OVERLOOKED BY NEWS

We have all been overjoyed by
the news from the far Pacific,
5000 miles away. Never before in
all of history has il been pos
sible successfully 10 conduct such
massive operations with such long
lines of supply and communica-
ton
In the Pacific theater, even
while We are fighting major war
in Europe, our advance toward
Japan is many months ahead of
our own optimistic schedule, but
we must remember that any mill
tary operation conducted al such
distance is a hazardous under
taking
In any long advance, progress
may be interrupted by checks or
setbacks. However, ultimately our
advance will stop only in Tokyo
itself.

termined that this must not
happen again - that the dis
astruus mistakes of the past shall
not be repeated-that this nation
shall be committed 10 play a lead
ing part in world organization
which shall be strong and effec-
tive and enduring.
We have been told during thus
political campaign that unless the
American people elect the Repub-
lican presidential choice, the Con
gress will not cooperate in the
peace. This is a threat TO build
a party spite-fence between US
and the peace.

RESULT OF PLANNING

Our success has been the result
OF planning and organization and
building; II has been the result Of
the hardest work and the hardest
fighting of which our people are
capable.
On the other side of the world,
in Europe, the Allied forces un-
der Gen. Eisenhower are pounding

We do not expect TO have a
winter lull in Europe. We expect
to keep striking-to keep the
enemy on the. move--to hit him
again and again-to give him no
rest-and 10 drive through to the
final objective-Berlin.
In Italy, against the handicap
of rugged mountain obstacles and
against bitter German resistance,
the Allied armies are steadily
moving forward, wearing down

ALL YEARN FOR PEACE


And all of them have this in
common =. that they yearn for
peace and stability, and they look
TO America with hope and faith.
The world is rising from the
agony Of the past, the world is
turning with hope To the future.
1t would be a sorry and cynical
thing to betray this hope for the
sake of mere political advantage
and a tragic thing to shatter it
because of the failure of vision.
There have been some other
aspects of this campaign which
have been distasteful to all of us.
This campaign has been marred
by even more than the usual crop
of whiSperingS and rumorings.
Some of these get into print. in
certain types of newspapers;
others are traded about, secretly,
in one black market after another.

VOTERS SHOW CONTEMPT
The voting record proves that
the American people pay little
attention to whispering cam
paigns. They have paid little at
tention TO all the malignant
rumors of enemy origin which
have flooded this country during
this war-and / am sure they
will treat the present whisper
ing with the same contempt.
AS we approach election day,
more wicked charges may be made
with the hope that some one or
somebody will gain momentary
advantage.
Historical, last-mlnute accusa-
tons or sensational revelations
are trumped up in an. attempt TO
panic the people on election day.
NOT EASILY PANICKED
But the American people are not
panicked easily. Pearl Harbor
proved that.
This election will not be decided
on a basis of malignant murmur-
ings-or shouts. 1t will be settled
on the basis of the record.
We all know the record of our
achievements in this war
And we all know the record of the
tremendous production achieve
ments of our American farmers,
our American businessmen and
our American labor.
And we all know the record of
our teamwork with our Allies.
Immediately after Pearl Harbor
we formed. with the other United
Nations, the greatest military
coalition in world history.
STRONG ORGANIZATION
And we have steadily gone on
from that 10 establish the basis
for strong and durable organi-
zation for world peace.
The America which built the
greatest war machine in all his
tory, and which kept il supplied,
is an America which can look TO
the future with confidence and
faith.
l propose the continuance of the
teamwork that we have demon
strated in this war.
BY carrying out the plans we
have made we can avoid post
war depreSsion-we can provide
employment for our veterans and
and our war workers we can
achieve an orderly reconverSion.
Above all, we can avoid another
false boom like that which burst in
1929, and a dismal collapse like
that of 1880 TO 1888.

PRAISE FOR WOMEN

First and / think rightly first,
are those women who have gone
into the WACs and the WAVES
and the marines and the coast
guard, the nursing services of the
army and navy, the Red Cross
serving in all kinds Of places. in
and out Of the United States all
Vt them performing functions
which definitely relieve men for
combat work.
Then there are the millions of
women who have gone into war
industries. They are greatly re-
sponslble for the fact that the
munitions and supplies 10 our
men at the front have gone
through 70 them on time.
And finally. the women who
uncomplsiningly have done the

1t is still job requiring the all
out production efforts of all our
people here at home.
Delays in the performance of
our job at home mean prolonging
the war. They will mean an in
crease in the total price we must
pay in the lives of our men.
All Of our able commanders in
the field know this. And so do our
soldiers and sailors. And we at
home must never forget it,
All Americans at home are con-
cerned in this-the fulfillment Of
an obligation TO our fighting men.
The women of America are
most profoundly concerned.
Today women are playing a far
more direct, more personal part
IN the war than ever before.

GREATER THAN 1918 AEF

We already have sent to Europe
just one Of our many fronts
a force greater than the entire
American EXpeditionary Force of
1918. American troops now are
fighting along a battle line of 300
miles in France and about 100
miles in Italy.
Within 10 weeks after the first
landings in France last June. the
Allies had landed on the Nor
mandy beaches nearly two million
men. more than two million tons
of supplies and nearly half mil
lion vehicles.
Think of all that vast mass Of
material for one operation-think
of the war factories and ships and
planes and railroads and labor re-
quired TO produce and deliver the
right supplies to the right place at
the right time.
Then think of the tasks that lie
ahead of us-all the long, tough
miles to Berlin - all the major
landings yet 10 be made in the
Pacific and you will have a con-
ception of the magnitude of the
job that remains TO be done.

The part she couldn't take was that certain
darn-fool young man had got to worrying so
about forlorn widows and fatherless children
that he wouldn't marry and beget children

war.

ANOTHER
STORY

10 Ann crossed to the telephone and
called a number When she got it, -
Lieutenant Paul Sands please" She made
it sound brisk. Great-Teat-granny Eliza
Sands and three of her eleven children had
been scalped. Great-granny Mignon Sands
had died in a covered wagon, going west.
In her own heart 10 Ann didn't know whether
she'd be able to face life as gamely as these
other Sands wives but she wasn't going to
let Lieutenant Paul Sands know that.
She was already rehearsing nice little
speech about the necessity of taking life as
you found it, when voice said Sorry
Lieutenant Sands is not available just now
Care to leave message?"
Tell him please, Miss 10 Ann Kirby
called I'm at Harden House"
"Yes, ma'am. Bye"
10 Ann hung up. That was Disappointing
1t wouldn't be quite the same surprise now.
To pass the time while waiting for his call,
she unpacked her bags. She slowed silken
pink and salmon things in the dresser. AT
least that didn't have any debris in it. She
was half through when the telephone rang.
Her heart smacked her ribs hard. She flew
to the telephone - then stopped, to let her
heart quit pounding, so there wouldn't be
any fiutter in her voice. You just came to
town, 10 Ann, to do some shopping. remem-
her. Throw yourself at him - but subtly.
She picked up the receiver "Hello!" came
a bubblng feminine voice. Guess who?'
Her heart stopped snacking her ribs. Beg
pardon?" she said WHAT?
The bubbling feminine voice said, I'm
sorry Wrong number"
APPARENTLY" said 10 Ann, and hung up.
She went back to unpacking. After min
ute the telephone rang again. This, she
thought, would be it. Her heart thumped
her ribs, she got the queer feeling at the base
of her throat, and was sure she was gong to
stammer. She lifted the receiver. Hello"
she called, cheer1y.
There was dead silence at the other end OF
the line. Then the same voice. without
bubble, asked. "Is this Room 9O4?"
"Yes, it is"
Il see." Icicles dripped from the voice.
"You see what?" asked 10 Ann tartly.
The sharp, angry click of receiver slammed
on its hook came from the phone
10 Ann shrugged and went back to her un-
packing. She stretched it out as long as she
could. She showed the empty bags under
the bed and looked at the telephone. She
looked at it until suggestions from her stom-
ach reminded her that she hadn't been able
to get into the diner on the train at lunch

 Two years ago in the Territorial election on September 8, only 25C had balloted at o'clock, with l5a votes having been cast in precinct one, 53 in precinct two, and 39 in precinct three.
 According to the judges at the different precincts, the voters are slow in marking their ballots, in- dicating two things, one that there is much splitting" going on, and second, that voters are having a difficult time picking eight can didates of the sixteen on the ballot for the House of Representatives
 The polls are open until o'clock tonight and a good vote is ex- pected between o'clock and the closing hour.
 Attorney General Henry Roder called attention to the fact that there is no registration required fol this election, the sole requisite being that voters must be in the Terri tory one year and in the precinc, in which they vote 30 days.
