THE CENSUS may prove
that there are more than a mil

wives. many are debutantes, and
the rest are professional women,
business girls, war workers.
glamour girls, WACs or WAVES
or whatever they have chosen
to be.
In fact, the only place where
you will find an old maid today
is on the stage or the radio,
where several prof ssional spin
sters are getting rich by fea-
turing their lovelorn state.
Joan Davis. Patsy Kelly. Char
lotte Greenwood and several
others including Vera Vague
(all OF whom are probably mar

married) are makingbig hits on
the air joshing themselves in
the roles of maidens-all-forlorn.
But 1T is only on the screen

WE NEED EXPERIENCE NOW

The issue OF the present campaign IS
simply whether experience or enthusiast
tic amateurism is most likely to be useful
in the handling Of American affairs from
now on until peace is established. Put it
another way, the question is whether it
is more important to hold to a tradition in
the determination Of who is to be Amer
ica's chief executive, or to continue in the
post the man who has demonstrated his
capacity to handle the knotty problems of
the proXimate future.
Sincerity may be attributed to some of
those who indicate horror at the prospect
of Franklin d. Roosevelt being chosen for
another term, though the two-term habit
was not unanimously settled on when the
Republic was young and was carefully
left out of the Constitution. Jefferson
thought two terms should limit one mans
tenancy of the White House. Washing
ton, on the other hand, wrote Lafayette
that he could see no reason that the cOun-
try should be denied the services in any
great emergency of a man who could rem
der service to the country. incidentally,
it was not the Democratic party which
first attempted to break the two-term
rule. President Grant went out after a
third term and did not get it-not because
of the SCATTERING Of precedent, but simply
because Grants administration was SO
redolent of graft and other scandal that
his party knew he could not be reelected.
Had he been a good President, with hon
est subordinates, it is far from improb-
able that General Grant and not Franklin
D. Roosevelt would have been the coun-

welt. The one word of Roosevelt that
hit harder than any Other is when he
said an income of $25, 900 a year above
taxes is enough for any family. The
Big Boys cannot forgive that. To work
ers like Lewis, Mr.. Dooley's famous par
ody might apply:
Workers of the World unite. Ye have
nothing to lose but your brains, and ye
have none Of you vote against the
President who has done more for farmer
and worker than any other in the
White House,.
Governor Dewey's first campaign
speech can all go in one sentence: Amer
lea can produce enough wealth fol
everybody's comfort.
We have known that governor since
1929. In that year our production
reached its peak, 80 billion dollars. The
big profits had stripped the consumer
Of buying power. In that year we en-
tered a period of hunger, squalor, fu-
Utility. which would endure to this day
but for the New Deal. The American
problem is not how to produce wealth
but how to distribute it so that every
family gets enough to insure u just
standard of living. Will the governor
give us his answer to that?
The salvation of two million young
American boys was the G. c. G. This
C. c. c. boys are the ones now carrying
our bayonets through the Siegfried line
The governor gIbly answers a newsman'
"There will be no C. C. c. if I an

sheep men. CThe little ones, with gov
eminent loans at low interest, and other
help, are voting Democratic) Good
brood ewes, under Hoover, the lead-off
man for Dewey at the Chicago conven-
ton, brought so cents a head. Some big
sheep men are vociferous for Dewey.
"Muttonhead" is an old English phrase
for a fellow who is not quite "all there"
A big stockman in the Big Hole Basin
is loud for Dewey and Ford. He has
1000 head of cattle. The New Deal
has made them worth $4OO, 100000. They
were worth $1,000 the head under
Hoover. Some big banker writes his
newspaper propaganda for him.
This banker using the penname of the
stockman to attack the New Deal, is as
imprudent as the stockman, whose name
he hides under. Every bank in Michi-
gan, a hotbed Of anti-New Dealers, closed
its doors in the last month of the Hoover
nightmare. There has not been a bank
failure in 10 years now under New Deal
RECOMMENDATION. This banker must be an
old mine promoter. He has not yet
learned that a small success is better
than a big failure.
Hillman occupies in the National Press
picture that which Jerry O'Connell does
locally, and for the same reason. He
asks contributions of a dollar from I'M
ion members to present the views of
workers and farmers to voters. The
DuPonts, Morgans, Rockefellers, Rubber
companies, have been raising slush
funds of Is to 20 million in presidential
campaigns, to present their views to the
electorate. Much depends in the cor
poration owned press "on whose OK is
gored."
In Montana, the absentee landlords
pay a deficit of $15O,OOO the year for
daily newspapers to present the owners
views to the electorate. This used to
anger me, but lately I think that it is a
good thing to do. The paid press make
few converts. A lot of good printers, re-
porters, editors, all jolly fellows, with
nice families make a living on money
spent here, which otherwise would go
and stay out of Montana. Such nova
days as believe in the press are too young
to vote.
There is a fairly accurate gauge on
the power Cinfluence) of the press. In
1892, sixty per cent of the press Of the
nation was for Hoover, and against
Roosevelt. In 1886, eighty per cent Of
the press backed Landon. I looked up
the Republican candidates name in the
World Almanac. 1t was Landon) In
1886, ninety per cent Of the press backed
Willkie. A fair estimate is that 95 per
cent of the press are now backing
Dewey. The betting in New York is
2 to 1 against Dewey. Except, perhaps
in the case Of the Great Falls Tribune
in Montana, the florid support by the
daily press Of a candidate drives voter!

try's first three-time President.
Nobody contends that Governor Dewey
is the Presidents peer in familiarity with
the processes of international relations, or
that Dewey has had the practice in han
ding war problems that Roosevelt has
gained during his years Of dealing with
those problems. The whole controversy
centers around the relative peril of con-
tinuing one in an office beyond the GUS
tomary period and putting in his place an
inexperienced man younger than any who
have been elected to the high office. The
answer to that question would not seem to
be difficult, but passing that phase by,
and admitting that there is at least a ten
tative basis for argument, what is the
logic Of going so far afield in the course
of campaign controversy.
What, for example, is the pertinence of
the circumstance that the President
paused on his way through Chicago to
chat with the National Democratic Chair
man-how does that bear on the question
of the comparative fitness of the two can
didates for the Presidency?
The President accepted the nomination
while he was at a naval base on the Pa
cific coast. He happened to be there on
his way to his conference at Pearl HarbOr
with commanders Of our Pacific forces at
the time the convention at Chicago named
him as the 1914 candidate. Just how does
this circumstance indicate either Mr..
Dewey's superior qualifications for the
Job to which he aspires or Mr.. RooseYelt's
unfitness? Yet the row the Republican
high command kicked up over the perfect
" normal incidents was calculated to give
the impression that the President was
guilty of every crime from treason to run
ming through a red light.
1t was sought to convey that our whole
Navy was detached from its legitimate
functions to escort the President IN his
inspection and conference tour. Actually,
our Navy is not static; it is perpetually
moving, and its movements cOinciding
with the COMMANDMENT Chiefs desire to
consult with General Macarthur and Adj
miral Nimitz and their colleagues in the
war against Japan hardly constitutes an
ndictable offense.
Considering the quality Of the output of
propaganda from the Republican high
command, it ceases to be a matter of Won
derment that the first three governors it
put on the air to argue for Mr.. Dewey
went on strike and compelled the G. 0. p.
speech fomenters to kill the addresses
they had prepared for the three governors
and wrote their own.
