We were simply pulling for the home team, and in the elec tion Tuesday we will give you all the support we have.

R. REYNOLDS CHECK PRIZE CORN YIELDS That Produced by W. H. Lance Weighs Over 100 Bushels Per Acre The first prize corn checked in j the annual Henderson-Transyl vania corn growing contest was weighed at more than 100 bushels per acre in spite of an unfavor-J able growing season, G. D. White,! county farm agent, reported to day. The corn was checked at the farm of W. H. Lance, in the Mills River section. Mr. Lance's corn checked at 102 bushels and 40 pounds, while that of his grand- j son, Reid Lance, vocational stu-, dent at Mills River school, check ed at 113 bushels per acre. Mr. White reported that there were many ears of corn on the stalks, but that it lacked weight. He attributed this to an unfavor able growing season, the lack of rain during the growing period, and stormy weather during the summer, which flattened much of the corn to the ground. The Henderson county commit tee will go to Transylvania coun ty this afternoon to check yields there, and additional checking will be done here next week. i; RICE GROWER BALLOT WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.

DUCE SHOUTS DEMANDS FOR RESTORATION OF TERRITORIES NOW FRENCH POSSESSIONS I ROME, Nov. 5. (UP)—More, than 100,000 Italian war veterans packing Venice Square yesterday j ! responded to a rousing: speech by' Premier Benito Mussolini with shouted demands for restoration i of former Italian territories now j held by France. Mussolini, speaking from the balcony of his palace in observ ance of Italy's Armistice day, | warned the veterans against "ex i aggerated and premature optim i ism" and exhorted them to be ready at all times to defend the ! empire. "There are men who, defeated j 1 by the straight and truly peaceful policy of the (Rome-Berlin) axis, | still dream with open eyes of a1 Utopian and impossible revenge,", II Duce said. "For this, old fellow veterans, it still is necessary to sleep with ! our heads on our knapsacks as we j did in the trenches." For the first time in a gather-' ing of Italian war veterans. Mus-1 solini was interrupted frequently! by shouts of "Nice! Savoy! Tuni-1 sia!" Italy lost Savoy and the Nice area to France in 1860 when Vic-! tor Emmanuel of Sardina ruled, as the first king of modern Italy. France took control of Tunisia in North Africa in 1881 after it had been under British-French-Italian control for 12 years. Mussolini, in his warning of those who dream of an "impossi ble revenge," presumably referred: to such men as Winston Churchill, < Anthony Eden and Alfred Duff Cooper of Great Britain, who had criticized the British government for its course in negotiating with; the dictators. Mussolini told the war veterans that, 20 years after the Italo-Aus trian armistics, "victory has been consecrated by fascism and this coincides with a true peace which accords justice for alL" SURVEYSSHOW BIG SUPPORT THERE WANING Roosevelt's Speech Urges Against Republican or Communist Trend REPUBUCANS~MAKE PROSPERITY ISSUE NEW YORK, Nov. 5. (UP)—• The general election campaign to day entered the stretch with the New Deal making an aggressive fight to hold its own in the grout industrial states. Polls and surveys foretell closo contests in most states lying north of the Ohio and east of the Mis sippi rivers, in which the New Deal found much popular support to achieve its previous political triumphs. Republicans campaigned gener ally on a prosperity issue, while President Roosevelt countered with the assertion that under the New Deal the United States has enjoyed more stable and less arti ficial prosperity than any other nation of the world. F.R. URGES VOTERS MAINTAIN 'GAINS' HYDE PARK, Nov. 6. (UP) President Roosevelt's general election message, delivered from his home here last night, called upon the people for the continu ous liberal government by the New Deal and grouped Commun ists and old line Republicans alike among those with Fascist aims. He did not mention the Demo cratic party but warned that bath Fascism and Communism would thrive if liberalism failed. ' His speech wa* an appeal for internal and national unity in the face of dangers. He said, "We learned that democracy, weaken ed by internal dissension ard so cial injustice, was not a match for autocracies and called for a democracy of tolerance and unity at home." The president declared that "democracy in order to live must become a positive force in the daily lives of its people." "I am not talking mere ideal ism; I am pressing realistic neces sity," he said. "I reject the mere ly negative purposes proposed by old line Republicans and Commun ists alike—for they are people whose only purpose is to survive against any other Fascist threat than their own." Mr. Roosevelt called on the nu-» tion to preserve the advances of liberalism in next Tuesday's elec tions and .throughout his speech stressed the necessity for contin uing policies in national govern ment. Speaking from the library of his Hyde Park home, the chief ex ecutive reminded American citi zens of "terrorism and intoler ance" in other lands and warned that unless democracy "moves for ward as a living force" Fascism and Communism will grow in strength. "Old-line Tory Republi canism," he added, would aid "un consciously perhaps" such a trend away from democracy. In his first fireside chat in many months Mr. Roosevelt traced the record of his administration, fledged non-interference with pi i /at« enterprise provided abuses ire eliminated, and finally appeal ed for the election of Governor Herbert H. Lehman of New Yor1;.
