Eastern Shore office. You should have

I'd done something wrong, and it came
to me the next day what it was.
"Your pen doesn't seem to work,
try this one", said the official, as he
pointed to one sticking into a kinda
holder. The pen was one of the old
fashioned kind, and this new tangled
jigger was meant as a sort of pre-
ventive against rust. Well, that one
didn't work either, for the very good
reason it had no ink in it.

the clouds were very threatening, they
soon relieved themselves of their

The rain was very acceptable to
farming interests as the fields were
in great need of moisture, and the
down-pour came as great relief.

Farley Appeals
For Election
lOf Roosevelt
u the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Nov. flames A.
Farley, chairman Of the Democratic
State Committee, urged upstate
party workers yesterday to put
forth every effort" on election day
and added:
There never was time during
the years that have passed in the
campaigns in which we have worked
together where I have been more
deeply concerned than at the present
time for the success of the Demo-
cratic Party in the State of New
York"
Mr.. Farley said in kilograms that
it was of the greatest importance"
to keep down the normal Republican
majority upstate Ito make certain
that New York State will be in the
Democratic column on election
night" New York City is normally
overwhelmingly Democratic.
Mr.. Farley said his message, sent
in line with custom he inaugurated
in 1928, was extremely urgent and
important" In it he said:
II personally urge you to
put forth every effort at your COM
mand to work with those associated
with you to the end that every posi-
BILE vote obtainable is brought to the
polls on election day in support of
President Roosevelt and the entire
Democratic ticket"

pire. One or the other is going to
disappear from the picture.
Anyway, while England has a
tough row to hoe, the going just
now seems to me to be considerably
more promising than 1t was while
back. Making predictions in this
mad war is like crossing Niagara
Falls on a tightrope, but venture
to say it is far from sure that
Mussolini did not confer a great
boon on Britain when he lashed
out at Greece.
The great object of the Roman
assault presumably was to obtain
air and naval bases, especially on
the strategic islands which form
gateway across the Aegean Sec.
These would be vital to any axis
attempt to force the Dardanelles.
However, instead of achieving q
blitzkrieg. as they expected, the
Fascists have tossed priceless bases
into England's lap, thereby going
a long way toward nullifying their
efforts. The biggest news Of today's
operations is the British Official
confirmation that they have occu-
pied the Island of Crete.
Priceless Gift for England.
That great island. with its fine
anchorage Tor warships and ample
space for airfields, is a priceless
gift for England. She couldn't
occupy this and other islands while
Greece was still neutral. Crete,
apart from other Greek bases which
Britain presumably has occupied.
provides a base from which she can
strike in all directions in the East
ern Mediterranean.
1t affords protection for Greece,
for Turkey, for the all-important
Dardanelles that bars the Axis
from the Near East, and for the
great Greek port and railhead Of
Salonika, which the Italians hope
to capture. 1t at last gives the
Royal Air Force an air base close
to Italy so that bombing operations
can be opened up on a large scale
as witness the first raid OF the
war on naples.
Crete also is a stout guardian for
Egypt and the Suez Canal. And it
is close to Mussolini's lines of COM
munication with his army which is
trying to invade Greece.
On the whole, if the Axis powers
are planning an assault on the
Dardanelles, Italy could not have
offered the British better defensive
setup. Now if England can make
capital out of this situation she
may win the active support of
Russia and Turkey. Meanwhile,
Hitler is straining every nerve to
pull these countries into his camp,
and success would be a sad blow to
Britain.

In analyzing the foregoing and
giving due weight to the numbers
which seemed preponderant, I came
to the conclusion that the electoral
votes Of the sure" States for Roose-
welt were 72, which, with the Solid
South, gave him 1856 electoral votes.
The sure States for Willkie totaled
267 electoral votes, while the doubt
full leaning" toward Roosevelt COM
prised 81 electoral votes and the
doubtful leaning" toward Willkie
totaled Is electoral votes. Here are
the four groups as interpreted the
poll:
Sure" for Roosevelt: Arizona,
California, Delaware, Kentucky,
Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Ok
lahoma, Utah, West Virginia and
the Solid South-total, 1856.
Sure" for Willkie: Colorado, ILL
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine,
Massachusetts,, Michigan, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Ore

Vermont, Wisconsin-total, 267.
Leaning" toward Roosevelt:

sey, Washington-total, 81.
Leaning" toward Willkie: Con-

1t is significant that large num-

velt such States as California, with

received by this correspondent over
the telephone from editors in Mary

made in the forepart of the week of
October %, give the impression that
Maryland. with eight votes, cannot
be considered sure" for Roosevelt.
Examining the poll and their ac-
companying letters State by State
1t was apparent, too, that editors
did not make their predictions on
the basis of what candidates they
themselves are supporting, so that

tained confidentially, really repre-
sents fair appraisal Of the 1910

Martin Says He Will Back
Real Relief Farm Bills
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Nov. 4.-Representative
Martin, Republican, of Massa-
chusetts, whose vote on administra-
ton farm measures was criticized
here Wednesday py President Roose-
welt, said last night he would sup
port agricultural bills (which will
give some real celief."
"But I won't support measures
which will hasten the bankruptcy
of the Nation and which at the
same time will impoverish millions
of farmers and destroy great in
dustry," he added in an address pre-
pared for a Massachusetts, Repub-
Ican victory" rally.
Mr.. Martin declared that ''the
Roosevelt-W Wallace farm program
increased foreign crop production.
It hiked to tremendous proportions
the agricultural surpluses held in
stock by the Government, stocks
which hang like milestone around
the neck Of agriculture to depress
prices the farmer receives for his
crop.
This tragic failure to solve the
farm problem hurts every one. The
merchant, the doctor, the banker,
the worker, all are interested in a
flourishing agricultural industry.

all prosper"

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov. A.

nominee. predicted yesterday the
birth of a successful new political
party within four to eight years"
The time is coming" Mr. Babson
declared at campaign rally. when
the voters will cast aside both major
parties and go either to a coalition
government or to some third party.
1T is up to you to see that it is a
conservative third party and not

The economist offered a four
point program as a guide to the
Nation. 1t included stricter law
enforcement, reorganization of the
public school system, character tests
for candidates for public Office and
getting back to the fundamentals
Of American government"
Closing a 30-State, 10,000-mile
tour in behalf of his candidacy, Mr..
Babson foresaw 1941 as "one Of the
best years the country has had" and
declared Adolf Hitler will not be
remembered as a conquerer but as
one who forced reorganization of

ing that the war has passed the pos
sibility of peace by agreement, bar
ring some strange and wholly unex-

Hard as it is to say. 1t is difncult
to see how the conflict can be set
tied excepting by the total defeat Of
one side or the other. Europe just
isn't big enough to hold both Hitler
and Britain
Should it prove to be true that the
Fuehrer is indeed preparing peace
terms, 1t would, Of course, be sig
nificant as indicating that he no
longer feels confident he can smash
England. That would be his reason
for stopping now.
The reported terms provide that
"the British Empire, being unde-
feated and unconquered, should
remain as it is. Europe, being con-
quered by GERMANY" should be re-
garded as outside England's sphere

That would be a grand bargain

If John Bull were willing to forgo
his oath to free his Allies from
German subjugation. he would seem

accept such terms.
Peace under an arrangement like
that could not be lasting 1t would

war would blaze again as sure as

Hitler has sworn time and again
to destroy the British Empire. Un-
der the circumstances one would ex-
pect English officialdom to greet any
such peace terms with what it has
said in effect before-that j. Bull is
too ample of girth and too worldly
