Hired men of these parts who have been kicked by both, report the kick of mule is the mora potent.

Recently It wandered Into the engine house and stood leaning against the tongue of the tire engine asleep fur sev eral hours, unaware of the In terest of papers by. Last night a charitably-Inclined gentleman found it asleep on the sidewalk near the burned Vogt building, and he got some hay and housed the demure little fellow In the marshal's office. When the night watchmen came that way they took pity on Its lonesome ness and turned It over to the party of he first part whose In itials are George Brown. The colt put in a comfortaba night gain alongside the fire engine, and this morning, well, this morning It's housecleanlng day at the marshal's office and the engine house." (80 Yrs. Ago. Col. Th Dalies Chronicle.) The Straw The result of the Mail follows: Dewey 1844 Roosevelt 280. Before the hoots and start in, let it be stated, this straw-poll was conducted as all of our straw polls have been conducted in the past, with one exception. In the past there was the voting was going on. But this year, when it crats were not generally did make the editorial snap out of it, mark their office, so a real cross-section of political opinion in this section of the state FOLLOWING this request there was a slight in r crease in the Roosevelt vote but it did not last long. When the polls closed last Saturday night the count stood as above, 1844 to 280. Monday 27 ballots came in, not ONE for Roosevelt. (These of course were not included in the total count. ) Just why our Democratic friends refused to par ticipate, we haven't been able to find out. e e THERE is one possible factor. The Republicans this year are very much hopped-up, extremely party conscious, just rarin' to go. There was no sohcition party organization as far as we know tried to get their members to vote, as has been the case some times in the past. Yet from the very outset the Dewey votes came pouring in and every ballot properly signed, the Roosevelt votes That party enthusiasm had something to do with the result Yet it could hard ly explain such an overwhelming Republican major ity over 6 to 1. HOWEVER, before this straw ballot is condemned completely and the practice is abandoned as far as this paper is concerned, it might be well to wait and see what the result in November really adds up to. We know there will be no six-to-one majority. But if Governor Dewey should sweep Jackson County by a record-breaking vote, it might demon strate this year's straw-ballot was not so utterly out of line and worthless after all. V-E Day Forecasts While economists and other experts are coming forth almost daily with predictions of what may be expected after Germany folds, a recent survey of data furnished by war agencies and regular govern ment departments provides probably the best infor mation available on a subject now uppermost in many minds. The document, according to the Wall Street Jour nal, is now in the hands of the Office of War Infor mation, apparently for "its private guidance, and not for public distribution. While dislocations in civilian life are likely to be widespread, and in some instances serious after "Victory in Europe Day," the report is generally optimistic. THE forecasts, in brief, include : Employment: Some 5,000,000 workers will change jobs during the first year with peacetime job prospects better six months after the war end than durintr the six months immediately following. An unmanageable employment between the ends of the German and Japanese wars. Inflation : Forty per cent ine in World War I came heavy inflation pressure may also be expected this time. Food: Sugar and butter continue under rationing for six months or more while the better cuts of meat, fats and oils, milk, cream and cheese will be in plentiful supply after six months. Gasoline and Tires: Easing of gasoline rationing will be gradual over several months. Passenger car tires will be free of rationing in three months after V-E Day. Fuel Oil : Continuation ing 1914-45 heating season. Clothing: bhoe and rubber boot rationing to con tinue for some time. Textiles and clothing will con tinue short of civilian needs. Autos: Rationing after During the first 15 months of reconversion the indus try will be unable to produce more than 2,500,000 cars and 1,000,000 trucks, only a fraction of the esti mated demand. Munitions: A cut of 40 production is expected within three to six months after V-E Day. Spending: Necessity for the public will continue practically undiminished for some time. ALTHOUGH the governmental report commented that current military events justified the belief that fighting in Europe could terminate before, or soon after, the end of 1914, a later statement by OWI Director Elmer Davis, discounted chances for peace this year.

News Behind The News By Paul MaJJon Washington. Oct. 10 Mr. Roosevelt's voice vibrated with what sounded like patriotic fer vor when he urged his party workers to get the vote regis tered and re corded this year as never before. He made it seem almost non parti san pa triotism the way he put it, reminding all citizens of Paul Mellon their duty. Most observers wrote It down as the same old political line most candidates use on elec tion eve, this time delivered earlier. But he must have spoken from Inner knowledge of a condition which may decide the election and more. e e e THIS campaign so far has been almost entirely centered up on undercover organization by both sides to get out their vote. Unfortunately, no political au thorities here, republican or democratic, keep close tab on national results of this domi nating phase of the campaign. Yet here and there facts are coming to the surface, as, for In stance, in Baltimore. There registration has in creased 10 per cent over 1942. Of the 32,000 additional voters In that steel, aircraft war-work er port, 22,000 were democratic, only 8,000 republicans (odd fig ures and Independent voters ap parently accounting for the miss ing 2,000). Nearly one-sixth of the whole city registration was Negro (336,380 white and 61,385 Negro). The greatest rush of regis trants was In ten-day period be fore the time limit. Indicating clearly someone was doing an extraordinary Job along Mr. R.'s line, In fact, enough to swing the entire state of Maryland In a close election. e e e f ARGE registrations are re " ported from some other war worker centers (Lowell, Mass., for one), clearly Indicating the CI. O. political action crowd is handling a Job formerly reserved for official democratic organiza tion men. From Ohio and Indiana, how ever, congressmen brought re ports that the local democratic organizations In some counties are not functioning at all. Whether they are silently resent ful or Just hopeless the report ing congressmen do not know. They are, however, convinced democratic organizing is not up to standard. Up to now no labor organiza tion has taken over the local ma chinery of either political party. In many cases labor votes have dominated districts and con trolled the party politicians, but union men were not In party of fices. I believe C. I. O. tried to get Its men Into the democratic or ganization In Michigan a year or so back, but failed. e e e - I'HE most authentic national , report available as a whole thus Indicates C. I. O 's efforts have been spotty so far In war working centers they failed In their campaign to bring the vot ing booths Into the factories, thus to provide greater voting facili ties for their people than citi zens generally enjoy, but they have been able to edge them selves toward positions usually handled by democratic leaders (many of wham are away to war this year). In most midwest coun ties there apparently Is no C.I.O. activity, or signs of success. The republicans of course, have their 28 governors and Dewey has worked out with them, and with the republican congressmen, an extraordinarily close co-operative system which he expects to produce the regis tering and voting results for his party Mr. Roosevelt may have spok en, therefore, less patriotically than from a troubled heart. Some of his associates are even more troubled at the prospect that C. I. O. may move In to take county chairmanships after this campaign It may not be enough then that he repudiate the commu nists on his coattnlls. They are digging Into the lining and the seams.
