Holt’s State Is Torn by Campaign David Lawrence. A THE EVENING News Behind the News Roosevelt’s Current Trip and Exhibition Unusual in Campaigns. BY PAUL MALLON. RESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S current campaign trip is unique. No presidential candidate ever made one like it. For one thing, it calls | for more intensive travel than Mr, Hoover's last desperate bid in 1932. But what is more significant, the President felt that what Jie would say would not be sufficiently important to warrant arranging na- tional radio hook-up, except at two of the dozens of places he intended to stop. He made advance broadcasting arrangements only for Omaha and Chicago. His itinerary called for stops of only an hour and a half in most of the large cities to be visited, and the usual over-night rests ‘were omitted. Dopesters here ran around in circles when they heard about it. They could not make out whether the President had become desperate or whether he was just trying to tire himself into an illness by mean= ingless overezertion. Both guesses were low and outside. The trip is not a campaign swing at all, but an exhibition tour. The President's associates were angry and dissatisfied with the way it finally developed. Ome of them remarked as the train pulled out of the station: “One thing is missing. We should have a flat car with a whale on it.” . What happened was this: The President had arranged & moderate tour for the two speeches in which he expected to have something fo say. The railroad schedule was secretly worked out five days be- fore the departure date. But a smart newsman got hold of it and published it far and wide. Then the fun began at the White House. State leaders and even precinct %, committeemen " along the route started telephoning and wiring Mr. Roosevelt, Farley, Representatives and every one they knew in Washington. They fumed and threatened, saying he was sure to lose their localities if he did not stop and at least have his picture taken with them. Some convinced him that he would have National Contest Put in Second Rank by Today’s dispatch deals with the situation in West Virginia, twenty- Lauwrence in his tour of 40 out of the 48 States to ascertain the Ppaign.

By the time he got through saying yes, his railroad schedule looked like a dozen pretzels heaped on a table. e s For example, Minnesota leaders insisted that he help them in their precarious situation by coming up and promoting enthusiasm. There seemed to be some sense in that, but, as soon as he accepted St. Paul, he opened up about 800 miles more of itinerary, and the way stations were immediately heard from. Kansas was not on the original route either. But its inclusion can- not be blamed on any precinct committeemen, at least not directly. The story goes that Chairman Farley has long had a belief that he can carry Kansas. The more people laugh at him, the more convinced he becomes. His friends say he has a dollar bet on it, but that is probably just Democratic propaganda. At any rate, Mr. Farley is the one who convinced Mr. Roosevelt that he should go through Kansas.

British sources are said to believe a $4.50 pound would be nearer right than the current $4.39. Of course, they are talking in terms of siz months or a year. If they really think that way, there is little Mr. Morgenthau can do. The only thing certain, however, is that the situation stresses again the fact that the stabilization agreement is not a stabilization agreement, but a temporary “if” arrangement to cover the current situation. Equally certain is that, if the British are right, the Russians were not very stupid in getting Mr. Morgenthau to buy their pounds at the price they received. * * * % The hint from the White House that Mr. Roosevelt may seek con- tinuation of his devaluing powers was an advance feeler for a foregone conclusion. Until a definite and permanent stabilization can be effected, there is no other way to safeguard the dollar against excessive foreign devaluations. (Copyright, DRIVING WHILE DRUNK.

Polls Confuse Predictions Barometer State of Maryland Seems to Refute Straw Vote of BY MARK SULLIVAN: E latest installment of the I Literary Digest poll gives Gov. Landon 713,451 votes and Mr. Roosevelt 485392. In other words, Landon has 56.9 per cent of the total. That would mean a rather overwhelming Republican victory. Three instaliments of the Digest poll are yet to appear. Conceivably, the final result might give a reduced ma- jority to Landon, or even give a ma- jority to Mr. o Roosevelt. But the Digest exper- jence with pre- vious polls sug- gests that the present indica- tion of a Repub- lican victory will continue to the end of the poll. Because of the immense scale of the Digest poll much more ex: tensive than any other national poll, and because of the tested accuracy of this poll in previous presidential elections, the common tendency is to accept the Digest's present indication of a Re- publican victory. If we accept the Digest's past accu- racy as convincing, if we accept this poll as a barometer, then we would be obliged to conclude that the Re- | publicans will win comfortably on November 3. There is no use arguing against the barometer, if we assume the barometer to be accurate. The question becomes whether the Digest poll is an accurate barometer. Even though it has been accurate in pre- vious elections, is it accurate in this one? Mark Sullivan. Disbelieved Before. During previous campaigns the Digest’s forecast has been questioned by those whom it disappointed. or those to whom it seemed incredible. During the 1932 campaign Repub- licans could not believe they would suffer such a disastrous defeat as the | Digest poll forecast. During the 1928 | campaign, supporters of the Demo- rratic candidate, Al Smith, could not believe he would be beaten by any| such overwhelming proportion as the Digest poll pointed toward. Simi- larly. in the present campaign, nearly all Democrats strongly dispute the Digest’s forecast of serious defeat for them. Some neutral observers dis- pute either the forecast of so great a | Republican victory or the forecast of | Republican victory at all. Many other polls differ from the | Digest index. One poll conducted | on a Nation-wide scale, but reaching | only a very small fraction of the/ number of voters reached by the Digest, points toward Democratic vic- tory. Some local polls of States or parts of States point toward the | Democrats carrying decisive States— | States which, if carried, would prob- | ably mean Democratic victory in the Nation. Maryland Also a Barometer. Of all the State polls, the one most | difficult to reconcile with the Digest | one is the poll of Maryland con- ducted by the Baltimore Sun. The Sun sent straw ballots to every reg- istered voter in Maryland, amounting to 755,000. The latest tabulation of returns give President Roosevelt | 172,673, Mr. Landon 95493. That is, | Mr. Roosevelt has about 64 per cent | of the total vote, Gov. Landon only a little over 35 per cent (minor can- didates, Communists, etc., get nearly 1 per cent). This outcome of this Maryland poll is discussed intently by politicians and observers. It composes the best single bit of evidence on the side of | those who dispute the Literary Digeat! poll. True, the Maryland poll is of | only one State. But Maryland is| It CaprrtaL’s Rapio PROGRAMS Saturday, October 10. | WRC 950k PM.

Since 1892 (when Maryland, s0 to speak, ceased to vote under Civil War influences) in every presidential elec- tion Maryland has gone the way the country went. This extraordinary record (not du- plicated, I think, by any other State) has given Maryland a kind of super- stitious standing with politicians and political correspondents. Every four years since 1892 any gambler who could have known in advance how Maryland would go would have been able to bet successfully on the out- come in the Nation. ‘Which Barometer Right? It is for this reason that bettors, predicters and observers puzzle over the-outcome of the present Maryland Poll. Here is a State with a remark- able predictive record now forecasting Democratic victory. And here is the Literary Digest likewise with a re- markable record, forecasting Repub- lican victory. It is impossible to reconcile the two barometers. If the Maryland poll pointed only toward a slight Democratic victory, observers might dismiss it and rely on the Literary Digest poll. For Maryland commonly goes one way or the other by only narrow majorities and con- ceivably might this time be wrong. But the Maryland poll points toward 64 per cent for Mr. Roosevelt and only about 35 per cent for Gov. Landon. Almost any politician or observer would be willing to bet that if Mary- land on November 3 actually goes Democratic in so large a proportion, the country as a whole would go Democratic. Exceeds 1932 Figures. The Maryland poll actually gives Mr. Roosevelt a larger per cent of Maryland's total vote than he had in 1932. In that year Mr. Roosevell's proportion of the Maryland total was just under 63 per cent. It would be difficult to find any one (except pos- | sibly the most inflated of New Deal- ers) who thinks for one moment that Mr. Roosevelt will this year get as large a proportion of the total vote in the Nation as in 1932. In short, as respects proportion of the total vote at least, the Maryland poll seems fantastic. Republicans may take| what comfort they can in an adapta- tion of an old legal maxim—if fan- tastic in one respect, fantastic in all. In yet another respect, the Mary- land poll is extraordinary. The total number of straw ballots sent out (to the entire electorate) was 755,000. Out of these, 269,840 have been re- turned bearing the name of the voter’s choice. That is, 35 per cent of the straw ballots, more than one-third, have been marked and returned. This is extremely unusual. The common experience of newspapers or organi- zations that take polls of this kind is to get back less than 20 per cent. I am told the Literary Digest com- monly gets back about 16 per cent. The usual experience of business men who send out circulars with requests for answers is to get an even smaller | percentage of replies. Post-Mortem to Decide. Does the extraordinary number of replies in Maryland mean that the Democrats are on their toes and | eagerly send back their ballots marked | for Roosevelt, while the Republicans are less alert? Does it mean that many Democrats who intend to vote for Landon when in the assured | secrecy of the voting booth, neverthe- less, do not care to show their in-| tentions on straw ballots? Anyhow, this head-on discrepancy | between the Maryland poll and the Literary Digest one is rather more | discussed by politicians than the is- sues of the campaign.

We, the People States Rejecting New Deal Held Likely to Lose Certain Benefits of Policies. BY JAY FRANKLIN. 8 THE campaign approaches its inevitable end, with Republicarn observers privately conceding Roosevelt's re-election, a haunting “ear.has arisen in certain regions lest failure to support the New Deal may be punished by denial of its future benefits to those States which go the American way of all flesh—chiefly around the waist- lLine—with the men of money. This is an interesting point. It would be comforting to believe that you can attempt to thwart a great national policy and then claim equal benefits in that policy with those who have successfully overcome your opposition. That is the sort of heads-I-win-tails-you-lose theory which is forever dear to the human heart. But since this is, roughly (very much 50 at times), a democratic country, if the people of a region cast their votes against a major national policy, that policy will be slackened off in that region and their leaders will lose their influence in the national councils. * x o*x % No other development is possible under the system of re - tional interests which is the true heir to our old goctrme o!eg‘&l::'ll?;“;:u. ‘While a region will not be permit- ted to block broad national poli- cies—did not the G. O. P. drape the tariff, like a burning nightshirt, around the cotton South?—it could not expect to receive particular benefits from a national govern- ment which it had tried to over- throw, Where, as a result of peculiar local conditions, a single State sticks its neck out against the New Deal it might receive special attention. Thus Pennsylvania, where the Republicans counted the votes for Hoover in 1932, has actually been con- verted into Democratic territory this year. But where a whole region goes Tory the will of its inmates is likely to influence national operations directed from Washington. Tet’s get down to cases! In 1932, as well as this year, New England was the heart and soul of Hooverism in national affairs, The New Deal's national program for power development led Roosevelt to push the Passa- maquoddy tidal power project in Maine, and if he is re-elected by a suffi- clently hig national majority he will undoubtedly try to complete it. For the rest, however, New England did not get many direct henefits from the New Deal, and when the drought 'struck the farm belt Federal funds for resettlement and W. P. A. were rapidly shifted from the stony soil of the Puritans to the parched acres of the Great Plains. This year, in addition to stubborn New England, there is a chance that the Corn Belt may find itself in lonely grandeur in the Landon col- umn. At a broad venture, it is conceivable that Illinois, Minnesota, Towa, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota might vote for the La Salle street speculators and the old gang of Republican confidence men. A repudiation of the New Deal on so wide a scale could not be ignored by any responsible national administration. It would be interpreted as a popular desire to return to the catch-as-catch-can farm economics which made fortunes in the Chicago wheat pit and e pi reduced the farmers to the After such a spiritual secession from the new national union, Roose- velt might well keep on Henry Wallace as a political pet, but he could not wisely regard him as a political power. Inevitably, the benefit pay- ments, etc.. paid to corn-hog far- mers and wheat growers would taper off. Inevitably, P. W. A, W. P. A and Resettlement projects would be diverted to other regions where they are assured of a wel- come—to the Southeast and the West. Quite probably, Wallace and - < his fellow corn-belters in the De- . partment of Agriculture and the Triple A would have much less to say about farm policies, and the national agricultural program would be directed by some such Southerner as Oscar Johnson. Here again, New England’s New Deal experience is instructive. At the outset of ’33, a whole raft of unreconstructed Yankees came to Washington and worked for Roosevelt. Joe Choate of Federal Alcohol Control Administration and Jeff Coolidge, Undersecretary of the Treas- ury, and his predecessor, Dean Acheson, were good examples. But the tug of local loyaities, preconceived prejudices and sectional opposition to the national program sucked them out of the administration, one by one, while old Jesse Jones of Tezas went on forever in the R. F. C. 2 For while the New Deal has revived political federalism as a national policy, it has not adjourned political democracy. If any considerable region of the United States votes against Roosevelt’s national policies, it need not expect to have any more of those benefits of those policies than directly serve the national interest, inflicted upon its rugged inhabitants. And the leaders of that region need not expect to retain their privileged position of leadership at Washington. . (Copyright, 1936.) tional Radio Committee. In addition, N. B.

As we were about to go in, public adula« | tion of Mr. Kreisler turned.to hate and villification. I talked with him 2n hour on the day he left for Eu- rope. He was the subject of a column of intemperate abuse in a morning paper of that day. His interview is interesting in view of the worlds after-thoughts of 17 years. “We must forgive and understand,” he said. “This might happen to an American artist in Austria today, ‘These wounds will heal and we will be friends sgain.
