PREPARING FOR WINTER
Rising early this morning!
to breathe the crisp air which
came in through the windows j
we realized that October is;
half gone and that winter is
just around the corner. To
most of us changing seasons
are greeted enthusiastically.
To some of us it means a long
period of hardships with
freezing cold and a battle with
illness.
Borger has experienced but
two winters and this year we
are better equipped than ever
before to care for that portion
of our population upon whom
winter is a heavy burden. Our
homes are more substantial
now. Practically all of our
peopl have steady .jobs and
conditions are better here
than they have ever been.
In small cities, not privileg-
ed to use natural gas. men and
women are ordering coal in
preparation for the long even-
ings ahead. Basements are be-
ing tilled and the openings be-
neath the doors are being
closed to shut out the wind
and snow. We do not have
their problem to face, but we
have others which are .just as
essential.
Among us are families, most
of us can point to a concrete
example, which will not have
enough clothing to ward off
the lowering temperatures.
We know of Children who
may not be able to attend
.school because their fathers
and mothers cannot afford to
provide sufficient clothing.
There are families in Borger
living in shacks and a few in
tents. Some of these places
have large cracks in the rough
board walls exposing occu-
pants to the elements. Mat-
resses are thrown on the floor
in some instances and the cov-
ering over the beds is too thin
to adequately protect occu-
pants in cold weather.
Not long ago something pe-
culiarly pathetic came to th>'
attention oi' citizens of Borger
which made us realize a weak-
ness in our existing system of
caring for the unfortunates
among lis. There was a wo-
man within the city limits wli .
died from pellegra. a disease
which comes from starvation.
When this woman was buried
in Highland cemetery, re-
marks like this were heard.
"It's too bad.' The remark
is true in its expression of,
feeling and there likely is nof
a man or woman in Borger
who is financially capable of
earing for that woman, who
would not gladly have pre-
vented the tragedy. Most of us
did not know and too few of
us are taking the trouble to
lind out the conditions which
exist around us.
Before winter grips the
Panhandle, would it not be a
noble idea for us to provide a
way to care for our unfortu-
nate population? We should
have a clearing house super-
vised by a worthy man or wo-
man who could be depended
on to take charge of this work
for lis. Enough funds are ob-
tainable to prevent sickness
and death in families where
cold and hunger will prevail.
What we need, it seems, is to
recognize the need of an or-
ganization and to provide for
what now seems inevitable be-
fore Borger enters her third
winter.

WASHINGTON. Probably no
j other campaign has ever seen.
| seen such a clearly defined contest j
j between the rural vote and tlicj
| city vote as in 192S.
Across the country, again and
j again, the question of greatest iro-j
portanee is found 10 be whether |
; Smith's heavy urban vote will be
j offset by the heavy Hoover vote
j out in the state.
j This is a question of enormous
importance because it figures es-
pecially in the largest states; that
; is, those with the biggest elec-
toral votes.
In New York, it's it question
; whether the large majority of
which Smith is certain in New
York City will be beaten down by
.the probable large majority which
Hoover will have in the rest of the
governor's- own state. Smith (.an-'
net win, it is generally agre.-d.
without New York's -lf> electoral
; votes.

In New Jersey again. Smith is
i rpected to have a large city 111:1-
ifiiy, but the Republicans are
; confident that the rest of New
Jersey will turn him down.
Smith is again likely to carry
Boston and most of the manufac-
turing cities of Massachusetts, but
•again Massachusetts is a very
doubtful sate because of the otit-
' side \ ote.
Cleveland and Chicago are likely
1 10 go for Smith, but it may be i.
j different story as regards Ohio an
| Illinois.
This same parallel can be fol
lowed oiii as far as San Kranei-
! co, which may go for Smith in
tile fate of an enormous Hoover
majority in California. It applies to
| Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Si. Louis
; In Missouri, Baltimore in .Mary-
land, Wilmington in Delaware and
so on.
Ii is quite conceivable lhal
Smith may carry six of lie large,i
i eitieiT in the country. His chances
are at least fair in New York, ('In
(ago, Cleveland. Si Louis. I'.alti-
nion and Boston. Among the ne\<
; ten cities lie Is liltelj to capture

also often appeals to them.
It is obviously necessary to qual-
j Ify this picture of tlie urban vs
rural set-up by admitting Important
sectional distinction!:, especially as
regards the more sparsely populated
districts. Politically speaking, there
are three separate situations In the
rural east, the rural south and the
| rural west.
The rural east is normally Reptile

jthe 1928 campaign than lny the eual.
The state election result in Maine
and Vermont have larger proportion-
al rural votes than any other eastern,
states and they are the two eastern
states which are sure bets for Hoov-
er.
The agrciulttiral west also may
be called normally Republican, de-
• pite its ticket-splitting tendencies
and the fact that some of its states
are willing to elect a progressive
Democrat for governor or senator in
preference to a conservative Repub-
lican This year the attitude of farm-
ers in the middle west and northwest
is a source of concern to the Republi-
cans and a source of hope 10 the Dem-
ocrats.
The possibility • that some of the
farm states will go for Smith is due
to the fact that, hey are likely to al-
low dissatisfaction with the Republi-
can administration's farm record to
outweigh other considerations such
as the tariff, prohibition and reli-
gion.
The rural south offers another
threat of revolt. Being normally
Democratic, Protestant and dr. it lias
been the main battleground in the
efforts of the Anti-tSaloon League
and tho Ku Ivlu.x Klau to defeat
Smith. The greatest danger of defect-
ion appears to lie in the border
states, including North Carolina. Ok-
lahoma. Tennessee and Kentucky.
It is very important for Smith to
get an adequate share of the, votes
in both rural west and rural south.
