It is high time for a candidate, with an eye on the cigarette smoker vote, to come out for lower taxes and more cigarettes. The shortage, most mystifying, seems to be confined to modern makes. There are plenty of the brands that first saw the light of day, and a match, right after the Spanish American war. a The passing of Al Smith, four times governor pf New York and a politician who never was a charming slicker, sad dened thousands who regarded him as an Idol. He summed up the success of New Deal no tions in a classic truth of four words: "Nobody shoots Santa Claus".

The Irish prime minister Is quite diffident about making a de cision In loss than two weeks. Bulgaria, Rumania and Finland entertained the same general notions, but Russia was too close and too "realistic", a e HISTORY THAT AM "The country is still talking about that 'restricted' United States history that the Govern ment got up. "Paul Revere, Bunker Hill, George Washington. Lexington, Concord, Nathan Hale, Valley Forge, Jefferson. Patrick Henry, Daniel Webster or the Green Mountain boys don't get a men tion. But what a glorifying Democratic personalities and deeds since 1832 gcll "You'd get an idea from this history that nothing that hap pened previous to the last 12 years had been verified as Im portant yet. But I guess Paul Revere wouldn't figure these days. He didn't get his horse by Federal aid and he refused to stop at Medford town to fill out questionnaires.' (N w York Sun). 'Morse, Cordon and Ellsworth " Senator Guy Cordon's warm endorsement of Wayne Morse over the Roseburg radio last night, was greeted with enthusiastic applause. And properly so. For here is a pair of Oregon men it would be hard to beat. Throwing in Harris Ells worth for good measure, this state would then have the' strongest representation in Washington, D. C, .'that we have ever had. "Ever" covers a lot of territory but that is precisely what we mean. llflORSE, Cordon and Ellsworth try to beat that combination in your political history books if you can ! But you can't, and we are not overlooking any of the great Oregon Senators and Congressmen of the past, who have represented this section of the state. We grant there have been greater Individual ora tors, greater individual statesmen if you please when stature, mature wisdom and experience are consid ered. But never a greater trio, a greater COMBINA TION, for brains, ability, aggressiveness and poten tial all-around effectiveness. And that is what this state wants, and will acutely need, in the post-war period, a representation in Washington that will be on the job 24 hours of the day, know what it is all about, and working in nar mony at all times and under all conditions GET RESULTS ! THE war has nothing to do with this. Neither have international relations, nor the Red Menace. We don't mean the above don't comprise important issues in this campaign. They do. But we do mean, that one of the MOST important issues, is OREGON and its future development, and that in turn will be considerably determined by the kind of representation this state will have in the nation s capitol. For whether we like it or don't, the federal govern ment will hove more and more to say about what a state can or can not do in the critical reconstruction period. After that it will, we hope, be different. BUT the present is the important question at the aUlUlllllK And we don't care what your particular brand of politics may be Mr. and Mrs. Voter, or what your ideas about a new League of Nations may or may not be, think this over very carefully before you enter your voting booth a month and a day, hence: What will be best for Oregon, and particularly for Southern Oregon, and therefore for you and your family: A vote for ' Morse, Cordon and Ellsworth or a vote for their opponents? TRUE these 3 men'all belong to one party, and their Anni-mflrita f r a nnf Vt ni T?nf fVinf io 11? n rf f Vi point. The point is the abilities and characters and capaci ties of these three men, two of them now serving the state at Washington, the third one of the most highly qualified men for public life, ever to become a candi date for high office in this state. a I OOK them over carefully, that is what we ask. " Size them up from every angle you desire. If you will only do that there is no doubt in this department about the result. For your own, interest and for the best interest of your slate you will go down the line for: "Morse, Cordon and Ellsworth !" F. D. R. Repudiates Reds Earl Browder, an ex-convict and former head of the Communist party in this country, about a week ago in Madison Square Garden snid : "American Communists even as our great Communist (sic) forebears in 1800 and 1864 supported Abraham Lincoln, will in 1S144 support Franklin Delano Roosevelt for President of the United States." It would be interesting to have the chief of the U. S. "Reds" name a few of our COMMUNIST fore fathers who supported Abraham Lincoln in the last days of the Civil War, but let that pass. a a I AST night in a radio broadcast which in restraint and funereal solemnity offered a striking contrast to the preceding gay and frolicksome "non-partisan" appeal for votes, which was so generally and severely criticized, 1'resident Roosevelt explicitly stated he did not want or welcome any Communist support, or Fascist support, or the support of ANY PARTY seek ing to undermine and overthrow the American system of "free competitive enterprise and private property." Well according to President Roosevelt's own Attor ney General that is precisely what the Communist party in this country and their fellow-travellers are trying to do. THE Mail Tribune has never fallen for the "Red Menace" hokum and doesn't now. It has been used in the past, pretty generally by a gang of cheap politicians and self-seeking table-thumpers, to throw up a smoke-screen behind which they might attain some brief demagogic authority and power. On the other hand we don't deny, and no well informed person can deny, there IS a Communist party in this country, its underlying purpose IS to destroy our present form of government, and it is for reasons best known to itself, throwing itself whole heartedly in the campaign to bring about the re-election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The mild reprimand of President Roosevelt's will not lose one vote of that Communist support, and no one knows this better than the President himself. Nor will it, or should it gain one vote of those citizens who refuse to mark a ballot for a party, any i party that has the official Communist support, 1 Which Shail It Be? CUT OUT AND fTO SIGN THIS VW'7 Iti OlnHH BALLOT AND RETURN THE MAIL TRIBUNE I Intend fo Vole Fpr Governor Dewey President Roosevelt Washington, Oct. 6. U.R) The 'preliminary planning at Dumbarton Oaks for a new league of nations neared an end today with prospects that the plan upon which the big four have reached abou 90 per cent agreement will be common knowledge soon and ripe for pre liminary debate when congress returns after the election. The Anglo - American talks with the Chinese which began a week ago may end this week. All indications point to the fact that the Chinese have not insist ed upon any of their views which do not jibe with those already agreed upon by the United States, Great Britain and the Soviet Union. Thus, one year plus about one week after the four major allies pledged themselves at Moscow to try to form a world organiza tion for keeping the peace, they have formulated a document for presentation to the other united nations. Berlin, Ore., Will Change Name To Honor Greek Town Portland, Ore., Oct. 6. U.B The good people of Berlin, Ore., jumped the gun on post-war planners today and set about changing the name of their fair town before the original name became ancient history. They will call it Distomo, In honor of the Greek village whose 1100 men, women and children were wiped out by the nazis in reprisal for a guerrilla attack last June. Maxwell Anderson, chairman of the committee for the restora tion of Distomo, reported that all plans are set nationally and President Roosevelt and Vice President Wallace will be Invit ed to participate. Anderson said also the archbishop of the Greek orthodox church In the United States would be present. The Linn county court had sanctioned the change and the citizens of Berlin had passed their consent. The ceremony Is set for Oct. 28. Berlin is a postoffice in Linn county 97 miles south of Port land. Radio script will be prepared by Anderson and the ceremony will be broadcast nationally and by short wavo to Europe.
