Every citizen may tro peacefully to the polling place, vote his or her convictions, and have that vote counted on an equality with that of any other citizen. Wo are accustomed to this. So accustomed are we, in fact, that some may be tempted to ignore the precious privilege. Let them think a moment of the heritage they cast away: It was 151 years ago that Americans first gathered under un-der the same Constitution they have today to choose the first President under our present system of government. Today it is one of the oldest continuous governments on earth. Within its years France, for instance, has run the gamut from absolutism abso-lutism down into violent Communistic revolution, through republicanism, and into a yet amorphous totalitarianism. In that first election, only a comparatively few men were able to vote. Extension of the suffrage to all men, then to women, has come as the result of long agitation and struggle. strug-gle. We have broadened our democracy decade by decade since that early first election of 17S'.. That struggling new nation, shakily recovering from seven long years of devastating war, striking out boldly toward to-ward new institutions of freedom, has today become a vast nation of 130,000,000 people, occupying the most fruitful part of a whole continent, whose power and influence are great 'n the world. But all that power and strength are builded on the same foundation on which they wrought who voted for the electors who chose Washington in 1780 the ballot. The sweat and the blood of the forefathers won that precious right. The blood and sweat of eight generations preserved it. It is not to be lightly cast aside. Go to the rolls on Nov. 7t and vote. Vote our way if you can, the other way if you must, but vote. To see the vote this fall sweep Iriiiniph.rmtly above the o. 000,000 mark for a new all-time record will be a thundering thunder-ing testimony to all the world that democracy is still vital and strong and unafraid. Then, our choice made, let us go forward a united people, toward our democratic goal, our destiny as a free people!

Mid - West Sentiment Shifts Toward Wendell Willkie This is the second of three see- tioiril pre-election ronndus. The third column will cover the east. I5V IilJl'CK CATTON Daily Herald Washington Cornsxndent WASHINGTON. Nov. 3 The most significant fact in the entire en-tire presidential campaign ' may eventually prove to Ik the shift in sentiment noted in the great middle western ion during the pa.st. month. Around the first of October, Democratic lenders were rubbing th' ir hands and lalkctsr confidently confi-dently of "another ir,'if." The middle west was looked on as s-ure, with a few minor exception.". Kveryl.hmg- m .si.ht wis bein.e; claimed for President Roosevelt, and Republican leaders privately weren't inclined to do too much arguing about it. Then s.tmethinK began to hap-non. hap-non. Willkie's vigorous, untiring i campaign began to have an effect. The powerful anti-war sentiment of the. entire interior of the Country began to assert itself. Today, even strong Democratic partisans admit the middle west as a whole is a toss-up. Indiana An Even IJeT Most hotly contested ground is the central region, running from the Alleghenies to the far side of the Mississippi. Ohio i.s believed to lean toward Willkie. Roosevelt will run well in the Cleveland-Youngstown- Akron Ak-ron industrial areas. Elsewhere, Willkie is immensely strong. The Republicans have the advantage of a strong local ticket, with popular Governor Bricker running for re-election against the gener- ally discredited ox-Governor D- vey and with Mayor liuiatui or Cleveland practically conceded election to the Senate. Indiana is considered about a 50-50 bet. Paul McNutt is fight ing hard for the Roosevelt ticket The senatorial fight, in which Senator .Sherman Minton is opposed op-posed by Raymond K. Willis, will probably go the way the presidential presi-dential fight goes. The "war issue" is-sue" is helping Willkie greatly. No one i.s making any very confidential con-fidential predictions either way about Michigan. Rnosevelt still has the workers in the great industrial in-dustrial region around Detroit an,) Flint, and John L. Lewis's attack is not expected to pull many votes away from him. Gov. Lurou Dickinson Dick-inson is no tower of strength to the Republican slate ticket. The rural areas are heavily Republican. Re-publican. Ya.r Issue Swings Votes Illinois likewise Ls on a knife-edge. knife-edge. The Kelly-Nash machine is counted on to pile up a big Roosevelt Roose-velt vote in Chicago, of course; but the state has upward of 750,000 citizens of German descent des-cent and 250,000 more cf Italian Ital-ian ancestry, who are expected to go strongly for Willkie. Illinois' immense farm area is regarded as heavily Republican. Wisconsin could easily uo Republican. Re-publican. Many Democrats are sore over Secretary Wallace's endorsement en-dorsement of Senator LaFollette. State Republicans are united end believe they will not only get Wisconsin's Wis-consin's presidential vote but will also unseat La Follette. Minnesota from this distance seems likely to go Republican. Towa shows few signs of following follow-ing native-son Wallace ard may follow Minnesota. Kansas is considered con-sidered sure for Willkie, fuid unless un-less Senator Norris's stumping turns the tide Nebraska will go the same way.

And I thought what a contrast there is between the present era and the Ape cf Per icies. that 50 year period, 450 B. C. unmatched in all the history of the world, when Greece pro dueed her amazing number of re- nouned. statesmen, philosophers poets, architects, sculptors who have continued to enrich the cul tural world from that distant time to our own. I thought cf the irony in the name ci trie fctoned cny as re called the myth the story of the contest between Neptune, the god of the sea, and Minerva (Athena), the goddess of wisdom, for the honor of naming the city. Their feat was to see who could produce pro-duce .something most serviceable to man. Neptune produced a horse; Athene the olive tree. Arid the honor was given to her, to bestow be-stow her name up on tne city because the olis-e tree was the symbol of peace, wisdom produces peace. I thought of the days of Athena when the marble temples rose in glory on the Acropolis, the temple of Athene Nike, the Drochtheum (temple to the guardian deities of the city) with its only partially ruined Porch of the Maidens still there, the Parthenon, (temple of Athena), that temple, the most perfect example ot Greek architecture archi-tecture and decorated with statuary statu-ary by the most famous Greek sculptor, Phideas, who worked the same exacting skill on the unseen un-seen parts of tne great figures which as on the liont, was a tribute to the producer of the olive tree. I wondered what the masters who created all that beauty, and the poets who used to vie for the laurel wreath in the theater of Dionysus, cut in the semi-circle of the south-east slope ot the Acropolis, would think of our chaotic world today. The Greeks loved order, symmetry, moderation elements lost to mod ern life. In that day the Greek meaier was planned lor religious and intellectual training, rather than for amusement, and artists philosophers, writers thronged to Athens from all over Greece, for nowhere else was there such free dom of thought and such appre ciauon oi artistic work.

She could not speak. But he had administered adminis-tered a narcotic and had held out hope that when she awakened from the sleep induced by the drug she might be herself again. People afflicted with psychic dumbness or blindness became so, lie explained, because they had heard or seen sights so terrible that their nervous systems refused to recognize them and relate them. In Nella's case, a nervous Inheritance Inheri-tance from an insane grandmother, made her a ready victim. The question in all minds, including Captain Plowman's, was: What would Nella relate -when she did return to normal? "What can Nella have seen?" Marta asked Sidney when they were alone together in the library, later in the day. "Can the be protecting pro-tecting someone?" "God knows," Sidney replied. "To guess is to accuse, end I am not prepared to do that. -Neither, I believe, is Plowman," "Aren't there drugs that may be used to free her?" "Yes, but they are hot always successful and cannot be employed without the consent of relatives. I imagine Hugh, as the nearest relative, might not wish them tried.- Abruptly Sidney switched the subject. "Barkes said he saw a shadow against your curtain at 6 o'clock last night, Marta. Have you en idea who made it?" A QUICK flush burned Marta's face. She turned from him, end stared out the w-Lndow at the dripping trees, green now from their Ions drenching.

"The pain was dreadful and impossible to bear without the aid of morphine. "In Capetown they operated and he recovered, but soon his nerves began to trick him. He would wake up at night covered with cold sweat and imagine the tiger was tearing at him. He had never before known the meaning of fear. He knew it then, and it became unbearable."
