It has done so not ms a party organ but from deep The Advance is a politically independent newspaper, but does not mean neutrality. Editorially this newspaper is always freo to support or oppose sany political candidate or any It is impossible within the limits a short editorial to do more depression, and the New Deal has restored prosperity.

As politics goes the claims of the New Dealers are according to Hoyle. The republicans have often voiced the same claims and won elections.on them. But the higher- ups In both parties know that the claims are mostly bunk. They deliberately take advantage of the ignorance and short memory of the average voter. Comparatively few voters, perhaps not five per cent, have ever read any but school histories of the United States.

The number who have ever read anything beyond high school world histories is much more limited. The great bulk the nation has endorsed him or his policies will be false. Metaphorically speaking, Solid South, in presidential tions, is the juror with mined and unshakable the elec- predeter opinions who often hangs the jury and lets the accused off with the spoils. TIMELY TOPICS At Omaha the president asked: "Do you want to turn it (the government) over to those who make of the people know practically nconststent, campaign devised nothing beyond the bare outlines of either American or foreign history, except that of their own period as given in newspapers and magazines. It follows that they aro not equipped to detect the fraud in many political claims.

The claim of the New that the current upturn Dealers is due solely to their policies suffers a serious blow when investigation reveals (1) that both America and the world have recovered in the same way from -previous depressions without benefit of any New Deal and (2) that from the late depression most of the rest of the world has recovered faster and farther than the United States has recovered. In order of extent of recovery this country stands not first but actually 14th among the principal countries of the world. Worldwide and nationwide depressions are a modern thing. Prior to the industrial revolution of the 18th century they were unknown. Since then every generation has seen at least one major depression, and there have been give a few main reasons many of nor degree.

There is to President Roosevelt. In this paper's opinion Mr. Roos- is not a man of stable mind cannot be trusted to do what says he will do. His record as na public man amply, indeed etartlingly, proves this thesis. As governor of New York, as for the presidency, Mr.

He deplored centralization of government at Washington, he denounced he defended state's he supported the supreme he even stated in explicit In a formal address which "was broadcast, that congress had Uio power under the constitution to interfere with the internal economy of the states, including specif- iicaily the regimentation of agriculture. In the campaign four years ago IMr. Roosevelt announced that he stood 100 per cent on the demo- platform. In speech after he bitterly scored extrava- governmental bureaucra- tism, and regimentation on the of the republican administrations of the preceding 12 years, par no good reason to believe that they will not at intervals occur again, They are a manifestation of human nature, and human nature does not change and cannot be harnessed.

There have been six major na- ionwide depressions in this coun- ry since George Washington be- president. Among historians nd economists they are known as he depressions of 1819, 1837, 1857 873, 1896, and 1932. There have ieen many minor depressions, anc wo of them, 1907 and 1920, are vithin the memory of many Amer- cans now living. Every major depression ered years. The late depression was perhaps worst of the lot, bu Americans who lived through others felt that nothing could worse.

Out of the speeches anc newspaper and magazine res ords of the time in every case yoi can pick paragraphs which with out changing a single word read a if they had been written in 1932. All of these earlier depression ran their course in due time, depression is like a fever: nothin stops a fever; inexorably it runs its crisis, and the patient eithe -ticularly Hoover's.

Register, evidently beeves that confident and frequent laims that Roosevelt's reelection "in-the bag" will sway a slze- ble bandwagon vote. Anyway he makes a point of such claims, and is so cocksure about It thai many easily influenced voters main object is to land on he winning side will probably fall or the bait. For goodness gracious, here omes a copy of state Secretary of griculture Ray Murray's cam- algn publication, Iowa Agrlcul- ure (at state expense), without a ord of politics in it. Mr. Murray must have had a drink or some- hing.

Anyway he says that wha aused the downfall of agriculture as (not republican rulo but) ex- essive post-war production, and forgets entirely to blame Hoov- and laud Roosevelt!

That's just one scores of such outgivings which i recent months newspapers have ceived from state and nationa sources. It is plain that they wer ordered by higher-ups and that the object was to arouse a sense of gratitude which would influence votes.

He has laid a burden public debt on the people's TjaekH which their children's grandchildren will still be paying off.

There were helpful policies under Hoov- 21- too; also some that did not click. Anyone else than either Hoover or Roosevelt, as president, have done what little could done.

The point of this discussion is we are now recovering from the depression of 1932 in exactly the same way that we recovered rom prior depressions when there was no New Deal, and there is no convincing reason to believe that the New Deal as such has in any great degree influenced the routine course of present recovery.

Hook and pluck, but strip 'en clean Nip and tuck, almost machine, As A MOVIE CRITIC, speaking politically, I would say the republicans have used deplorable strategy In their present campaign; and strategy, as I understand It, is one of the essentials in politics, republican or democratic. Take our friend Hoover. Four years ago Herbie was kicked out by one of the most decisive and overwhelming landslides In political history; completely and definitely repudiated. In the short subsequent interval the ex-president as certainly not strengthened his tand, nor improved his'position, jr he has been in retirement ever nee. But now Hoover comes out for Landon.

This doesn't seem smart, Americans didn't like Herbie's olltics four years ago, why should hey today? And because they anted a New Deal four years ago oesn't mean they want an Old ear- today. Alf Landon would ave strengthened his own posi- on If he had fought his own figfit without the help of Hoover. Another mistake the republicans lave made was letting that little em get into the dally newspapers hat the Du Fonts had contributed vast amount to the campaign und. Now, wo all know that ealthy easterners contribute to he campaign expenses of both arties, but the information that he Du Fonts (one of the really owerful financial families of the ountry) are back of the repub- can party won't help the G.

Good repub- icans had been handing Warburg's looks around in these parts all summer, and it must go hard to lave to swallow his apostasy. And all the more because Warburg ives two good reasons for his change in policy: the trade trea- and the recent monetary ar- Earth her choices in the Literary Digest poll and it up until you're old; other polls.

ATAN ON HORSEBACK all-color feature picture Is a convincing argument tor the use of "technicolor." Filmed by any other process, this semi- musical would emerge as a study in sepia a rather trying experiment which would produce only brownish and tan tints and give the effect of dullness and monotony. In sharp contrast to Ramona, another technicolor feature, it has no rich -sky and foliage tints, and it la therefore entirely lacking in what we might term "zest" of color. HE CASE OF the Velvet Claws was part of a double feature program, and as such was certainly worth the small admission price at the Junior.

It has another advantage In the fact that the mystery is partially solved at the very outset, which keeps spectators from becoming too Involved In the varied clues.

DORMITORY There is certain artistry aboul his little tale of a girls' school and what I think should have been the ragic first-love of a fair graduate supplying a happy ending the producers have sacrificed a certain charm, but it in no way takes away from the enjoyment of the picture.

He merely explains that with Hull's apparent desire to go after world again the good outweighs the iad. Every day the republicans are making mistakes, but the democrats, led by the cautious, intelligent Roosevelt, are strengthening their position. It now looks, in fact, as if all the inspired writings of Editor Dewel and the rest the Old Dealers will be in vain Roosevelt is not only a good pres ident, he's a good campaigner, am for one, like a good fighter. wool admirers (Call) Dyed-in-the of diminutivi Discord in Demodom.

The editors were not asked to give their own preferences.

What was wanted was their judgment on rfeecame president. He started out I how the election would turn out In their own states respectively. Liberty gave each state to Roosevelt or Landon according to the majority opinion of the editors in the etate. This- was of course only a rough way of arriving at electoral college figures, but it is not without value. The poll showed 2875 editors of the opinion that Roosevelt the Jeffersonian democrat he always been.

Applying the returns to the posi tion of the- states in the electoral college, Liberty counted 269 votes for Roosevelt; 146 for Landon; 116 in doubt.

On this basis all the doubtfuls can go to Landon, anc yet Roosevelt will be reelected. It takes 266 to elect. What strikes anyone who inspects electoral college votes is the great handicap which republicans have to overcome because the Solid South votes democratic undersell circumstances. Together Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia cast 124 votes. The Solid South does not vote convictions on national policies, hence it must be eliminated from consideration when results in elections are taken as a guide to national sentiment.

This is something often overlooked. It will be interesting to see how the election next Tuesday works out when this test is applied. If Mr. Roosevelt is reelected only with the aid of all or part of the Solid South, then any claim that of the party have dates for office are to receive a I Our truce.
