'Closest election in years'
'The closest election in years!"
And with those words, America sits back after one of the most strenuous
presidential campaigns in history to await the results of today's balloting.
Even Dr. Gallup, of 1936 fame hesitates to stake his reputation on a definite
prediction. We hate to think of his fate if either candidate wins by a com
fortable majority; but he's even taken care of that by bringing in the
weather. If it rains, he says, things may be entirely different than his poll
shows.
And along with the rain idea, we're personally glad that the rain of
smears and propaganda is over. Neither side pulled punches during the last
month. They both went at it with all the millions the republicans had avail
able and all the sarcasm and evasion that Michelson and Co. were able to
muster.
And when the shouting and ballyhoo was over last night, American
voters were still digging into the pile of scrap that was left of the reputa
tions and personalities of the candidates, trying to find if either of them was
honorable and fit to be president.
Yessiree! "Willkie a nazi ! Roosevelt wants to be a dictator! Wendell
wants to make millions for his holding company! Franklin wants the rest
of his family to be generals and major-generals! McNary can't speak Eng
lish and doesn't understand the farm question! Wallace is an intellectual
whose theories are communistic! Charles is timid and the pointer on the capi
talistic wand! Henry is an Iowa farmer whose own farms are losing money I
After this campaign, we might ask how either party selected such abomin
able, incompetent, unreliable candidates! But that's American politics.
Throw 'em all over the ring and may the worst man win!
But American voters are prone to brush aside much of the propaganda'
and find something on which to base their choices. This yearv the issues at
stake; namely, third term, war and peace, defense, and spending have oveiw
shadowed personalities.
The one thing we are sure of is this:
Whichever man is inaugurated January 3, we must follow and rapport.
He will be our president, our leader. His will be the responsibility of guid
ing this nation and its 130 some odd millions through the narrow straight
of international and domestic difficulty for the next four years. Without
a people who support him wholeheartedly and loyally, he will fan, expe
rience or no experience.
REPUBLICANS: If Franklin Roosevelt is elected for a third term,
you must support him in the four years to come, or at least until this na
tion is out of danger. To do otherwise will be futile. For in his mind,
what he has been doing and what his associates have been doing has been,
in the main, the right thing. If he wins, he will in all probability have a
congress to support him. Active opposition to him and to that congress
will hinder defense work and greatly endanger the nation.
DEMOCRATS: If Wendell Willkie is elected president, he must have
the full cooperation that you are capable of giving him. His lack of expe
rience win place him at a great disadvantage to begin with and the expe
rience of the democratic administrators will be needed to keep this nation
on the path of peace and domestic security.
SOCIALISTS AND OTHERS: Tour activities are being and will be
watched most carefully. The right you now have under this democracy to
peacefully promote your programs may be abridged if your activities dur
ing what may be a crisis make you appear antagonistic to efforts of defense
and peace.

In speaking of her work, Mrs.

"We never have trouble with
the natives anywhere in Africa,"
said Mrs. Johnson, changing the
subject to dangers of exploring.
"The only places where there are
still cannibals are the south seas.
"I don't think it's as dangerous
there as it is over here with your
subways, automobiles, etc. You
