st. Louis, Aug. 28.-(AP)-John
]. Raskob, chairman Of the Demo-
cratic national committee, today took
up the campaign problems Of eight
middlewestern states, four Of which
he characterized in IN election fore
cast as fighting ground" and four
as states certain to cast their. elec-
toral votes for Governor Smith.
Democratic leaders Of Missouri,
Illinois, Kentucky, Kansas, Oklaho-
ma, Nebraska, Tennessee and Iowa
were prepared to lay their problems
before the chairman in separate
state conferences today and tomor-
row, which will end in Z general
session Wednesday.
Raskob and many other Democrats
will depart Wednesday night for Hot
Springs. Ark, to attend the notifi-
cation ceremonies for Senator Joe T.
Robinson, vice-presidential nominee.
Claims 81 Votes
In formal statement, RaSkob
claimed Governor Smith would re.
ceive 800 Of the 63l electoral votes
with at least IN even chance Of
carrying states having Z total Of 80
additional votes. This would run the
Smith total to 347, or 81 more than
. majority.
'It is difficult to accurately fore.
cast the result Of IN election" Ras.
kob's statement said. II am very
sure, however, that with the infor-
nation at hand any reasonably pru.
dent business man would 1t this time
classify the following states, hav.
ing 500 electoral votes, II the
Smith Robinson column, namely:
Alabama II; Arizona, s: Arkan-

New Jersey IL; New Mexico 8; New

y; Oklahoma 10; Rhode Island s;
South Carolina 8; Texas 20; Virginia
~; Wisconsin 13; Tennessee 12.
Claims North Dakots
"ln addition there seems little
doubt but that Connecticut, Della
ware, Indiana, North Dakota, South
Dakota and Wyoming with . total
Of S8 votes, should also b classified
for Smith and Robinson, making .
total Of S47 votes, or 81 votes more
than the 266 necessary to . choice.
"This leaves states with 1e4 votes:
every one Of which is fighting
ground and there il good indication
that tho Democratic ticket will COR
raj over 100 Of these.
"Never has the outlook for the
Democratic party been better and I
prophecy that Smith and Robinson
will get the greatest popular vote
ever accorded . presidential candi-
date in the history Of our country"

100000 JOBLESS,
WAGNER DECLARES
Senator Takes Issue With Federal
StatiStics-Sponsors Bills
to Aid Unemployed.

Taking issue with the Department OF
Labor's estimate of 1,874,050 unem-
ployed persons in the United States,
Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New
York, told the Senate yesterday he
believes the number to be about
100000.
The Senator reviewed the unemplov-
ment problem in connection with the
introduction of two bills designed to
help correct the situation. He said he
had a third bill in course of prepara-
ton One bill would extend the service
OF the Bureau of Statistics to have it
account for employment figures on
building, agricultural, transportation,
retail and wholesale trade, manufac-
turing and mining. The second bill
would set up employment Offices
throughout the country through CO.
operation of the Federal and State gov
ernmentS. The bill being prepared
relates to advance planning of public
works.
There is only one permanent cure for
the unemployment evil and that is to
increase the purchasing power of the
masses, Edward Heating. editor of
Labor" stated yesterday at meeting
OF the Woman's National Democratic
Club.
More than 90 per cent of everything
produced in the United States is con-
Sumed at home. he told the women.
and therefore the country must rely
on the prosperity of the people and the
wages they receive to purchase their
own products and SO enlarge industry.
