Gov. Dewey In his Pittsburgh

America abroad any better than
It has managed affairs at home?
There is always the chance,
when things get down to diplo

and Stalin will not be handled
any better than John L. Lewis
of the miners' union and J.
Caesar Petrillo of the musicians'
union.

What is Non-Partisanship?
To the Editor: I am wondering if I am alone In my opin
ion of how the newspapers should conduct themselves dur
ing a political campaign.
An editorial In the Medford Mall Tribune of October 15
was speculating on how many people change their minds
on account of political editorials and I would like to state
my opinion and that of a number of my friends with whom
I have discussed this question.
First, the contradictory statements of both parties con
fuses and disgusts the average intelligent voter to the ex
tent that he is doubtful of the qualifications of any can
didate. Second, our newspapers, by taking sides and quoting the
candidates of either party, are bound to lose the respect and
confidence of a number of subscribers, especially those who
do not have time to read both sides and between the lines
and make a living on the side.
In writing this letter I would like to offer the suggestion
that our newspapers confine their political activities to a
simple statement of the qualifications of the candidates of
both parties and leave It go at that. In this way the useful-'
ness of our newspapers to the community would not be im
paired by a loss of confidence in the paper, In case the
winning candidate is not able to accomplish all he has
promised to do. In my opinion, an honest, progressive, non
partisan newspaper is the greatest asset a community can
have.
ELWOOD HUSSEY,
Cava City, Ore., Oct. 17.
The above'eommunication is selected from many
we nave received commenting upon the editorials in
last Sunday's issue, because it is typical represents,
apparently, a widespread local misapprehension as to
what a nonpartisan newspaper really is.
A nonpartisan newspaper is not a newspaper with
out political opinions. Nor is it a paper that hesitates
at any time to express them.
A nonpartisan newspaper is simnlv a newsnaner
that does not blindly follow ONE party. It does not
act as a spokesman for ONE party. It supports, in
short, candidates and principles and issues, in which
the paper believes, regardless of party.
THAT is what the Mail Tribune has done for a great
manv vears in fact, it has been an indenendent
paper rather than a partisan paper, ever since it was
established, nearly 40 years ago.
But that does not mean it has been a paper that
has perched on the fence during every political cam
paign, or failed to take sides in all important political
contests, local, state and national.
Not at all.
The Mail Tribune has taken definite sides in this
campaign as it has in all
paigns and will so continue as long as it remains
under its present management.
CIGHT years ago we decided, after attending the
-' two national conventions, that it would be better
for the country to give Franklin Delano Roosevelt the
conventional second term, than turn national affairs
then over to Governor Landon of Kansas.
That decision may have been wi3e or unwise.
That is not the point. The point is a partisan Renub
lican paper would have stuck to the Republican party,
regardless or nen or nigh water.
The Mail Tribune being a nonpartisan paoer was
under no such obligation.
party and the candidates it believed would do the
better job. And that is what it did.
A ND that is precisely what we are doing this year.
After attending both party conventions and
studying the situation for a considerable time, we
became convinced that, all things considered, a
CHANGE at Washington this year instead of con
tinuing the Roosevelt New Deal administration for
four more years 16 years in all would be best for
the country and all the people in it.
A GAIN, the point is not whether that decision was
wise or unwise, right or wrong.
The point is the decision was made honestly and
after considerable study, and once convinced the vic
tory of the Republican party would be best for the
country at this particular time and with the postwar
problems what they promise to be during the next
four years; obviously it was not only the right, but
the duty, of the Mail Tribune to do everything in its
power, to bring that victory about.
e e '
GO there is the situation as far as newspaper non
kJ partisanship is concerned and we trust the mis
apprehension of our above correspondent and appar
ently many other readers who oppose the political
views of this paper in this campaign, that nonparti
sanship is a synonym for nonparticipation in politics,
has been removed.
INCIDENTLY it is rather amusing to recall that the
same complaint was made by many of our Republi
can friends in the 1JW6 campaign, only we will admit
they were far more bitter regarding what was then
termed our turn-coat PARTISANSHIP than the
Roosevelt adherents are today.
But that is all in the day's work if you happen to be
running a NON-party newspaper.
Can't have your cake and eat it, too, in this here
"wail of tears." Nonpartisanship, like partisanship,
has its price that must be paid !

warned that he always expected
4 per cent of error and then al
located 19 states with almost
half the electoral votes (252) into
the "probable error" classifica
tion. In short, nearly half his
states are doubtful.
DEYOND this abnormal clvil-
lan doubt there are two other
factors which make the election
practically impossible to fore
cast. There are 8.000.000 men
and women of voting eligibility
away from home In the services
and at least 4 000 000 of these
are expected to vote. It would
be against the law for anyone
to poll these votes. From what
hear Inside, they are being
snlit fairly evenly between
Roosevelt and Dewey, and not
being cast In bulk for either
side.
In both army and navy (par
ticularly navy), where career
men rely on political appoint
ments for advancement, the
votes are going to Mr. Roose
velt. A regular might ruin his
chance for promotion if It be
came known among his super
iors that he voted against their
wishes.
Reserves from civilian life and
a good number of the enlisted
and drafted men. however, are
voting for Dewev as fast as then
can and rather openly But this
service vote is not only an un
pollable influence for advance
guessing, it may not permit the
outcome of the election to be
known for some weeks after
election day. -Eleven states have

lots. M

vital Pennsylvania where
ttle military count will not be
begun until November 22. two
weeks after civilian voting. As
more .than 650.000 military bal
lots are to be counted In Penn
svlvania it is conceivable that
the state could remain doubtful
until they are totaled. (Roose

four years ago )

December 5.
THE theory of these states In
delaying the soldier count
was that men at remote fronts
should have plenty of time to
get their votes in.
The second factor which
makes the election extremely
difficult to gauge Is the con
tlnunus fluctuation of war pop
ulations. California and other
west coast war centers have
been losing many thousands a
week for the last few months
These people are seeking per

Will they vote? VVHl those re

of those states (southerners, for
Instance In Michigan)? How can
anyone weigh these Influences
accurately?
If yon average out all these
enigmas and calculate reason
able expectations you will give
a slight edge to Mr. Roosevelt,
but a better-chance than Willkie-
had to Dewey.
My election advice Is this:

are counted.
Mr. Ickes Functions

San Diego Union)
Mr. Harold L. Ickes, who hBS
been a hang-nall on the public
thumb for some 11 years as an
accessory to the new deal In the
department of the interior, is
now functioning in the only ca
pacity in which he can earn his

In a war-time campaign, when
millions of American homes are
shadowed by mourning and anx
iety, Mr. Ickes contributes his

The Crossley Poll
C. 1. 0. 73 for Roosevelt, A. F. L. 61
By Archibald M. Crosilay
Considerable difference be
tween the labor organizations
was found among those inter
viewed in pivotal states.
Seventy-three per cent of mem
bers of the C. I. O. expressed
preference for Roosevelt, com
pared with 61 per cent of mem
bers of the American Federation
of Labor. In states with indus
tries heavily represented in C.
I. O. membership, the Republi
cans face strong Roosevelt sen
timent, and active efforts to get
out the vote. There are Indica
tions, however, that C. I. O.
members are numerically less
qualified to vote than those who
belong to the A. F. of L. Per
sons Interviewed were asked to
state length of residence at pres
ent address and in present coun
ties and states, and their an
swers were checked to state
voting regulations. In addition
they were asked other questions
as to qualifications in Septem
ber. Eleven per cent of C. I. O.
members were placed in the dis
qualified group, compared with
8 per cent of A. F. of L. mem
bers. Miners are 69 per cent for
Roosevelt, factory workers of all
kinds average 58 per cent.
Roosevelt has held 75 per cent
of the factory workers in the
sample who voted for him in
1940, while Dewey has held 85
per cent of the smaller number
of factory workers who voted
for Willkie. Among all civilians,
Roosevelt has held 70 per cent
and Dewey 89 per cent.
Those in "white collar" oc
cupations are for Dewey by 54
per cent. In this group Dewey
has held nearly 90 per cent of
those who voted for Willkie,

vital Issues now before the na
tion. It Is related that a British
business representative, in
Washington to undertake cer
tain negotiations with the gov
ernment, inquired of one of the
I numerous misinformation bu
reaus in the capital whom he
should Interview. When told,
"That will be up to Ickes," the
Briton is said to have replied:
"And what, may I ask, are
Ickes?"
Americans In general, unfor
tunately, have come to know
what are Ickes. They know
Ickes principally as a voice and
a tongue. The voice, a cross be
tween a caw and a croak, is
used mostly for those purposes.
The tongue, swung on a swivel,
operates independently of the
brain and is activated mostly by
the gall bladder and the spleen.
Probably due to his reckless
tossing of statements and crude
juggling of phrases, some satiri
cal columnist (perhaps Pegler)
has endowed Mr. Ickes with the
title of "Honest Harold."
To the American people, the
question is not what are Ickes,
but why is Ickes? Nature ex
plains the existence of certain
species In her economy by the
necessity for scavengers. Phi
losophy assumes that fleas, mo
squitoes and horse-flies are es
sential to distract the human
mind from real troubles and
serve as a reminder that life
cannot be all skittles and beer.
Perhaps a better simile for Mr.
Ickes. however, would be a case
of hives whose periodic out
break serves as notice of poisons
in the system which must come
out.
We have read with some hu
miliation that Mr. Ickes started
his youthful career as a mem
ber of the newspaper profession.
As nothing much happened eith
er to the profession or to Mr.
Ickes, he quit the fraternity and
descended to a political career.
Beginning as a Chicago Reform
er with a big R, he has run the
political gamut from Bull Moos-
er with Theodore Roosevelt to
new dealer with Franklin. His
adaptability is disclosed in the
fact that although tempted a
few years ago to run for mayor
of Chicago to personally oust
the notorious Kelly machine,
the advent of the 1940 new deal
convention found him holding
hands with Kelly and enlisting
the machine under the Roose
velt aegis. This strange friend
ship of Reformer and Boss con
tinues on an intensified scale In
the 1944 campaign.
Of Mr. Ickes' services as sec
retary of the Interior nothing
speaks more plainly than the
fact that the most enthusiastic
applause evoked by Governor
Dewey on his tour of the great
West was his promise to kick
Ickes out as one of his first of
ficial acts in the presidency. In
his capacity as fuel administra
tor he has succeeded in bung

while Roosevelt has held only

Roosevelt's retention is 72 per

Farm voters interviewed In;
pivotal states are 56 per cent
for Dewey, who has held about
nine out of ten of the Willkie
voters. Roosevelt's loss of popu
larity among farmers is shown
by the fact that he has maintain
ed the loyalty of only two out
of three of his 1940 farm voters
the lowest score among any of
the occupational groups. Farm
voters include operators and
farm hands. '
The importance of the farm
vote varies considerably by
states. Many of the so-called
farming states are definitely for
Dewey and unlikely to shift. In
cluded among the pivotal states
with over 20 of total popula
tion in 1940 on farms are Min

ile knuckling to John L. Lewis,
coal mining is still in chaos; and
independent ofl men assert that
his oil policies are destined to
liquidate their business.
With his own $15,000 Job at
stake, Mr. Ickes' zeal for the
fourth term is understandable.
Conscious of his shortcomings
as a cabinet official, it is also
understandable that he should
feel impelled to render to his
benefactor the service to which
he is best adapted, smearing the

Those Who Live In Glass Houses
To the Editor: The editor Is
correct In concluding that the
effect of newspaper editorials,
as well as campaign oratory, on
the thinking of the average Is
negative. The voter has learned
to think for himself. To get the
facts he must ferret them out
for himself. He has discovered
that the "facts" handed him In
editorial -olumns are apt to be
cut on the bias by the publisher's
own political and economic axe.
The voter is wary of them.
Take for instance, Sunday's
column and a half (double
spaced) editorial or editorials,
anent giving fair, factual Infor
mation to the voter. After all
this preliminary, what "unpre
judiced" authority did the editor
quote on reasons against the re
election of President Roosevelt?
His careful and much heralded
selection was Robert Moses,
Commissioner of Parks and Pub
lic Works, a Gov. Dewey politi
cal appointee in the state of
New York. Anyone who read
through this "fair, factual, sane"
article by Dewey's Moses, can
see why It remains for others
besides newspaper publishers, to
lead the voter out of the wilder
ness of prejudice, vituperation
and partisan fog, to the plains of
clear and unbiased thinking.

Trail, Oregon.
Ed. Note: Let the writer look
to his own partisan prejudices
and to the facts! Robert Moses
was never appointed by Gover
nor Dewey to anything, he wai
appointed to his present position
as N. Y. Park Commissioner by
one of Governor Dewey's most
bitter enemies and an ardent
New Deal democrat, Mayor La
Guardia.
