ROOSEVELT WILLBE REELECTED
We do not mind risking any degree ofreputation we may have in the field of po-litical prophecy by stating our convictionthat President Roosevelt will be re-elected,and by a safe majority.
As we see it this is not so much for thereason that the people as a whole favor alithe policies and acts of the president, asit is for the reason that Roosevelt is a dy-namic president?and Americans like ac-tion. No president within our memory hasattacked a given problem with so muchvigor as has Mr. Roosevelt. In the slang ofthe people, he took off his coat when hewas inaugurated and went after it. Sincethat time there has been no let up in hisdrive toward recovery.
We would not attempt to say that mis-takes have not been made, or that thesemistakes have not been condemned by manypeople, but we do declare that in no casehas there been obstinacy in sticking to poli-'cies proven in error, and the occurrence oferrors has not been responsible for any let-up in the drive. Roosevelt started to workwith a will, and has kept up this work withseemingly tireless energy and tenacity?-and the net result, in spite of any partisanstatements to the contrary, has been a longstart toward recovery.
The American people love a fighter?anda winner. The President has proven that hecan put up a real fight, and by Novemberit will be plain that he is winning his fightagainst the depression, and we predict hewill win against Landon as well.

BALLOTS AND BOOS
The News and ObserverNews from the meeting of the Young!
Democrats in Greensboro: "The convention,was nearly riotous when, after the election Iof officers, Ralph Simmerson, young Mc-asking abolition of the absentee ballot. HisDonaldite of Rowan, proposed a resolutionreading of the resolution scarce could beheard above the roar, and he, too, wasshouted down. Mecklenburg County's cru-sade against absentees got no further than
the door of the resolutions committeeroom."
This may be the way politicians youngand also politicians old feel about the sen-timent for reform in the election laws ofNorth Carolina. But boos alone will notanswer the demand of thousands of NorthCarolinians that the election laws be im-proved as a basis for faith in the honest-ty of elections. Perhaps some of theseyoung politicians think there is no need ofchange in the election laws. If so, theywould have served their party and theirState by undertaking to make out a casefor the present perfection of the laws. Ifnot, then all the Young Democrats in theworld cannot bury those imperfections un-der boos.
Indeed, it seems just possible that thebooing in Greensboro was not the best evi-dence of the political wisdom of the Demo-cratic young. Somebody might say: We
asked for an honest ballot and all we got
was a big, blaring boo.If that's good politics, then it's a his-
torical wonder why Marie Antoinette's fa-mous remark about bread and cake didn't
bring the French Revolution to a prompt
close before it really got started.
Writing editorially about the attack of in-fantile paralysis in the family of PremierMussolini the editor of the Smithfield Her-ald Says:
I "Truly disease and death are no respec-Iters of persons. They strike the families ofI the lowlies tand of the mightiest."

Weekly SportREVIEW(Murray M. Klein)
One of the most effective butleast publicized pitchers of theAmerican League is Irving Hadley,of the New Yorkers. Received fromWashington, in the deal' that seni
Johnny Deshong and Jesse Hill tothe Senators. Hadley was only a
minor point in the trade reckon-ing. The man whom the Yanks wereanxious to get was Bob Johnson.To date Johnson has seen service inabout 15 games. On the other handBump Hadley has compiled theneatest hurling average in both lea-gues, won 8 and lost 1.
Joe McCarthy thought that hawould use Bump as a relief hurler,he couldn't see Irv as thepitcher in the league. Bump haswon H straight games for the long-est skein in the loop.
Another revelation this year is thesuperb relief hurling of Pat Ma-lone. Last year Pat was as wild asa hawk and lost countless games forthe Yanks as a result of his er-ratic pitching. Marse McCartay,who was Pat's manager when bot'.iwer econnected with th eCub's hadfaith in Malone's ability and con-tinued to use him in relief roles.The results have far exceeded hisfondest hopes. Pat has a neataverage of nine won and two lost.
It is due in a large measure tothe twirling of these two that theYanks are at the top of the league.
Freddie Steele, coast battler, de-feated Babe Risko in a 15 roundbout to capture the middleweightcrown. The Babe put up a gamefight but he was no match for thehard hitting Cqjifornian. This v-asthe second time that Steele beatRisko.
