NEW YORK Nov 4-ThOmas E. Dewey Is rum ming for reelection governor of this state.
 But his race against Democratic Senator James Mead has gathered far more significance as the cam paign hears its end.
 To many people outside this state including high placed party leaders, well as many in this state next Tuesdays election will be iaterpreted in terms of the contest for the iS4s Republican Presidential nomination.
 His reelection is accepted as a foregone conclu- sion Democrats concede 1t privately. That or itself by only comfortable majority, would put him in the forefront of contenders for the ls4s nomination But much more than that seems in the making. They are talking of a triumph that may roll into majority of 5OOOO0 to a million-which would be quite feat for a Republican here
 Any such victory in this key state. with its big convention and electoral vote will speak, loudly on behalf of the s young governor at the i948 conven- tion despite the precedent irat the Republican Party Presidency.
 He will be in the best possible position to try to break that national party tradition given q landslide He broke long standing state tradition by winning a re-nomination as gubernatorial candidate after being defeated. and went right on to victory in his second attempt.
 He seems to have lucky star. After his defeat by President Roosevelt in 1924, he generally was went back quietly to his governors job or more ago his chances for reelection governor were con- sidered too bright. The Democrats still seemed to be riding high,
 But here he is again. There's something of the Horatio Alger touch about him. And, like the Horatio Alger hero, he got fortunate break. That was the reaction that began to set in against the Truman Administration, and now is at high tide, here as everywhere else Governor Dewey benefits from that along with other Republican,

WASHINGTON Nov. 4-(NEAD-Em Hurja, who gained quite reputation as political seer back in the days when Jim Farley was running things, has stuck out his neck again. This time it's with list of 26 congressional seats 1t will be easiest for the Republicans to win in the coming election.
 Twenty-six is, of course, the magic number which the COP. must win to get control ofNthe House Any gains above 26 are just political gravy
 In the 1924 elections there were O6 seats which were won by only percent margin. F1fty=two of them were won by Republicans and A by Democrats. shift of only five votes out of every hundred, 50 out of every 1000 500 out of every 10000 would have thrown the election the other way
 The easiest picking for the Republicans should, therefore be in the 44 districts where they lost by only percent margin. It's principally out of these A districts that Emil has picked his easiest 26 seats to knock off, but he doesn't confine his victims to this list exclusively.
 There are not a few surprises in his lineup. Among the Democratic stalwarts whom Hurta says are riding for a fall he includes Mrs. Chase Going WOoohouse of Connecticut, Ms. Emily Taft Douglas of Chicago Louis Ludlow of Indianapolis, Frank E. Hook of Ironwood, Mich, Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee Clarence Cannon of Mis- sour, Hugh De Lacy and Charles Savage of Wash ington state
 Then, in a supplementary list of eight other Dem ocrats who have only slightly less bad prospects of defeat, Hurja picks Mrs. Helen Gahagan Douglas of Los Angeles. Andrew J. May of Prestonsburg, Ky. Andrew J. Biemiller of Milwaukee, Matthew M. Nicely of Fairmont, W. Va.
 With the possible exceptions of Louis Ludlow, Clarence Cannon and Andy May, all the above men, toned on the death list have been active in labor affairs leaders in advocacy of the Roosevelt Truman program for liberal legislation. That's indicative of the swing Cannon has been in Congress for Il terms, Ludlow for nine and Chairman May of the House Military Affairs Committee for eight
 The Republicans whom Hurja picks to defeat Ludlow Cannon, and other incumbents are for the most part politically unknown. though eight have served in Congress before. They William J. Miller of Connecticut, Fred E. Busbey of Chicago Calvin D. Johnson of Belevlle III, William G. Stratton of Morris, III, John Henderson H. Carson of Canton. O, and Hugh D. Scott, Jr. of Philadelphia.
 Miller s picked to defeat five-termer Herman

Remember in November!

While it may sound like garbed metaphor there is truth in the statement that memory is something times forget Such is apt be the case in particular in matters whose sharper realities evident but short time The Republican Party leaders ask therefore that Remember in November' and Is to be hoped that we shall.
 It well to remember that in 1882 this nation was in state of panic following the economic debace that the heritage bequeathed by the preceding Republican administration Remember too, that it the Democratic administration that rghted the props and gave the portunity to start again in spirit of rghtfu dignity
 It is we'll to remember also that unemployment during the dE oe % E5 ns ns hing until in 1887 we once again saw new dawn of decent living.
 It should be remembered in November that the heritage too of the devourng of poorly soil and for estry conservation conquered and the devastating sprawl of overowng unharnessed rivers checked by the program of a Democratic administration.
 It is very important for millions of average aborers to remember that they found the of dignity promised did farmers for their fidelity to o in the humanitarian social reforms of the Democratic administration.
 It well to remember that the health of the people on national scale has become of intimate to their government under this administration.
 It is of utmost importance that remember that the Democratic administration helped knit this nation together in spirit of patriotic determination during the critical war years
 minstraton has made sincere effort through legislation despite Republican opposition house its people, to feed them properly to maintain fair level of economic values inspire productive reconverson period that employs 59 million people at standard of wages never before en- joyed
 It well to remember that this Democratic admnistra- tions first is civilized control by civilians of the genie of atomic energy and has succeeded in this despite the efforts of 166 Republican Congressmen to oppose this popular plan
 It should be remembered also that the Democratic ad mnstration has sought for the people of America hon. orabe position the complex goba affairs of this post 
 Most important should be remembered that chronicled and recorded national annals the voting records of the Republican leaders in direct opposition to the majority of these gans
 Perhaps however we can thank the Republican Party leaders for reminding to remember!

HOrafO Alger Dewey by Thomas Stokes

But at the same tme he was ready for the breaks like the Ager hero who kept plugging away at his job He has behind him his excellent record as governor. He is an able administrator and shrewd politically He kept his job His foresight suddenly revealed to the country when national rent con trol went out for a time with temporary suspension of OPA This state was prepared with it's own rent control law which he had put through the legislature months before the only state statute in the nation when the emergency came
 While Republicans and Democrats fiddied around in Washington over federal fair employment prac- tices act, without action, Governor Dewey put one on the books here This law co-sponsored in the Leg slature by Irving M Ives. Republican candidate for the Senate against Herbert Lehman is important in this state and city with its large racial and religious minorities whom is designed to protect against dis elimination jobs.
 It was natural, then, when Governor Dewey came into this city this weekend to wind up his cam paign that he should empnasize this antidiscrimina- ton measure and the state rent control law And If aspirations into his final speeches here beyond those reminders you could find them in his repeated com- parison of his state administration in Albany with "the confusion and incompetence of the present ad- ministration in Washington.
 He has been running largely against President Truman in his campaign for reelection as governor which is not unusual this year. It is being done all over the country. But his comparison of his adnip> istration with that of President Truman has more bearing on national politics.
 What position Governor Dewey takes between now and ls4S among the conflicting elements within his come. along with Harold Stass0n and Gov Earl War ren of California, potent influence on behalf Of the younger and more progressive element of the party against the Taft-Bricker old Guard group.
 He should be in fine strategic position te exert much influence on his paEtys course.

 Answer-I should say it means they think they have you hooked. "Scrofulous" was term applied to various diseases long. long. long ago when they didn't know just what ailed the patient. Why not consult a physician who practises under his own name.

Your Health
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.

It may not be entirely fair. but I must quote here from an article by William Brady, MD: For it is peevishness grumpiness, irritability and sometimes downright churlish- ness, not gray hair nor faltering step, that advertises the individuals old age"
 This truth was borne in on me long ago. By a curious coincidence my playroom was what had been the billiard room on the third floor overlooking a park and, excuse it., please, the bowling greens. One lovely summer day I was going through the motions up there and gazing of toward the bowling greens when my reverie was interrupted by yells below. One of the neighbor- hood kids was proposing the gang follow the leader jumpin1 through the new hedge and marking up the new lawn was trying to grow, the motive being that maybe we can get old Doc. Brady to chase uS." aged terribly in the course of the next hour in fact I became too decrepit to chase 'em.
 But after the first shock had passed I began to study the whole subject of old age more seriously than ever before. had to confess to myself that I wasn't or Doc Brady to the kids of the neighbor- hood with out reason-and perhaps one good reason was the very fact that I just chased them when they trespassed, yes, and growled at or threatened them, forgetting entirely how much more provocative and mischievous my won pranks had been on the lawns and gardens of the residents along Main Street when l was a boy. Clearly I saw that l had taken the wrong attitude-un- less boys have changed unbelievably I might have entered into some of the games with the kids and made myself agreeable to them - that would have protected my precious lawn and hedges from damages in excess of reasonable wear and tear.
 However, the Agassiz Circle gang unwittingly gave me an extenison of life, I believe. Anyway 1t was after that jolt to my complaceance that I discovered the value of cer- tain remedies or measures against premature aging. These are briefly mentioned in the pamphlet young Folks and old Folks" and described in detail in the booklet "The Seven Keys to Vite." For the pamphlet send stamped self addressed en- velope, and if you want the book let inclose twenty-five cepts also. Ask for what you want in writing "a clipping will not suffice.
 Just to indicate the sort of pro- phylactics I prescribe for this pur- pose I'll mention two of them-so if you think my advice is silly you can save yourself the bother Of of studing it further: Morning sorn- ersaults mad Iodin Ration.
 Thanks again to the Agazzlz Circle gang of the thirties I'm feel ing just fine and dandy now-in- deed I say seriously and without extravagance that so far as feelings go I'm not quite so old as l was in '36. whether or Doc Brady's treat ment deserves credit for this of course I can't say. All I can'say is that it can't do any harm in any case.
