The period of peace and quiet which followed the nominations seems t)j be definitely over. During that period, there can be no question but what the Willkie can didacy suffered a slight let-down—-his friends admit it, even as his opponents exult in it. But only the politically in experienced believe that let-down was necessarily of any particular signific ance. Mr. Willkie was swept into the Republican nomination on the crest of a wave of almost unprecidented enthus iasm, similar to that which gave Mr. Roosevelt the Democratic nomination eight years ago. No one experienced in politics believes that enthusiasm could havdi been maintained ur^dimm ed from nomination day to election da|y. Willkie strategists deliberately planned the let-down, knowing that it had to come some time, and that the earlier it came the better off his candi dacy vHould be. History is studded with dismal examples of candidates who brought their campaigns to maxi mum pitch too long before November —and, as a result, seemed to the voters as stale as yesterday’s beer by election time. On top of that, the Willkie camp aign called for super-careful planning. Ordinary issues are of little moment today, with the national attention foc used on war in Europe and defense at home. Mr. Willkie is not an ‘a-ginner.’ He enclorse^ man^y New Deal policies in principle even as he denounces many New Deal Methods. And so, almost inevitably, it looks as if this campaign will focus down to two ssues—one tan gble, the other more or less intangible but of immense potential importance. The tangible issue is that of adm instration. Willkie backers believe that he could get more for each defense dollar than could the present White House group. They believe he could steer a course which would be fairer to all the diverse interests in this country today—wlbrker anoj capitalist, farmer and manufacturer, little business man, reliefer, etc. And only the blindest supporters of the New Deal fail to see that it has made many grave mistakes in the administrative field, even as it has made great advances in bringing before the people problems which must eventually be solved. The intangible issue is that of the third term—of one man’s indispensab ility. Mr. Willkie has been hitting that issue hard, and some of the experts be lieve that it may turn out to be the dec isive issue of the campaign. No man, says Mr. Willkie, is vital to the country —and once the idea gets aroung that one man is indispensable, it will be just a matter of time before dictator ship follows. To Mr. Willkie, there is no personal fight in this—he doesn’t charge the President with dictatorial ambitions. He simply points out that once the precedent is demolished we will have, in principle, accepted a gov ernment of men as against a govern ment of laws. That was the theme which domin ated Mr. Willkie’s Ooffejyville address, opening gun of his campaign. And it has dominated his other prepared ad dresses made since, even as it has dom inated the little two-min<ute off hand talks he has made in dozens of towns. Mr. Roosevelt bases his candid acy on his record—on what he regards as great New Deal attainments. His answer to the third-term argument is that there can be no dictatorship here so lon& as the people posses the ballot. His recent speeches have been moder ate in tone, and have been generally well received. They are not driving speeches—apparently he thinks there would be no point in his making a cam paign ^3ur, inasmuch as he and what he stands for are so well known to the country. On one point, all are agreed —the President was never in finer form when it comes to his radio pres ence and delivery. Who will win? One of the Week ly picture magazines recently asked a group ol well known \Vasnmgton cor respondents ai^d commentators that question,, and all but a few hedged. Too much can happen between mow and November, they said, to make a safe prediction possible. They were about eveidy divided in giving the edge at present to either Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Willkie. Latest published polls give, the President a substantial lead. But these polls were taken during the Willkie let (\own period and so may hot mean much. From now on, the polls should be more significant and accurate. Hope of Willkie backers is that his rating will come slowly but steadily up, reach ing top just before November 5. Some are wondering just hiow ac curate the modern “scientific! sainpl ing” polls will prove to be if the elect ion is close. These polls didn’t come in to existence until the ‘thirties, and have covered two presidential contests where the victor won with record breaking ease. In a really nip and tuck election, where the final decision turn ed on a few hundred thousand votes in two lor three key states, it is a question whether the polls would make the grade or not. .» * _ ACE IN THE HOLE At the present time, according to the Dairymen’s League News of New York, there are more than 40 different agricultural marketing agreements m effect throughout the country, dealing with milk and dairy products, fruits, vegetables, nuts and hops. S:>me 1,300 000 farmers are reaping the benefits. These agreements make it possi ble for farmers, through their cooper ative marketing organizations, to not only get a better financial return for what they produce, but to stabilize markets as well. The farmer has come a long way since that n jt-so-distant time when ne raised his crops, then went to market and sold them for whatever he was of fered. The marketing coop really brought business principles to the farm It did away with exploitation by big buyers. And, at the same time, it pro vided a definite service to the consum er bv assuring a steady supply of high nuality farm produce at a fair price. The marketing cooperative movement is the modern farmer’s ace in the hole. “First ya lose haffa China, an' now four of my bes’ hankys!' 4iiiuiuti;iiiiiupiniuiiui<HttiKuaiiiuuiiiiimhiiriui!iiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiDHiiiuiii«iiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiuiiuiiiiit|]iiuiiiuiiii!iiiiiiii!iiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!mtmiiiuiimiiiiiiuuiiit!miiuuimiiiiiimttn Maintain the HIGH CHARACTER of the Dis trict Court by ELECTING the PRESENT District Judges, Who are courteous, efficient and well qual ified.

TO THE COLORED VOTERS OF OMAHA: We urge you to oast your votes for Edson Smith for District Judge when you vote on November 5th. We make this request because Edson Smith is qualified and has been reared in an environment which has made him one of the fairest of men. He was born and reared in that section of Omaha which is so largely populated by colored people, many of whom were his classmates in the grade schools and high school. He is the son of Robert Smith, the present Clerk of the District Court. Through the years he has shared with his father the idea of dealing fairly and justly with the Colored people. More than thirty years ago, when Mr. Robert Smith was a member of the Omaha Board of Education, he recommended and obtained the appointment of Miss Eula Overall as a teacher in the Omaha Public Schools. During the thirty years he nas been Clerk of the District Court of Douglas County he has had in his employ as Clerks, at different times, Mr. Rufus Long, Mr. Worthington Williams, Mr John G. Pegg, Miss Estelle Robertson, and Mrs. Josephine Bell. In additio to"the^persons^named three extra colored clerks have been employed in his office during the past year,—Miss Louise Bryant, Mrs. Lydia Rogers, and Mr. Boyd V. Galloway. Manv vears ago, a quartette of colored singers from Knoxville College, at Knoxville, Tennessee, came to Omaha for a concert. They were unable to obtain lodging and board in any hotel in the city and Mr. Robert Smith s family took in the four young colored men into their home and shared it with them during the days they were here. They joined in the same prayers and partook together the family meal. It is from such a home, with such a spirit, that Edson Smith comes. It should not be necessary to mention these experiences, but it is. During our country's history, many fine things have been said about freedom and equality. Thomas Jefferson said them in the Declaration of Independence, and when he said them, he was the fourth largest slave holder in the Country, and, therefore did not mean them. When the Constitution of the United States was adopted, its preamble, setting forth its purposes dedicated it to the preserva tion of liberty for all Americans, but by its terms, human slavery was recog nized. Thus when we would correctly gauge the attitude of white men in the field of fairness Injustice. » cannot look, merely, to their words, but must rely upon their deeds. We have given the record of Robert Smith. We ask your votes for Edson Smith! h?sson.We sincerely believe in this case, we state the truth when we say "like father, like son". Vote for Edson Smith November 5th and thereby serve well the Colored Race and the Community. Sincerely yours, Rev. 7. P. Jones, 2422 Ohio St. Mrs. Ida Willis, 2025 Ohio St. Dr W W.
