ROOSEVELT Is VICTORIOUS IN THIRD TERM BID
Double Wedding
For Willow Folks

The Willow River community re-
ceived a surprise over the week lend
when news was received of the mar
riage of Miss Eva Wood, second
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Wood
and Mr.. Leslie Larson, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Oscar Larson, and Miss
Ruth Dubie, only daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Dubie, and Mr.
George Markus, son of Mrs. Anton
Markus, all of that place, and all
graduates of the Willow River high
school.
These young folks drove to Mason
City, Iowa, where they obtained their
licenses and then went on to Plym-
outh, Iowa, where they were mar
ried, leaving Friday and returning
Tuesday. They h ave no definite
plans for the future. Both men are
employed, Mr.. Larson by the Swan
son Rutabaga Co. here, and Mr.. Mar
kus has been employed on the Dubie
farm the past five years and will nc
doubt remain there for the time be-
ing.
Congratulations and best wishes
are extended to these young people
by their friends.

Stassen Defeats Petersen to Cain
Reelection as Governor; Shipstead
Easy Winner for Senatorship Post
Close Contests For
Most County Posts

The general election Tuesday for
Pine county offices brought out, as
elsewhere, one of the largest votes
ever cast here, and, coupled with
keen contests for almost every office
left the issues in doubt in most cases
until the final votes were reported
For representative in the legisla-
ture c. G. Mann, present office hold
err, defeated Erwin L. Nelson of Pine
City, by vote of 5000 to 3499. DR.
James Slaven of Pine City, crowded
Robert Wilcox all the way before
going down in defeat 4738, to 4549
the latter thus retaining the judge
of probate post. William L. Mista
present clerk of court, won from Roy
N. Sandwich, Sandstone business man.
5O22 to 4343.
The commissionership race found
the voters reversing their decisions of
two years ago in the fourth and fifth
districts. In the former Hollis Laid
was victorious over E. B. Greenwald
by the narrow margin of 1926 to 1879
and Oscar Eklund, pres ent office
holder, lost to Harry Gebhardt, who
represented the fifth up until four
years ago. In the second district the
incumbent, w. G.. Ausmus, nosed out
E. L. (Mike) Birkeland 1891 to 1912.
The vote by precincts is tabulated
elsewhere, unpffcially, in this issue.
tutional amendment was in the af-
firmative in most of the county pre-
cincts, but as is the case in many
elections when vote of the people
is to be taken on an amendment,
many of the ballots were turned in
blank.
The commissionership vote will be
found on page four; the other re-
turns are on this page.

Blaze Takes Two
Lives And New
Home InHolyoke
Mrs. Leonard Erickson is
Fatally Burned; Baby Son
Perishes i'm Flames.

The small community of Holyoke
was deeply shocked and saddened
Sunday evening when fire destroyed
the new home of Mr.. and Mrs. Leon
ard Erickson, taking the life of their
five weeks old son Raymond and
burning Mrs. Erickson so badly she
died the following morning at o.
clock. Mr.. Erickson is still in criti-
cal condition but doctors hold hope
for his recovery.
Caused by Kerosene Explosion.
The blaze started when Mrs. Erick-
son, in an attempt to hurry the sup
per fire, poured kerosene into the
stove from large can with the re-
suit that the fuel exploded, hurting
her against the kitchen door and
spreading fl anne throughout the
room. Her husband, who was in the
room at the time, rushed her out
side and managed to eXtinguish the
fire in her clothing, but not before
both were severely burned.
Nearby neighbors rushed to the
scene but in spite of all their efforts
were unable to save the baby or the
home, which by this time was entire
ly ablaZe. An ambulance was sum-
moned from Superior and the par
ents were taken to st. Mary's hospi-
tai in that city, where Mrs. Erickson
passed away. Funeral arrangements
have not been made at this writing,
pending arrival of Mr.. Erickson's
parents from Eugene, Oregon.
Home Just Completed.
The Erickson home had just been
completed the previous day and &C
cording to relatives plans had been
made to take out insurance on the
building Monday. The entire COM
munity extends heartfelt sympathy
to the bereaved husband and father
in the loss of his family and home,
and will join in giving the injured
man all the help and encouragement
it can to ease his great burden.

International
News Review
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

It caused no surprise that Greece
was attacked by Italy on October
%, for every observer of the Euro
pean war situation was almost GER
tain that such a thing was newt
able; only, it had been thought that
since Hitler had moved into Rou-
mania, it would be Germany that
made the attack. It turned out to
be Mussolini, no doubt as a result
of the last Bremen Pass conference
between the two dictators.
1t must in this connection, be
remembered that it is not only
at the conference table that these
two men discuss their plans; there
is a daily exchange of telephone
and telegraph messages or sug-
gesti0ns, and it seems quite GER
tain that Hitler is always in
formed in advance as to MussO-
lini's next step, and vice versa.
Between these two men there is
not only an alliance-there is an
intimately close form of co-opera-
ton.
We know from history, legend and
poetry that the Greeks have al
ways been heroically brave people;
they are sustaining that reputation
now, for they are giving the Italian
invaders plenty to do-so much so,
in fact, that Mussolini has to send
reinforcements and Hitler, according
to some not yet substantiated reports,
troops through countries adjacent to
the Danube river.
Cog in the Wheel.
Italy's attack on Greece seems to
be a cog in the wheel; link in a
chain of plans which may, ultimate
ly, involve Egypt. For it seems to
be almost certain that the destruc-
ton of ancient Hellas is not the ulti-
mate goal-the control of the Suez
canal is AS the Germans are unable
to give the British Isles an adequate
spanking, they-and the Italians-are
looking for weak spots in the Brit
ish empire setup. So, Suez is singled
out; the Dardanelles are scheduled
for possible attack and seizure, and
rumors persist that Francisco Franco
has permitted German soldiers to
march down through Spain to try to
take Gibraltar away from the Brit
iSh.
These three key points are the

Holmberg Defeats Mum
for Railroad and Ware

Sweeping the nation in the election
Tuesday President Franklin D. Roose-
welt became the first chief executive
term for that office. Carrying 80
states to the 9 gained by his opponent,
Wendell L. Willkie, the Democratic
candidate piled up an electoral adj
vantage of 1853 to So. The popular
vote was 2,198,7 for Roosevelt and
18,451, 148 for Willkie on the basis
of returns up to yesterday evening.
Petersen Loses.
In the state race Governor Harold
E. Stassen was reelected winning
over Hjalmar Petersen by majority
expected to reach between 100000
and 100000 votes. Petersen ran
strong on the early returns from the
Twin Cities and Duluth but as the
results from the outlying districts
kept pouring in from record break
ing vote the incumbent's lead mounted
steadily. The Minneapolis and ST.
Paul vote was split with Stassen hav-
ing small lead in the former and
his opponent taking ST. Paul. Last
night returns gave Stassen a total
of 491 1899 votes and Petersen 1885,
429 in 1866 precincts out of 1896 in
the state.

congressman
Congressman. II feel that all
Americans must be In complete
agreement that our minimum OBJ
jective must be to be overwhelm-
ingly certain Of our ability to de-
fend our native soil. There is no
need to argue the probability or
improbability of attack Certainly
the security Of our country and its
people cannot be left in the slight
est degree to the forbearance Of any
possible aggressor nation nor can
1t be left In the slightest degree to
chance. Our needs. Of course, change
with world conditions and with
changes in the strength of other
nations"
"Our immediate problem is to de-
termine the requirements Of our
armed forces which would enable
us to say with certainty that no
foreign nation could effectively at
tack this country or would dare
make the attempt"
Speaking on the matter of our
air force Congressman Smith said:
Planes Needed
Our army air force today con-
sists of some $500 planes. It Is but
a fraction Of the size needed under
today's conditions. The appropria-
tons made last year and those now
being made should bring that force
to number of some 1900 within
the next year. OF these. approxi-
mately one-half will be combat
planes, mostly bombers and pursuit
ships. We have today approx
mately 1000 army pilots, regular
and reserve, available for service.
The training programs under way
should increase this number by at
least 1000 within the next is
months. There will be provided also
some 10000 pilots with elementary
flight training through the civilian
pilot training program.
These men would, of course.
need some months of additional
training before they could man mill
tary planes. The President has set
goal Of $4,000 planes and produc-
ton capacity or 10000 planes
year. This goal will not be reached
under the present program. Our
capacity to turn out both planes
and pilots will, however. be vastly
increased during the next year. We
have doubled the enlisted strength
Of the air corps In the past year to
