(Associated Press Photos) Hunt Presents Terse Round-Up of Political Feeling in U. S. Today <|Most of 19 States in Cross-Section Survey Still Doubtful; State Fights Cloud National Race in Many Sections, Commentator Discovers A transcontinental automobile tour took famed Correspondent Frazier Hunt over highways and byways, to cities and villages, farm districts and industrial communities in politically “doubtful” states throughout the nation. Now, finished with his first-hand survey of pre-election sentiment for The Tribune, Hunt has “back-tracked” —by wire, this time—over the area which he had previously covered. The telegrams quoted below, from informed and reliable observers in east, middle west and far west, afford an up-to-the-minute, im- partially presented word picture of political feeling today in the sections described. By FRAZIER HUNT (Copyrizht, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.) Here is the simplest and most direct sort of political round- up that it is possible for one writer to make. To men in 19 key or doubtful states I sent identical tele- grams asking for a concise and last-minute picture of political conditions in their various communities. Below are their telegraphic replies, recorded exactly as they 0| were received. Each reader may “wish” into a number of them the sort of interpretation that he may desire. My own contribution to the final article in this set of politi- cal surveys, that have taken me almost 12,000 miles by motor from New England to the Dakotas, then down to extreme south- ern California and up the coast to the Canadian border, is that I can guarantee the intelligence and the integrity of the men whose observations are quoted below. Let us start with New England and then work our way to the far West Coast. The East { Massachusetts: “Activities of Union Sues here.

The dictionaries list several meanings, having to do mostly with statecraft in general. Last on the list is the commonly-accepted American defint- tion of activity within or on behalf of @ political party. ‘The borderline of distinction is so vague that it often is hard to decide what is and what is not politics, in the restricted partisan sense. To the discussion of this point President Roosevelt recently has made some in- teresting contributions. There is nothing political, says the president, about his tour of the drouth zone. From his headquarters it is given out also that neither his foreign affairs speech at Chautauqua nor his forthcoming addresses at the Charlotte rally or before the world power conference involve politics: that, in fact, he will make no political | speeches until October. The Practical Side The effect, not the intent, is what counts in politics. Elections are not decided on the basis of what the can- didates intend. The voting in November will be governed by the effect which various public acts and utterances have had on the electorate. And certainly none would contend that a series of speeches on public questions such as foreign relations and the power prob- lem, delivered by a president who is @ candidate for re-election, could be without political effect. Two Cases Prove Point ‘The proof of this is provided by two instances which already have fol- lowed promulgation of the “no-poli- tics” formula. Both demonstrate that while the president may be master of his own intentions, he cannot al- ways be certain whether the effect will be interrupted by others as po- litical or non-political. Early in August the president slipped out of Washington secretly for a visit with Maryland Democratic leaders at a country estate nearby. When the story leaked out; the White House issued a statement describing the occasion as “social.” But Senator Radcliffe, in charge of the campaign tin Maryland, spoke of it as a pep- meeting of the president's supporters, At one of his press conferences Mr, Roosevelt declared there was no po- litical intent behind the gathering he feat Roosevelt, Chances are Roose- velt will carry state.” And so with that I'll put the cover cn my portable typewriter and bow cut, with the assurance that no matter who is elected our country— its land and mines, rivers and forests, factories and people—will write its cwn pages of history and carry out its own destiny.

This may help elect Re- publican candidate Lodge. Curley recently said this was most perplex- ing campaign in years. He thinks, however, Democrats are likely to come back within the next three months.” Rhode Island: “Rhode Island, long classed as safely Republican, can be placed in doubtful column. Factional strife within major parties and shift of many Republicans to Coughlin standard responsible. Radio priest's visit to East Providence attracted as many Republicans as Democrats. Increase in Roosevelt sentiment noted. Many ask what is Langon’s Program.” Connecticut: “Connecticut decided- ly in doubtful list.

Never theless, Mr. Haywood Robbins, Jr., announcing the details at Charlotte, said the purpose was “to make the solid south more solid for Franklin Roosevelt.” A Political Effect Certain To site these incidents is not to say that Mr. Roosevelt stands convicted jot anything. Manifestly, nothing was further from the intent of Senator {Radcliffe or Mr. Robbins than to question the president's sincerity or candor. Furthermore, there is not the slight- jest proof that Mr. Roosevelt would not make his western drouth trip. in progress and if he had no intent and his speeches, if no campaign were \of running for re-election. What the situation does prove, how- ever, is this: This being a campaign year, and Mr. Roosevelt being a can- didate for re-election, his acts and speeches will have a political effect one way or the other, and will be re- garded by a large section of the pub- been @ Cass county resident for 50 yeire Sod Ce ee flor 20.

License Colors in 1937 An order for North Dakota’s 1937 automobile license plates, carrying a color combination of green numerals on a white background, has been placed with George Baske, superin- tendent of the steel pressing factory at the state penitentiary, highway commissioner W. J. Flannigan an- nounced Wednesday. Truck license plates will carry a dis- tinctive letter “T’ preceding the numerals, Flannigan said, while the letter “C” will precede numerals on commercial licenses. The color scheme will be the same for all vehicles. Inter-city bus, duplicate, commer- cial trailer, taxi, inter-state bus, and private trailer tags will carry word- ing which identifies them on the plates and dealers’ licenses will carry the letter “D.” The system of designation as to classification of vehicles in 1937 will be an “improvement” over former years, Flannigan said. Formerly pas- senger cars have had one type of color scheme, while commercial ve- hicles have carried reversed colors. Under the new plan, all tags will have the same colors, but the type of ve- hicle will be identified by words or letters denoting its classification. Anticipating heavy registrations, 132,000 passenger plates and 27,000 Car truck plates have been ordered. Other owners type plates have been ordered in small ° = Will — i wil not At Friend’s Funeral complete automobile “insurance. sermon for his long-time friend, | ‘MURPHY Robert E.

Drouth is foremost. The state has lost virtually all its plant- ed corn—9,200,000 acres, the third largest in the nation and the founda- tion of its livestock industry. The drouth served to revive the manner in which Roosevelt met similar crisis in 1934. Landon’s acceptance speech hurt him with independent voter in Nebraska.
