O—O The extension of voting time was no doubt convenient to many workers and increased the total vote but it certainly did slow up returns and make the compilation more difficult. Hut what wasn't obtained early will come through and reports of the official vote published as soon as possible.

to conclude the war and build a happy, prosperous peace. Let's all hope they do it. O—O Election Over: This nation has told the world they are back of President Roosevelt in his great battle for human ity. He was reelected for his fourth term by a popular majority of more than two million and carried thirtyj five states with 398 electoral votes. In almost every state where the campaign was conducted on a "back the president" slogan, the Democrats were wuccesofa). The president will have the support of seni ate and congrtas and of the great majority of citizens. It fe the hope of every one. Including Mr Dewey, who congratulated the president soon after results were known, that the president s health will permit him to continue his great effort at top speed, that the war may soon end. permanent peace be restored and the nation on its way to the most prosperous era in all her history. Indiana voted for Dewey and elected <'apehart to senate, carrying along also the entire state ticket and nine of the eleven congressmen We believe Schrlcker and Jackson could have served with honor and distinction hut a majority of voters willed otherwise. The GOP will have full sway in the state the next two yeaiw at least. In Adams county Mr. Dewey rolled up an 1.844 plurality while Gillie. Capehart and Scbricker also had leads of from 200 to 500. In the upheaval the voters reelected Moses and Chrlstener as commissioners and Price as treasurer. It wa- a ept-’H cenic-t with Zwick winning by 1,735 and the others by pluralities varying down to 399 for Miss Nesswaid The people have i spoken and we all abide by the I verdict. It was a great war-time election I with a record-breaking total of approximately llfty-two million votes being cast and was decisive enough that no contests of serious consequences will follow. Now let's all get down to business and help to continue this the world's greatest

country. —o Now They Tell Us: Probably no man in American public life work more diligently or with greater earnestneM to get a hard job done well than doe* Henry .Morgenthau. Jr., secretary of the treasury. From personal experience we know that Mr. Morgenthan is thoroughly devoted to hi* job. The eagernexa with which he tackle* hl* work come* out of a genuinely patriotic heart. Os course he I* loyal to President Roosevelt. We wouldn’t have much respect for him If he were not loyal to his chief. We have not always agreed with the policies and many of the tax proposals which Secretary Morgenthau ha* submitted to the Congress. Always he has been a spokesman for the administration or fiscal affairs. Always he ha* carried the ball, and when he has been thrown for a los« he never once In all theae years has complained or cried on any body’s shoulder. Take this most recent discussion of Secretary Morgenthau and the Quebec conference. The truth is chat Secretary Hull did not go Quebec because of Illness. The truth alrto is that Secretary Morgenthau at no time proposed the socflled "Morgenthau plan for Germany." He look that on the chin a* has been his custom, without passing the buck where it belonged. We like him for being that kind of a man. but we don't like the abuse which has been heaped on him so unjustly. We think it was quite unfortunate that Governor Dewey accused Secretary Morgenlhan of prolonging the war needlessly at the coat of American live*. This rather far|euh«4 attack os pecreuury Mwgsgthaa eothwiled the frew Torii

CHAPTER TO.tTY-THREE "SO YOU wish to establish >an in New York out of pure gratitude 1* that right?" Russell demanded of Dr Raynor, Th* doctor laughed happily “You re right Tell Dan I want to help mm. HeU unleratand And I'm quite sure he U • sensible." Russell wasn't quite *ur* of anything as he drove back to Talbot after leaving Dr. Raynor in Baltimore. Th* doctor had surprised mm. And th* offer tor Dap had been brea'h taking. He believed the man meant it. and ne also knew now generous an offer it was. It meant a whole new life for Dan. He blinked at the thought of Dan in a bank, a broker's office, anything he wanted, as the man had said. And there was not much doubt the man could place him There was something awe-inspiring about the casual way he'd spoken of giving Dan a bank account and no question* asked. A.ud Dan was Anne’*- husband. Was it possible the doctor guessed such an incredible thing and was using this way to buy him off? No. that didn't make sens*. Was it possible he knew Russell was tn love with Anne and had begged her to marry him? In that case he would be killing two birds with one stone, not only binding Dan with ties of gratitude but himself as well. Could all the jovial laughter and good nature have been really part of a clever scheme ? If so. Dr. Raynor was a great actor as wen as a great surgeon. Russell got back to find Dan In th* kitchen preparing dinner for them. Dan was dressed in his rough shirt and old corduroys again. The shirt had been washed, but not Ironed, and was wrinkled if clean. Dan had done it himself. Hi* bare feet were thrust into slippers and he had a towel to mop his face because it was ’ot In the kitchen. Russell looked at him and again a wav* of emotion swept over him. He loved his brother Dan meant a lot to him. Whatever was done, it had to be for Dan. Dan turned and saw him and grinned. "Better stay out of here or you'll wilt. Go sit on th* porch till I call you I just got out of a cold tub a little white ago, but look at me now." "1 wanted to get a eook." Dan pushed hi-n out of th* kitchen. "I'm eook -nd bottle washer around her*. That's all th* good 1 can be anyway. You've got to eave your money so w* can gc traveling We’ll stop at cabins over night and I'll show you how to live cheap And don't look at me like 1 was something you wanted to. step over I washed the old shirt and It’s clean, anyway. I'm clean, too—clean broke and clean happy.” Russell put an arm about hte shoulders. "You're a swell kid." "Such language from a lawyer! How about Mrs. Reynold*?" "I cam* by th* boepllrt I sew Anne. biR just for a minute. Everyone’s hopeful." Daa laughed and looked down

Expect Roosevelt To Visit Paris Shortly To Meet Churchill And Josef Stalin London, Nov. 9. — (UP) — President Roosevelt probably will come to Europe within the next six weeks to meet Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Stalin and tackle at least five proving international political problems, diplomatic quarters said today. The president is expected to pay his first war time visit to England soon and at the same time accept Gen. Charles De Gaulle’s Invitation to Paris where the Allied "big three" will hold their first conference since Tehran a year ago was a matter of conjecture, however. The United States' reluctance to commit Itself on major European issues during the presidential campaign has delayed clarification of several particularly thorny problems. hut negotiations looking toward their solution now were likely to be accelerated. These problem*,, expected to be among the main topics to be discussed by Mr. Roosevelt. Churchill and Btalln. Include: 1— A united government for Poland. 2 A final agreement on control of post-war Germany. 2— Acceptance of France into the inner circle of the great powers. 4 — Agreement of the United States to the Kalkans alignment agreed upon hy Churchill and Stalin at their conference last month. s—Clarification of the Iranian oil concession disseiHion. — — o , Household Scrapbook i By ROBERTA LEE • ■- « Chickens In order to judge an old chicken from a young one. took at the skin of its feet.
