The first pumpkins of the sea eon, suffering from obesity, have ahowed up In gruberterlas, and pre In demand for pies and Hallowe'en capers. e e e Wildcats, without strikes it tached, are reported plentiful In the hills, but every body is too busy to slay them for the bounty, e e Most of the senors from Mex ico who have been here picking pears have vamoosed, e The C. Cleveland Corum twin boys will be four years, old the last day of tills month, arid never heard of any president but Roosevelt. Today In France, the Free French will sell the chateau and chattels of P. Laval, the French 'Quisling'. Calling Laval a 'Quis ling' Is giving V. Quisling of Norway the worst of it. e The Japanese radio reports claiming victories over the yank navy In the Far Pacific turned out to be 'moonshine', and, from the wlldness of their claims, It appeared the broadcasters had been drinking It. Thursday, Tokyo soberly announced the Philippine! had been invaded, e e The Dick Phalr boy Dick showed up, Frl. with a penguin he had cut from a shoe box at kindergarten. It looked like a penguin. Usually when small boy whacks out a penguin, the results look Ilka all the other birds, but the penguin. e e e E. Olsen, of the navy, Is home from tho North on furlough. He is the bouncing Paw of proud boy. The Grey Mask was victorious again at the Thursday night mayhem In the Armory, to the (Trent disgust of all present. No gladiator as yet has been able to tuke off hii mask and put it on the referee. e e e Leaf rnking Is the order of the day In the residential areas. It Is sponsored by the Older Girls instead of Uncle Sam. e e Wallace (Yay-BIg) Dlnkens of Prospect towncd In mid-week, also Tracy Boothby of the same area. The straw votes of tho nation Indlcnto a trend for Gov. Dewey. New Deal speeches to the con trary notwithstanding, they also indicate the Fourth Term candi date Is running against Gov. Dewey not Herbert Hoover, e e e Flctrh Fish of Phoenix and Hale Wheeler proudly compared snapshots of their boys recently. The camera reveals the little ras cals have discovered their big toes and are trying to yank same off. e The Elark Tornado scrunched the powerful (at home) Tcllcans Frl. eve. after a week's rest that did them no good Next Frl. they play the powerful Cavemen here. The powerful (at home) Pelicans had previously beaten the powerful Salem team. e e a Police report woodpiles are be ing robbed In the stillness of the night. The pilferers don't care If it is not split, as their mates will do that. The Li Taylor boy Bob of Phoenix no longer has argu ments with his Grandpaw. They are In perfect accord and get along like the President and Premier Churchill of Britain, e a e Andrew Jackson Simpfti, the veteran prospector, la back from a trip up Salt Creek, and saw neither tracks or hide of candi dates. A Junior CofC. was formed here the first of the week. When they got properly organized they plan a Prom, F.D.R. and Boss Kelly In answer to repeated S.O.S. pleas from Mayor Edward J. Kelly of Chicago, who fears a Republican victory, President Roosevelt has agreed to speak in that city on, or before, October 28th. Some good people, of a rather gullible type, have refused to regard thff alleged political alliance be tween the New Dealers, and the underworld gangsters of the large cities in this country, as either a fact, or a real menace. Here is proof of the first. If the alliance did NOT exist, President Roosevelt would hardly accept Boss Kelly's invitation, when he has refused to accept so many others, on the ground that urgent war duties of his office would not permit. THE plain truth is that in every national election since he became President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt has taken full advantage of the corrupt big city Democratic machines, re-election. No political observer of cratic or Republican, would Nor would any such authority deny that such an alliance is a serious menace to good government in this country. In fact here is a PERFECT example of why this is true. President Roosevelt with popularity and tremendous Chicago under the auspices er the President publicly endorses the Kelly machine or doesn't, his mere appearance under such auspices, will further strengthen and entrench that corrupt machine not only in Chicago and Cook County, but throughout the state. Say what you will, or thmk as you will, about the pure crusading quality of the Democratic administra tion at Washington, here is this undeniable fact : Every year it continues destructive force of political machine conniption in this country, is EXTENDED and INCREASED 1 Vote for Cordon, Morse and Ellsworth In all seriousness and regardless of politics, it would be a calamity if any candidate on the Republi can congressional ticket for this section of the state this year should be defeated. For never before in the history of Southern Oregon has such a strong, effective delegation, in both the Upper and Lower Houses of the Congress been pre sented. "Never" covers a lot of territory but that is the literal truth. , "TWO of them have already served in the Senate and House and made excellent records, the third has never before held public office, but in the consid ered judgment of this department, will, if elected, make one of the most able and distinguished U. S. Senators the state of Oregon has ever had. XE grant the national party issues should not be ignored. But after all when one gets down to brass-tacks, what is more important to the welfare of this section of the 6tate, and the people in it, the kind of delegation we have in Washington, in the direction of getting results, getting what we need and want, or the precise attitude that may or may not exist in the future regarding another League of Nations, or whether Italy should be a democracy or a dictatorship of the proletariat. Needless to add this ticket we so strongly endorse is composed of Guy Cordon, present incumbent, for the short term in the U. S. Senate; Wayne Morse for the long term; and Han-is Ellsworth of Roseburg for re-election in the House. X7HATEVER else you do Mr. and Mrs. Voter, and we are speaking to Democrats as well as Republicans, mark your ballot for CORDON, MORSE AND ELLSWORTH thus giving Southern Oregon the sort of strong, effective, cooperative rep resentation in Washington it has never had before, and if the opportunity should be muffed this time, probably will never have an opportunity to secure again 1 This is "IT" for the 96th. Medford and Jackson County have never been far from the war with some of our boys fighting and dying on practically every battle front. But with the 96th under General Bradley now head ing the invasion of the Philippines, it surely does strike home. For the th came to Camp White directly after the Bend maneuvers, and trained here for several months before going to San Luis Obispo for final instruction in amphibious warfare. And now they are in the thick of it, "Smiling Jim" Bradley and all the rest of them ! Genera! Bradley impressed evervone here with his robust, two-fisted, aggressive fighting qualities. There is no doubt that he and tho 96th will give a fine account of themselves, never looking back until the job before them has been done. There are few families in not number one or more close friends in this division. The entire community "good hunting" .vtd as far safe and prompt return ! NAMES DON'T COUNT I Judy Wilde and Cpl.

But FFC.J duct women to Join the Wacs. to gain votes and insure his any consequence, Demo deny this fact. all his prestige, personal political power, speaks in of Boss Kelly, and wheth in power, the strength and Southern Oregon who do wishes them God-speed, as tho Fates will allow, a SEE BLUE TIMES UNDER G.O.P. RULE Minneapolis, Oct. 21 (U.R Vice-President Henry A. Wal lace, making his major mid-west address, said tonight that Presi dent Roosevelt was the "door way of opportunity to the farm er and worker," while his op ponent was "the doorway of op portunity merely for Wall Street." "The vote on November 7 will show how many people are with Wall Street rather than with the farmer and the work er," Wallace said. "Tie republican party, na tionally speaking, had no in terest then and has no interest now in farmers except from the standpoint of votes and as a source of cheap raw materials," he said. "I do not say that farm prices this time will fall as fast as In 1920 should Dewey be elected as they did after Harding was elected, but I do predict that under a republican administra tion the net farm income will be cut in half within a few years." Butte, Mont., Oct. 21 U.R) Sen, Harry S. Truman, prepar ing to move from the west into republican strongholds in the central states, said today that the voters could "not afford to take a chance on a congress made up of the Nyes and the Tafts." 1 Continuing to emphasize his I argument that the nation could I not take a chance on new lead ership, Truman spoke at a lunch-! eon meeting sponsored by the! Silver Bow county democratic organization. He planned to leave tonight for Minneapolis after visiting a nearby copper mine. Calling for the reelection of President Roosevelt and a demo. cratic congress, the vice presi dential nominee told the lunch eon audience: "You can't take a chance on a man with no experience in con ducting the war. a man with no military experience of his own, man who has never made a specific statement on what he Intends to do. You can't take a chance on congress made up of the Nyes! and the Tafts. Many of such are not Interested in the welfare of the country as a whole, they are only interested in their own ends." s . FIRST VICTORY Medford Junior high football team won the first game of their season yesterday after noon when then stopped the Grants Pass Freshmen 14 to 7 on the Grants Pass field. Grants Pass crossed the goal line In the first half to enloy a 7-0 bulge at halftime.
