Evidently the buyers were satisfied with the election. It would seem wiser to depend on earnings than to guess on the results of an almost tie in the national political races. fr— 0<6 • ' Part of the failure of Democrats in Indiana to follow a strong national trend is perhaps partly due to loose organization in several of the districts. A reorganization to make ready for the next election should be studied in each district. 0 0 Radio, television and the three press services gave one of the poorest coverages of the election Tuesday night and Wednesday morning that we can remember. Certainly the people. wh<r indirectly pay for these services.

Way back, when the earth was abated, nature apparently decided that some vegetables and fruits would be green, some would be yellow and others would be of assorted colors. Nature also elected to have some fruits and vegetables grow above the ground and others below. Os oourse, we all know that they contain large amounts of vitamins and minerals. We also know why nature arranged to have some fruits and vegetables grow in one season and others in other seasons all ths year round. This was well before the days of refrigerators and freewrs and nature wanted a readily available supply to keep the earth’s population alive. Yet a great many of us ignore nature s carefully laid plans Ws

The 19th district of Pennsylvania went Democratic and elected James M. Quimby to congress over Walter Stauffer, Republican. The interesting feature of it is that it is the district which includes President Eisenhower’s farm and he had made a special plea there ten days before the election, asking for Stauffer's reelection, but the voters said “No”. The Democrat victories across the nation gave that party several nationally prominent leaders. Gov. Williams, Michigan: Gov. Lausche, Ohio and Gov. Harriman, New York * now join Sen. Kefauver, Tennessee: Sen. Humphrey. Minnesota: and ex-Gov. Stevenson of Illinois, in becoming men to watch when there is talk of a candidate for President in 1956. 0 0 Pete Reynolds.
