SEN. ROBINSON
ASTONISHED ON
NORTHWEST TRIP
BY GORDON SHEARER
United Press Staff Correspondent

BOISE, Ida, Oct. 17.-UneXpected
receptions in Oregon and Idaho have
left Senator Joseph T. Robinson,
Democratic nominee for vice presi
dent, frankly puzzled. While it is
not reasonable to expect Democrat
ie victory in the normally strong
Republican territory visited this
week, the crowds that came to sta
tions and demanded political discus
sions have shown that interest in the
election is greater than in many
years.
AS his train came through Oregon
yesterday, numerous men told Sen
ator Robinson that they were going
to vote Democratic for the first
time. One Republican wished Rob
inson well but added that he never
would vote for the Democrats.
81 hope you stay in Oregon
then,' Robinson replied with a
laugh.
Senator Robinson is fully CON
weed that the popular vote will be
larger than four years ago. He pre-
diets also that there will be more
independent voting than ever before.
