COMMITMENT IIELD
Commitment services for Richard
Patrick, infant son of Mr. and Mrs.
P. W. Mahoney, were held at Ma
sonic cemetery at 11 o'clock Friday
morning.
continent rrom the national city to
the Pacific northwest hundreds of
intzrviews were obtained from gaso
line station operators, truck drivers,
patrons cf auto camps, bar-b-que
stands, bargers, waiters, farmers and
cattlemen. These are "the people,"
the everyday American citizen who
thinks and votes and holds quite
definite opinions. Not one banker
nor utility man was questioned, be
cause these are assumed to be for
the Willkie-McNary ticket anyway.
Result of this survey is interesting.
In 1932 and 1936 a similar survey
was taken of the same routes. In
those years the sentiment for the
Roosevelt-Garner ticket was over
whelming and the new deal was un
beatable. In the first campaign Hoo
ver had few friends; in the second
campaign Landon was found weak
er than Hoover. Traversing the iden
tical highways and meeting many
of the same people, the switch from
Mr. Roosevelt is apparent. Mr.
Roosevelt and his running mate,
Henry A. Wallace, may win in No
vember but if so it will be a photo
finish; there will be no landslide.
What ih evident is that the Willkie-McNary
ticket has captured the
imagination of thousands of people
who heretofore have been loyal to
and supporters of Mr. Roosevelt. The
swing away from the present admin
istration is today as marked as in
the two previous campaigns from
the democratic ticket, which is evi
dence of the close result of the com
ing election.
Even admiration for the record
and achievements of McNary might
not save the republican ticket in the
west normally, but voters who would
ordinarily support Mr. Roosevelt and
who still admire hi mfor what he
has done are apprehensive of a third
term and its possibilities. More than
anything else the third term is caus
ing conservative democrats to pin
on Willkie-McNary buttons.
Of interest to the entire Pacific
northwest is the report of the 27th
annual National Foreign Trade con
vention, held last week in San
Francisco. War has eliminated prac
tically all United States markets in
Europe and the report on prospects
for export trade was not at all op
timistic. Because of Hitler's suc
cesses the figures on exports except
war materials are away down. The
convention went on record as fav
oring efforts to maintain amicable
trade relations with Japan, always
one of America's best customers.

Most difficult handicap Mr. Roose
velt has in the present campaign is
the fact that he is running for a
third term he only man in the his
tory of the United States who has
sought to remain in office as chief
executive for 12 consecutive years.
His sucess or defeat hinges on this
one issue more than any other.
