Republican Gains
All Over Nation
Repubican gains in every broad
section of the land—except the solid
South—has fired the expectations of
party leaders for a successful 1940
presidential campaign and brought pre-
dictions of a substantial opposition to
New Deal measures id Congress.
Tuesday’s balloting added 11 Repub-
licans to the roster of the nation’s gov
ernors, increased*the party's member
ship in the House by at least 77 and
gave it at least eight additional votes
in the Senate.
But even these victories did not
completely measure the extent of the
j|«isibUcan advance. In several major
contests which the Republicans lost,
their parity displayed! much more
_ Against the;
offsets.
* Armistice Day
This is Armistice Day, and we should
all offer thanks to God for the privi-
leges we are enjoying, and make fur
ther plea that He spare us from the
ravages of strife that is apparent in
many countries not so free as the peo-
ples of the United States.
In these trying times, when nations
of Europe were bristling for strife, and
vhcre Spain is feeding its boys and
grown-ups to those war buzzards in
civil strife, while Hitler and others
are blowing off on every occasion, and
daring other nations to brush a stick
from their shoulders.
Here we are living in an atmosphere
of peace, while plenty may not be
with a majority of us, yet after all is
said, we can stand most any condi-
tion, even that nearing starvation, ra-
ther than have the ravages of war with
us, and have our young men he made
into cannon fodder.
Let’s offer thanks for this condition,
and pray that it may ever prevail that
we shall not again be engaged in
warfare. .
