It will atari about ,; o ciocg and will usher In the Light! - On . (Jet out ana Vote Tomorrow wind-up of this In many waya bitterest political t ampaign in the memory of any of u now Jiving. That'i (he atulll Alter 'Tuesday, we'll all be AMERICANS again. In a world lull of powderkegs ana ngnied inalciiea, wa ve uui . to be. I( we Americana don't hang together now, we'll hang separate ly sooner or later. Ilere'a a thought: Under our electoral gyatem, It Is poaalble for ONK VOTE to turn the atate of Oregon lor Ike or tor Adlal, Here'! how It works: II the atate of Oregon gora tlt'publlran, ALL; of Its electoral voles will be cast for the Republi can candidate. If the atate ol Uro goii goei Democratic, ALL ol Its electoral volci will be cut for the Democratic candidate. The auto of Oregon COULD go Republican or Democratic by ONK VOTE lor one vole more on one aide or the other constitute! I majority H really ahould aoy a plurality, lor there will be oome splinter parlies on the ballot.) Anyway, one vole could turn the trick. Lei's go a ltlile farther along that line. ONE VOTE IM THE WHOLE . MNITKD BTATEfl OF AMERICA 1X)ULD TURN THE TRICK FOR YXK OR FOR ADLAL Suppose the electoral vote wu EXACTLY TIED with one atate null uiu. niljinmo . ... Republican or Democratlo by one vote. f' In auch in event. ONE VOTE could decide the Preaiaential elec tion in Uua vaat nation of ouri. If that ahmild happen AN YOU HADN'T VOTED, how would u Itel about It? Could you ever look yourself to Um foes again? Anyway YOUD BETTER VOTEI Another thought: Maybe you're an IV man and don't think much ol Give-Em-Hell ltarrv. Your vote can cancel Barry Truman'! vole. Maybe you're I wild-eyed New Dealer aiid -hat Senator , Tall'i Innards. Your vole can cancel Bob Tkft'i Vote, Anyway YOU'D BETTER VOTE. The latest word: It la now eatimated that oome tSS'!.000 peraona are eligible to vote in Tueaday'i election. Thla new total Ii more Uian 100,000 above the national estimate) of iwo week! ago. We're getung to be quite coun try. Left rime the campaign with these word: "With malice toward none: with charity tor all: with llrmneas In the right, ei Ood glvea ua to oee the right, let ua atrlve on to llnlah the work we are In; to bind up the1 natlon'a wounda ... to do all which may achieve and cherish a Jvt-t and lasting peace AMONO OURHELVE8 and with all na tion!." The word! are Lincoln's. They were spoken In his second Inau gural address on March 4. Ikes. in the closing days of great ana bloody war and not long oeiore Lincoln wai felled by an assls- ein a nunei. Peeling ran high then. Feeling runs high now. Lincoln's words were the great and tolerant word! of a great ind tolerant man. Lefa not forget them now. Local Legislative Race But Close Battle Looms Br HALE 8CARnROlT.ll Chances are there wont be any change In Klamath Counly'a legls hillve representation coming out ol Tuesday's general election, but the county, as a part ol the Oregon and congressional Dlstilct, will hsve new representation In Wash ington. The county'! two representa tives In the lower house ot the slate legislature. Hank Bemon end Ed Oeary, are unopposed. , Semon, the Democrat, Is listed as having both the Democratlo and Republican nominations on the ballot, end Oeary, the Republican, Is listed Just as a Republican nomi nee. Since Klamath County In entitled to send two men to the house of representatives, each party la al lowed to nominate two candidates t the primary election. This year the Incumbents, Oeary and Bemon, were the only persons running, thereby lesvlng one Democratlo and one Republican vacancy In the nominations, Enough Republicans at the pri mary wrote In Bemon's name to give him the aecond OOP nomi nation. That's why he Ig listed as Democrat-Republican on the ballot now. Some Democrat! of the more liberal stripe will argue that he Isn't a Democrat, anyhow, ex cept by registration, and ought to h llsUri lllSt M ft Rnmihl.n That's neither here nor there. -.'ess smith of Malln, who ran Good Week Experienced By Business lly ItK'IIAIIIi FIHKK NKW YORK, im The nation's economy run at lull till thla week at lha prusldi'iillul cumpulgn lion rod i clone.

Hitchcock got the Republican nomination unopposed, and there wasn't any avowed Democratic can didate at the primary.

Jones, former La Urande radio executive. Coon la the Republican, Jones the Democrat. The contest between them might be Uie closest on the atate ballot this election, By and large they present the voter a clear cut choice ot what type ol man Is wanted to represent them In Washington, Coon is a con servative, a scutes rights man, and he probably would be very much at home In the Senator Taft wing of the Republican party. Jones, on the other hand. Is a liberal, with International ex perience and expiessed leanings to ward the policies ot the . present national administration. Jones has waged a very active campaign, exploring; every town and crossroads of this giant dis trict, and has made himself very well acquainted. He has a fine personality and la quick and at ease In debate. He has the backing ol most labor unions, but his sup port Is not coin. ncd to that prov it at the letr, and the onlooker at the junction.

Republican, was congressman from thla district 10 years, having been first elected In 1M3. His Immediate predecessor In olfice was a Democrat, Walter Pierce, the lormer Oregon- gover nor. Pierce, also served lor 10 years, All four of Oregon's congress men, Walter Norblad, Harris Ells worth, Homer Angell end Stock man, are Republicans, and the state's Democrats would like very much to Weak that monopoly. They figure, too,, that the 2nd District Is the place to do It, because the Democrats have a registration ma jority in this district and also a history of having elected a Demo crat, Pierce, five times In a row. Pierce Is supporting Jones. Whether they can turn the trick remain to be seen. But the race between Coon and Jones should be close. it unidentified.

U.S. Workers Convene Here Norman Murray, TJSBR regional planning engineer, told some 40 del egates to the Oregon State Feder ation of Federal Employes Unions that employe responsibilities to im prove production must go to the grassroots. Speaking In Recreation Hall at Municipal Airport this morning, Murray listed four points Illustrat ing employes and their place with management. 1) Integrity, he said, like that of Lincoln when he walked miles to return a few cents overcharge. 3) 8elf evaluation of the Job's programs which In many cases will affect employe attitudes and In crease production. 3) Supervisors ahould enforce sound personnel policies, which in turn will make for happier em ployes and Increased production. 4) Local groups, not top level of ficials, must foster the means ol 'assisting management.
