big picture of the nationwide re
sults,
From Burnt Fork in Sweet
water county and Big Trails in
Washkie county, Wyoming, the
returns roll in by truck. In the
rugged country of St. Louis
county, in Minnesota, several
precincts that aren't near roads
deliver the vote by canoe, un
less it's big freeze weather, in
which xase they go by ski.
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.
At the nerve ends of the big
"gathering" network are the re
porters, the "string correspond
ents" who work the precincts
and counties. There's a reporter

vote is tallied, v
Suppose the state is Wyo
ming. 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.
Tucker, Jackson county exten
sion agent.
Questionaires already have
been mailed to every rural box
holder, Tucker said. Fletcher
Fish, Phoenix, crew leader for
Jackson county, is recruiting 19
enumerators who will work in
each of the 19 districts into
which the county, has been
divided.
Take Training
Fish, who received a training
course in' enumeration work at
Oregon State college, is now
training the 19 persons who will
work with him in the census.
The 19 are being trained in
special offices temporarily set
up in the county court's offices
in the courthouse.
Conducted by the Bureau of
the Census, the enumeration
will include such information as
size and number of farms, area
and type of land, ownership, ir
rigation, facilities and equip
ment, livestock, and value of
produce. -Result
Uses :
Results of the census, expect
ed to be available around the
first of the year, are used as
aids in marketing, shipping, and
studies of farm trends.
The 19 enumerators will con
tact all rural residents of the
county. It is hoped, Tucker said,
that the questionnaires which
have been mailed will be made
out in advance in order that the
enumerators can pick them up
and complete the individual
enumerations in a minimum of
time.

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.

closer to the nose and narrower

IT'S IN THE BOOK!
I RUN FOROFFICE
by
. Richard L. 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. (Do nothing
and do it well, thafs
Dicky's own ideal)
