C., Feb. 7.— (NWNS)—From now on there is little doubt that the presidential' election of next November will overshadow all legislation in con gress, will widen the breach be tween the administration and congress, and may interfere with the efficiency of the operation of our war machine. For the Republicans in congress have made it clear that they ex pect President Roosevelt to run for a fourth term and are not going to do anything they don’t have to to aid him - in getting votes. This does not mean, how ever, that they will not support measures necessary for speeding the winning of the war. They haye conscientously put politics aside when these measures arise and will continue to do so. But there will be many a fight over measures of a domestic nature which can be interpreted as hav ing a political significance. The political fight really came into the open during debate over the problem of the soldier’s vote. The President charged that the measure supported by the Repub licans was “a fraud on the sol diers, sailors and marines” and the Republicans said that ^he President was trying to take ad vantage of his position as com mander in chief to assure votes for himself from members of the armed forces. The soldier vote problem is ac tually much more of a compli cated one than it may appear to be on the surface. The majority of Republicans prefer to let each state determine how the soldier vote will be handled, as provided by the Constitution, while the Democrats want legislation per mitting soldiers to vote for fed eral candidates regardless of state laws. Either method would require revision of state tows in many states to have the soldier vote count. Even the admini stration plan, although it would make it possible for more soldiers to vote, would involve serious questions as to which votes should be counted and which ones, because of state laws, might be thrown out. No matter what is finally done about the soldier vote, it is prob able that the 1944 election will be one of the most complicated in history. If the election is close enough so that the soldier vote might be a determining factor in deciding who has been elected, there will undoubtedly be many demands for recounts and many questions as to the legality of the votes cast by soldiers. Debate over this measure was obviously just the beginning of the political squabbles which will increase in intensity as the elec tion approaches. In addition to the effect which the coming election will have on legislation, it is also apt to, cause consider able slowing up in the activities of congress. For the large num ber of senators and congressmen who are planning to run for re- election in November will spend a lot of their time planning their campaigns and studying the po litical situation as it exists in their states today. It is to be hoped that most of the necessary legislation affecting the progress of the war will be passed before summer, for from June on the election will be the paramount concern of Washing ton. In June the Republicans will hold their convention to * decide Mrs. J. T. Deason Claimed By Death Funeral services for Mrs. Jo n T. Deason, 72, were conducted at 3 o’clock Wednesday efternoon a 4 McCormick Methodist Church conducted by her pastor, Rev '’isude Evans, asrhst^rt by R°v ■'stcr Speer, Dr. S. W. Reid and Rev. L. K.
