We all have the right to go to
the polls and vote the way we
think is best. That is our privi-
lege in America. For our part
we shall vote for Mr. Roosevelt
and will be proud to do so. The
Star endorses heartily the fol-
lowing sentiment expressed by
Douglas Meador, editor of the
Matador Tribune: >
" "When J have cast my solitary
vote for President Roosevelt,
my obligation to duty will be
paid, but the memory of. its ex-
ecution will remain to honor my
judgment long after these tumul-
tuous days are past. So long as
he is president, I will sleep well
of nights knowing that a peer-
less leader is exerting all in
human integrity for the beneAt
of this glorious nAtion, Franklin
D. Roosevelt, the haan in dis-
favor with fvciryone but the
people.?
