The original constitution In the hand

the priceless gems in the Historical So

selves for the laudable purpose Of ar
resting thieves and murderers and re-
covering stolen property, do pledge
ourselves on our sacred honor each to

will reveal no secrets. violate no laws

court and jury and executed on Dec. 81

MRS. W|LLEbRANDT
GIVES FINAL TALK
Declares Prohibition Is En-
shrined in Hearts of All
Religious Leaders,.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, November 3.-In a
final campaign speech delivered here
tonight, Mabel Walker Willebrandt
Assistant Attorney General, declared
prohibition to- be a policy enshrined in
the hearts of religious leaders of all de-
nominations, Catholic as we'll as Prot
estant. She asserted that "the mod
ern prohibition movement began in
Ireland in the middle Of the last CEN
tury with Father Mathew" and that
mot only have the great Protestant
leaders followed in his footsteps, but all
the spiritual leaders of his church In
modern times have championed his
cause"
Applying the statements to the pres
ent campaign, she said that the Ameri-
can citizen, 1.-The most tolerant one on
earth" would demonstrate loyalty
to prohibition as deep-seated as his re-
ligious convictions themselves, and
bring about the election of Herbert
Hoover.
1.-The prohibitionist has been perse-
cuted and pilloried by every precocious
or unprincipled editor in America" she
concluded, land taunted and insulted
by the very leaders of the Democratic
party itself. And because he has stood
his ground he is called to task by a
shallow intelligentsia and those who
hurl the epithet of bigot for political
effect.
Loyalty to prohibition is not dis
loyalty to the Catholic Church, as the
politicians whisper but loyalty to God
America, humanity and the great
Catholic leaders who conceived 1t and
fought to make it a blessed reality"

cent of their normal strength on ac-
count of Smiths religion. This Is a
Democratic estimate and the leaders
of the party hope to make up the loss
by some switching Of wet Republicans
to Smith.
La Toilette polled heavy vote in this
section il 1924. The Democrats think
they u5ii get at least half of this vote
for Smith this year.
%x-Judge William c. Walsh of the
Maryland Court Of Appeals, who Is the
spokesman for the organization of Gov
Ritchie in Allegany County, said: THE
Republicans expect to carry the county
this year by $500, but I do not think
their ma ajority will go that high. I think
we can hold them to 5000 or even 5000
majority"
Democrats Opinions.
Confidentially several Democratic
leaders in this city, who are in close
touch with the situation in Western
Maryland, expressed the opinion that
Zihlman could not lose the district un-
less there was a big Democratic up
heaval."
And there is no sign of anything
like that now," said one of them.
Col. Nelson w. Russler, chairman OF
the Republican State central committee
for Allegany County, exudes confidence.
"Zihlman will carry the district by
the largest majority he ever received"
declared Col. Russler to The Star cor
respondent. I'm Allegany County I
think the Hoover majority will reach
$500, and Hoover will carry the sixth
congressional district by about $4,000
majority, not counting Montgomery
County. The only thing which. In my
opinion. could change tniSs outcome
would be some unexpected currence

Total Put at 267 by
Eastern Chairman.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 3.-Senator
George H. Moses Of New Hampshire,
chairman of the Eastern advisory COM
mittee of the Hoover Curtis campaign,
made public today his calculation of
election results, showing a victory for
Herbert Hoover.
"Mr. Hoover has 267 electoral votes
which cannot be taken from him except
by a miracle" said a statement by Sem
ator Moses, land the age of miracles
came to an end at Houston when a
Southern Democracy permitted Gov.
Smith to be nominated"
The Senator figured that altogether
Hoover would have 400 votes in the
electoral college as a result OF Tues
days election. In addition to 26 States
which he said Hoover was certain to
carry, he predicted the Republican
sin, New York, Kentucky, Massachu-
setts, Nebraska, New Mexico, Rhode
Island, Tennessee and Maryland.
He listed as the States Hoover was
certain to carry. California. Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware. Idaho, Illinois,
Indiana. Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michi-
gan. Minnesota. Nevada, New Hamp-
shire, New Jersey, North Dakota. Ohio,
Oklahoma, oregon. Pennsylvania,
South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Wash
lngton. West Virginia and Wyoming.
This election is over" said the
statement. 1T has been over since
the nominations were made. The coun-
try made up its mind following the
Houston convention, and 1t Is not to
be diverted on Tuesday"

M 'ADOO PRESERVES
PARTY ALLEGIANCE
Wires His Attitude to Geor'
gia Editor-0pposed to
Smith Wet Stand.

By the Associated Press.
AUGUSTA, Ga, November 3.-Wil-
liam G. McAdoo will preserve his party
allegiance in the presidential election
Tuesday, he said today in telegram to
Thomas ]. Hamilton, editor OF the Au-
gusts Chronicle.
The telegram. which was in reply to
one from Mr.. Hamilton. said
Replying to your telegram, am
absolutely opposed to Gov. Smiths posi-
ton on prohibition and the eighteenth
amendment, but shall preserve my
party allegiance. Am making same re-
ply to similar inquiry from Stovall."
Pleasant A. Stovall, editor Of the
Savannah Press, had sent similar in
quiry to Mr.. McAdoo.
Democratic leaders in the South read
of Mr.. McAdoo's telegram with much
interest. Georgia was one of the
Stanch supporters of McAdoo in the
famous battle he waged with Gov.
Smith for the Democratic presidential
nomination at Madison Square Garden
in 1924 This and other Southern
States were among the numbers who
voted for McAdoo for 100 ballots.
Long before the Houston convention
Mr.. McAdoo announced that he would
not be a candidate for the nomination
this year. The telegram made public
today by Mr. Hamilton is the first politi-
cal announcement since that time that
has come from the former Secretary of
the Treasury. .-t
Editors Hamilton and Stovall were
warm supporters of McAdoo in 1924

Georgia and were delegates at large to

HESSE EXPLAINS
VOTING OF POLICE
Superintendent Corrects En-
roneous impression of EIec-
ton Day Order.

Mai. Edwin B. Hesss, superintendent
of police, yesterday hastened to correct
an erroneous impression gained by many
members of the force to the effect that
recent police order would prevent
them casting their ballots on election
day.
The order which was posted in the
various police stations read: Except in
cases of extreme emergencies no leave OF
absence will be granted on Novem-
ber g."
Maj. Hesse told The Star that the
order was not intended to deprive any
policeman from voting in nearby Mary
land or Virginia If he has that privilege.
So far as he had been advised, Maj.
HeSse stated, no member of the force
would be deprived of his right to vote.
Policemen living in Maryland and
Virginia, he explained, are expected to
arrange their tours of duty so that they
will be given an opportunity to cast
their ballots and return in time for duty
at night. Other members Of the force
having the right to vote in distant
States have voted by mail.
200 on Force Vote.
1t Is roughly estimated that more than
200 members of the police force in
Washington enjoy the right of franchise
Anticipating the necessity for tncreas-
ing the force In the downtown section
on election night, Mai Hesse issued the
order to refuse leaves of absence next
Tuesday. Handling Of these crowds
will require force of LOT policemen III
addition to Maj. HeSse and several o:
his commanding officers. It is the in
tention Of the superintendent of police
to be on the scene as late as extra Serv-
ice on the streets is necessary.
Suggestions to AutOists.
It is realized by Maj Hesse that traf-
fic conditions probably will not be the
best, arlC it Is suggested that owners
and esner drivers of cars may benefit
by parking their cars some distance
from where the crowds on the streets
will be greatest.
In all probability. Maj. Hesse will
arrange several detours to avoid the
possibility of drivers endeavoring to get
through congested places at the pos
sible expense of human life. Should
definite information as the result of the
election be delayed until long after mid
night Maj. Hesse will have to call out n
relieving squad. and to do this, he stated,
it will be necessary for him to have the
benefit of the services Of every avail
able man.

DEMOCRAT CLAIMS
CONGRESS CONTROL
Gain of 80 to so Seats Is
Predicted by 0IdfieId for
list Session.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November "a gain
of not fewer than 80 and possibly as
many as go in the Democratic member
ship Of the House of Representatives in
next Tuesdays balloting was predicted
In a statement issued today by Repre-
sentative William A. Oldf1eld, chairman
Of the Democratic national congress
Sional committee.
This would mean Democratic control
of the House of the Seventy-first Con-
gress by a margin of not fewer than TO-
and possibly as many as so votes.
Chairman Oldfleld said that his FORE
cast was based on reports from ''reli-
able sources" and from every section OF
the country.
In the East" the statement read In
part, "the enormous popularity Of Gov.
Smith, our candidate for President, Will
help carry many Democratic candidates
for Congress to victory. In the agricul-
tural sections we are certain to win
many districts on the farm issue. In
such agricultural States as Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas. Minnesota and the Da-
kotas there Is a deep conviction that
only by the election Of Democratic
administration can the farm issue be
solved satisfactorily to the farmers.
Farm States Forecast.
MY information is that we will gain
anywhere from IL to 20 Congressman
in the farm States I have mentioned.
We also expect to make gains in the
far Western States, notably Utan, Ne
vada, Oregon and Washington.
"On the other hand, there is no rea-
son why we should lose single con-
gressional district now represented by
a Democrat. This is true even in the
border States of the South. While 1t
has been admitted that some Demo-
Gratis oppose Gov. Smith on the prohi-
bition issue or possibly may even refuse
to vote for him because of his religious
faith it Is we'll known that this oppoSi-
ton does not extend to Democratic
candidates for Congress.
THE remarkable popularity OF Gov.
Smith in ordinarily Republican States
like Pennsylvania, Illinois and MaSsa-
chusetts will help our candidates for
Congress tremendously, and In the
estimate Of turnover of not fewer
than 80 districts have been extremely
conservative. For instance, in the New
England States, I have included turn
over of only four districts in estimating
a net gain of 80, whereas 1t is more
likely we will gain seven or eight
Explains Figures.
II am claiming in this minimum es-
innate of 80 a net gain Of only two in
New York and of only six in Pennsyl-
vania, whereas it is more likely we
will gain 10 or IL. I am only including
In this estimate three in Illinois, where
we are more than likely to gain half
dozen or more. And so on through the
remainder of the States.
Even in the district of the Repub-
lican floor leader of the House. Repre-
sentative John @. Tilson of Connecti-
cut, the Republicans are in a state OF
alarm. and there is an even chance
that Mr.. Tilson will be defeated"
