A movement is' underway fn

its high school athletics, partic

a new grandstand that does not

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

stand. SOUNDS LOGICAL '

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.

time the sun was shining,
the votes were counted.
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."

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.

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

When 400,000 letters didn't

anxious months of waiting.
But in recent weeks the mail
has been pouring out of the

20 letters at a time she is re
lieved and so is the War De
partment. They didn't like sitting on
the servicemen's mail for sev

was necessary for reasons of
military security. G. I. Joe was
about to take part in the inva

When a large-scale invasion
is in the making, letters and
parcels from the men who will
take part In the operation are
usually Impounded by the
army. To protect the lives and
the safety of the thousands of
men involved no chances can
be taken that any information
will leak out inadvertently.
