It is interesting to watch anything
grow. It is thrilling to watch
it if the object happens to be a j
rather lean bank account- That has
been our experience this week and
we are duly excited. Though the
reports are not all in, we have
reason to believe that this campaign
will prove the most successful
since the depression.

still has been the kindly cooperation
manifested by the contributors
as well as those friends who gave
their time and services in behalf ci
the library during the week.
We want to make the coming
year our best year. We shall need
your suggestions and cooperation
in making it so. Now that we have
been able to install an oil heater,
our greatest need for the coming
wintar, I feel that our next purchases
should include those books
needed as tools for students, old
and young We need a new Imperial
Dictionary. Science is not at a
standstill, new words are necessary
to give names to new discovery.
We need, too, more books about
science adapted to the needs of
young readers, and many other
books. We are asked frequently for
books giving programs for all occasions
for books of toasts, for books
on agriculture etc. If you can recommend
something good on any
of these-subjects we will appreciate
your suggestionsMore
Thanks

The next proposed amendment,

Jeneral Assembly to divide proprty
for taxation into different
lasses with a uniform rate on each
lass instead of a uniform rate on
.ill classes. For example, if this

for four emergency purposes,

an approving vote of the people,

which its outstanding debt was reduced
during the preceding biennium.
Last but no less important is the

Fhe court is now greatly overworked.
Increased litigation due to our

Justifies this proposed increase in

to the polls. That the popular vote'J
will run closer to 50,000,000 than
40,000,000 this year is the expecta
tion of all the best informed politi
cal observers.
All of the political signs point not
only to a heavy vote, but to a much
closer division of the vote between i
the major parties than at any time
within the past 20 years- 'xliat is
one of the reasons why it is so difficult
to forecast the outcome with
confidence- At this stage in almost
every previous presidential campaign,
the experienced political i
forecasters have been able to say.
with great certainty which party :
would win. There have, as a matter

SERVING THE PUI
PRESCRIPTIONS CALLED
: WARREN RECORD
Ills campaign for reelection In 1864- j
[n 1876 the presidential contest was <
so close that the election was
thrown Into the House of Represen- <
tatives to determine between Mr. (
rilden and General Hayes. In 1884 J
It was also an extremely close
thing, Mr. Cleveland carrying the
State of New York by less than
1,000 plurality.
There was no other really close (
elections until 1916, when Charles (
E. Hughes, now Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, went to bed on ]
election night satisfied that he had <
been elected President over Mr- ]
Wilson, it was two days later before
the belated returns from Cali- j
fornia gave that state to Mr. Wilson
and reelected him President. j
There has not been a single close
election, since 1916. All the rest of 1
;hem have been in the nature of 1
landslides- Popular sentiment has 1
Deen so preponderantly upon one <
side or the other that it took no
particular skill for impartial observ- <
:rs to foretell by the middle of Oc- 1
tober which party would win. Mr.
Harding's election in 1920, Mr. <
Soolidge's in 1924, Mr- Hoover's in
1928 and Mr. Rosevelt's in 1932 <
were foregone conclusions almost j
[rom the beginning of those respective
campaigns. <
This year such doubts as there are :
arise from two factors which have ,
not been present in previous presidential
campaigns and for which J
there is no experience to serve as a ,
guide in trying to estimate their
weight. All of the nation-wide 1
polls upon which the public and
the politicians have been accustomed
to rely since 1920 point in
one direction only. That direction
Is toward Gov- Landon, who has a ,
comfortable margin in these "straw ,
votes " Likewise, in the matter of ,
newspaper support, not more than
a small handful of influential news- 1
papers outside of the South are
supporting Mr. Roosevelt.
But when it comes to predicting ,
the election outcome those who ap- \
proach the question with the most <
open minds, hesitate because of two
factors whose value it is impossible ,
to determine. i
Relief and Labor Vote
Those two factors are the relief
vote and the labor vote- The gen- j
eral assumption is that the relief ;
vote will go preponderantly for the
KO-nlnnfinn nf Mr DnnonVDlf ThorP
L t-tlLVl/iUli U1 1VJ.1 IVWkJV/IVtV *i*v*w
is no way of determining what :
proportion of the beneficiaries of 1
the Administration's relief meas- 1
ures have been in the habit of vot- '
ing the Democratic ticket anyway.
Much the same situation exists in "
regard to the labor vote. Organized '
labor and the families of members
of labor unions may account for a
possible total of 5,000,000 presidential
votes- But, again, the question
arises as to what proportion of
these 5,000,000 has been in the habit
of voting the Democratic ticket in
previous elections- Nobody knowsWhile
it is the general belief
that a higher proportion of the organized
workers in trade and industry,
and a higher proportion of
those who occupy the lower economic
strata, will vote for Mr.:
Roosevelt this year than have voted
for the Democratic candidates tn:
previous years, there is no way of j
finding out what percentage of the |
relief vote and the labor vote will ^
