PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS FRIDAY. OCTOBER 30, 1936 Comment And. at What Odds! Upton Sinclair recently outlined a plan to the New Republic which he believes will be successful in swinging the national election. He and his wife were the originators of the plan and they intend to try it. He says, "It has been our intention to vote for Roosevelt. We have two relatives in New York who intend to vote for Norman Thomas, and we are going to suggest to them they should swap votes, they voting for Roosevelt in New York, and we voting for Thomas in California. Roosevelt will not need our votes in California, and Roosevelt needs all the votes he can get in New York. If your readers would take up this idea and make arrangements with friends in other states, it might be possible to swing those doubtful states to Roosevelt." In the first place, it seems doubtful that an individual strong for his own candidate, would be quite willing to go to the poles and vote for his candidate's opponent. And why should he? If he is for Norman Thomas, it is absurd to think that he will go out of his way to get Roosevelt elected. As a citizen of the United States, every person has the right to make up his mind for whom he wishes to vote. And on November 3 vote for him because he is sincere in his decision, not because of any favors which may be brought to bear. It does not seem quite consistent that Upton Sinclair, the man who has spent his life crusading for complete fairness to every citizen, rich or poor, educated or illiterate, should be suggest such a plan. With column upon column of news concerning Europe's war and war clouds, it is quite a relief to find such light, yet important, material as King Edward's romance interspersed among the accounts of the day's happenings. A King's Romance Now it appears that Mrs. Simpson has a detective to aid in keeping her movements around London concealed while the King entertained friends at a shoot. It also is interesting to learn that His Majesty soon will be able to attire in gaily colored clothes and plus fours because of the end of the 9-month mourning period following his father's death. More interesting yet to those who are inclined to be sporting is that the King may enter a horse in next year's Grand National. How staid old England must be quaking with all of the reports and rumor of a King's romance! And what a rest it must be for the residents of that country, too, to gossip about their monarch instead of worrying about the trend of the next parliamentary election or the ramifications of Belgium's bold neutrality stand! Courtesv and the Election As the presidential election draws nearer, party politicians figuratively roll up their sleeves, tighten their belts, and plunge frantically and belligerently into the fray. All rules of diplomatic etiquette are discarded, and discretion is joyfully put in the dump heap. Though it was probably a slip-up, a prize example of non-chalance was exhibited in sending to the Republican National Committee in sending to the President's wife an invitation to subscribe to that organization's campaign fund. Mrs. Roosevelt comments on the incident in her daily syndicate, showing a lack of bitterness and an optimism over the fate of the na- oom; no matter what the outcome of the election, which is rather remarkable for one in her position. After the election (and providing the country doesn't go to pot) some of the haramuers on what turns out to be the wrong side of the fence would probably be able to retire much more gracefully if they had followed Mrs. Roosevelt's example. Would that politicians might show a little of the pessimism, a little of the propriety seemingly peculiar only to football coaches in predicting the outcome of a contest. A slight hint of modesty, a tiny inclination toward decorum on either side might at this time possibly win a few votes from citizen mentally fatigued by the brazen utterances an the spiteful hymns of hate and ruination wit which the country is being deluged. 6.000 Years Hence Thornwell Jacobs, president of Oglethorpe University, has proposed that a complete record of our daily life be preserved to satisfy the curiosity of investigators 6,000 years from now. To accomplish his goal, Mr. Jacobs suggests stainless steel chambers be filled with documents, gadgets and anything else representative of living in the current age. Perhaps there will be a daily round trip to the moon. Perhaps, as Dr. Rexford Tugwell believes, this area will be the great American desert. Perhaps there will be a 2-hour day for working people. Perhaps food will be taken in a small capsule. Perhaps there will be another great glacier. Or perhaps college professors will have realized the futility of examinations. Six thousand years! That time is beyond the most fantastic stretch of imagination. Look back on what has transpired in 1,936 years and one can not begin to conceive what will be taking place so far in the future. Citizens, of the future thousands of years will look back on this generation as a bunch of pikers. We haven't seen anything yet.

Say any rate, it is a curious tale. By ARNOLD TURNER, c'uncl When Gertrude was small, one was any other child, cherishing a biblical in Halloween ghosts and goldin and devouring stories of these wicked creatures. Her mother oftened herd for telling ploymouth that she had seen spokes but she adamantly told that she really had waited for the creeping, crawling, and飞翔 about in the night. Gertrude's favorite tale was one about having seen a witch. The child described her as an ugly, stopped old woman with long straight gray hair, and a toothbrush grin. She simply insisted that the would know the bad bag no matter where or when she took it. Of course, children have very great imagination, and no one paid much attention to her. The queer part about it was that after Gertrude grew up and came to the University she still clung to her fantasies. You must remember that she came in the early nineteen when young ladies were easily frightened and very superstitious. After a few of her stories, her room mates were afraid to blow out the lamp or go to bed on Halloween for fear that fear of Gertiee's ghosts would grab them. By the time she was a senior, no one would listen to her fantastic stories. It was about this time in her impressionable young life that she first read Burns' memoir, *The Forgotten*. It gave careful discussion for discovering whether a girl would get a husband and a wife. Official Student Paper of THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE, KANSAS University Daily Kansan PUBLISHER ...

Her boy friends go few, far, and between. The poem seemed to be a solution to this difficulty. It directed the girl to place two christmas in the fire, and name one for the man of her choice.
