Chicago, HL Tune in tonight and hear the speeches *o be given al the banquet of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association meeting. —o The time has arrived for mailing | Chris’mas packages to the boy it and girls overseas. It will continue until October 15th. Be sure to follow directions and get your gifts off as soon as you can. The Nasi forces don't want to mix

it up with General Pa'ton. They have heard about him and how hr carries the ball. When he atari* for a given goal he gets there In record-b taking time and with an organiza'ion that can hold the position. —o We cau complain all we want to about the OPA but according to a chart ju»' issued it has performed a splendid job. In 1919 the cost ut living rose while in 1944 the increase has been only 27.9%. It's the only known method of preventing dangerous Inflation. —o Delegates from fifty nations will meet in Washington soon to confer on regulation of fu'urc civil aviation. They will decide whether each nation will have one line or competitive routes. The public will want the lowest rates possible and the best service and that usually comes from keen competPion. —o If the national election Is close, we may not know the result for several weeks after voting. In eleven states ot the Union, as much as thirty days is permitted to await arrival of the ballots. This might change results since from almost every state comes the word that thousands of '.hose in the armed forces are taking advantage of their right and privilege of voting . o—o In the recent Maine election the Democratic vote was of! 40% and the Republican vote was 20% less than four years ago. It showed a

lack of Interest, due no doubt to the tact that the campaign was listlew Any way they didn't excite the votes. Expert* say the change of votes was slight and the larger Republican majorities due entirely to the difference in ‘he ti tun tier of voters from the two parties to go to the polls O—O in a Democratic state convention held In Texas this week, th* fifteen electors who had announced they would not vole for Roosevelt.

were ousted and their places filled by pro-Roosevelt electors. Those who were selected last spring will carry the Issue Into the courts but the regulars declare they are ready for that proceedure too. The light has attracted attention all over the country and was reflected In the national convention In Chicago. O—O . Attorney General Emmert has ruled that in cases where candidates die or resign, other names may be printed on the ballots when ’ regularly named or the former name can be used and the votes counted for the new candidate. The mix-up comes as the result of death or resignation of candidates in several counties after the soldier ballots were printed. The new election statute designed to give those in the armed service the right to vote provides for this. Mr. Emmert ruled. —r—O—O Governor Dewey wants General MacArthur to have more aid in the Pacific war and if he needs It, every one else feels the same way. The way the great general has been advancing and the completeness with which his every attack Is recorded. Indicates that he has a rather good outfit supporting him General MacArthur Is recognised as one of the world's greatest fighting men He can have all the material be needs and he wit! fight on to a great victory. The subject is certainly not one that should be mixed wl'h politics. -,, , , Q—Q i i ■ I

Perhaps no one will better appreciate the army's demobilization plan than some of the overseas veterans of the las- war. For they can remember that many of the first men who got to Fiance were the last to return, that too often •he AEF veteran who had done some ot the hardest fighting came back to Anti most of the jobs already snapped up. These and many other inequities of World War I are corrected in the new plan. Its provisions promise fairness as well as vigorous posecution of the war against Japan.—Huntington Herald-Press. —O—Q mi The disastrous wreck on the C. w E. I. in North Terre llau'e Thursday morning which brought death to some thirty people, mostly veterans of the war. will no doubt be thoroughly investigated The explanation that a fog caused 'he fast passenger train to dash head on. into a mall train standing on the track does not seem sufficient. Two score or more were injured, several of them critically. A number of the soldiers were men who had ‘aken part in the war in Italy and were en route from Chicago to Miami, Fla. It was a deplorable and most regrettable accident. —o President Roosevelt will make an important speech on the evening of October sth, talking especially to the Democratic party workers and urging them to get out the vote.

He had made up bls mind to drew Dan up and give him a new start either here or in Weeton. where an eye could be kept on him. Since Miss Withers knew nothing of Dan's return, It was very likely that no one else did. It wm impossible to think of anything happening and escaping her notice. She had even seen old Mrs. Reynolds talking to a young girl who was staying at ths inn, so she had brought a present and arrived to get details. She had also seen Laura lose her temper, and he was sorry for that The Laura stamping her foot and hanging out of the room hadn't been the usual Laura he knew. It gave him something to think about in his cautious way. h So he was quiet as he and Laura left the house and turned down toward the Strand. They went into Jane Dorset's little Town Shoppe and Laura bought several things. Laura was always nice to Jane, perhaps because she respected the girts effleivney. Laura talked of her circulating library, and when Laura talked of what she was doIng she was enthusiastic, for she saw Jane was interested. Russell carried her package and uak her arm as they continued. He felt a sudden wave of emotion for Laura, an emotion built up of several parts, not least of which was that although they had been engaged for several years, she had never resented his delay. And they had •o many interests in common. He . looked forward to seeing her. to te Ing' with her. He was suddenly ashamed of himself and the way he had tied her up.
