one else can do any of these things
to you, unless you permit yourself
to be victim.
Just as our nation if it ever goes
down, will do SO because of inner
weakness, rather than from outside
force, SO there is no one who can
really do you harm from the OUT
side. He must penetrate your lines

What Other Editors Have
To Say
THE WAY 1T WORKS.
(Kalispell Inter Lake,

Some few years ago the govern
ment established colony at Mata-
nuska, Alaska, but the colonists
seem to be showing base ingrati-
tude toward Santa Claus.
The government expects them to
make some payment on account
not much but some-and threatens
eviction if they don't come across,
while an Alaskan legislator advises
them to stick to their farms and
prove whether they are American
citizens or poems.
This seems to be approaching a
rather disagreeable climax to an
idealistic program, designed to give
the have nots" a chance to make
new start in the world
DR.. Herbert Hansen, manager of
the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation
corporation, insists that they should
make a token payment He says that
at least they could pay five dollars,
and arrange for future payments,
especially when they are buying
new cars, 60 to the movies con-
tinually, and are living comfortable
lives.
We are inclined to agree with DR..
Hansen, for the government has
done good deal for them. 1t pur-
chased and cleared the land and
erected buildings costing about
S., 900, and they are given % years
in which to pay. It would prob
ably be very lenient if they made
some attempt to meet their obliga-
tions, but they are insisting on can
collation..
One of the difficulties of social
experiments is that when one class
is selected for special favors, others
soon insist that they shall have SIM
liar treatment, and it is but a short
time before the whole system col
lapses. The government has no
funds, except what it is able to
collect from those who are self
supporting but great many do not
seem to understand this. Eventual
ly the burden will become too great,
and it does not take great stretch
of Imagination to realize what will
then happen. A great nation can
not be built up when one class has
to furnish new cars, movies, and
comfortable living for another class
which decides it should be favored
by the gods--or the government
The Matanuska experiment is but
a small project, but it illustrates the
attitude of a class which thinks the
world owes it living.

key correspondents. In Ohio, the
election assignment will be managed
by Jack Frankish, Cleveland bureau
manager. Illinois will be under the
firm hand of Boyd Lewis, central
division news manager. Oklahoma
and Missouri are the special as
signment of Gene Gillette, south
western news manager. California
will be checked by Miller Holland
west coast news manager. Henry
Minot, New England news manager,
will write the leads from the nor
may Republican strongholds in
Massachusetts,, Maine and New
Hampshire.
The New York office is geared to
compare the results with previous
elections and keep abreast the his
torical implications which the vot-
ing will show
All statiscal records have been
mounted on large boards to assure
quick reading. These placards show
the vote of all candidates in 1885,
the time polls close in various
states, the number of precincts in
each reporting area, and how all
candidates stand on major issues.
Thus when the new Congress is
elected, United Press will know at
a glace how each representative
stands on the significant issues.
Such questions as the shift in party
trength in the new Congress and
various sections of the country also
can be analysed promptly.
In addition to tabulation of ac-
tual returns, a collateral organi-
zation has been created to report
the amusing, dramatic, tragic and
human interest angles which &C
company every national election.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-04


Four years ago United Press had
amassed conclusive figures by 10
p. NJ, and before II P. M. was able
to flash the election winner By
A. M. the complexion Of the new
Congress had been determined. By
3 A. M. special issues in key states
had been settled.
The system which enabled Unit
ed Press to accomplish stellar re-
suits In the 1896 election has been
given several new streamlining fea-
lures this year, to assure even faster
vote counting.
United Press began the task of
covering this election last Jan IL.
when L. B. Nickel, superintendent
of advance election preparations,
issued his first set of instructions
to bureau managers nationwide.
Painstakingly the task Of covering
nearly 10000 precincts was carried
out. Today United Press is sure that
every precinct will be reported as
rapidly as returns are available.
Nickel began directing election
preparations for United Press in the
national campaign of 1884, and has
successfully organized for the 1896,
1888 and 1910 vote. AS early as
1912, however, Nickel was tabulat-
ing election results for United Press
In one of the state bureaus.
AS soon as the polls will get a
quick tally of the first 100 votes
counted in each boting precinct in
the nation. Hour by hour, until the
complete count is available, United
Press will carry on the job, until
not only the presidential contest,
but also the 81 senatorial, ABS con-
gressional and IS governor races are
determined.
New York again will be national
counting house for United Press.
To this central headquarters each
state organization will report hour
by hour. In New York a running
tabulation will be kept constantly,
so that instantaneous totals will be
available to United Press reporters
at every moment.
Earl J. johnson i'm Charge
Earl j. Johnson, vice president
and general news manager, again
will head the entire election COW
erage, as he did in 1896. In charge
of the tabulation will be Nickel.
Twenty members of the Washing
ton United Press staff will be
brought to New York to watch the
balloting and write expertly of the
from national point
of view.
Lyle c. Wilson. Washington bu-
reau manager, will head the writ
