicans can be nothing more than the election in that state four years ago when the Democrats won, even electing a governor again two years ago. A lot of water has passed over the dam even in the past two years. The . electorate had become overfed on Roosevelt Communism, boodle from PWA and booze for the drunkards. Most of the city vote went to the Democrats on a plea of return of liquor, while rural Meane lined up with the Republicans in numbers that exceeded the city vote. No state in the union, considering population, has had more free government spending, than Maine. Rural citizens have some regard for the^ future of the state and the nation and repudiated the New.Deal. .What has happened in Maine is going to happen in a score or more rural states in the nation. Certain gentlemen in Washington might take the gentle hint that not all the people of the country follow the Roosevelt doctrine of a drunken orgie to keep class against class and a babel of tongues that dictatorship shall be enthroned. BETTER SLOW DOWN AT NIGHT Here is some worth-while advice to motorists: As soon as darkness descends, slowr down pronto! In spite of the fact that the hulk of cars are operated almost . entirely during the day, well over half of all the fatal accidents last year occurred at night. Sixty-nine per cent of the victims were pedestrians. An the death rate for., the evening rush hours wasover 100 per cent"greater in winf^rthafi inSummer, due to darkness; # " Unconsciously or otherwise, many motorists chronically “ overdrive their headlights”—rthat is, they- could not bring their cars to a stop within the illuminated distance before them. And more powerful lights are no cure for this— they produce glare, a potent cause of head-on car crashes, and are justly illegal in. most states. The pedestrian, of course, is not wholly free from blame. It has been extensively publicized that one should always walk on the left side of the highway, facing oncoming traffic— but a great many night-walkers apparently haven't'heard the news yet. And many of them also don’t seem to realize that to walk on a dark highway w'earing dark clothes is an invitation to the coroner. Light refraction is an eccentric thing—and a darkly-dressed pedestrian often can’t be seen by the motorist until it is too late. Thus, we need education for the pedestrian as well as for the auto driver. But in the meantime, the driver should take every precaution— and even go to what may seem ridi culous lengths— to operate his car safely.. After all, he is in command of a potentially lethal vehicle that literally kills more men than does war. Don’t take a chance! Those who hare followed the presi­ dential campaign and interested in the part Father Coughlin is playing with his “ Union.” *party have- had occasion to compare news reports o f the so- called “ calling"* given the pries* by the Papal authorities in' ’Homer’ : 'A “ UB” news dispatch told o f the scold­ ing given Coughlin who was warned to tune down on his remarks, especial­ ly terms that were directed to Rouse- velt. . The “ AP ” had entirely different but greatly abbreviated reports, the two news stories being about opposite. The AP news service is a mutual organization while the UP is private­ ly owned by New York, interests that are at present much interested in the New Deal and the re-election o f Roosevelt. News stories are cleverly written to push the cause o f the New Deal. ' AP news does not permit such stories and as its members ’are both Democratic and Republican, only the facts are presented as they are on each side. That the UP had reason to have a red face following publication o f the colored stories as to what happened to Coughlin, the Detroit radio priest continues in* attacks, on Roosevelt in anything but subdued tones. He has repeatedly termed "_R'o o s e v e 11 a “donble-cro^Ser'’ but ‘Sties not use the prefix’o f “ President.’^Scores o f news­ papers in the coun ty , months ago dropped the use o f the official designa­ tion of . ‘“President” to Roosevelt's name. COL. FRANK KNOX BRINGS RESULTS Cci. Frank Knox, Republican, vice presidential candidate, is doing a wonderful service to the.hundreds of /thousands of life insurance policy holders in exposing the danger the New Deal has placed life insurance savings, to say nothing of the expected protection for the widow and’ orphans. The fiscal policy of the government .at this time, is of course just as dangerous to investments in stocks, and bonds, but' when it comes to life insurance, many more immediately become interested. Premiums paid by policy holders, whether in a mutual or stock insurance company, largely belong to the insured for it is from them that the company is able to pay the death claim. Each policy draws from the net earnings of the company, adding to the value o f the policy. This is accrued in many cases white thousands take advantage of these earnings each year to reduce their premium payments. When the New Deal lowered the interest rates on govern­ ment bonds, held largely by insurance companies, the earnings of the companies were greatly reduced. This cost each policy holder his fractional share of the reduced profit, and at the same time weakened the earning power of the company Invest­ ments. Col. Knox has centered critical fire justly against the New Deal policy and holders of insurance last year felt the sting for the first time. These policy holders cannot be fooled by what­ ever claims the Roosevelt administration now make and so strong has sentiment grown against the New.Deal method, fear and trembling in Washington has caused much concern, so mjich so; that Roosevelt has called a conference of life in­ surance company representatives to “ smother” the fear polic£ holders now have. * • , This conference was one of those similar to the NRA under Hugh Johnson when representatives were called and told what to expect, dismissed and sent home>without having a chance to present the other side of the question. Any Roose­ velt conference on business matters is clothed with red tape and you can expect the life insurance conference to end the same way. Most of these meetings are private, the press not even being permitted to hear the discussion. Newspapermen are Usually given a typewritten report, prepared by a New Dealer, and worded to suit the administration. Yet we are told that Roosevelt stands for the freedom of the press. * A t one of the White House conferences of newsmen, a representative of a New York City paper wrote a different story than what the New Deal wanted. As a punishment this same writer was barred at the door for the next conference. His story displeased the King. That life insurance policy holders should be on their guard as to reports of the recent conference, we give you the background of what has been happening during the past four years.

Sterling for the opening of the Republican, state campaign with Attorney General John Brickcr as the candidate for governor, and former Gov. Allen o f Kansas as the,head-liners. Mt. Sterling is the home o f the Republican nominee. The state campaign got off to a good start and if direction of political trend and straw vpvtes conducted by both Re­ publican and Democratic papers means anything, Bricker will be elect­ ed as the next governor o f Ohio. United States Marshal Kenneth Kerr, formerly o f Wilmington, and former Lieutenant Governor Charles Sawyer of Cincinnati, owners of a .string o f newspapers in Ohio, acquired control o f the Record-Republican in Washington C. II., last week. Forest F. Tipton has been editor and J.. L. Cndwatiqder, business manager. Bpjth wilt remain with the ^rew'company. The Record-Republican is the only Republican organ in Fayette county. In as much as both Messrs. Kerr and Sawyer are prominent ilri Democratic politics, a new situation developcs that is a topic o f interest on both sides of the political fence. This is not the first Republican paper that Mr. Saw, yer has under hfa'control ,4 A grape­ vine story has been going the rounds for several days that the Kerr-Sawyer combination may acquire a Greene county paper before the first of the coming year. ‘HERALDWANTANDSALEADSPAY 7 A - B .

If there is no money for re-appraisul, where would the money come from to keep " hospital doors open? I f there is no money how can the county commissioners appropriate funds for either re-appraisal or sup­ port o f a hospital? The only place the county gets its income is from various kinds o f taxes. While the state o f Maine did a little, house-cleaning Monday,, it fell to Michigan Republicans to administer one o f the greatest merited trimmings to Senator Cousins, that could be handed any candidate. The Senator after 14 years 1 ervice evidently had bad advice- OF had been carried off by the New Deal Communistic pro­ gram when he announced support of Roosevelt His long service as a Republican and representing his party from an important industrial state should have been background for better judgment than accept advice towards taking the step he did. If he was influenced by the New Deal appeal to get the rabble vote in his state, .his defeat was due him. When ever a man gets to the place in poli­ tical life ,that he is greater than his party and that he can ride double, particularly with the issues of the campaign as they are, his defeat is nothing more than could be expected. In fact the Republicans in Michigan did a good job in retiring Cousins and will *receive the moral support o f Democrats who believe in orderly con­ stitutional government. The signs of the times this week indicate the people are once more getting their feet back on solid ground and that sound judg­ ment is to restore confidence in the future o f the nation, without dictator--, ship or regimentation o f citlhlr in­ dividuals or business.

That’s food in am country! Now that .the electorate in Greene county will vote on the 3100,400 bond issue fo r a hospital for. charity cases, those cases that must be designated as “ paupers,” we have been asked by a number,of people where the county is to get the money'to provide for the upkeep of the institution, in case such is approved undirected, It is ad- on tjll, sides that real estate, homes and* -farms/ brill be ta cd for the.bond issue outside o f the* ten mill limitation tax rate, meaning't'm ad­ ditional tax nn -t be levied to*retire t'.e bonds. As to wheie thc-eoenty is to get the money to light, heat and rare, for the hospital, as well ns pay nursing charges .and medical : upplies and food for patients and nurses, we are af a los i to know. We have made some inquiry from * authoo-ative sources but everyone shakes his head. The only answer is that another elec­ tion for a special tax’ levy outside of the ten mill limitation will.be neces­ sary to finance: the upkeep o f the hospital. We have personal friends serving 'as directors in hospitals Jji Dayton nnd Columbus, where several hundreds o f pay patients are* cared for, yet we are informed that each hospital is continually running behind, it being impossible to make'income meet needed expenses, Both institu­ tions also veceive tax funds and have liberal gifts from Community Chest funds as Well as some income from endowments. If a special tax levy for Upkeep is necessary, farms and homes must pay the tax.
