BALDWIN'S RECORD
 EMPTY SAYS GOV.
Democratic Candidate Also Lashes at Mayor McLevy
 On 1938 Vote

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 29-CUp)-- With the state election only five days away, Democratic, Republican and Socialist candidates today be- gan making their final appeals to the voting public.
 With all sides agreeing a close election was in prospect, 1t was ex- pected the last few days, before the election would be filled with speech making mostly over the radio. There have been compara- lively few rallies throughout the state.
 Gov. Hurley, seeking his second term, lashed out at Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport, Socialist gubernatorial candidate, for the first time this campaign.
 "McLevy," Ee said, -four years ago drove the venerable Wilbur Cross out of office and is now back at his old game, diverting the strength of the forces of liberalism and progress"
 It was in 1888 that McLevy boiled 166,000 votes, taking enough from pr. Cross to defeat him and elect the Republican candidate, Raymond E. Baldwin, who is now a candi- date for another term.
 Four years ago, Gov. Hurley said. McLevy retrieved for the job- greedy Republicans leaders of this state the reins of power"
 He whom he served so well in 1888, Mr. Raymond E. Baldwin, must now stand on his own empty record and upon his own plankless, purposeless. pledgeless platform"
 The governor spoke in McLevy's citadel. Bridgeport
 Baldwin, meantime, again claimed credit for establishing the first state defense council in 1889. He spoke at Hartford rally.
 We have built 6 new, vigorous, progressive Republican party here in Connecticut, he said. "as evil dence. I invite you to compare the Republican platform of 1888 with the accomplishments of 1889. We intend to keep it that way. We intend to use 1t as an instrument

 'They pushed forward at the rate of eight miles a day, bridged 200 streams, laid a roadway 24 feet be- tween ditches, and at the highest point between Fort Nelson and Wat son Lake reached an altitude of 42l2 feet.

Red Army Finds Men Frozen in Trenches in
 Caucasus FRESH TANKS BROUGHT
 UP IN STALINGRAD Nalckik, 50 Miles From MOzdOk, May Have Fallen
 to Nazis
BY HENRY SHAPIRO

AA AAeAANAN& 1AAAAA eAsO United Press Staff CorrespOndentg
 Moscow, October 29. 4 (UP) -- The Soviet press to- day credited the defenders of Stalingrad with inflicting "the greatest German defeat since the winter defeat at Moscow" and in the Caucasus Red Army troops drove for- ward in a blizzard to find Nazi troops frozen to death in their dugoutS.
 Reports from the Caucasus said the mountains were now many feet deep with snow and that temper. atures were "far below zero"
 It was announced, however, that Soviet forces had again fallen back in the vicinity of Nalchik, 50 miles southwest of Mozdok.
 (The German high command said Rumanian and German Alpine troops captured Nalchik).
 Hanks Bent Back
 On the Stalingrad front Soviet drives northwest and south Of the city bent back the German Hanks and inside the battered industrial center Nad frontal attacks were beaten off.
 The Germans were reported to have brought up fresh tank dl- vision and attacked a northern face tory district again with four infali- try and two tank divisions possibly 75,000 men-hut they advanced only 100 or 200 yards, it was said, losing about five battallons in the opera ton-approximately 4,00o to 50,O0O men.
 Northeast of the Tuapse naval base in the western Caucasus, tenn peratures were far below zero, dis patches said. The Germans were using ski and sled attachments in frantic efforts to reach the warmer coats of the Black Sea before the blizzard froze them, or made the mountains completely impossible. :.
 Snow Fills Passes
 Snow, often waist deep, already filled passes and deep gorges. the Communist party organ Prayda said. Avalancfes periodically thun- dered down the mountain sides.
 Soviet ski troops, untitled in heavy furs, were reported counters attack ing, and dispatches said they al- ready had thwarted a further pen- etration toward the Black Sea northeast of Tuapse.
 At one point, the Russians were reported to have split German and Rumanian forces, captured strate- gic height, killed hundreds of enemy troops, and captured much booty and many prisoners.
 Pravada reported that Russian caravans of horses and donkeys laden with supplies were streaming through the snow toward mountain positions. But the snow was so deep that the caravans often became ex- hausted. Then men took the sup plies from the beasts and packed them themselves. Pravda said men often were carrying mountain guns 15 miles after horses and mules bog ged down.
 Attack Thown Back
 At Stalingard, where the weather was verging on winter and just such blizzards as those sweeping the Western Caucasus, the Russians threw back an attack by 1000 Nazia and killed more than 100.
 But in the eastern Caucasus. around Nalchik, 50 miles southwest of Mozdok. the Soviet high com- mand reported the second setback in 24 hours.
 CThe Germans claimed today tnat Rumanian forces had captured Nal~ chik).

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
.(Continued from Page u

stSOLIluueO IrOm rage ~
Force bombers-atta German in
stallations at the northern-French
city of Lille, and did tremendous
damage.
In Berlin it was feared-and
likely with complete justification
that this was merely the be-
ginning of an air offensive so
tremendous that the world has
never seen its like.
It seems quite certain that in Lon
don and Washington plans have been
completed for the destruction of
large number of Hitler's war plants,
airports, shipyards, docks and rail-
way communication lines. To an ever
increasing extent Americans are des-
tined to take part in this great of
fenSive
Island Fronts.
On the other fronts Americans
have been very active, too, especially
in the Aleutian Islands, not so far
from Alaska.
Here they have succeeded in
chasing away all Japanese forces
from the islands of Attu and
Agattu and are now doing their
utmost to eliminate the enemy
from the one remaining island
still occupied by him, that of
Kiska.
It is considered almost a certainty
that this objective will be attained,
and in that case one menace to the
North American continent will have
been removed.
In the far southwestern Pacific, the
Americans are holding their own on
the Solomon islands, although it is
admitted in Washington that Jap
anese reinforcements still are able
to land on some of the islands.
New Guinea Retreat.
On the island of New Guinea the
retreat of the japanese from the
point which they had reached about
80 miles from Port Moresby con-
tinues, and continues so fast that
the Australian pursuers are not able
to catch up with the fleeing enemy.
Some observers on the spot
begin to think that Japan is
abandoning her plans Of making
an attempted invasion of Aus
tralia, and to that extent the
happenings in New Guinea may
be put down as United Nations
victory.
Altogether, signs of the week point
in the direction of slowly weaken
ing Axis power.

ELECT THE BEST
Editor Askov American:

Editor ASkov American:
The fate of our country-in war
or peace-rests on the men we elect
to Congress.
The League of Women Voters asks
you to measure the candidate you
are considering for Congress.
Here is a yard stick! Would he
put country before party? Would
he put winning the war before all
other considerations? If he measures
up, go to the polls and vote for him
on November 3. Be sure to elect the
best man for Congress-only the best
will do.
We, in the United States, can still
pick our leaders. This November
election is probably the most import
ant one ever held in this country.
France left her thinking to her
political leaders-let's not share her
debacle.
Ebert D. Thomas (Senator from
Utah) says: eff we were faced with
the last election of all time, I wonder
what we would do with our oppor-
tunity. I wonder if every announce
ment of candidacy for every job
would not be scrutinized and studied.
1 wonder if any minority, anywhere
in this broad land, would be able to
elect through the indifference of, in
the teeth of, and under the very eyes
of the majority. wonder if person
incumbent whose public acts had not
been above the lightest reproach
would be considered. I wonder
whether criminal heart could circus
it's way into martyrdom and SYM
pathetic election.
I wonder what America, really
awake, would be like!"
The League of Women Voters is
urging every qualified voter to cast
his vote on November for the man
of his choice Women from this or

ing about the highest tax rate on
iron ore in the history of the state,
while it hides the facts as to how
the game was played to actually
lower the tax
The 1913 session of the Minnesota
Legislature should fix the taxable
value of iron ore for the occupation
tax for 1912 to be paid in 1943. If l
am elected governor I shall embody
that proposal in my message to the
Legislature so that the state of Min
nesota may collect the additional
taxes of millions of dollars on the
huge mining operations of 1912, to
which the state is entitled.
The feasibility of processing iron
ore in northern Minnesota is another
problem that will receive my atten-
ton. Investigation and fact finding
with that in view will be undertaken.
If the mining companies are re-
quired to pay proper occupation
tax on the current production of
approximately 90,000,000 tons per
year, we will collect during the next
three Or four years from Is to 20
million dollars more than if the
present governor is continued in Of
flee to play with the steel trust This
additional money will assist our peo-
pie in solving the war problems, and
will put our finances in excellent
condition to meet the post war period.
