There are a great many wiseacres now, who can explain to their o,wn satisfaction why there was such a landslide last Tuesday. This paper along with others has its pet explanation. It is concerned with the character of the Republican campaign. OUR contention is that an entirely different campaign would have given London and Knox far greater support. The keynote of this campaign would have been neither hate, nor fear of Roosevelt. In fact it would have been granted that, all in all, the president had done a good job. He would have been given credit for having saved the country from economic collapse, in its time of peril, and given the country, many reforms that were needed, and the purposes of which were essentially right. But it would also have been maintained that with ' these accomplishments the time had come to "stop, look and listen" to consolidate the advance positions gained, and give the coun try a genuine breathing spell, from further experimentation and too hasty advancement. We admit such a campaign would never have defeated Roose velt, but it is clear that no campaign would. A Republican vic tory was simply not in the cards this year. With the exception of Jim Farley, who in all likelihood, didn't really believe what he said everyone was wrong in guessing the result this year. It has been revealed that Presi dent Roosevelt himself, predicted he would win by 360 electoral votes ; while his expert election scout Mr. Hurja only gave him ten more . . they were over 150 electoral votes out of the way. IITHAT made the popular sweep for the president so over- whelming we believe was essentially the American sense of fair play. When the opposition not only refused to grant anything of benefit had been accomplished during his adminis tration, but claimed that if he were re-elected, the banks and insurance companies would not be safe, and the American form of government would be overturned, a resentment was aroused among the people as a whole, regardless of party, which reached a climax about election day. It was this resentment, that accounted for the extraordinary increase in registration throughout the country, particularly on the Democratic side. Former President Hoover hostility a protest vote against the administration. Poor Mr. Hoover, was not only wrong as usual, but oxactly 100 wrong. Not only would a more rational and just attitude toward President Roosevelt have given votes, and even in defeat a feeling of greater self-respect, but would have given what the country needs but now has lost, a well organized and effective opposition, in the upper and lower houses of congress. THIS overwhelming landslide a good thing. Not only hns the gress been greatly reduced, but its morale has boon destroyed, and it will be a long time before a feeling of solf-confidenee, and a spirit of partisan enterprise, can be restored. No matter which pnrty is in power, the country needs a strong party of opposition, as a balance wheel to progress, and an element constantly devoted measures and issues. For the time being this will the reactionary leadership' of itself to blame. Why Not Be Sensible? "OMng full consideration to all of the Information which Is available to me at this time, from polla and from personal reports which have oome to me from representatives of the national committee In the field, and from state leaders, I unhesitatingly predict the election of Governor Alfred M. Landon of Kansas and Colonel Prank Knox of Illinois at the general election Tuesday. "I have from time to time predicted that Landon would carry every state east of the Mississippi river and north of the line of the Ohio river and the state of West Virginia aa well. "In addition to these states, he will carry a sufficient num ber of states west of the Mississippi to total 70 (electoral) votes. My absolute minimum la 330 votes for the Repuollcsn national ticket end snythlng In excess of that would In no way be surprising." Chairman John D. M. Hamilton, New York Tri bune. Nov. a, 1839. So speaketh the G. 0. P. national chairman on the eve of the election that gave his candidate two states, with eight electoral votes. W are not blaming Hamilton. They all do it, jnst as all prize fight managers do it. Had Jim Farley been handling Governor Landon 's campaign he would no doubt have said about the same thing. It is an old army custom in pugilism and politics. But we wonder if the United States hasn't matured to a point where such childish and meaningless ballyhoo, hereafter can be discarded. 1HY not try an experiment in 1010. Eliminate all polls and straw ballots, all partisan predictions of the result, con duct a sane, energetic and sensible campaign dovotcd only to the salient issues on both sides and leave the result to" the voters, and only the voters on election day. . Just Tor one election of course. If after such a trial there should be a great popular demand for straw ballots hither and yon, and bombastic proclamations of landslides by all the cam paign managers, no harm would be done. We could go baek to the war dance, three ring circus type of foolishness and go on from there. But we don't believe there would be. Comment of the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS, FRANKLIN D.

I never quite un derstood what that means until I re visited the old swimming hole In Mc Kechmle'ft woods after thirty years. It was pretty painful. I felt glad, at anv rate, that I I i 1 nad never 101(1 a 'SSSf j swimming hole we boys achieved there. It la as tonishing how fact contracts and fiction ex pands with the years, it Is still more amazing how you come to believe your own yarns in time. Z still think I am crazy about milk fresh from the cow, for two reasons. First, I recall fondly going across the street for our milk when I was a kid and the delight of a dlpperful which the kindly old German woman always offered a kid when he came for the milk. Second, l recall as fondly a drive we used to take with our own kids a few miles south of town, out In the hills, to a hillside farm on a back road, where, If we timed our ar rival accurately, we could watch the farmer send his collie down the val ley, over the bridge and up In the woods to drive In the cows and then stand by while he milked, and drink as many dlpperfus as the good man considered safe for one stomach at one time. I'd be willing to travel by almost ny means except the air for a week for the privilege of taking that ten-mile drive again. In the late sum- ; mer or early autumn, after a rain. I Wowl The very thought of it makes my stomach water. A good goat dairyman, learning of my fondness for milk fresh from the cow, and of my endorsement of goat's i milk as a safe and wholesome raw j milk for Infants or Invalids, drove nomo forty miles as fast as possible with a quart of goat's milk to a pub lishing office where the good man as sumed I worked. I learned some weeks afterward that the boys in the office pronounced the milk excellent I was miles awny. ference to the national debt. He has done this on the plea of necessity to end the depression, and the people of the United States have accepted this pica of necessity, saying to him, In effect: "We thlnlwyou have been right In what you have done. and we want you to go on with your program. We believe In you,' HUT now the depression Is ended. iU Prosperity Is here again. President Roosevelt has said so re peatedly, and every high official of his government has echoed the state ment. The business figures confirm it. Industry is operating at & high level, and agriculture (except in the drought-stricken area) Is prosperous. Happy daya are here again. We have that from the highest official authority. THIS, then, must follow: If the depression la ended and prosperity la here again, the necessity to spend Immensely more than the government's Income each year In order to "prime the pump," no longer exists. The government can reduce Its expenditures sharply, balance Its budget and leave to private Industry the task of carrying prosperity for ward. Tli at has been offered time snd again aa the New Deal program. Indeed, If this program la not fol lowed, serious troubles, effecting EVERYBODY must ensue, for govern ment can not go Indefinitely spend ing more than they receive without getting Into trouble any more than can private Individuals. Printing press inflation, with all its terrible evils, Is the Inevitable result of a national budget that remains continuously unbalanced. IT WILL be easy to go on spending. It will be HARD to stop. On the side of continued spending will bo every member of congress who wants something for his district but of the federal purse, and every ex panded activity of government that depends for Its existence upon con tinued appropriations. AGAINST continued spending will be only the knowledge that at SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE we must pay the penalty. The future is a long way off, and right now we aren't worrying about It, PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT U freed from the necessity to campaign for re-election. He has more power than any president ever povewd bp lore perhaps more power than any single Individual ever VKVueased be fore. Prom now on, he can do exactl as he choose, without answering tc anyone. He can go on spending mrrf than the government receiisw. or he can balance the burfp-t. It will be Interesting to see what he does. Stonk & Cbickcn Dinners Served All Day Sunday CAP. HAOEHM.WS ORCll.

Address OF MILK I CAN DRINK Finally, a man who markets a fine high-grade raw milk milked some Into a vacuum bottle and rushed it over the mountain to my playroom one morning, still warmish and darn good milk, yet . . . Some day before I die I'm going to get another dlpperful of milk au na turel. Maybe I keep putting off the day because of the way the old swim ming hole betrayed me. Meanwhile, my notion of a royal treat Is plenty of plain fresh mlllk, oh say a quart, with something to nibble along with It. Not only because I like milk, but because I consider it the most nearly perfect health food, QUESTIONS ANUANSNEHS Ah, There, Le Blmlve . I notice you use the term "bimbo" for baby girl or boy.
