 In it's broader aspects-as the from Mars might view 1.-the most impressive fact about the election is that here, in the midst of a world re- sounding to the clash of arms nation dedicated to democracy carried it's democracy in practice to the polls It decides momentous issues by count of noses and not by weight of armament
 From this standpoint the election was far more significant than the successes and the failures of individual candidates would indicate. We saw democracy at work under strain and coming through with it's confidence unshaken and it's good nature nruffled.
 Here a demonstration which no foreign poli- tician ambitious for power could ever understand. This is not the way pseudo-democracy works. It is achievement that European dictator would scorn, whether he understood it or not
 But no sounder preachment can be given Ameri- in these trying days than that in matters of essential national policy they shall cultivate the sense of unity which alone, in the long run, this last outpost of democracy in the western world
 The Films put up a magnificent resistance against the Russian military machine because they were united people cherishing in common the tra- dtions of their beloved country. The Greeks, fac ing the terrific pressure of the Axis powers, similarly surprising the world with the tenacty of their defense. Here too it's the unity of people proud of their heritage which puts courage in their hearts and strength in their arms.
 The French, by contrast wilted before the Nazi onslaught not because they outnumbered much because they had inferior equipment, but because they had surrendered themselves beforehand to internal dissension.
 There are lessons aplenty in all this for Ameri- The weeks of comparative quiet after hotly fought election good time to take them to heart No who fought the campaign battle fairly has anything to regret From the pieces of shat tered dream let those who lost help build better nation Upon those who won rests the responsibility to govern in way to justify the peoples trust.

TWO GARNER PICTURES

Outgoing Vice President Jack Garner is the only man in history to have his picture hung at both ends of the Capitol. An oil paint ing of the former Speaker hangs in the House lobby, and another portrait, by ward Chandler Christie, has just been put up in the Senate lobby :. Henry Wal lace, in preparation for taking over Gamers gavel, is cramming on parliamentary procedure. He is learning the fine points from Colo mel Edwin Halsey, veteran Senate secretary, and smart majority clerk Leslie Biffle. A strong possi- bility to succeed Representative Joe Martin as National Republican Chairman is Dave Ingalls, popular
 smooth working cousin and cam paign manager of Senator Bob Taft
 Although Ingalls nearly licked Will kie at Philadelphia, the latter be- came fond of Dave in the campaign and consulted him frequently. h. gals also stands high with All Landon, the man who got Martin
 appointed as national chairman.

great election like that of l940 should empha- size not much the nations differences it's un- ity For months argued issues vitally important to the welfare of the state The fact that the day after election they accepted the peoples verdict, whether they were pleased or disappointed, should not discourage any of them from continuing the discussion.

 Acclaimed by millions, President Roosevelt re- turns to office for another four years. He finds awaiting him at his desk problems to tax the patience and statesmanshp of any man. Among these are many in the domestic field, and on these problems the President needs reminder that there are some 22000000 American voters who differ with him to the extent that they wanted somebody else in the White House. This sizable group has the same in- terest in Americas welfare as the larger group which the election In all essential matters touching the objectiveS of national policy they think alike They do not differ in the measure of their support accorded the new regime
 MT. Roosevelt himself would be less than human if he did not in view of his great new vote of con- fidence feel obligated to do everything possible to justify the unprecedented mark of favor. At their polling places the American people made decision destined to rank important in the history of the nation They definitely broke with the past in dis carding the preeept and practice of all former Presi- dents to give this a third term

MINERS REVOLT?

Meanwhile, Lewis is having a very stormy time within his own United Mine Workers.
 Under it's bylaws he is sure of reelection, since nominations for president closed several months ago, and he is the only candidate Phil Murray, UNIV vice president was backed by several locals, but refused to enter the race against his old chief.
 This means that Lewis $25, ,000- a-year -plus-expenses are safe. But that isn't keeping the rank and file from talking revolt. In scores of UNIV local in Pennsylvania West Virginia. Ohio, Kentucky ane other miner states there is fierce resentment against Lewis antics il the recent campaign.
 District leaders report pictures O Lewis being draped with crepe ane placarded with signs reading. "Oul lost leader" "he was good man. once,' Goodbye, John." Privatel.

shall control the CIO Lewis, plus his Communist-felloW traveller al- lies; or the big, pro-New Deal un- ions. The fight involves two separ- ate prizes: CD the presidency; CD the executive council
 Under the existing CIO set-up each of the 43 affiliates has repre- sentation on the council. This means first, that the 20 little un- ions, with less than 25,000 mem- bers, mostly of reddish tinge, have a disproportionate voice in the council: second, that the council is too costly and cumbersome for frequent meetings, thus giving the president what amounts to a free hand.
 John L. Lewis and his left-wing cohorts want to retain this set-up. The anti-Lewisites are determined either to liberalize it or. quit the CIO.

Engineers will prosper greatly and Americans will prove their extreme aptitude for scientific pursuits. Meteorologists now will reap re- wards for long preparation for work most important to aviation.
 National Issues: As the Federal government proves it's efficiency in registering men for war service and in preparing them to defend the nation, there is a sign indicat- ing a strange inability to round up gangsters and public enemies, so that they can be eliminated from American cities.

A Needless Complication
Cincinnati Enouirer)

The least useful college in the United States, undoubtedly is the electoral college. Numerous Sena- tors and Representatives, in both parties have de- cared for it's abolition. They are on firm ground
 The usefulness of the electoral college lost very soon after the founding of republic. The framers intended that the people should choose a body of outstanding citizens, who turn would meet and choose a President and Vice President. They could not have anticipated the development Of political parties. and of the machinery of nomina- ton.
 Today the President and Vice President are elected directly by the people for the formality of the electoral college and the possibility that a candidate might win popular majority and still fail to obtain majority of the electoral votes
 It is argued in defense of the electoral college that its abandonment would depreciate the impor- tance of the States. This hardly stands up under analysis.
 The real objection to the electoral system is that tempts the major parties and candidates to strug gle bitterly for the marginal votes in few crucial States such as New York, Ohio, and Illinois for ample It would be better if every voter in every state had ballot of equal value in the count. The tendency then would be for the candidates to appeal to all voters Americans, not to small groups in key States in terms of their particular interests

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24

Adverse aspects are active today in planetary governm ent. The churches are subject to influences that seem to presage extraordinary tasks in the coming winter. This is a sway not helpful to religious interests.
 Heart and Home: Church observ- ances should be made a family habit at this time when the need of faith in the ultimate working out of human problems will be ap- parent The building of character is one of the factors in assuring national stability. The stars are read as encouraging to deceit and secret plotting among European rulers, and the planetary influ- ences will be felt on this hemis- phere. Honesty and truthfulness must be our watchwords. .
 Business Affairs: Good feeling will be prevalent as unemployment sinks to an appreciable degree Re- tail merchants will profit Pros- perity will be enjoyed by the aver- age person who does not study the stock market or financial trends. Warning is given that wages and salaries should not be spent care lessly, for there are portents of great economic tests within two years.
 National Issues: Members of the Cabinet are to prove their ability in meeting complicated problems. While there will be differences of opinion regarding outstanding poli- cies the stars presage real states manship. Secrecy regarding motives actuating courageous initiative nec- essarily will be maintained and will cause misjudgment. Warning is given that overwork will cause dis abilities among statesmen.
 International Affairs: The stars favor the final victory of British arms, but only after severe Strug- gle against fearful odds. The Unit ed States inevitably must extend the fullest possible aid and will execute brilliant move of some sort. The hatred of the Nazis will flare up in an international incl dent of great significance. The Duke of Windsor is to be involved in an embarrassing situation for Uncle Sam. 8
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of great activity that brings success. Naval or army connections will be fortu- nate
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be well-balanced, cautious and prudent. Popularity and suc- cess are forecast.

MONDAY. NOVEMBER 25

Astrologers read this as an un- important day in planetary direc- ton. It is most favorable to the planning and development of fu- ture policies or activities The morn- ing is promising for constructive work.
 Heart and Home: The later hours today should be fortunate, but only to a limited extent. The morning is favorable for routine tasks. There may be a tendency to self-pity on the part of girls who find life less of a playday than they planned it to be. There may be mild love affairs under this configuration, but boy friends may be discursive in their interests. Housekeepers who have not bought their winter blan- kets may find prices soaring.

 All my captains are deserting me-" Lewis parked bitterly.
 T wouldn't put it that way, John," shot back Bittner. We've fought side by side for many yeas and now suddenly you are out of step with the rest of us. I'm for Roosevelt and I'm going to stay for him. And I'll tell you something else.
