And if you are going to vote for four more years of Roosevelt, you are going to GET: Four more years of increasing debt Four more years of class against class. Four more years of lack of business confidence on the part of the country; and absence of business ability in the White House. Four more years of strife between the New Deal and business, big and little. Four more years of unemployment, increasing bread lines, and more "shots in the arm" for an ailing and enfeebled Uncle Sam. e e e e HOW do we know? How does ANYONE know ANYTHING in this most uncertain of worlds? By looking at the record, by looking at perform ances of the past. WE grant, in the direction of social and economic reforms, President Roosevelt has accomplished great things, BUT, He has promised to balance the budget, the budget has gone further and further out of balance. He promised to reduce the national debt, the national debt has steadily increased. He promised to make peace with business, short periods of peace have only been followed by renewed and more relentless war. He promised a more abundant life, who except on relief (which can't be continued indefinitely) has had a more abundant life? NE could go on almost indefinitely. In the direction of reform President Roosevelt has accomplished wonders, and those who believe what this country needs are FOUR MORE YEARS OF REFORM, are entirely justified in voting for him. But outside of reform President Roosevelt has sig nally failed, particularly in the direction of all around business recovery which is ESSENTIAL if the budget is ever to be balanced or the unemployment and relief problems are ever to be solved And those who believe a balanced budget and business recovery are IMPERATIVE if this democ racy and the American way of life are to be preserved, are certainly NOT justified in voting for four more years of Roosevelt, for given two chances of four years each, the President has demonstrated that re gardless of how good his intentions or earnest his ef forts may be, his accomplishment in this direction have bein and if re-elected for four years WILL CON- TsNgijY b, JNlU TIP ' other conclusion to be drawn from A rV 1 a. ft -t t- iat record, in the direction indicated, " Ibter, before you decide you want, .ARS MORE! Mr. at '7 stv. Mr. Willkie's Acceptance Speech TTHERE are two kinds of good speeches. There is the kind that makes listeners say "What a fine speech!" and there is the kind that makes them say "What a fine man !" The first is the kind that the pub lic has the right to expect of a professional lecturer. The second is the kind that a candidate for public of fice ought to try to make. For candidates to dress up in oratorical robes that conceal rather than reveal them does not help people to choose public officials wisely. A speech by a candidate ought ta be suffic iently simple as to permit the inspection of the man underneath. Voters ought to know how big he is. And a man who is big enough to welcome this close inspec tion is the kind of man that voters want or ought to want. On that basis of judgment, Wendell L. Will kie's acceptance speech revealed a big man and an honest, shrewd, courageous and practical one. The people of this country are a little spoiled in the matter of political speeches. They expect their candidates for high office to perform on the platform or before the microphone in a way beyond the ca pacity of most men who deserve to be elected for of fice. As a result, they usually get what this exacting and unreasonable demand deserves namely, syn thetic eloquence. And the candidate that floats into office thus adorned, is taken almost sight unseen. We shall get better public officials when we realize that what we need is not so much men who can deliver good speeches as men who can make wise decisions. There is little more reason for selecting a man for his ability to make speeches than for his ability to play the oboe. Both are accomplishments. They are not the tests of ability to administer high office. e e e ,e "lyiLLKIE'S challenge to the President to debate the issues was one of the most striking ever made in a Presidential campaign. It was sincerely expres sive of Willkie at his best. The Trime Minister of Kngland must debate day after dav in Parliament. M- m " 0f tlie ossence of democracy. Such a debate as Willkie proposes would enlighten the public more than hundreds of set speeches. For. unlike oratorv. i debate truly reveals the substance and capacities of I men. News Week.

I and, unfortun-i 1- ,. 1 ately for the public or fortu nately for the general specialist, aa you prefer, the main theme of the paper re ceived considerable publicity when it was passed along to the laity in a release from one of the press service bureaus. e It semed that the general spe clalist found some statistics which Indicated that among 234! cases of nerve deafness and H32 cases of other forms of deafness more than four times as many of the former had taken quinine the latter. I some time than of The specialist, naturally, did not mention how many of the pa tients with nerve deafness had never taken any quinine, for that would tend to impair the weight of his inference. And furthermore, if you are easily convinced, some one found that the proportion of infants born deaf was greater than usual at the time of the influenza epi demic during the first World War and inferred that probably more expectant mothers had taken quinine either as a pro phylactic against flu infection or as a remedy, and hence the deaf ness of the babies. Now It is not unreasonable to believe that deafness or worse may happen to the unborn in fant or to the expectant mother herself who makes the mistake of taking large dosees of qui nine for any purpose without the advice of her physician. In Jury to the hearing is one of the usual effects of quinine poison ing. By the same token, deaf ness due to overdose of quinine Is rarely if ever a permanent deafness.

In my own opinion quinine should be regarded rather as a listened to Roosevelt's speech, also Willkie's. And Mr. Bullitt's fine speech. I agree with Almus Prultt that Mr. Bullitt made a grand appeal to the good old U. S. A. And If the people were not asleep they would answer the call. Wake tip. U. S. A., be fore It's too late.

Again. Willkie rejected these pres sures, strong though they were, and difficult as resistance must have been for a man unfamiliar with tha wsya of politics. The already-mentioned atuck on tha president for being inflsmmstory looked, to many, like a concession to tbe laolstlonlsu. Perhaps It was a concession, but tt wsa a concession to be expected, for even In Philadelphia. In his Ulks with delegstes, WUlkie took the Una that tt waa tha duty of a president to soothe rsther than to excite na tional feelings on foreign problems. On the broader Issue, however, he spoke boldly enough even to satisfy Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes. Ha did so because, as he said to a friend at the time, "lf ha couldn't get elected president without falsifying his views on the biggest problem confronting the country he didn't want to get elected at all." On the whole, therefore, despite the let-down In the willkie csmpsign tha resulu of El wood must be uken ss sbout even. The msnner was bsd, but the manner may improve later. But In choosing the matter, WUlkie exhibited the determination, the In dependence, snd tha ability to with stand would-be pushers around which are the first requlremenu of every effective candidate for national of fice. By Frank Jenkins I EON Trotzky, after living In fear of death for years, Is finally murdered. It looks like an international spy job the kind we read about in the ro mantic thrillers. Still, it was a messy job. If these international agents of the foreign secret police are at all like they are pictured by the fiction writers, it Is hard to think of them as using a pickax. CTALIN Is a revolutionist. Trotzky was a counter-revolutionist. One revolution calls for another. History leaves no doubt of that. Here in America we have peaceful political revolutions, fully sanctioned by law and custom, every few years. Let's keep America that way. TODAY'S dispatches (this Is written on Thursday) quote Sir Archibald Wavell, comman der of Britain's Middle East army (Egypt, Syria, etc.) as say ing: "Hitler, thwarted by Eng land's stout defense of her island kingdom, may emulate Napoleon and turn east ln search of easier success." He may. But if he backs down from the brags he has made about Britain Hitler will dis play weakness and that's one thing he can't afford to do. 1VHEN Napoleon turned east " in search of easier suc cesses, he was following one of his nutty streaks, and it came near ruining his, career in its early stages. He had to sneak back to France, through the blockading British fleet in the Mediterranean, after abandon ing his eastern army to its fate. His eastern campaign was one of Napoleon's notable flops. EGYPT'S war minister says today: "We will not attack, but if tve are attacked we will fight alongside our ally Britain for the protection of our country." This sentiment is commended to those Americans who are try ing to rush us into an offensive alliance with Britain. IN connection with these ef forts to rush us into war, this Associated Press dispatch from London will be found In teresting: "Official British reluctance to comment (on the proposal for! a British-American alliance)! may be explained by the pres ence of public opinion in Eng-1 land that a non-belligerent, United States is more valuable; to Britain than an America at I war. In thel atter event, these persons reason, the United , States would have to use most , of her planes and munitions for strengthening her own Panama i and Atlantic defenses, instead of I letting Britain use them. I "This group (opposing Amer-1 lean entrance into the war) is i probably far more powerful J than the smaller and more vocal I body, including a sprinkling of! American expatriates, w ho are I calling for iniiricd:ate American ' intervention against Germany." i TpiIAT is to say; A smaller and i noiser group in England, in-; eluding American expatriates, wants to force America into war, but a larger and more powerful group of Englishmen believes America will be more helpful by staying out of war. Portland, Ore., Aug. 26. Un less something upsets the sit uation between now and No vember the Willkle-McNary ticket will carry Oregon by a 25.000 majority. If the election was today this state would be safely in the Republican col umn. Such is a summary of opin ions expressed by political ob servers of Oregon who make a specialty of being informed. With almost no exceptions the assertion is made that Oregon is once more a Republican state. The estimate of a 25,000 ma jority for the Republican ticket is made by several informed Democratic politicos and in dorsed by Republicans who are supposedly equally up to snuff. CONSIDER the background of the Roosevelt strength in Oregon. In 1832 Roosevelt re ceived 213.871 votes to 136,019 for Hoover. Mr. Roosevelt car ried the state by 77.852. In 1936 when the new deal was, at its crest and an army of people were drawing relief and the Re publicans had an exceptionally weak ticket, Roosevelt received 266.733 and Landon 125.977, Mr. Roosevelt carrying Oregon by the thumping majority of 147. 156. In 1936 the new deal strength increased 52.862 over its vote in 1932, while the Republicans decreased 10,042. To break even next Novem ber will require the change of 73,578 votes which were cast for Mr. Roosevelt four years ago. This in itself is a very great turnover in a state the size of Oregon, and after the "break" has been attained there are still a few thousand votes required to make the state safe ly behind the Willkie-McNary ticket. Large as the switch must be to make Oregon Republican, dozens of observers of Repub lican and Democratic persuasion insist it will be accomplished. MORS vociferous new dealers say that If the Republican ticket cannot win In Oregon with Senator Charley McNary and all the atate pride that entails, then the Repub licans will be lucky to carry Ver mont and Maine aga-n. The best these new dealers will concede Is about a 11.000 majority for the WIUkle-McNsry ticket over the Roosevelt-Wallace combination, but they do make the concession that Mr. Roosevelt has lost the state regard less of tha argument over tha size of the Republican majority. THE shift to the Republican ticket is coming from business snd pro feeelonal men who were satisfied with Mr. Roosevelt In 193d and who found no appeal In Landon: from labor will come a large body of votes from AFL unions who feel they neve not received a square deal from rTLRB or Secretary of Labor Perkins; from Jeffersontan Democrats who feel that Mr. Roosevelt doea not rep resent their Ideala of democracy; from Democratic party wcrkera who reaent pstronaee being given to out siders instead of the orKanlratton: rrom people, who. while admiring Mr. Roosevelt, resent his attempt to obtain s third term ss president in violation of a tradition Be old as the nation; from voters who fear . o- - - ..... fcvai. v. u v iu travel r, ' on a luxurious train like the Roller- I'AMJ J. n. ri.,f-fw.i-j;t.TlHM'.r.UVnV1 Mr. Roosevelt Is leading tha country down tha road to war a atap at a time until the United Sutea become involved; from wheat and other farmers who were Republicans prior to 1933 snd who are restive under restrictions from Washington. From such pools of voters observ ers predict that sufficient electors will turn to the Willkle-McNary ticket to give the necessary majority. ATTENTION Is slao called to tha Oregon press. Today there la not one Democratic dally advocating tha re-election of Mr. Raeevelt. All but two of these dellte are openly against the new deal, while two, which have not made a commitment editorially, have been critical of var ious policies of tha administration. This condition also sppllee to tha weekly press where champions of Mr. Roneevelt are few and far between. Four years ago Mr. Roosevelt had powerful newepaper backing In this state and papers which were not sup porting him were little more than lukewarm tn their opposition. Tbe Democratic organisation at sn other reaaon why s majority will be rolled up for the Republicans. It hod been shot to pieces by the res ignation of Jim Farley and the sel ection of Id Flynn. New York Bronx boss. The reorgenlzatton la now tn process snd the new set-up Is not functioning ss smoothly aa did tha machine built bv Oenlal Jim. Tha treatment accorded to White Housa Insiders to Farley Is resented by thouaanda of party workers who felt that Farley waa a personal friend, as he wished them to feel. Everything, of course, is subject to changing conditions. Today Oregon ts Republican, but developments may occur In Europe which will throw a different face on the picture.
