Want 4 Years More?
"VTES, you get just what you vote for.
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.

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

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.

"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

It semed that the general spe

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

Wlukls was In tha middle of a tug
of -war not only on the draft Issue,
but also on the Issues of foreign
policy snd of social reform. Republi
cans of tha type of former President
Herbert Hoover urged hfm. ss they
neve urged every Republican candi
date in the past seven yeara, to 1am
basu everything tha new deal boa
dona, without exception. Bealdes urg
ing him to duck the draft, tha Re
publican laolstlonlsu urged him to
duck the main Isaua of foreign pol
icy, and to confine hla discussion at
the subject to his stuck on tha
president for Inflammatory Ulk In
the foreign field.
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

but the manner may improve later.

Still, it was a messy job. If

think of them as using a pickax.

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

of her planes and munitions for

lean entrance into the war) is i

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

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
