Voting Safeguard
Of Our Democracy,
Points Out Hoover
by Ex-President Hoover


This is total war. Total war re.
quires the total direction of civ
ilian energies BY the Govern
ment. 1t means the temporary
yielding of large part of our
liberties in order to win the war.
The profound essential today is
that we preserve the instruments
by which these liberties are re
covered after the war. The gre at
est of all these safeguards sre
the elections. the ballot, and the
two-party system. Elections and
the ballot are not enough in
themselves to preserve liberty.
Dictatorships are founded on
one-party government. They
even occasionally allow the hal
low fraud of election - for one
party.
Never was it more necessary
to keep alive our safeguards than
today for never before was it
necessary to yield so much of lib
erty. And we owe it to our boys
who are fighting this war that
they find these foundations of
freedom intact when they re.
turn.
Therefore every citizen irrespec-
tive of how he votes should 60 to
the polls the 3rd day of Novem-
Der. 1t will be notice to the total.
itarian world that the spirit of
democracy still lives within US.

Adjust Upper Beam

1t is the upper beam that the
motorist should be concerned with
when he sets about adjusting the
headlights. If he sees that it pro-
vides light at the prescribed dis
lance ahead of the car and without
causing glare, the lower beam will
take care of itself.

The praying mantis is an insect

 MORE HELP

 fled Up Nippons

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Secre- tary of Navy Frank Knox today said it is very unlikely" the Japs are getting endorsements to troops opposing the American force on Guadalcanal

 Jap Methods Told
 Secretary Knox said it is known the Japs had method of feeding in an average of about 900 men every second night, landing from cruiser and destroyer groups.
 The Navy Secretary said it is his belief that the landing of Jap forces has stopped, for the time being, and also that Jap troops on the island, principally to the west ward of the Americans positions, have been virtually cut off from

RUSSIANS WINTER
 1 DRIVE SUCCESSFUL
Averaging 12 Miles Daily Gains Northwest and
 SouthWets of VoIqa

MOSCOW, Nov. 24-The jaws of double Russian offensive have bit deeply into the scold steppes west of the Don River Bend, to- days battlefront dispatches say.
 Already the new drive has cost the Germans 50,000 dead and cap tured
 The whole Stalingrad salient is closing steadily in on the Nazis, despite desperate German resis- tance, in an effort to keep open a corridor for reinforcement and es- cape back from Stalingrad.
 Report New Gains
 The Russians reported new gains which maintain an average of from 6 to 12 miles a day toward the northwest from Stalingrad and g to l2 miles day southwest of the city li4 ad
 The deepest reported penetration is at Chernyshevskaya on the Chir River, 125 miles west of Stalingrad and 75 miles west of Kalach, the railroad town on the Don River Bend which the Russians seized over the weekend.
 Chernyshevskaya is some 40 miles southwest of Kletskaya, the Don River citadel 100 miles north west of Stalingrad, which the Nazis overran in the fall in their drive to the Volga.
 Threaten Positions
 Now the German holding posi- tions at Kletskaya are menaced from two sides, since the Russians are also on the offensive in the Serafimoyich region 30 miles far- tfier up the Don. 1Af r
 Southwest of Stalingrad, the Russians are pushing along the rail line which leads. from Stalin- grad across the bleak Kalmyck steppes into the northern Caucasus.
