RED HOUSE LUTHERAN PARISH
A. X. Jones, Pastor

The Sunday schools will meet at
the usual time next Sunday morn
ing and the Luther League at 7:45 in
the evening.
The Anniversary Communion SER
vice will be held at Red House at
10:40 All members within reach will
want to be present for this great eli
max of worship, as all who commune
will have their names inscribed in
the Registration Record used during
the formal celebration in September.
Persons who are i'll, or otherwise
unable to be present, should arrange
for the pastor to administer the Holy
Supper at their homes. Those who
have room for another in their cars
should plan to bring any who do not
have a way to travel.
1t may be that parents expecting to
present their little ones to God in
Holy Baptism next Sunday may be
kept away as a result Of the children's
illnesses so common in the community.
The pastor will come to the home for
this service also, if requested to do so.

LOOKING
FORWARD
BY FRANKLIN MAILMAN

There is a despicable whispering
campaign going on against Wendell
Willllie which seeks to make it appear,
by sly hints and innuendo, that in
some way he is sympathetic with
Adolph Hitler and even that he is an
agent in this country of German
Naziism.
Part of this campaign is by word
of mouth. Another part is through
the medium Of anonymous circulars
and leaflets, distributed through the
mails, with a post office box given as
a return address. Still another part
consists of cowardly attacks by New
Deal propagandists who seek to make
it appear that Hitler sympathizers
and American Bund leaders are behind
the Willkie candidacy.
Needless to say these whispers and
the impression they seek to create are
falsehoods without any foundation
whatever. When statements are true
they are boldly stated-they are not
whispered behind the hand or circu-
lated in leaflets that lack the imprint
of responsible and identifable au-
thors.

Mrs. Brison Glotfelty, at Addison, Pa.
Mr.. Glotfelty was born and reared
in Garrett county and was resident
of McHenry for many years, but for
the past seventeen years he has re-
sided at Addison.
The nonogenarian is very active for
one of his age. He chops wood for
two families and on his birthday Fri
day he raked the leaves out of a
large yard. His mind and memory
are as keen as ever.
He has five children, nineteen grand
children and twenty-one great-grand-
children.
Those present to enjoy the dinner
with the honoree were Earle Glotfelty,
Virginia Enlow, Catherine and Charles

uniform within month. He served
with distinction as an artillery officer
in France and since the end of that
war he has been an active member of
the American Legion and the Veterans
Of Foreign Wars.
Wendell Willkie likewise fought =
and fought hard - against the Ku
KluX Khan during its hey-day in Ak
ron, Ohio. He was a delegate to the
1924 Democratic National Convention
and there battled against the nomina-
ton of William Gibbs McAdoo, the K.
K. K. candidate.
Long before he became a Presiden-
tlal nominee or thought he ever
would - Wendell Willkie publicly took
the side Of the Allied side in this pres
ent war. Repeatedly he has urged as
sistance to the British. In his Accep-
lance Speech he left no doubt what
ever Of where he stood.
We suppose this recitation of facts
Will not stop the anonymous, under
cover pamphleteers nor the sordid,
surreptitious whisperers. Most of
them know the truth and knowingly
are distorting it for political capital
But honest, decent Americans can
throw such lying leaflets into the fire
and can challenge the New Deal whis-
pering brigade to state publicly, and
take responsibility for, that which they
humble behind their hands.

JONAS E. GNAGEY

Jonas E. Gnagey, 90, one Of the
pioneer residents of this county, died
Wednesday morning, October %, at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. G. A.
Lininger, at Waterloo, Iowa, whom he
had been visiting. A heart condition,
together with complications, brought
on by his advanced age, was given
as the cause of death.
Mr. Gnagey had suffered several
slight heart attacks within the past
month"; and his condition had been
critical for about week. Previously
he had been unusually active for one
of his years.
Mr.. Gnagey was born January %,
1850, in the Cove section and practi-
cally his entire life was spent in the
Grantsville community. He was a
son of Emmanuel and Eliza Liven-
good Gnagey, natives of the county,
who for many years operated the
farm now owned by Sam Hershberger.
On August 7, 1873, he married Miss
Elizabeth Swauger, who died at the
age of SO years following the birth
of her sixteenth child.
Mr.. Gnagey was farmer, a cabi-
net maker and for number of years
operated a planning mill at Grantsville.
He retired from active business about
fifteen years ago. He went to Wis
consin a year ago to visit daughter
and later went to Iowa. He had been
a member of the Church of the Breth-
rem for more than fifteen years.
Surviving are six children, Mrs.
Robert Horne, Broadhead, Wis; Mrs.

LITTLE TRUTH
IN WHISPERS

Most of these whispers revolve
around the fact-and there is very IL
tie otherwise true about them-that
Wendell Wilkes ancestors were Ger
mans. Wendell Willkie's grandparents
were born in Germany, just as were
the grandparents Of many millions of
loyal, patriotic Americans.
Nothing is said in these -Willkie
whispers of the fact that his grand
parents were liberals in Germany who
fought for democratic, representative
government and that when this move
ment met with repression, they came
to this country, as refugees, to find
the liberty and freedom which they
could not find in the land of their
birth, as did that great American and
eminent patriot, Carl Schurz.
AS the Hartford Conn Courant
recently asserted, at was that emil
grafton to escape persecution and to
gain freedom in America that gave
this country some of its best and its
most loyal citizens"
INHERITED LOVE
OF LIBERTY
Indeed, the story of these Willkie
progenitorS is one explanation WHY
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1940-10-31

Wendell l.. Willkie is so ardent and
fierce an advocate of liberty today
Resistance to autocratic rule and gov
ernmental restraints was bred into
his very being, inherited from his an
cestors. The things his grandparents
fought for in Germany religious
freedom, universal and equal suffrage,
& progressive income tax, trial by jury
in all cases of offenses against laws
governing the press, abolition of ali
class privileges and equalization of
the disproportionate conditions exist
ing between capital and sounds
like the American Bill of Rights.
The efforts of these Willkie grand
parents with many other Germans to
establish Republic under a written
Constitution failed, and they fled to
this country for sactuary. Wendell
Wilkes paternal grandfather came
here, established foothold and then
went back to Germany to get his fam
lily, bringing to this country in 1861,
Herman Willkie, then four years old,
the father of the Republican Presiden-
tial nominee.
The grandfather and then the
father, as he grew into manhood -
toiled in Indiana's. forests, clearing
land and bringing forth their food
from the soil Herman Willkie taught
9 Methodist Sunday school, worked
his way through, the Fort Wayne
Methodist College. Later he married
Henrietta Trisch, born in Indiana,
whose mother was a Presbyterian
preacher. Both of Wendell Wilkes
parents taught school and both became
lawyers, his mother being the first
woman admitted to practice at the
Indiana bar.
There is not one scintilla of evil
dence that Wendall Willkie has any
sympathy for Naziism or Adolf Hit
ler. On the contrary, there is an album
dance of evidence that he loathes, and
all his life has fought against, the
things for which Hitler stands.
