SENATOR HEFL|N SAYS DEMOCRATIC
 VICTORY CERTAIN
Spent Last Few Weeks In Doubtful States Where EW- dence of Turn In Tide
 Is UnquestionabIe

"Gov. James M. Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt, demo- cratic candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States, will be elected by one of the biggest landslides in political history"
 That is the statement of Senator J. Thomas Heflin, who has recently re- turned from tour of more than dozen states in the east and the west and who says that every indication points to the worst defeat of the repub- lican party since the Civil war.
 There is not doubt in the world but what two months ago Senator Harding had Governor Cox beaten" continued Senator Heflin. but during the past four weeks the tide turned just the same as it did at the last cleo ton when it looked as if Hughes had President Wilson beaten by narrow margin.
 But Senator Harding is going to get a harder beating than Mir. Hughes got and 1t will be because at least two thirds of the people of this country want the United States to become a member of the League of Nations.
 TIDE TURNS
 National democratic headquarters are claiming New Hampshire. North Dakota, Utah, Montana, Nevada and Washington, as states that are already flying under democratic colors, while in the east our campaign managers feel sure that Connecticut, New York and New Jersey will go democratic.
 During the past several weeks have travelled through every one of these states and l have every reason to be- lieve they will vote just as our cam paign managers say they will. l also found while out upon my tour that the democratic party is solidly organized and unafraid while the republican party in every state that is not solidly repup- lican is changing from first one policy to another in the hope that they-can turn the tide at the last minute.
 '-rhe solid south will go solidly democratic just as it has in the past. And the solid south will mean 1S1 votes in the electoral college. That means that the democratic party has only eighty five more electoral votes to get to put their candidate into of flee. And they have all the states that I have just named that will support the democratic party just as surely as Ala bama will.
 ONE GREAT ISSUE
 '"The League of Nations has been the greatest political issue that has been brought before the public in years. and I firmly believe that Senator Harding, by declaring himself against the League of Nations in any manner, has been the main cause of the sudden interest that has been taken in it.
 Many republican newspapers are supporting Governor Cox and the League of Nations, and that is another thing that is new in political history The Chicago Tribune in firm in it's support of ex-Senator J. Hamilton Lewis, democratic candidate for gov ernor of Illinois, while other news papers are keeping quiet about tho presidential election in their editorial columns, but their news stories show the drift of public opinion is in favor of the League of Nations.
 When Governor Cox is elected Presi- = dent of the United States, he will not be faced with the possibility of fight ing Q republican Senate. New York, Connecticut New Jersey, New Hamp- shire, Ohio. Indiana and Utah will elect at least one democratic senator while there Is strong possibility of the same thing occurring in Missouri"
