EDITORIAL
THE AMERICAN WAY

Breaking all precedents, ig- noring traditional customs, the American people yesterday re- elected President Roosevelt for a third term py an overwhelming majority.
 It was a free election, in a free country, by free people.
 Fifty million men and women went quietly to their respective polling places and registered their votes for the candidates of their choice. The largest vote yet recorded in the history of the na !. ton. No threat of coercion, no display of military power, no fear of reprisalS marred the way of the voter as he left his home, office or workshop to exercise his sacred right of franchise.
 Never before in the history of this Republic has presidential election created so much inter est. This interest was not confin edto the United States alone It was the subject of concern in every capitol of Europe, Asia and the Antipodes. For weeks past and particularly in the clos ing days of the contest radios blared forth opinions of states men of all foreign countries as to what might be the foreign pol icy of this nation in the event of a change in the national admins tration. In other words the eyes of the world were centered upon the American election.
 America held it's election in true American fashion. Both con tending forces used every con ceivable legal argument to win the voters to their particular candidate. It was a strenuous campaign. The President, due to the seriousness of the situation in Europe did not travel far afeld from his office in Washing ton where he is in almost hourly contact with his ambassadors and emissaries abroad. Never remain ing more than twelve hours aW- ay from Washington, this de- prived him of visiting the mid de, western and southern states.
 MT. Willkie on the contrary, had no responsibilities of public office to demand his time or pre- vent him from visiting all sec tions of the nation which he did in the interest of his candidacy.
 The republican candidate con- ducted vigorous campaign thru out the entir country closing in New York City with the largest aggregation of political speakers

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS

ever witnessed on the eve of election.
 While the Republican Party in this campaign went before the electorate and condemned the re- cord of the Roosevelt administra ton as one of failure in its dom- estic policy and of inexperienced muddling in foreign affairs; still MT, Willkie virtually endorsed MT. Roosevelt's entire program of the last seven and one-half years. He assured the voters that if elected he would continue, and enlarge the scope of the Social Security Act so that it would apply to more classes of work CTS. He approved the Wages and Hours Act; Collective bargaining and all other measures that would give labor a greater share of the nations wealth. He promis ed the farmers there would be no change in the farm program if he were elected; and he even went as far as guaranteeing to the users of electricity the pro- duce of the natural water pow CT of the nation in the hands of the people.
 He assured the people of the nation that he would continue un limited aid to England with even more speed than at present. He deplored the large number of unemployed in the nation but of fered no remedy.
 President Roosevelt promised nothing new to attract the vot- CTS. He simply went before the people and stood on his record of achievement. And the voters in the good fashioned Ameri- can way went to the polls and registered their verdict which was overwhelmingly in favor of carrying on under President Roosevelt for another four years.
 The American people have req son to be proud today that in contrast to the conditions which prevail in practically every coun try in the world with few ex- captions we are still a democracy where free people can exercise their free use of the franchise and when the contest is over the vanquiShed congratulates the vic tor as did MT. Willkie and MT. McNary in their respective tele grams to President Roosevelt when the returns showed that he was victorious. They not alone congratulated him on being re- elected to the highest office in the gift of the American people, but each offered every possible aid to the President to carry on the affairs ofthe nation. This is the true American spirit. This is the essence of democracy. May it ever be so with our nation.

what classes Of employees will be
needed. how. soon the need for more
workers will be felt, and Il world of
questions along similar lines.
Right Off, Commissioner ShufOrd
found himself i'm an awkward posi-
ton To answer. He knows. in gen.
Cral way uI course, that the textile
industry will be affected by defense
plans. Misunderstanding concerns, for
example, are already loaded down
with all the contracts they can pos
Sibly handle. They are making blan-
kctS for the government. But Mr.
ShufOrd doesn't know just how many
textile plants there are. Just where
they are located, nor how many
workers they employ.
He knows. too. that there are some
industrial chemical plants which
might. in time Of emergency, be eX-
banded to participate in defense
manufacturing: but he .0esnt know
how many. or where ,ney are. And
50 il is with other industries.
The department already has the
authority to gather statistics: but 1t
hasn't the personnel and it hasn't the
money to hire hte personnel. MIR.
Shufurd feels that it he had even
money to hire the personnel. Mr..
tea! expert, at say $500 4 year, he
could meet the most crying needs;
bu; he hasn't the $500 and won't
have it unless the 1871 General AS
semb!y likes his department better
than most recent legislatures have.

ing at night. He seemed fragile,
designed for little town, a small
house and garden and much peace.
She waited until the green traffic
light changed to red. The air was
growing cooler, and there was a
hint of rain in it. Traffic was
speeding swiftly up the avenue and
voices were a little more rested as
people passed.
She glanced at the clock ON the
Grand Central Palace and noticed
that she had been gone barely 10
minutes. Ronald had given her a
pass to his show, so she decided
that when the work was finished
and Mr.. Bagley came at ten, she
would slip into a dark seat, watch
the play end, then wait for him.
She crossed the street then, en-
tered her office building, and re-
membered that Caroline was home
alone waiting for Terry to call.
Linda was fairly sure that Terry
would not call. BY this time his
evening must be arranged.
Quite probably Caroline was un-
happy. Linda decided to call Caro-
line from the pay telephone in a
booth on the first floor Of her
building. After all, Clarabell Ack-
erman knew Caroline and there
was no use letting the strange girl
guess that the model was unhappy.
With her mind made up, Linda
put a nickel in the slot and dialed.
She would ask Caroline to meet
her at the theater, see the finale OF
the musical, and then 60 on with
her and Ronnie for whatever they
might do. Her conscience hurt her
as she waited for an answer.
She had left Caroline alone so
much lately-whilc she was away
on business, on the house party on
the Markley yacht, and other eve
rirgs. True, two girls who shared
the same roof and door key had no
claim on each others time, she tolu
herself, but if you were kind, you
wanted those around you to be
happy.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

QUITE IDLY Linda bought an
evening paper from a corner news
stand as she crossed the street to
the all-night coffee pot where she
would get a sandwich and some
ice cold milk.
She was not thinking about her
picture or the announcement that
might be made as she opened it
and spread it on the counter.
Therefore, she gave a squeal of
pure surprise when she saw her
face smiling back at her.
The story was brief. 1t didn't
concern her nearly as much as it
did Ronnie. He was one of the
young swing princes with follow
ing. It was news to The public that
he was in love. A couple of hum
dred thousand Jltterbugs would
read the lines with excited interest.
She smiled, slipping the milk. That
was all right. She couldn't write,
paint, act, sing or do anything else
well enough to make career of it.
She wanted to be RonaldS wife
and make him a success.
The man behind the counter an
swered the telephone and called
to her: 1.-THE girl working with you
wants vanilla milk shake. Near
ly through? Shall 1 put it on?"
She nodded, wrinkling her nose,
wondering if Ronnie had seen the
papers. She wondered, too, just
how the story had broken. Surely
he couldn't have told The reporters.
That wasn't his place. Oh, of,
course, shows have public relations
men, and it was their job to make
news out of every event, she de-
cided.
She turned the page and began
to read a chit-chat gossip column
which concerned people whose
names were news in the social,
theatrical, literary and professional
world. Sometimes she found a
name she knew III the column, now
that Ronald had opened magic
doors to her. Sometimes thu Bag
ley models were mentioned and it
was her job to made notations
when they were.
With her sandwich raised to her
mouth she stopped. Her own name
was staring at her in the paper.
Her name was there, and Ronalds
name and-and Sarahs name.
She drew a deep breath, put the
sandwich on the plate, and read
slowly:
Announcement Of the coming
ing marriage of the crooner-swing-
.trumpeteer, Ronnie Stafford, was
made by Sarah Markley, daughter
of the producer of the show that
swung the Stafford horn over the
top. Society wonders why she
broadcast the news. BY the way,
.Ronnie is marrying Linda Avery,
:receptionist at the Bagley office,
where beauty assemblies daily"
Two emotions surged through
Linda as she read the notice. There
was one of relief because Ronald
had not told the press of the en-
;gagement. There was one Of dis
trust of the girl who had. Was
Sarah going to be a plague for
ever and forever? Or was she try
ing to get Ronald out of her life
as quickly as she could?
The man behind the counter had
prepared the milk shake and placed
the container by her plate. Mechan-
ically Linda picked up her check,
paid the bill, and started across the
street.
The janitor and Waterman from
Linda's floor was eating at the
counter and turned to smile at her
as she passed. He was tinnid old
man with white hair and a beard.
Often she had wondered why he
had to work in a city office build
