WINDING UP TODAY

Washington, Nov. (By the A. P.)
The great American political class
ic of 1924 is approaching its day
OF decision in shower of sharp
words and a fog of rival predic-
tions.
In its final stages it has brought
into play all the old familiar strate-
gems, modernized 20 fit an age Of
radio, movies and senatorial inves-
legations and laid out on new
scale to appeal to every remote SUBJ
division of the ever-growing Amer
lean electorate.
The last day of active campaign
ing finds most of the principals
east of the Mississippi, seeking ad-
'ant;.lse IN sector long regarded
as almost dominant. Meantime in
every nook and corner of the Re-
public lesser lights are shining
their brightest to guide The feet of
the wavering voter along the path
way of party rectitude.
Keeping to policy adopted at the
inception Of the campaign, President
Coolidge alone among the candidates
for the highest office will remain
outside the rushing maelstrom Of
oratory that heralds to the world
another prediction Saturday night.
While the New York Democracy is
rallying to hear John w. Davis con-
clude his platform campaign in Car
negie Hall tonight and Senator La
Toilette is summing up his case
against the old parties in convention
hall at Cleveland, Mr.. Coolidge ex-
pected to remain quietly at home IN
the White House, spectator with
front seat beside the quiet Poto.

A Radio Address
But Monday night the President
will deliver final election eve mess-
age to the American people by radio
speaking after Mr.. Davis has like
wise addressed the great invisible
jury of sovereign voters through .
nationwide system of broadcastinG
stations.
Charles G. Dawes, who has borne
the brunt of the forensic battle fer
the Republican ticket, will close his
campaign tonight at South Bend, In
diana. after having followed his FAM
Gus dippcr pipe across many states.
Governor Charles w. Bryan will
wind up in his home state of Ne
braska after a speaking trip that has
taken him over much Of the western
country where the name of Bryan for
many years has been a political in
stitution. Senator Wheeler, the only
nominee of any of the three tickets
to carry his campaign all the way to
the Pacific Coast, will conclude IT
with a night meeting at the Atlantic
Seaboard-in New York City.
All Optimistic
From all three camps today there
issued the usual prediction express
sions of absolute satisfaction and
unbounded confidence. Each group
insisted most emphatically that its
particular candidate had not been
weakened by evidence produced be-
fore the Senate campaign fund inves-
quite convinced that the casualties
among the opposition would be
heavy. Meantime the committee
members, having adjourned their
hearing both in Washington and Chi
cago, assembled here to draft state
ment for submission to voters before
election day.
With the three-cornered president
ial fight filling the eye of the nation,
the congressional campaign has had
to take a back-seat from the start
and seems likely not to come into
its own in the way of national at
tention until the returns begin to roll
in Tuesday night. Interest in it has
been further vocalized by variety
Of unusual bipartisan combinations
in respective states. What may be
the result of that tangle no one
seems able to predict. The Republi-
can and Democratic managers today
made their usual claims to over
whelmingly victory and the LaFoi-
lette leaders smilingly suggested that
which ever of the old parties secures
a paper majority the followers Of tho
Wisconsin Senator are sure to tight
en- their grip on the balance of pow.
er in the Senate and House.
Besides the entire membership Of
the House, 81 Senators are to be
chosen Tuesday, enough to upset the
present slender majority should the
tide of fortune turn to the Demo-
Gratis. Governors arc to be elected IN
