POLITICS AS USUAL

The surprisno thino about this wartime Pres'-

that it demanded But they didn't, and probably be-
couse no one, not even the professional politicians
reolized quite how strongly the traditional manner
Of eIectoneerinq hos fostened|ftselt upon u.s.
So we succumbed to mass political hyPnot'sm'
as is our quodrennio custom. There was some eroV-
ity and decorum at the beginning But the cono'-
dotes we're simply starting up in low eeor, and the
whole country seemed to feel more natural when
they shifted into high The usual wove OF EMOTIONAL
Ism. exoqaeroton and equvocotion swept through
both porties, and eneulfed them.
Now we are once again in the homestretch, and
once ooon oficeseekers and their confederotes are
expendno breath, time and money on speeches de-
stoned 70 provide ammunition for voters who have
oIreody made up their minds, to use against people
of opposite political beliefs who have already made
up theirs.
These speakers more often than not, are respon-
sbIe men and women in high places who would shud-
der at ony other time to utter rash and incorporate
statements that issue from their lips today But no
one holds them morally responsible. For, by on &C.
eepted sef-deception that is strange and subcon-
scious they and their hearers oeree to believe thun-
derous hoIf-truths and extrovoeont nonsense until
Nov. 7.
And thus once more the echoes and the radio
woves resound with rhetoric, hypeboIe and downright
insult And the candidates outdone by their sup
porters who os usual circulate rumors which ore not
only ridiculous but dserocefuI, and which could
hardly have been planted by even the lowest echelon
of professional politics. Wde-eyed and eulible as
children, the voters either believe them or dignity
them by attempts OF serious refutoton.
In the meantime, while all this hos been going
on factory chimneys have kept smoking as Roose-
welt and Dewey supporters, side by side, have con-
tinued to turn out the tools Of Meanwhile Ger

invoded and men have died in bottle, and victory
has come closer.
On Nov 8 the national political trance will end

continue the war as united nation.

it is space well used. He had his

War agency heads are Harry

Labor leaders honored are
Bill Green, Phil Murray and
John L. Lewis. Industrialists
Henry j. Kaiser and Eric John

Everyone will have his own
nominations as to who should
be included on any Washington

speculative interest is the list of
those who were not included.
Where, for instance, are Di-

Major General Lewis Hershey,
the late Office of Defense Trans

Carter Glass. Taft Vandenberg,
White, Wheeler and the B-2-H-2

Senate? In the House, where
does Joe Martin rate for con-

AMONG THE MISSING
II Harry Hopkins is included,

Other journalists not without
