Presidential election returns compiled by the Associated Press up to Friday night, stlU Incomplete, with 8407 districts unreported, showed Roosevelt, 39,300,809; Landon. 19,188,910 (Roosevelt's plur ality 10.a31.987); Lemke. Union party, etSAH; Thomas, Socialist, 111,153; Browder, Communist 87,092; Colvln, Prohibition, 15.580; Aiken, Social -Laborlte, 6444. Total vote, 43,404,777. Complete returns, available only after canvass of the vote on In various states, will Increase the totsl to probably more than 48,000,000. Press dispatch. Those unduly apprehensive citizens who still believe there is a red menace in this country, and every now and then look under the bed to see if there lurking there, should find a cure for their fears in the above tabulation. Browder was the Communist a vigorous and extensive campaign. As far as publicity is con cerned he was greatly aided certain sections of the country, rights of free speech. Yet in spite of all this out polled 57,052 votes, secured only en Norman Thomas, the Socialist percent of the vote given, one candidates in our political history, Congressman Lemke. Moreover this vote confirms oountry today there are only registered Communists. The evidence is overwhelming, that in this country today, the Communists are for themselves, but iio one else is. The Digest Explains N the current Literary Digest the editors devote about 2000 words to a detailed explanation, of their 1936 straw poll, which predicted an easy victory for Governor Landon, and defeat for President Roosevelt For every criticism directed during the campaign, the Digest has ita answer. The most frequent criticism that the Digest didn't conduct a scientific survey, failed to secure the proper portion from each voting class, is answered by the statement that in some cities every other registered voter was canvassed, and in at least one, the entire voting list was utilized. As this was only true in the it doesn't appeal to us, aa a very convincing explanation, in fact we would call it no explanation at all. WITHOUT -going into all the details of the lengthy alibi, this nnnar'a lndrmftnt in tbn Digest makes out a verv poor case, and would have gained more friends, and a higher respect for its good sportsmanship, if it had accepted the result as demonstrating conclusively, that its methods of conducting; a national poll are out of date, every way and the same as in actual test to be worthless. The Digest, however, refuses a definite, clear-cut answer to the query as to whether or not it will conduct presidential polls in the future. In a rathor round about way it leaves the impression that it will, but refuses to commit itself. After admitting it took an awful beating the statement con cludes aa follows: So whatt 80 we were wrong;, although we did everything we knew to assure ourselves of being right. We conducted our poll as wo had always done, reported what we found, and have no alibis. We drew no special satisfaction from our figures, and we drew no conclusions from them. The result waa disappointing only In the sense that It threw our figures out the window, and left us without even the satisfac tion of knowing why. FUTURE Aa for the Immediate future. The Digest feels tli at in truth "the nation has spoken." The Digest halls a . magnificent prealdent against whom It never uttered ono word of partlaau crlUc'im. 1 Tho Digest can not support him, In the sense that newspapers support a prealdent, editorially, because the Digest does not editorialise But It can obtain genuine satisfaction from the knowledge that Its several editors, aa American citizens, and tte millions of readers, as American cltlrens, will stand behind the First Citizen. a pea king of the president, there la a spot of comfort for us In tho knowledge that he hlmaeU was pretty badly off on his electoral total, and that be "laughed It off" in 'his genial way. His last gueas waa 860 vote to Mr. Landon "a 17). (On June ft he had estimated his margin at 81A to 316.) As for the more dlatant future, tha questions have been asked: Will the Digest conduct another pollf Will it Changs Its methods? The answer to the first question we rThrsse In others: Should the Democratic party have quit In 1034, when It reached a modern low-ebb In power and confidence. Instead of going on to the greatest triumph In Its history? Should the Republican . party have quit In 1013, when It carried only two states? Should ths University of Minnesota, with the greatest record In modern football, give up the aport because It finally lost one game, after a string of twenty-one victories? The answer to ths second question is: We'll cross that bridge when we come to It. That tribute to President Roosevelt is in the right spirit, but tho statement as a whole we regard as neither dignified, con vincing nor entirely forthright. The Digest, should as we see it, have admitted its poll waa a complete flop, conceded that whatever the right method may be its method was WRONG, and while not pledging itself to conduct a similar poll in the future, frankly stated that if this should be done, a totally different method of tabulation would be adopted. In that way the Digest would have "come clean". As it is the alibi it presents is specious and diugy. Communications Muli?

Today a baby who en Joye good health and receives prop er nourishment doublee his birth weight in three months, trebles It at eight months and nearly or quite quadruples It at the age of one year. As babies, you and I did not have our place In the aun. Parents, nurses and doctors did not know how valu able exposure to sunlight was: they rather regarded it as harmful or dangerous and carefully protected us against strong sunlight. In the early months of Infancy we received prac tically no vitamin D (sunshine vita min, produced by ultraviolet rays), what little we did receive tn milk be ing entirely Inadequate to prevent all manifestations of rickets. Nearly all adults, when - critically examined, show defects produced by rickets In Infancy or early childhood. A good many Individuals have vague Impairments of health due to latent poisoning with arsenic or lead or carbon monoxide, from Industrial or domestlo sources, although they have no specific symptoms which arouse suspicion of such poisoning. When the body does not assimi late enough calcium, bones, teeth and nervous tissues, as well as the blood, are weaker, more susceptible to disease. Good authorities believe that the everyday diet of Americans, especially city dwellers, la often de ficient In calcium (lime) and that working. To be sure we have have not yet produced a Paderewskl, but the schools do not cease teaching arithmetic merely because no mathe matical genius has arisen among us in many moons. Supposedly we live In a democratic country. Why then may not our rural schools, the most democratic of all Institutions, be Justified In teaching something aa useful and uplifting as music, even though It might cause tho elimination of some more com monly accepted "busy work?" Wo are fortunate In having the Southern Oregon State Normal school easily accessible at Ashland. Why not confer with Dr. Redford and the In- atructors In music there? I believe that they have demonstrated their Interest 'and readiness to help with practical suggestions. MRS. BEET HARR. Jacksonville, Ore. Nov. 13, 193fl.

This rather Interesting fact is brought out by 'a detailed study of residential rents In Portland that has Just been completed. All classes of residential property were covered. In order to get an accurate crosa sec tion . Residential rents In Portland are now only 13 per cent under the 1929 level. THE reason for this steady Increase In -Portland rents, the survey In dicates, is that demand for housing units la now far In excess of the supply. Chester A. Moores. vice-president i of Commonwealth, Inc., estimates that 99 per cent of the livable houses of average size In Portland are occu pied, which compares wtth a normal occupancy of 90 per cent. Apartments, Mr. Moores says, arc 97Vi per cent occupied, which con trasts with an occupancy of 70 per cent three years ago. WHY this high level of occupancy? Well, the answer isn't particu larly hard to find. For nearly six years, there has been little building, and during this time population has been Increasing at somewhere near a normal rate. New couples have been getting married and founding new homes. Even in times of extreme de pression, people have to have a place to Uve. Real estate authorities tell us that in depression people are inclined to "double up." meaning that more than one family Uvea In a house. As times get better, these people who have been doubling up on house ac commodations start to loc-k'.r a muni for new places to live. Apparently that Is hsppening now W HAT does this high level of hous Portland figures mean? It csn mean only one thing that in all probability we are entering upon another period of active con struction. A period of active house construction will mean two things more employment In the building trades and an Increased market for but Id Irs materials. Both will help business. losing time tot roo Lata to Clas sify A$s is 140 p. m. Flight "o Time Medford and Ja&son County history from the filet of the. MaU Trlbuna 10 and 20 years aeo.
