In Nex
On Tuesday, the millions of
Americans will go to the polls
to make their decision as to who
is to be head of their government
for the next four years. That may
prove to be, in the light of subsequent
events, one of the most
momentous decisions they, as a
free people, have ever been called
upon to make. In the midst of

all the history of the nations of

in a great, domestic political
campaign. And that campaign,
in additon to involving
internal policies, has evoked disj
cussion of international matters
I For President, the Democrats
present Franklin D. Roosevelt,
1 twice elected to the presidency of
I the -United States, and the
second man ever to run for that
office for a third term. Theodore
Roosevelt served seven years as
president. Three ware filling out
the unexpired term of President
McKinley, and four his own term.
President Taft served for four
years, and then Theodore Roosevelt
ran for a third term on the
Progressive Republican ticket,
opposing Taft and Woodrow Wilson.
He failed in his third term
asnirations, though fca probably
would have been elected, had he
had a united Republican Party
behind him.
In view of the international situation,
the Democratic Party
by its convention, asked Presi'
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt to
again head the party ticket. He
accepted the responsibility; and
Henry A. Wallabe, a dirt farmer
Secretary of Agriculture from Indiana,
was nominated for Vice
President.
, The Republican Convention
nominated Wendel L. Willkie, a
native of Indiana, War Veteran,
Lawyer, and President of Commonwealth
and Southern Corpor
ation, a power holding company,
who had never voted any other
ticket than Democratic. The
.choice for Vice President comes
from the far west. Senator
