O Republican leaders, but which it is difficult to discern—can upset the New Deal apple cart Tuesday. Such a swell is_not impossible. It merely seems improbable. There are certain imponderables, however, that might upset the most carefully made computations, among them a wave of. con- servative sentiment, outraged by New Deal experiments and New N THE surface, it is Roosevelt and Garner. Only a political ground swell—such as is claimed by the NEW YORK. October 31.—Amid | :undering applause of thousands of | lemocrats rallying to his cause in | fadison Square Garden, President | ioosevelt told the Nation tonight that | might expect from four more years | [ the New Deal “a fight on behalf of \bor, the farmer, the unemployed and 2e home owners and for social secur- ¥ and better banking.” | That, he said ,is the “answer to| hose who, silent about their own | lans, ask us to state our objectives.” | I'o; the most part, the speech was recitation of things already under- aken by the administration, sprinkled vith repeated assertions that “we have ust begun to fight.” Into the final major address of his | nd for re-election were injected, too, inother thrust at Republican regimes )f 1929 to 1932, his own definition of | ‘he campaign issue, and a declaration | hat he welcomed the “hatred” of | hose who sought government by | organized money.” | The Garden was a riot of noise and tolor and motion as the Chief Execu~ iive stepped upon the speakers’ plat- Deal spending, spirit of revolt against the social security act, with its pay roll tax. A majority of the American peorle appears ready to take the cash and let the future take care of itself. Cash from an increase in business and emPloymenb—and cash from the Federal Treasury. The two items in the situation chiefly helpful to the New Deal cause in the coming election are this upturn in business and the | Democratic picture of President Roosevelt as a friend of the poor | man—of labor—and as a great humanitarian. | It looks now as though President Roosevelt would have 301 electoral votes from States surely Democratic and States leaning ! Democratic. The same listing of States gives to Gov. Alf M. Lan- don, the Republican candidate, 139 electoral votes from States sure Republican or leaning in that direction. This leaves 91 elec- toral votes in half a dozen States where the race is extremely | close, or seems to be. Necessary to elect are 266 electoral votes. Large Popular Vote Is Predicted for Landon. There is a real senument for Landon, who has made a gallant campaign against odds, as well as a very real sentiment against Roosevelt, his New Deal policies and his administration. It will be reflected in a large popular vote for the Republican candidate. Particularly will the upsurge of republicanism and anti-Roose- velt sentiment be reflected in an increase in the Republican mem- | bership of the House of Representatives, a most salutary thing for the Government and an end desired by not a few Democrats, who, while they have felt impelled to go along with their national ticket, would like to see the brakes applied to the New Deal policies. | Republican estimates of the gain in congressional seats range from a bedrock of 75 to 100. The Democrats, who admit that the iorm and into the blue-white glare of | spotlights cutting through cigarette | smoke like an Army searchlight | through a night haze. i Pandemonium in Garden. i Minute after minute the pande- | monium kept up. The President stood | smiling, waving, making little attempt | at first to silence the tremendous ugroar. Crowds swarmed into the farthest | teaches of the balconies, madly wav- | ing flags and cheering wildly. | A balcony band playing at top speed was scarcely audible above the patide- monium, swelled by horns and whistles ind bells. After the boisterous greeting had lasted 10 minutes over his radio time, ‘he President began to wave the | throng into their seats, but hand- | cl=pping by Gov. Herbert H. Lehman | x2pt them doggedly shouting and | Yhistling. Finally Mr. Roosevelt pulled out his yellow gold watch and held it on high. Then he shook his hand trying to obtain silence as a chant of “We want | Roosevelt” reverberated tthrough the | wvast indoor amphitheater. | For 13 minutes the ovation lasted. | Senator Robert F. Wagner, Demo- ! ~rat, of New York introduced the | Fresident as “our fearless leader and ‘he bearer of our destinies, the Presi- dent of the United States.” | Even as he began speaking per- | spiration had started forming on the | President's forehead. | Flags hung from beams overhead, | bunting from the balconieg. In the | rear were huge portraits of Roosevelt | tnd Lehman. In front were thou- | sands—the sports arena seats 21,000— | of yelling people spread out into the dimness of the big chamber. Outside other thousanas listened to She speeches through amplifiers. A crack of applause rang through the Garden when the President said at the start that the 1936 issue goes “to humanity itself.” It echoed again when he said that ~ (See ROOSEVELT, Page A-3) Rain Prediction For Election Day Hits Farm Vote Cold, Wet Weather Likely to Prevail East of Rockies. BY the Associated Press. Most of the Nation east of the ‘Rocky Mountains may march to the olls Tuesday in the rain, Uncle Sam'’s 'weather men indicated yesterday. ‘The weather outlook for election day, which politicians watch for its effect on the farm vote, struck a particularly \dublous note for the New England shopkeeper and the prairie plowman. Cold and possibly wet weather, it said, threatened “polling places all along the East Coast from New Eng- land down to Virginia. The outlook included, also, the vast expanse of Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland and numerous Eastern States with \arge industrial populations. Rain was expected to start “sometime Tues- tay” and continue on Wednesday. Heavy precipitation was indicated for Ohio Valley States and Tennessee tomorrow, possibly ending Tuesday, with warmer weather.

A personal survey in States stretching from Massachusetts to California leads me to give the edge to Roosevelt in the following 29 States with a total of 301 electoral votes: Alabama, 11; Arizona, 3; Arkansas, 9; California, 22; Colorado, 6; Delaware, 3; Florida, 7; Georgia, 12; Idaho, 4; Kentucky, 11; Louisiana, 10; Maryland, 8; Mississippi, 9; Missouri, 15; Montana, 4; Nebraska, 7; Nevada, 3; New York, 47; North Carolina, 13; North Dakota, 4; Oklahoma, 11; Oregon, 5; South Carolina, 8; Tennessee, 11; Tgxas, 23; Utah, 4; Virginia, 11; West Virginia, 8, and Wiscon- ' To Landon the edge belongs in the following g States with a 17 umm"i’aa:r}e"'hmp‘:fiw 4’: Mm.’v" 4 mmfis' g , 19; New , 4; New Jersey, 16; - ;Jn'nh, h;w;,lthode’ Island, 4; South Dakota; 4; Vermont, -3, and yoming, 3. The following half dozen States appear doubtful in the extreme and may go either way, with a total of 91 electoral votes: Illinois, 29; Indiana, 14; Minnesota, 11; New Mexico, 3; Ohio, 26, and Washington, 8. ‘Most of the surveys include Washington | in the Democratic column and perhaps it should be so placed. Result May Be Changed in Doubtful States. A big Landon pushover, if it comes, may change the results in a number of the States labelled Roosevelt in this list, and may give Landon nearly all of the States, if not all, of those marked doubtful. On the other hand, if the Roosevelt swing is impressive it may carry into the Democratic column some of the States here given to the Republicans. If Landon carries the States allotted to him and the doubtful States, a total of 230 electoral votes, he would have to take from the Roosevelt list only 31 electoral votes for victory. New York, alone, with its 47 electoral votes, would be more than sufficient, or for example, Delaware, Nebraska, West Virginia, Oregon and Wis- consin, with a total of 35 electoral votes. It has been an axiom of politics in recent years that a| Republican President cannot be elected unless he carries New York. The Empire State has been carried by every successful Republican presidential candidate since reconstruction days, except in 1878, when Tilden, the Democratic candidate, won in New York So close was the Hayes election that it was thrown into the Hoi of Representatives and to an electoral commission for final decision in favor of the Republican. Harding, Coolidge and Hoover could have been elected without New York. Today it looks as though New York is a sine qua non to Landon victory, although as indicated above, New York could still be left in the Roosevelt column and Landon have a majority of all electoral votes. Some of the foremost Republican leaders admitted to me that they must have New York for victory. The great preponderance of opinion in New York is that the State will wind up in the Democratic column. It is a tug of war between upstate New York and New York City. Final advices from Illinois and Ohio, two of the great pivotal States in this election, are that it is largely a guess which way they will turn. One of the keenest impartial observers in Illinois says “Illinois looks like a toss-up to me. I fancy Roosevelt still has the edge, but this is sheer guess work. Landon may come up to Cook County (Chicago) with a lead of 200,000 or more. There is no good line on how Cook County is going as the attack on| the social security act is reported making heavy inroads on workers’ votes. Republicans claim Landon will carry the State by 350,000; Democrats claim Roosevelt by 200,000.” Margin Expected to Be Narrow in Ohio. From Ohio comes word that the State may go either for Roosevelt or Landon by the narrow marf!n of 30,000 to 40,000, this estimate is made by one who has followed elections in the; Bucke{: State and been correct in estimates for a It is his opinion that the great rural vote will give Landon, probably, the necessary edge. He goes further, and predicts that the same rural vote in the West will make possible a Landon election without New York’s 47 votes, and that the election ma be a repetition of 1916, when the outcome was not decided until all the outlying districts in many of the States of the West, including California, had been counted. The Republican candi- date for Governor, Bricker, is expected to carry the State by 350,000 or more. If he does, Bricker may be a Republican presidential possibility in 1940. If the Landon swing comes, as gedlct.ed by the Republican an uprising of the le leaders, it will be due in large part on the farms and in the small towns and rural districts of the country. Rarely before, if ever, in a national election has the rural {;opulmon been so aligned against the cities. The industrial cen- ers are the backbone of the Roosevelt strength—except in the South where country and city alike seem to be living up to their traditions in support of the New Deal, which wears the label of the Democratic party. If the Landon swing comes it may also be due in considerable part to the issue which has been lnj“cm into the campaign almost at the eleventh hour by the Repub camp: stra gy roll tax. This is an issue which the have sink their teeth in. They can it. For it means tak- ing out of the wages and part of the money which is due them each week flusmr century, or month.

Landon told an uproarious throng tonight New Deal “broken promises” were “holding us back” and closed his presidential campaign by pledging a restoration of ‘“good government,” bringing “full recovery and re-employ= ment.” “Enterprise and initiative are afraid of the present administration,” the Republican presidential nominee said, contending it was “shocking” for President Roosevelt to ask re-election “on the basis of recovery” when 11,- 000,000 were unemployed. Before a cheering, stamping, flag- waving Halloween night crowd over- | flowing space for 15,000 in the big Municipal Auditorium, the Kansas Governor said his Democratic oppo- nent “has not revealed his program for the future.” “The present administration,” Lan- don said, “has tried to conceal that our form of government is an issue It has tried to run from its record instead of on its rec- ord.” Landon spoke at the end of a cam- paign trail which had taken him near- 1y 20,000 miles, including a transcon- tinental thrust from Los Angeles to New York.

A chorus of boos echoed virtually every mention of President Roose- velt and the New Deal. Hardly had the Governor begun when voices be. gan to shout: “Giv it to 'em, Alf,” and “Atta boy.” There was a constant interruption of applause bursts. Landon closed his campaign for the White House hy presenting a “choice.” “Let us,” he said, “look forward to & great and happier America. An America with real recovery, with finances sound, with credit unques- tioned. “An America that sees its farmers free to plant what they want, raise what they will and with a market for their products. “An America that seesits workers content because jobs are plentiful and secure, with wages rising. An America that is united—united because our people are making common cause as Americans and irrespective of race, color or creed.” The Governor said “the two big- gest jobs” today were getting 11,000,000 unemployed back ‘to work and “stopping the pouring of our money through the great political sieve at ‘Washington.” “The two jobs are wrapped to- gether,” the Kansan said. “We can- not live forever off tomorrow’s ine come. We cannot live forever by borrowing from our children. And we cannot live forever a united Nation with one-fifth of our working popu- lation dependent upon the Governe ment.” For the “spending job,” Landon promised a balanced budget. Then he asked: “Why are there still 11,000,000 un- employed? “The answer is that enterprise and initiative are afraid of the present administration. They don’t know what the administration is going to do next. They lack confidence in their own Government, and without (See LANDON, Page A-5.)

Paid. ‘The District incurred a cost of $12,- 152,505 during the past fiscal year for services or benefits it rendered to the United States, whereas the Federal payment toward the bill was less than half that sum, Maj. Daniel J. Donovan yesterday advised the Commissioners. Calculations of the excess burden borne by the District because of the Federal character attaching to the city are to be used as one argument for fiscal equity in further appearances of District officials before the Presi- dential Committee which is seeking to determine the proper size of the Fed- eral share. The finding is contained in a chart prepared by Maj. Donovan from finan- cial studies made by department executives to illustrate the division of costs of the many departments as be- tween purely municipal functions and benefits and those for the Federal Government. Based on 30 Operations. The separation of the costs, partly on the basis of actual figures and partly on estimates, is outlined for 30 municipal operations and for each of the 12 years from the fiscal years 1925 to 1936, inclusive.

No stranger apparitions ever were witches, ghosts and grotesque, balloon- like figures which moved down Con- stitution avenue to the music of a dozen bands. Crowds banked the parade route from Sixth street to the disbanding point beyond the gaily-lighted court between Fourteenth and Seventeenth streets presided over by the queen of | the festivities and her attendants. Perfect Fall weather, with a brisk chill in the air, boosted the record- breaking attendance. Police Chief Ernest W. Brown, who led the parade, estimated at least 75,000 persons thronged the downtown area to watch the spectacle. “The queen was 21-year-old Ada Dam- eron, a striking brunette, who arrived at the reviewing stand on a gaily~ decorated float surrounded by the 12 pretty girls who were her attendants.

TEN CENTS MARITIME STRIKE IN EAST IS VOTED AS SHIPPING TIE-UP NEARS FORALLU.S. Seamen’s Unionin New York Demands Sympathy Walk- out, Overriding Officers, Who Seek to Halt Action, PACIFIC COAST IS IDLE; RAIL EMBARGO ORDERED Four Overland Lines Ban Freight Destined to Points Beyond. Arbitration Fails Despite Eforts of Federal Officials—Anxiety Felt for Hawaii and Alaska. BACKGROUND— Since September 30 Pacific Coast maritime unions and employers have been unable to agree on the workers’ “fundamental demands” concerning the hiring of labor. On that date expired their agreement, reached after the bitter 83-day strike of 1934, in which seven were killed, giving the unions control of “hiring halls,” places where sea workers are engaged jor a particu- lar voyage or job. Arbitration ef- Jorts were made before anc after erpiration of the agreement, but last Friday the unions called out 37,000 workers on the Coast and the strike has been spreading since, Bs the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 31.—Members of the International Seamen’s Union tonight voted to call an immediate strike on their own initiative after officers of the organization opposing the proposal were noisly overruled. The action climaxed an uproarious meeting at the Coopers’ Union, during which more than five persons were evicted. The vote, in line with proposals to support dissatisfled marine workers on the Pacific Coast, threatened to complete an incipient tie-up of shipe ping throughout the country. The Pacific maritime strike extended its grip yesterday to certain overland railroad cargo, tied up more Eastern ships, spread farther along the busie ness front, and caused official cone cern over. its effect on Alaska and Hawail. 1,200 Assent to Strike. Jack Lawrenson, a delegate of the Machine Firemen, Ollers and Water Tenders’ Union, said there were 1,200 votes assenting to the strike at the New York meeting. None dissented, he said, after he put the question as temporary chairman. Immediately afterward he charged the seamen: “Every ship is an strike, Establish your picket lines, and those men on boats sit down.” . Joseph Curran, chairman of the Seamen’s Defense Committee, an in- surgent group of the International Seamen’s Union, was barred earlier in the night with 24 others because of their insurgency several months ago. ‘Then Curran’s “rank and file” group sought to overturn the officers of the 1. 8. U, charging they had made agreements with shipping lines withe out submitting the questions on wages and hours to the membership. When Curran finally gained admittance he called for another vote, and got it Offshore Ships Affected. He emphasized that the strike would be not only intercoastal, but would affect the so-called offshore shipa plying between foreign ports. “The idea is to leave this hall* Curran shouted, “and set up picket lines and show the Pacific Coast men that we are 100 per cent behind them. It is the point of the officials of the I. 8. U. to see that there is no maritime federation, because they will go into the ashcan. They will anyhow.” Curran’s Seamens Defense Commit« tee was named a temporary strike committee and delegates from the ships were ordered to report Sunday morns ing and sign up for crew members, The crews were ordered to “sit down™ in their strike. ‘The Maritime Engineers’ Union at San Francisco ordered its license-bear« ing members to resign and leave the engine rooms of strike-bound coast (See COUGHLIN, Page A-16.)
