There is just as much sense in the legis latures (If any) of Iceland and Siberia tackling the eastern Oregon Irrigation problems. e A movement is' underway fn the sisterly city of Salem to put its high school athletics, partic ularly football, on a more vic torious basis. There is talk of a new grandstand that does not leak when It 'rains, a turf field instead of the current dirt one, that when wet would mire a Gen. Sherman tank, and adop tion of a plan for production of tackles and halfbacks in the grade schools. It is nice to have a winning football team that gets its name in the metropoli tan headlines, but it takes some thing more than a fancy stadi um, a shamrock green field and a girls' drill team. It takes foot balls from, Santa Claus, vacant lots where Juveniles tug and tussle, muscle building vacation toil and potatoes. The spud an gle helps out mother.

Cat Mall Tribune Waal Ad TtlUr. Wot. 10, 1844 Another $64 Question ' To the editor: - " . Will you please explain (If you can!) why the people of Oregon voted so strongly for Roosevelt and so strongly against his Democratic supporters and would-be repre- sentatives in this state? We mean the Democratic candi dates for congress, Mahoney, Smith and Dover. If the people believe in Roosevelt and his policies, one would sup- . pose they would both vote for him and the men who stand back of him, instead of voting for men who not only oppose him personally but his policies, and so decrease his majority in the Senate and House. This question has got quite a : bunch In this neighborhood stumped, and as the Mail Tribune likes to ask $64 questions and answer them, how about giving an answer in this case? We can't pay you more than 64 cents for we are broke because of betting on your candidate, Mr. Dewey, but we will take up a collection . for that much if you answer the question right. loruiBi fHE OAKDALE REPUBLICAN CLUB,.

Here is the answer: THE partisan Democrats voted, for Roosevelt and Truman. Mahoney, Smith and Dover, right down the line. ' The partisan Republicans voted for Dewey and Bricker, Cordon, Morse and Ellsworth, also right down the line. But the Independents, who decided the result of this presidential election in Oregon, as they did all over the country, reiusea to voie -ngni aown me line" for either party. They voted to keep President Roosevelt on the job at Washington because they believed it better "not to change horses in the middle of the stream."

That's all, it explains the entire result in Ore gon and elsewhere. Then why didn't they send and Dover to help him? voters decided, and properly so, that the Repub lican candidates, Messers Gordon, Morse and Ells worth, would not only support President Roosevelt in every way as wholeheartedly and loyally AS FAR AS THE WAR -AND PEACE ARE CONCERNED as the Democratic trio; but in they would be infinitely effective, particularly where in the reconstruction period XHICH is only another way of saying, what we " frequently stated during the campaign; that but for' the war, President Roosevelt would'have been decisively defeated,' whereas, with the war still on, he was very decisively reelected. " e e e THERE were. other reasons for this amazing split in , the vote, but that, of course as we see it. was the main one. The Independent vote Roosevelt on one side and the Republican state dele gation on the other, more to the latter than the for mer, for the superiority in character, ability, training ana popularity of the Republican candidates over their Democratic opponents for contrress. far ex ceeded the superiority of President Roosevelt over Governor Dewey. Ye3 the "war and peace" issue turned the balance in favor of the Roosevelt administration, but it was not a factor elsewhere for the Republican support in that directidn could be depended upon as strongly as the Democratic support. If that isn't worth 64 cents to the Oakdale Republi can club, then make it two bits, for we need the money ! . ....

News Behind The News By Paul Mallon New York, Nov. 10 Sharp changes in inner political man agement of this nation are likely to evolve from election re sults. . Governor Dewey natur ally will go back to Al bany 'for the two or more years of his term and there will wield whatever lead ership he raul Malloo chooses to as sume over the tremendous num ber of people who voted for him. But Governor Briclcer chose to relinquish his Ohio Job, and the returns were not fully tabulated before a movement was started in the party to get him to go on to Washington to take over the chairmanship of the republican national committee. e e e DRICKER has always been pop ular within the party and the influence he wielded successfully in the election, in Ohio and less successfully in the far western states, makes the idea of his as suming the full-time Job of party organization management rather obvious. Especially as Chairman Brownell made personal sacri fices to take the Job during the campaign (he was doubtful about It until pressed by Mr. Dewey) and has Intended to retire. The republicans were -not dis organized by the result which caused only the deflection of Senator Ball. Actually the tabu lation of votes induced most of the party leaders to predict an easy national victory, when, if ever, the vote-magic of Mr. Roosevelt Is eliminated from the picture, as the popularity of democrats drops, sharply after his name is passed. ON THE democratic side, the victory healed no wounds, put no bandages on any and left some enigmas. Obviously there is going to be an immediate start of a movement, to control the party for 1948, on the ground that "surely" Mr. Roosevelt will not run again (the word surely being used by democratic sup porters of the president current ly); My guess is he may make some effort soon to control that result, but how long he can hold together such uncomprisable ele ments as the south and the Wal-lace-Hlllman group will depend upon his ingenuity. Retaliation against Senator Byrd for failing to declare for Roosevelt may be attempted by the northern ele ment (I mean Senator Guffey in particular) but the astonishing size of the anti-Roosevelt vote in Virginia puts Byrd beyond anything more than some trouble. The Texas Senator O' Daniel who led the anti-Roosevelt forces at home may not fare so well. e e - e VICE-PRESIDENT Truman is P T n hut lp Iripnlncrlrnllv bent than Wallace and in a more machine-like sort of political way. He is a good-natured and an exceptionally modest person (he actually still blushes). As senator he had a habit of turning things off in a half Joking man ner, a trait which got him into much trouble In the big-time campaign circuit, particularly in Massachusetts. He lost prestige within the party during the cam' paign, although he, performed well enough, or, at least success fully, in his main job of stressing the fights against "isolationists." He was nervous in the east be cause of the Ku Klux Klan charges, and It was the demo cratic high command which re quired him to say again, again and again In his Madison Square Garden speech the phrase re gardless of creed or color." e e e WALLACE seems to want to f carry on his Ideological lead- nrahln in nr nut nf tha ffnvern. ment and may become a more acceptable leader than Hillman. But democratic eyes are also on Rom where Read the other day about a G.I. overseas who received an install ment notice from the income tax collector. He wrote back; "Over here, even a letter from you la news from home." A gag, of course -but with an overtone of truth about it. More than anything else, the men like getting letters from home.
