Summing up his campaign in a brief talk, Roosevelt in tones vibrant with emotion, declared: “To be the means through which the Ideals and hopes of the American peo- ple may find a ‘greater realization calls for the best in any man. I seek to be ?lnly the humble emblem of this restora- on.” And then he added, slowly: “If that be your verdict, my friends of America and my next door neigh- bors of Dutchess County, and that be the confident purpose behind your ver- dict, I shall, in the humility that suits such a great confidence, seek to meet this great expectation of yours. With your help and your patience and your generous good will, we can mend the torn fabric of our common life.” Then, in conclusion, he said: “On this very evening of the exer- cise of the greatest right of the Ameri- can electorate, I bid you good night.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 8.—Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the board of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, re- turned from Europe today aboard the liner Rex, silent on his voting choices in the election. Schwab registered before leaving four weeks ago for England, where he re- celved the Melchett medal for distin- guished service in the fuel industry. He planned to go from the pler directly to his Riverside Drive home and then to his polling place to cast his ballot. Reminded that he was not expressing his usual optimism, Schwab replied: “There has been an overproduction of optimism in the United States in the last several years. I am optimistic. I have not lost my faith in America, if I have lost a lot of money. I feel that ultimately this country is going to be just the same as it was when everything was bright sunny.” 60,000Expected in Neighboring Counties. MANY IN D. C. TO VISIT POLLS Democrats Favored to Win in Virginia and Maryland. BY JACK ALLEN, 8taff Correspondent of The Star. Undaunted by cloudy skies and | the threat of light showers later in the day, the voting populace of 'nearby Maryland and Virginia was moving down upon the polling places in vast array today to cast |its ballots for the men who seek ‘Ilo guide the destinies of the Na- tion for the next four years. While voteless Washington sat idly by watching the proceedings, the electorate of the two adjacent States began forming at an early hour and was filing in almost un- broken formation into the stations scattered at various vantage | points throughout the two com- | monwealths at noon. % Every factor indicated that pre- lelection predictions of political leaders in both Maryland and Vir- ginia that a record vote, surpass- ing even that of the 1928 race | between President Hoover and Al Smith, would be registered. 60,000 Nearby Votes. It was estimated that 60,000 voters would go to the polls in Montgomery, Prince Georges, Fairfax and Arlington Counties and the City of Alexandria during the day, including a large num- ber of workers in the Government de- partments here who reside in those communities. Many of these will be | taken to the polls in automobiles fur- nished by party workers. Officials at the United States Weather Bureau reported at noon that the over- | cast skies and mist that prevailed this morning would be followed possibly by light showers over the entire area late this afternoon. The polls will close shortly after dark with the prospect that complete returns from the vote in the two States would be available by midnight. In addition to voting for the presi- dential candidates, the residents of the two States are selecting their repre- sentatives in Congress. Marylanders are choosing one United States Senator and a Representative from each of the six Congressional dis- tricts. In Virginia the voters will se- lect nine Representatives at large. Maryland residents are also voting on a constitutional amendment which | would prevent the State Legislature | from extending the terms of Circuit | Court judges who have attained the age of 70 years.

EUROPE WATCHING VOTING TREND HERE | Effect of Presidential Choice \ on War Debts One of Vital Interest. By the Associated Press LONDON, November 8-—Absorbed in their own problems, the countries of Europe none the less were intensely in- terested in the American presidential election today, particularly as it might bear on the all-important problems of disarmament, war debts and the eco- nomic crisis. These were among the more important issues that Europe holds in common with the young Nation across the At- lantic. And as millions of Americans voted, European statesmen in Great Britain, France, Italy and elsewhere were mak- ing new and important moves in inter- ‘ national affairs. MacDonald Wants Action. Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald of Great Britain led off. Aroused to indig- | nation over the apparently slow proce- dure of the preparatory commission at Geneva, he insisted in the House of Commons yesterday that the world eco- nomic conference must get under way by Christmas There was some expectation that Mr. | MacDonald would turn toward Wash- ington to sound out the old or the new administration, as the case may be, for support*in his urge for haste. i “There was also a promise of develop- | & ments from the American viewpoint in the disarmament situation.

By the Associated Press SACRAMENTO, Calif,, November 8. — Coming into the capital of California, President Hoover told & throng that greeted him at the station today that be had been the subject of “unceasing misrepresentation by the press of Wil- liam Randolph Hearst.” Remarking at the outset “the election is on today and most of you have already made your conclusions.” the Chief Executive asserted the people of California had not been given a full account of the crisis through which the Nation had passed. The station crowd, standing in bright early-morning sunlight, applauded the President when he said the Nation was “again on the road to prosperity.” He said there had been a “disagresment” between himself and the American Fed- | eration of Labor in that while he esti- mated 360,000 men had returned to work in September, the federation placed this figure at 560,000. He smiled as he made the remark. Rolph Boards Train. Gov. James Rolph, jr, and a party of friends boarded the President's spe- cial train st Newcastle, Calif, an hour earlier to continue on with him to San Francisco. A large detail of California State motor cycle police waited at the New- castle station, as they had at an earlier stop at Auburn. Railroad men said the police detail was following the course of the train by highway as a protection to the President. Railroad officials reported a bridge guard just west of Palisade, Nev, was shot in the little finger and his coat slashed last night shortly before the | arrival there of the Hoover train. Officials and Secret Service n re- ported, however, that after an all-night investigation they could find no trace of the guard’s assailants and that there ! was no evidence of any attempt to | wreck the train. Nevertheless, the pilot engine which precedes the President's train was halted and the train itself was stopped while an investigation was made. | ,, After being taken for a ride through the Sacramento business district, the President returned to his train, which left for Oakland at 9:02 a.m. The Chief Executive brought his 11,000-mile presidential campaien drive to a climax last night with a plea that voters “not be led astray by false gods arrayed in the rainbow colors of His words were broadcast de from the parlor car of his a stop in the mountain- bordered Nevada Valley town of Elko.
