He feels that upon! its results depend to a large extent the future of the nation and welfare of the people, Deeply in earnest and considerably perturbed over the situation Mr. Hammond! believes that the necessity for the reeelction of President, Hoover is very great, i "Every thoughtful citizen realizes that this campaign is import tant beyond any -other since the civil wari Hammond said to The Tribune.

-'fUpon its result depends the future of the nation and the welfare of its people for at least four years and 1 perhaps longer. As a republican 1 who has practically retired from active participation In politics: but who retains an abiding faith in the principles of that party I am glad to state the reasons why I believe that to abandon the measures al-i ready in effect and to turn the Control of the government over to a party without a program and with a record of failure every time it has been in power would be nothing abort of disaster to the nation. "From" the time we were first hit by this world-wide depression until the beginning of I this cam- paign I have talked with dozens of intelligent democrats. Without any exception they have candidly admitted that the administration was in no-way responsible for the depression but hn.t it was bound to come no matter? wnat parry was in power. fThat they have, in the heat of the campaign, changed front and bow charge all the woes of the world to President Hoover was to be expected as that is pure--ly partisan politics.

Resemblance of photographs of the convicted minister and the former- Elkhart, gambler and roustabout named as one of the trio which brutally shot and killed Henry Muessel and Frank Ch robot during the robbery of the Muessel brewery office on El wood avenue on Dec 30, 1915, has created a suspicion they are one and the same man. Although the last known of Danruther- was taken 17 years ago, a compari son of it with the most recent photograph of Rev. Mr. Berrie re veals such marked likenesses that Oklahoma authorities where the pastor is under life sentence have instituted an investigation tn con junction with local police. Linking of the two characters Is the result of a story recounting the Muessel murders written for The Tribune morei than a year ago by Everett -RJ Holies, staff writer, and republished this month in the magazine, Master Detective Stories, The story was illustrat ed with the only- published photo graph of Danruther.

0. P. Johnson County Survey Shows Democrats Back Hoover. BY INVKSTIGATOK. FRANKLIN, Ind, Oct.

29. Tne question that has been heard more frequently than any other perhaps during the present campaign is, what will the farmer do when he goes to the polls on Nov, 8 Party workers have wondered whether he would stick to his party affil iations of the past or, if a republican in the past, cast a ballot of protest this year i against the things that are. jonnson county is regarded as one of the leading agricultural counties of Indiana. It is in the heart of the great midwestern corn belt and the farmers of this section may be taken as typical of farm thought and farm taction in the great Ohio valley, i After meeting hundreds of farmers dur ing the past few weeks and after talking with concerning farm problems as they' may be affected by the coming election it is. this writer's candid opinion that Indiana 'farmers see in the republican party their best friend and their greatest hope at the present hour.

To come down to actual' facts, however, this writer knows of but one republican farmer in this county who has proclaimed that he will not vote for Mr. Hoover. We know scores of good democrat farmers who openly say that they prefer Hoover to Roowevelt We are of the opinion in this section for every republican vote that Mr. Hoover loses he will gam a score of democratic votes- As we go into the closing days pf the 1932 campaign conditions- look most favorable or republican success. The political polls have been taken.

Johnson county is a democratic uounty and has remained true to democracy I when all others outside the solid south deserted. These polls, taken instructions to poll as republicans only those concerning whom there It; not the shadow of a doubt, reveal the normal democratic ma jority. 1 Polls Prove Deceptive. Polls are very deceptive how ever. H'our years ago ine republi can poll showed a democratic ma jority of Mr.

Hoover carried the county by 1,200 majority. Eight years ago the poll books of the republicans showed a democratic majority, of about 1,100. Mr. Coolidge carried the county by a majority of 950 Where these votes came from has never been learned but the big switch in sentiment has demonstrated that CaatiaaaS a JPaga Tva Calaaia Sic Fight Out Fetid in Kentucky mr AsaooJstad Fraas.
