: THE ONLY ISSUE
(The San Francisco News) .
As we listened to President Roosevelt's fireside chat of
Monday evening we were impressed by the similarity of attitude and purpose metween it and Atty. Gen. Ear] Warren s
opening statement at The News-KYA forum Sunday evening.
In almost every word the president emphasized the need
for completé preoccupation of the people of America with the
war. Nothing else matters. Nothi¢ that tends to disunite. the
people can be tolerated. Politics is adjourned. Partisanship has
no place in the picture. America must act, must prepare, must
fight as one great united force against the enemy on every
front.
Mr. Warren has couched his campaign for governor on
‘that same high plane. Although he is a Republican, he has
pledged to support President Roosevelt in every phase of the
nation’s war effort. He is asking the people of California to
regard the ‘governorship in this sreat emergency as strictly .
a nonpartisan office and his candidacy as an anpeal to all the
people of the state, regardless of party affiliations.
The News believes Mr. Warren is entirely sincere in this .
attitude and that Governor Olson does him an injustice by .
accusing him of political trickery in his stand.
' Mr. Warren’s hope and his promise is to put California, .
with all its rich resources, into the war fully. To our shame .
and our regret this has not been done to date by the Olson ad-.
ministration. As the spearhead of the . nation in the Pacific
war theatre California should have been far out in front from .
the very first. Instead of putting the state in that position Gov!
ernor Olson fell into a partisan row with the legislature over
the State Guard and has since refused to call a special session
to repair the damage that was done then.
We believe the governor must give a more satisfactory
answer than he has to date for his failure to assert his leadership. The state’s civilian defense is in deplorable shape largely
because he has refused to convene a special session to pass
egislation to make it more effective.
For almost a year our country has been at war. For two
years previously we were preparing for war. At no time in
that period has Governor Olson risen adequately to the demands of leadership such a crisis imposed upon the chief executive of the state. In this campaign we must judge him upon his record. it does not reveal him as a great and-inspiring
leader of all the people.
Mr. Warren, on the other hand, has, by the high, patriotic and nonpartisan character of his campaign. indicated the
quality of leadership we may expect from him. He has hitched his wagon to the star of victory in the war, regardless of
politics, regardless of petty factionalism, regardless of the fortunes of the Republican or any other party.
We believe the record-breaking vote he received from
both parties in the primary election was proof that he is expressing the ideals, the convictions and the hopes of all the
people of California.
And it is upon this basis we believe he is entitled to be
elected as the wartime governor of California.
NAVY CAN USE MINE ENGINEERS
The Navy is making an urgent plea for civil, architectural and sanitary engineers with actual experience in construction to serve as commissioned officers in the Naval Reserve.
The recent government closure order, affecting the gold
mining industry of the western states,-has left many competent construction engineers without jobs, at least temporarily. The Navy is asking those men to investigate the possibil. ities offered in its service. Qualified engineers with good backgrounds of experience will be given ranks up to Lieutenant
Commander and they will be in vital positions engaged in
new construction throughout the far-flung network of the
Navy's new shore installations.
Men with actual experience in construction of dams,

LANDSLIDEFOR
By CLEM WHITAKER
A landslide victory for Earl Warren in the governorship race on November 8, which many political forecasters now believe is in the making,
may ‘bring with it the election of
brilliant, hard-hitting Fred Houser,
Alhambra assemblyman, as Lieutenant Governor and a possible surprise
win by Wallace Ware, former member of the State Railroad Commission, as Attorney General. ‘3. _

With the general election contest
sweeping toward the final showdown without any indication thai
Governor Olson can overcome the

Los Angeles are offering even money
that Warren will win by 350,000.
In some political quarter's, despite
warnings against over-confidence
from the Warren headquarters, estimates of Warren’s majority range:as
high as 750,000, and there is a noticeable lack of Olson money in the

Assemblyman Houser,
his campaign was interrupted by the
. death of his father, Supreme Court
. Houser, has
. been making steady headway against
. Lieutenant Governor Ellis E. Patterison since the primary, and a landvictory over Olson
imight well have the efect of clinching victory for Houser as well.
Wallace Ware, while conceded to
have a tougher fight than Houser,
is rated as one of the most-effective
campaigners in California and has
been pouring it on’ his opponent.
Senator Robert W. Kenny, during the
final stage of the Attorne Generalship battle. Kenny is still the favorite in the betting, but Ware can’t
be counted out at this point. In this
instance, too, a Warren landslide
might be the deternfining factor.
The governorship race is also exalthough
‘legaslative contests throughout the
state. In Mereed and Madera counties, for example, where former Lieut.
Gov. George J. Hatfield is running
for the senate on a pledge to support Warren’s war and civilian defense program, he is opposed by Elmer B. Maze, an Olson partisan. Hatfield due to his own popularity in the
district, where he is engaged in farming, and due to the fact that Merced
‘and Madera counties went overwhelmingly for Warren at the primary, is figured to win this fight.
Likewise, Senator Arthur H. Breed
Jr., of Oakland, who is in a hot race
with Patrick W. McDonough for the
Alameda County senatorial seat, will
undoubtedly benefit if there is a
Warren landslide. Somewhat the
same situation exists in Santa Clara
County, where Byrl R. Salsman is
expected to win out in his senatorial fight with M. G. DelMutolo. The
