In The Das News By FRANK JENKINS A CC'OllDINti to tho ,of f iclnl' tabulation Cnmucho, admin istration candidate, not 04 per rent of tho votes cnnl at lint Sunday' election In Mexico. Cynlrul Americana will con clude thot It woi cither a shrewd Job of voting 'cm or an equally shrewd Job of countlnif 'em. J 'yllESE aine cynical Americans 1 will realize thot if Tammnny wan allowed to count Hie volea In New York City, the Invariable result would be on overwhelm ing victory for the Tammnny candidate. rrllE basic purposes of politics, since the world began, have been these: 1. To STAY IN If you're In. 2 TO GET IN If you're out. Wherever the people will stand for It, the "ins" have a tremendous advantage as In Mexico. TF the time ever comes when the people are willing to aland for It, the "ins" will find ways to STAY IN even here In our own United States- A MlttOn slant In the news: Mrs. John H. Parker, moth er of the British consul In Port land, who left England only two weeks ago, declares on her ar rival In Oregon that Britons are certain they will defeat Ger many, On that point, she adds, there Is more optimism In England than In America. TfE'RE an up-and-down lot. Three months ago we were all quite sure Hitler didn't have chance. Now wo are equally sure nobody else has a chance. TT will take more, of course, V than confidence to defeat Hltlor, but a fighter who lacks confidence Is half licked when he begins. It must be said for the British that they've never lacked confidence In themselves.) L -ONFIDENCE in themselves and stubborn willingness to fight for what they want have helped the British to build a mighty world empire, but they would bo a lot better off now if their recent leadership had been better. Wise, far-seeing and PRACTI CAL leadership is one thing for which there is no satisfactory substitute. Diary Explains Murder Sulfide At Los Angeles LOS ANGELES.
