e ‘ a }. OOSE methods of handling election re- turns have given rise to ugly rumors among contending candidates for state and county office. Two major errors in the count for the votes for governor have arisen in King county. Each completely changed the in- dicated outcome and altered the respec- tive totals of the candidates by several thousand votes. No doubt many other errors have oc- curred thruout the state. The official count, if error can be kept out of it, may yet reverse the present standing of the leading contenders, tho Hartley's nomina- tion seems assured. Something is radically wrong with our election machinery. Unauthorized pri- vate parties have access to the poll books before they are counted by the authorized officials. In spite of voting machines and an expensive staff, the outcome has been subjected to inexcusable delay. - Let’s Stop These Ugly Election Rumors Most election officials are honest and The Star, in this case, has no reason to think there has been manipulation. It is satisfied, however, that there has been inefficient management of the count. Let’s perfect our election machinery in such a way that there can be no cause for either charge.

For the Everybody in the world knows Americ in men and money. Americans always h sprung to the defense of their country In wartime, and they always will. It is not claimed that Defense Test day will teach us the science of war. That isn't learned in a day. Wo—the mass of the people—will be just as uninformed about the science of war after the day as we are now. Finally, the next war in which America engages—heaven postpone the day indefinitely!—will see every man, woman and child drafted; every dollar drafted; everything drafted. Uncle Sam will say to the young man: “Fight!
