The road will lead to . point

The road will lead to . point
directly under the lower cliff
dwelling. When the new road
is completed, the Tonic Cliff
Dwellings, it is believed, will be
probably the only point Of arch
geological interest Of its kind
any where in the United States
which is accessible by automo
bile, without long and weari
some walks or horse back rides.
Ia the past, visitors to the
Tonic dwellings have been faced
with the necessity of three
quarter mile walk from the high.
way in order to view the inter
esting old relics Of q prehistoric
race.
Although the road is being
built by the Southern Pacific
company primarily for its sys
tenn of motor bus tours over the
Apache trial. it will be open to
all tourists travelling along the
trail by automobile and others
wishing to view the ruins. Mr..
Mcclure announced.
When the road is completed, !,
the Southern Pacific buses will
bear their passengers directly to
the Cliff Dwellings. which was
impossible in the past. due to
the absence of the road.
The inclusion of the trip to
the cliff dwellings in the Apache
trail trip will form one Of the
most unusual tourist detours
! any where, it is believed.
The opening of the new direct
road to the cliff dwellings will
prove q great drawing card in at.
tracing additional thousands OF
tourists each year over the scenic
Apache Trail, Mr.. Mcclure pre-.
dicted.
He pointed out that the expect
ed large increase in the number
! of passengers taking the Apache
Trail trip by the bus system
would be of consequent value to
Phoenix, since this city is the
starting point of the trip.
! The company also has engag
ed a native Indian to serve as
custodian of the cliff dwellings.
The Indian custodian will De
garbed in native costume. he
will furnish information to tour
lists and visitors and prevent
any part of the cliff houses from
being damaged or carried off BY
overzealous souvenir hunters.
The detour from the Apache
Trail to the cliff dwellings will
be included in the Trail trip with
out additional cost to passengers

BOTH PARTIES
CLAIM VICTORY
ON NOVEMBER 6
Leaders Predict Amount
of Electoral Vote For
Smith and Hoover.
BY CARL D. GROAT
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-"Vic-
tGry' claims for next weeks presi-
Dental election were in full swing
today
Both candidates have made their
own prediction of victory, and both
headquarters claim to be confident
of success.
The Republican national commit
tee privately claimed last week a
"basic minimum - of 30l electoral
votes for Hoover, and indicated to-
day it might make a public estimate
over the weekend. Some within the
committee Indicated today the trend
probably would be to reduce the or
iginal estimate to a minimum claim
of from 275 to 28j.
Chairman Raskob of the Demo-
cratic National Committee declared
yesterday in New York, on the basis
of national committeeman reports,
that Smith would have cat least -
268 votes two more than necessary
for election. Raskob many weeks
ago estimated Smith would have 309
, electoral votes.
Neither committee has revealed
details of how it arrives at its elec-
toral totals. One possible combinac
tion by which Hoover could receive
301 votes would be for him to win
California, Colorado, Delaware, Ida
no, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Neva-
da, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Wash
ington, West Virginia, Wyoming,
Maryland, Rhode Island, Tennessee
and Kentucky. In some of the states
named above, both sides claim vic
tory and the list is not intended as
other than a mere tabulation of a
group that would yield 301 votes if
they all went for Hoover.
Another Combination
The same applies to the following
possible combination for Smith, yield
ing a 26S total if he were to win
/ all named:-
The southern states of Alabama
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louis
lana, Mississippi, North Carolina
South Carolina, Texas and Virginia
together with Maryland, Massachu
setts, New York, Missouri, Montana
Nebraska, Tennessee, Wisconsin
Kentucky, Rhode Island, Connecti-
cut and Arizona.
The campaign closes with both
parties waging bitter and apparent
" close fights in Missouri, New
York and Massachusetts-a group
with 81 votes. What might be term
cd secondary, though sharply contest
ed, backgrounds are Tennessee
Kentucky, Wisconsin, Oklahoma
New Jersey, Rhode Island, Montana
and Connecticut with total elector-
al vote of rs.
