s 1ERLLT 3 e N LN BORDER STATES IN | GREAT EXCITEMENT Crowds Pocking 0 Polls (0 b e By RALPH H. HEPPE Assoclated Press Southwestern News Editor Democratic and republican camps in the border statea of Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee and Keantucky today confidenty awaited the ver- dict of the election, while & per. turbed electorate sought the quiet- ude eof the voting booth to make a final choice. Issues that have been bitterly fought were resulting in an lmost unprecedeated flock te the polls, with reports that despite inclement weather In some sections, an un- usually heavy vote was being cast. A bloc of 53 electoral votes is at stake in this group of atates, of which the republicans have won a majority in the .last two presiden- tial campaigns. Although rain threatened through- out the central portion of Oklahoma the early vote in the state as a whole wis reported heavy. In Ol lahoma City reports ffom different voting places indicated that an un. usually large number of women vot- ors were casting their ballots, Both major parties claimed suc- ceas in this state in last minute statements, the republicans by from 25,000 to 50,000 and the democrats by 8,000, A schism ever religion and probibition in the democratic ranks was claimed by republicans to augur a repetition of the claims that they would not vote for the party | nominee, On the other hand, dem- ocratic leaders asserted the breach had been healed and that republi- can dissidents, dissatisfied with the farm relief situation, would shift sufficient vote to bring them victory. From over Missourl came reports of a rush to vote, and it was csti- mated that a fourth of the state’s million and a half potential voters had signified their choice by 10 o'clock. Many towns reported a line waiting for the polls to open. and from all sections came word that the vote would be the largest on record. Favorable weather prevailed, which was claimed by republicans to assure success, €n they looked for a heavy plurality in the rural sections. Democratic leaders remained firm in their calculations, however, that Governor Smith would carry St. Louis by from 60,000 to 75,000, and this plurality, with a turn to 8mith in counties adjoining 8t. Youls, would give the nominee sufficient lead to overcome any out-state loss. Kanses City.with a registration of 244,000 and SBt. Louls with about 865,000 expected new’ high record votes, with half the ballots in the box In some Kansas City precincts“more than half the vote ‘was out before 10 o'clock. Favorable weather was turning out the voters in flocks in Tennessee and both the major parties looked for victery, Democratic leaders predicted thelr national ticket woutd 80 over by 20,000 and their stato ticket by 30,000 to $5,000, Victory estimates by republican leaders varied from 20,000 to 60,000 for Hoover, but with no claims for their state ticket. Neither party, however expected the state's congressional delegation to show any changes. A record vote of around 400,000 was expected. In Kentucky lkewise a fair and brisk fall day brought out the elec- torate In unprecedented numbers, and reports from over the state in- dicated & new high total would be established, probably approaching a million votes. 3n this state falr ‘weather is known as ‘“‘republican weather” because it means that rodds fn the mountain sections, normally republican strongholds, will be passable and the mountain vete thereby increased. Republicans were making the most of this des- pite & hard fight the democrats ‘waged in the rugged sectons. Re- publican ferecasts for success by [{} ‘were matched by democratic claims of victory, with Benator Al- ben W. Barkiey, democratic cam- paign manager, asserting that re- ! ports indicated a tide toward Bmith “running e strong that it is impos- sible to impede the progress toward vietory.” CURTIS AND ROBINSON HERE New Britain has one voter whose name Is the same as the democratic vice president nominee and also one ‘whoe name is the same as that of the republican party. Charles Cur- tis, the son of ex-Mayor O. F. Cur- tis, ls veting for his namesake on the republican, but efforts to locate Dr. Jossph Robinson, Senator Rob- inson’s namesake, were not success- ful, but he fs & registered democrat. Dr. Robinson is the Stanley Worka physiclan. TREASURY BALANCE Treasury Balance, $194,705,836.

Demccracy in such a state would become the de- stroyer of liberty and net its guar- antee,” he added. i People Anxious ’ Referring to the interest in the campaign as manifested by the - precedented registration, the repub- lican nominee declared this “enor- mously enlarged interest is evidence of the great depth of conviction and even anxlety of our people over this | momentous decision.” “And whatever that decision is, | it will be right,” he added. “I be-, lieve in the will of the majority, It} conscience of our people.” | As Hoover talked into the micro- phone installed in the study of his he was surrounded by the! members of his immediate family, Tmmediately after he concluded | his final talk of the capaign, the radio brought him the last word of | nis democratic opponent which alsn | {was carrled over a nation-wide | hookup &t stations.

Bettors generally picked the re- publican ticket to be successful in {the nation. There was some differ- ence of epinion as to its success In the state but there was little wager- ing on the outcome. There appear- ed to be mere democratic money than there were republican backers to take on the results locally.
