PARIS, November 8. (U.R)—Lt. Gen. George S. Patton’s
American Third Army made a new attack between Metz and
Nancy in eastern France today and advanced up to one
mile in the first few hours, capturing at least four villages
and crossing the Seille River.
The doughboys forced the Seille
at several places approximately I
13 miles south of Metz, and alrea-!
dy had outflanked that enemy
bastion from the south.
On the southwestern approaches
to Cologne a_ German counter at-
tack drove American First Army
troops out of the hainlet of Kom-
merschtidt, some 13 miles south-
east of Aachen, but the dough-
boys held firmly to high ground
500 yards away and edged closer
to Schmidt, a mile to the south-
east. -_____
Kommerscheidt was the third
town to be won and lost in the
period of a few days al the tip of
the deepest Allied salient in Ger-
many. ~

The election is over. Tl)e peo- |
pie have spoken. They have
chosen tour more years of
Roosevelt and the- New Deal.
Despite the misgivings of a
great many people as to what
may be expected from the
fourth term, the fact remains
that it faces us and we shall
have to put up with it as best
we can. The majority has spok-
en, and in the traditional Amer-
ican spicjt<~ ■ — — '■ -. '**•4;
of the majority. But that does ,
not mean that we should be
silent if further encroachments
are made upon state’s rights and
individual liberties. Nor does it
mean we should be blind , to
further extravagance and waste.
We believe Roosevelt was re-
turned to power for another
four years pretty largely be-
cause we are at war and there
was fear, whether or not well
grounded, that a change in the
presidency at this time would
’ Karnper the war effort. ~We do
not believe the v>o t e was an
endorsement of everything he
has done, parttcuittrly.on Uie
domestic front", or a green light
to go'"ahead with revolutionary
changes In tfae form of our gov-
ernment and our social relation-
shipa. We hope theae are mot
attempted in the iriidst of this

Many boxes failed to report on
voting in any races except the

Lyndon Johnson, democratic
candidate for re-election to con-

well by getting 2832 votes to 159
