Returned by Boat ,' In some island precincts in Maine and Minnesota, the re turns go by boat to the main land. And in other isolated sec tions amateur radio, snowplows, and cowboy courier help get the" returns in. But those are extremes. : In virtually all of the United States, in an election of national im port, as fast as the vote-is count ed it flows by modern commu nication onto press association wires. VV. From precinct, town, county, and parish levels it funnels' into the big news nerve center in Washington. The United Press, in its biggest and most complex news coverage task of the year, on election night and the next day will gather the vote,-count it, and explain it. The backbone of the cover age of local candidates and their election is your newspaper. Many of these returns are shared with the press associa tions. .-: Here's how the process works.

The reporter phones his small segment of the vote to the United Press bureau in Chey enne. There, editors enter It on a series of charts-which record the state vote totals as they grew during the night. From that record, writers In the' bureau turn out' stories of regional interest and within a minute after the new votes have gone from adding machine to chart new figures flash across the country.. Bells jingle on the teletypes as the bulletin ticks into the Washington UP election head quarters. . It goes directly to the sena torial charts and tabulators, be ing recorded on adding ma chines and entered in the Wyo ming column of the charts after erasure of .the previous figures. Thus within two minutes after being computed in Cheyenne, the vote - becomes part of the national total. On election night, the UP uses two sets of wires. One is a gath ering system on which returns leap across the country straight to Washington. After being tab ulated and processed, the figures go out from Washington on the second set of wires in dispatches written by experienced writers. These are the leads that tell who won and "what the voting means to the newspaper reader and the radio and television audience.

Census oi Farms In Jackson County To Start Nov. 5 The Jackson county phase of a national five-year agricultural census will get under way Fri day, Nov. 5, according to W. B.

JolocrojJ Welfare Aid To Develop Resources Of Jobless Urged Portland U.R) Welfare workers should aid communities in developing resources to furn ish work to the unemployed as well as dispensing aid to the aged, dependent children and other worthy presons, according to State Welfare Administrator 'Mrs. Loa Howard Mason. Mrs. Mason returned yester day from - Washington, ... JD.C, where she conferred with Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, secretary of health, education and welfare. Should Develop Resources "I feel," she said, "that wel fare workers should be respon sible for assisting people to de velop for themselves their own resources. The terrific current problem ot dependent children, for example many belonging to families whose fathers have deserted them - could be best developed, if the fathers were able to find employment in the community in which the family resides instead of having to go elsewhere to find work." Program Would Aid She said she asked what plan there may be for a public works program available for indivi duals who do not find their own type of employment available. "I was told that President Eisen hower has recommended a high way expansion program which would aid in this way," she said. She said the .conference in Washington was held, in part, for the purpose of reviewing the federal program such as ex tension of old age and survivors' insurance and increase of the base earning ruling from $3600 to $4200. w: ." 1 1 1 DIFFERENT VIEWS Senator Irving M.

Neuberger (with I few comments by a kibitzing readar) -' Harper's Magazine, February, 1947 "Candidates are timid and evasive because such conduct is' politically profitable. I might say we are cowards in self-defense the politican siding with a particular organization on nine issues out of ten is scorned for the tenth, Blunt speech In campaigns always costs me votes , , '." Yes, Dicky, you found it wiser to speak softly and . carry a big alibi, as Teddy Roosevelt did not say. "As a candidate, I am aware that forthrightness generally must be its own reward. The political re tort perfect Is that which sounds strident but of fends nobody. 'Say nothing and say it well,' I was advised by a United States Senator who interested himself In my embryonic career , , .'" "Say nothing, and say it well." That's a clever mor sel of advice.
