ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER | In the best of circumstances the conduct of a national election in wartime in accord with the spirit and THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. letter of the law and the standards of fair play is a | diffioult feat. Because of the extensive absentee | voting, contests are almost certain to arise in some | of the States. There is a real danger that these may cloud the results of the presidential election. That danger clearly justifies extraordinary precautions | against any sort of abuses or irregularities that may arise. | Apparently Mayor Kelly of Chicago has not vio- lated the soldier vote law causing Democratic campaign literature to be sent out to voters in uniform along with their applications for ballots, and | the same would apply in the case of Michigan author- |ities who are accused of sending out Republican | appeals along with ballot applicatigns. This Federal |law puts no restraint upon the mailing of political | propaganda to individual members of the armed forces |so long as the Government doesn’t sponsor or pay for it. But it is certainly contrary to the spirit of the |law to encumber a ballot application with partisan ‘]memture, Have the States no regulations to prevent sudh obvious perversion of the absentee voting ars privilege? The effect is to put the machinery of voting to work for partisan purposes, and that, of course, flagrantly interferes with a free choice of the people. | The States themselves should be expected to exer- | | cise special vigilance to see that this election machin- ery is not perverted to partisan advantage. They fought hard enough to keep full control of voting by service personnel in their own hands. They now have a grave obligation to the Nation as well as to their own people to make sure that this voting experiment is not debauched and that it does not give rise to confusion in the selection of national officials in this critical period.

A total of $10,500 is to be raised in this area to help the various agencies of the National War Fund to carry on through 1945. At this point we would like to answer one question that has been raised concerning the need for con- tributions. Some individuals in the community, feeling that the will be over soon, are reluctant to contribute as much this year as in the past. The error in such reasoning should be apparent, While the fight- ing in Europe may end before another 12 months have 'passed, the demands on the National War Fund will Washingfi Merry- Go-Round (Continued from Page One) war Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, Harri- longed to an organization which spn, Theodore Roosevelt and Taft|Dies disapproved.

Routine pro- grams that include recreation should be followed. HEART AND HOME: Girls should be cautious in accepting as iriends new acquaintances, especi- ally men, whom they meet under this configuration. Many hasty narriages of wartime will prove unfortunate as everyday living brings disillusionment. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Consumer buying will continue at a high ievel and again a big Christmas trade is forecast. Optimism regard- ing the future will be expressed in zenerous investments in home com- forts. NATIONAL ISSUES: States rights will be subject to many new interpretations as campaign orators appeal to voters. A political sensation is forescen. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Heavy naval and air engagements in the Far East are forecast for today. An aspect of Jupiter is for- tunate for India, which is to bene- fit through diplomatic concessions Gandhi will be helpful in certain United Nations’ aims. Persons whose birthdate it have the augury of a year of pro- motion and success. There should be persistent effort and untiring initiative.
