Democrats Attention

If you believe the time has come
to analyze the cost Of government
in California from the ground up
and then cut away those portions
that we can well do without;
If you believe the time has come
to make the State of California safe
for the ownership Of a home or q
piece of land on which the owner
can make living and stay off
the relief rolls;
If you believe that 1 will keep
faith with you and pursue these
and other worth while things men
toned in the campaign with deter
mfnation, until results are obtained,
which l will do then cast your bal
lot for me on next Tuesday. For

NEXT TERM WILL BE NO
PARTY FOR PRESIDENT

No matter who wins the coming elec-
tion, lonely and frequently very tired
man is going to be occupying the White
House during the next four years. The
prospects are so dark it is a wonder any
man would want the job.
For the country is in the midst of
period of considerable stress, and the
focal point of this stress will rest square
ly in the middle of the executive mansion.
Consider, for moment, what the occu
pant. will be up against.
He will be forced to decide whether
the United States is going to swing to
the right or to the left during the next
four years. Whoever the winner is, the
pressure on him will be tremendous; and
if he tries to hew straight middle course
it will be greater than ever, for each side
will accuse him of going in the wrong
direction.
He will have to direct the foreign
policy of the most powerful nation in
the world at a time when-unless all
observers are mistaken-the world will
be in greater danger of stumbling into
war than at any time since 1918.
He will be faced with the titanic task
of erecting defenses against the drouth
and erosion that have become so dam
nation. In some ways this will be one
of his greatest tasks, since it involves
nothing less than preserving the physical
assets of the land from incalculable ma
tural forces.
He will be held responsible, rightly or
wrongly, for the maintenance of Amer
lean prosperity in a world which is fol-
lowing selfish and blind nationalistic
policies that lead away from prosperity.
There will not be a great deal that he
will be able to do about this and he will
have the comfort of knowing that, no
matter what course he follows, he will
meet with determined opposition.
It is the same way with unemployment
Here, again, the president should not be
held wholly responsible, or even chiefly
responsible, for the growth of diminu-
ton of that terrible problem. But his
fellow citizens will blame him, just the
same. 1t may be well-nigh impossible
task, but he will have to find solution
Most important of all, he will have to
furnish the people of America with
moral and emotional rallying point. The
people are tired and confused, and they
have been that way for years. They want
desperately to be drawn together, to be
persuaded that there is way they can
follow, and to be led along that way.
One of these days they may do some
very distressing things if that conviction
and that leadership are not given them
1t is going to be up to the president to
meet that demand.
1t is hard to think of any man or earth

VOTE!
National, state and township officers
will be nominated or elected by the vot
ers of California Tuesday.
There will be the usual large fringe
of voters hanging to the coat tails of
those who fulfill their part in the cleo
ton. They will not find time, somehow
or other, to go to the polls Yet their
remonstrances will be louder than
echoes from a wailing wall if, after the
election, they do not like the officers
chosen to public place. Their kicks will
be like the complaints of man who
CANDLES against sure thing, then
blames the dealer for loss of his money.
1t is a saying so old it has whiskers,
that it is the duty of every American to
vote, but it is nevertheless true. With
contemplated changes in basic policies
of government, it is more necessary than
ever that the voters go to the polls
Tuesday, and follow up in the Novem-
ber election. No matter how you vote,
but vote!

Girl Suicide Cr0mated
At Public EXPENSE

Ten days ago the river claimed
the body OF pretty Evelyn Halvin.
Yesterday she was cremated at
public expense.
The 24-year-old blonde, who
made her home in the HOO block
of Sixth st. N. W., plunged into
the river last week. Why, nobody
knows.
For three days it floated down
the river and then, disfigured al
most beyond recognition, it was
sighted by harbor police.
A diamond7set dinner ring, a
wedding ring and a pair of smart
white shoes were the only clues to
her identity. But they didn't avail
much. A day later her body vas
identified by a friend, Betty Carr,
also of the HOO block of Sixth st.
N. W., and by her brother, John
Halvin, of Alexandria, Va.
Since that time her body lay in
