equally with all citizens and share the
rights that are guaranteed by our con-
stitution. Congress should exert its full
constitutional power TO protect those
rights"
While the racial plank may not be
as strong as could be desired, il was
strong enough to nightly displease the
tory-minded among the southern dele
gates.
Then the concluding section said
''To these beliefs the Democratic party
subscribes. These principles the Demo-
cratic party pledges itself in solemn
sincerity 10 maintain"
That would seem to place every
Democratic congressman and senator,
every candidate for party honor to go
along with the program. Only the con
tinued demand of the voters and the
people as whole will insure these
pledges being carried out without
amendment.

Columbus, O., Nov. 7.-(UP)- Gov. John w. Bricker, Republi- can vice presidential nominee, await ed election returns at the executive mansion today, secure in his "con- sidered judgment" that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, his running mate, will be victorious today.
 Bricker made an election eve broadcast over a statewide radio hookup last night, but devoted his time to urging election of the state Republican ticket.
 He recited the accomplishments of his six years as governor in which he said he turned $40,000,- GOO deficit inherited" from the previous Democratic administration into a $1OO,000,0O0 surplus.
 He pledged for the election of Mayor James Garfield Stewart of Cincinnati as governor of Ohio. He termed Mayor James Garfield Stew art of Cincinnati as governor of Ohio. He termed Mayor Frank J. Lausche of Cleveland, Democratic gubernatorial nominee, the "New Deal candidate"
 We don't want, in Ohio, New Deal Administration" Bricker said. we don't want an administration that is patterned after or even in- spired by the New Deal.

 Rep. Hamilton Fish, Jr., R., N. Y. vs. August w. Bonnet, nominee of the Democratic, American Labor, good government, and liberal par ties. The issue: Fish,s pre-Pearl Harbor isolationism.
 Rep. Stephen A. Day, R., Ill. vs. Emily Taft Douglas D. Day was supported by the Chicago Tribune and the issue was the same as in Fish's case.
 Rep. Clare Boothe Luce R., Conn, vs. Margaret E. Connors, D., and Stanley w. Mayhew, Socialist. Miss Connors has campaigned on a promised to cooperate with Pres ident Roosevelt's programs if they both win.
 House Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin, Jr., Mass, vs Edmond P. Talbot, D. The Democrats have been claiming that the veteran Mar tin has g. race on his hands.
 Rep. Andrew J. May, D., Ky, vs Elmer E. Tabbard, R. Republicans think Tabbard may win.
 Independent Republican
 Rep. Usher L. Burdick, R., N. D., vs Charles R. Robertson, R., and J. L. Kennedy, D. Burdick sought the Republican nomination for sen- ator against Sen. Gerald P. Nye and lost. He is seeking reelection to the House as an Independent Re- publican.
 Hal Styles, D., Calf, vs Gordon L. McDonough, R. Styles defeated Rep. John Costello for the Demo- cratic nomination. In the campaign the charge of membership in the Ku Klux Klan was raised against Styles, and Republicans assert Mo- Donough is in.
 If the Republicans recapture the House control which they lost after the 1880 election, and if Martin survives the race with Talbot he will become speaker to succeed Sam Rayburn of Texas. In all his years as Republican leader, Martin has had but one am- bition-to become speaker. After the l940 presidential campaign, during which he served as Republican na- tional chairman, Martin quickly scotched reports that he might be available as presidential candidate III 1944. He told newspaper men then that he'd rather be speaker than president.

 Organized BOmbings
 They have organized a number Of bombings of police stations and other public buildings and robbed British banks throughout Pales- tine. Their members, disguised as British soldiers, have stolen arms and ammunition from British arms dumps.
 At the height of disorders in Pal eStine last August, 10 men armed with tommy guns ambushed Sir Harold McMichael, then British high commissioner for Palestine, while he was motoring from Jerusa- lem to Jaffa. He was wounded, but recovered.
 Palestine came within Moyne's jurisdiction as resident commis- sioner for the Middle East. Police said his assaSsins had been trailing him since Oct. 27 to ascertain his routine movements.
 After firing on him with revolv- CTS, the two youths attempted to escape on bicycles. One was felled and wounded by an Egyptian con- stable, while the other was over- taken by street crowds.
 Three Bullets
 Doctors removed two of the three bullets from Moyne's body at hos pital, gave him a blood transmission and treated him with penicillin, but he failed to rally.
 Sir William Croft, secretary at the minister's office, said the act was "a. particularly senseless as- Sassination, bound to recoil on the heads of those responsible for it."
 Moyne, former colonial and agri- culture minister in Britain, was named deputy minister of state in Cairo in 1942 and succeeded to the resident ministership last year. He accompanied British Foreign Secre- tary Eden on his recent visit to Athens.
 Moyne was one of the richest men in Britain.

mean a change in military conduct of the war. Dewey promised that the hands of military leaders would "be strengthened by the end of civilian confusion in Washington"
 we all know that the war is be- ing fought, not only on the fighting front, but also on the home front" Dewey asserted. Everyone has had a chance to see the administrators part in the war effort at home to watch the operation of the scores of agencies that have to do with the daily lives of our people.
 Improvement Needed
 T think that every one. from the housewife who struggles with a new rationing problem every week, to the industrial executive who strug- gled with priorities and allocations - everyone will agree that we need improvement and need 1t badly"
 Recalling that General Dwight D. Eisenhower, supreme Allied com- mander in Europe, told us twice that the war in Europe would be ended in 1914 if everyone at home would do his part" yet President Roosevelt has said that the war Has still long way to go," Dewey challenged:
 Plainly things have not been go- ing in Washington as well as Gen. eral Eisenhower expected and had right to expect. That is. the basic reason why we should install in Washington a vigorous and com- petent administration that will put into the war effort at home a pur- pose and unity equal to that of our military leaders on the fighting fronts"
 Turning to the problem of future peace when this war is won, Dewey declared that the American people are nearly unayI'rA"VE de- termination ito A ..s eHder with the people of other nations in set- ting up a world organization for peace"
 Hardest Part
 "But," he warned, "the hardest part of the task is still ahead. So far as American participation is concerned, the difficult details must be worked out between the con- gresS and the President.
 T have unlimited faith that 1t can be done by a President and a congress working together, in har- mony. It will take hard work, pa- tience and understanding upon all sides"
 Dewey argued likewise, that ''his- tory must not repeat the breadlines and soup kitchens to which our soldiers returned after the last war. under another tired, war-weary ad- ministrtion."
 In conclusion, Dewey posed for voters in today's election three ques- tions:
 How can I help shorten the war? How can help secure lasting peace? How can help give jobs and op- portunity in the years that lie be- yond our victory?"
 If you will soberly ask yourself these questions and will think the answers through in the light of your own knowledge" he said, T have no doubt of the outcome"

 American and German tanks blazed away at each other from a range of several hundred yards or less and most of the town already was in ruins. Vossenack controls the road leading to Konnierscheidt, two miles to the southeast, and its fall would cut of American troops in the latter town.

 In eastern rFance, It. Gen. Jacob L. Devers' 9th Army group continued its slow but steady progress through the foothills of the Vosges Moun- tains and field dispatch said his forces now were within 20 miles of the important stronghold of Col mar on 20-mile front.
 Berlin reported yesterday that the 9th Army group had begun break through drive through the Vosges, but supreme headquarters refused to comment. Dispatches told only of a continuation of the mile-per- day advances that have been main tained for nearly a month.
 American and French troops were within two miles of both St. Die and Gerardmer and rapidly were out fianking the Belfort Gap, main tageway through the Vosgoestto the Rhineland, from the North.

camp, their total would be at least R1.
 The Democratic Party was sure of nine states - Arizona, Arkansas, Fqorida, Missouri, New Mexico North Carolina, Rhode Island, Texas and west Virginia-to add to its holdoyer strength in 10 states: Ala hama. Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland Mississippi, Nevada, South Carolina Virginia, wyoming and Oklahoma.
 They expected, also, to capture Indiana and Tennessee for 8 total uf 2l. thereby putting the emphasis for a balance of power in the six other contests.
 Massachusetts and Connecticut were the only doubtful states in the East. while other heated battles were limited primarily to the vest ern regions.
 In the Bay State, where Boston's Democratic Mayor, Maurice J: To- bin. was neck k-and-neck with Lieu tenant Governor Horace T. Cahill, observers weighed Cahil's chances in Ahe light of the strength he derives as to party mate of the popular Governor Leverett Saltonstall, who es assured of a seat in the U. 5. Senate.
 Governor Raymond E. Baldwin, one of 12 Republicans seeking re- election, was vigorously fighting ln Connecticut against former Demo- cratic Governor Robert A. Hurley, who was swept into office on Pres- ndent RooSevelt's coat tails in 194O and was beaten by Baldwin in 1922.
 Tn Indiana, Democratic Senator Samuel D. Jackson was matched against strong Republican candi- date, Ralph Gates. The present gov- ernor. Henry F. Schrickern was a senatorial contender. Both candi- dates had strong support in indus trial districts. Political observers conceded the likelihood of Demo- cratic state victory even if Indiana went for Dewey.
 Although not in the close cate gory, the Ohio gubernatorial elec- lItion attracted attention. It pitted ECleveland's Democratic mayor, Frank J. LauSche-who was ex- Ipectsd to win-against another municipal chief, Republican James IG. Stewart of Cincinnati. Lausche, Who bucked the Democratic state organization in his mayoral fight and woh was opposed by the Amer acan Federation of Labor, was 9-5 fayorite in betting circles.
 Gubernatorial contests in Color ado and Idaho, both Democratic, were expected to be decided by the vote for the presidential candidates.
 The Washington battle, which appeared to lean to the incumbent, Republican Arthur B. Langlie, was marked by the stiff opposition of Democratic Senator Mon c. Wall gren.
 Tn addition to Baldwin and Lang lie, 10 Republicans were seeking reelection: John c. Vivian of Col orado; Walter w. Bacon of Dela- ware, blight H. Green of Illinois, Andrew F. Schoeppel of Kansas, Harry F. Kelly of Michigan, Edward U. Thye of Minnesota, Sam c. Ford of Montana. Dwight Griswold of Nebraska, M. e. Sharpe of South Dakota and Walter s. Goodland of Wisconsin.
 Democratic repeaters-all deemed eafe-.were Sidney P. Osborn of Arizona, J. J. Dempsey of New Mex leo, Howard McGrath of Rhode Island, Coke R. Stevenson of Texas and Herbert B. Nav of Utah.

 He predicted that the years from 1945 to 1949 will be important, diff cult years, requiring vigorous. hard working, harmonious leaders with abiding faith in America"
 He argued that the record of the Roosevelt administration has been such that i've dare not risk leaving this vital labor in the hands of those who have grown tired and quarrelSome from 12 years in office. " He expressed unlimited faith that it can be done by 8 president and Congress working together, in har- mony."

 This time he messaged Stalin:
 "It gives me great pleasure to send my congratulations on the an- niversary of the founding of the Soviet state. I wish your country and yourself all success in peace as in war and pray that the Anglo Soviet alliance may be the cause of much benefit to our two coun- tries, to the United Nations and tc the world"
 In a separate message Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden told For- eign Commissar V. M. Molotov:
 Message
 T have the particular pleasure this year, MT. Molotov, in convey ing to you on behalf of his majesty s government a message of good wishes on the occasion of the Soviet National Day.
 "To the victories of the Red Army in the East have been added the victories of the Allied armies in the West. Our common enemy has by these events been brought to the verge of final defeat and the last supreme effort will suffice for his overthrow. Meanwhile the meeting at Moscow has strength ened and deepened the friendship between the Soviet Union, Great Britain and the United States on which the future happiness of man. kind in so large measure depends.
 T know the people of Great Brit ain are as one with his majesty's government in wishing the Soviet people and the armed forces of the Soviet Union success and prosperity for the future"
