Politics in Key States—

But Farm Resentment Gives Dewey a Chance To Win. By C. W. BAILEY Kentucky Post Political Writer FRANKFORT, Ry, Oct. 16— With the election only three weeks away, President Roosevelt is given 8 slight edge in Kentucky over Governor Dewey by most political observers, but the G. O. P. has a chance to win. i Republicans have grown in con-| fidence in recent weeks, because they have control of the state ma‘ehine and because they are well supplied with money. The Republicans unexpectedly 0 won the state election in 1943 when Democrats boycotted the polls. If the Democrats fail to get out a large vote this year, the G. O. P.| may do it again,

Farmers Resentful

President Roosevelt is strong in the state's industrial centers, but there is considerable - deflection ong the farmers, due largely to entment over OPA restrictions. The agricultural districts have always furnished the backbone of the Democratic party's strength | here. Yet it is in this area that! prosperous farmers now are threat- | ening either to vote for Governor Dewey or stay home on election day. | Democrats are counting strongly on the absentee votes of service men to make up the lag in other places.

Barkley's Chances The fortunes of Senator Alben W. | Barkley, Paducah, majority leader of the senate, are tied in with those of President Roosevelt, yet it is conceded that Senator Barkley will outrun Mr. Roosevelt this year, The senator is opposed” by James Park, Lexington, commonwealth’'s attorney, and a strong campaigner, Despite the opposition of John 1. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, to Mr. Roosevelt, re- | ports from the mining sections indicate the President is a big favorite with the rank and file of the miners, The extent of farmers’ defection from Roosevelt apparently holds the key to the situation, A widespread defection could put the state into the Dewey column, but it would have to be wide. Other-| wise the state should be counted in!

other, and they fought side by side through bloody battles, lies buried on Tarawa. 5

Anderson. Buried on Coral

atoll is 2d Lt. John E. Anderson. -

They are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Carl A. Anderson, 50 N. 17th st., Beech Grove. Long, lean, hard and brown, Sgt. Anderson, known ‘as

“Whitey,” appears restless in the

quiet and calm of inland America. “But, boy, it's wonderful,” he said. “I wouldn't swap it for anything in the world.”

SGT. buddy brother were teamed when the leathernecks hit Guadalcanal. Then they were séparated and did not see one another until they hit the deck together on the invasion jof Tarawa. “Johnny went over the side at 8 a. lh. I never saw. him alive again,” Sgt. Anderson said. But in a letter to Johnny's wife, Mrs. Helen Anderson, 1469 S. Meridian st., his brother said: “Johnny did not die in vain. He died for a cause . . . for a land so great, free and strong that many more brave men just like him have died and many more are willing to die for it. Surely God cannot look down upon a man who died for a country like that.” The letter was printed in The Times. s 8 =

AFTER TARAWA, Sgt. Anderson, an engineer, went through the campaigns of Saipan and Tinian, helping to blast the Japs from their strongholds. “I don’t want anyone to get the idea I'm a hero because I'm not,” he said. “You know, there are an awful lot of fellows en-

“AND THE people here at home can get over the idea that the fellows out fighting are going to come home all tough and bloodthirsty,” he said. - “All they are doing is a job, one they don't like to do. And the more they see of Jap brutality and fanaticism, the more they become what we call good red-blooded American boys. “All we want is happiness and happiness and nothing but happiness, 4 8 a “THERE'S ONE thing I'd like to get straight for myself and all the fellows who come back.
