DE HORTTY FLAYS
GOODRICH TAXES
Declares Better and Cheaper
State Roads Possible.

George h. De Hority, Democratic can
didate for State treasurer, is making a
campaign tour in Indiana.
In speaking of some of the issues of
the campaign he said:
Not only does the national Democratic
party pledge itself to enter the League
of Nations, but Thomas Taggart, our
candidate for United States Senator, has
said: I am for going in and he has
given you well defined reasons for voting
to enter this covenant if elected to the
United States Senate.
TAGGART TAKES DEFINITE
VIEW on ALL QUESTIONS.
"You will find Thomas Taggart taking
q clear and definite stand at all times
on all questions vitality important to the
constructive betterment of our great
republic, just as he stands for entering
the League Of Nations, and as he has
answered the question of the 179 Craw-
louisville women with an emphatic Yes
when they asked him If he would enforce
the present prohibition law.
"3ut how does Mr.. Watson stand on
such vitality important questions? How
has he always stood on such measures in
Congress? Do congressional records
IHpoint to Jim Watson making fight for
.knatIonal prohibition? Goodness knows
IEfostered the cause Of prohibition. Do
Il you really believe that James Eli Wat
f son warrants the support of the Anti
\ Saloon League?
Where has Mr.. Watson stood on the
League Of Nations? He was well on his
way to Indiana to oppose the league in
every way when he was called back TO
Washington and then he came back TO
us and was for the League Of Nations
with reservations after consultation with
the Republican olfgarchy.
sNr Watson has informed us that we
never were at war with Germany, but his
[eown candidate for President, selected by
khim and a handful of other Republican
Senators has expressed himself for
Separate peace with Germany.
I'VE would all like to know just where
Watson stands
He told them down at Bloomington
q the other day that the League Of Nations
was not the outstanding issue of the
3 campaign. However, the Senator devoted
4 his entire address to its denunciation
failing to touch on any Of the outstand-
! ing issues"
THE national Democratic party not
only has stood for definitely defined is
sues in the campaign but the Democratic
Fl
q MeCulloch, has pledged himself to the
#repeal Of the present notorious Goodrich
tax, law and the enactment of a Just
&taxation measure where home rule would
be returned to the local communities and
hat they would have the right to spend
heir own money.
"Under your present tax law you were
Hpromised that 1t did not and would not
mean increased taxes.
Has this been true?
Just compare your taxes under the
Goodrich administration with what you
paid under the old law when Marshall
and Ralston were governors.
such comparison will only convince
you that you have paid more under the
new law
The Goodrich administration was hayed
by Mr.. De Hority for it's failure to les
sen the burden of the taxpayers.
Road construction and its increased
costs were explained to the gathering
in such a manner as to expose the ex-
travagent methods of the Goodrich
gang.
The waste of the peoples money was
deplored.
Mr.. De Hority declares that while good
roads are needed IN the county that
roads as good as those laid during the
present administration can be procured
at 8 much lower expense.
The remedy for the extravagant ex-
penditures is left with the voters ae
cording to Mr.. De Hority who urges that
ballots be cast for Carlton B. MeCulloch
and the Democratic state ticket because
McCulloch has pledged himself to rem
edy this condition whereas his opponent
has never mentioned the present tax law,
but has placed a mark OF approval on
the Goodrich administration.
Failure Of "Jim'' Watson to touch
D&ppon the direct issues of the campaign
Eas cited By Mr.. De Hority, while he
pointed out that Thomas Taggart has
not lodged any issues, but has ham,
mered the points of value and interest
home TO the heart of the voters Of the
State in a truthful manner.
