BINGHAM CITES
"FA|LURE" Of
2.75 BEER
3.2 Per Cent by Weight Held
Need to Bring Revenue;
Taste Called Essential

New complications arose in the
beer controversy today when
Senator Hiram Bingham (R0 Of
Connecticut, leading Senate wet
and authority on the subject, de-
clared that revenues from a tax
On 2.75 per cents beer would fall
far short of estimates of its advo-
Gates.
Senator Bingham said that
unless beer Of 32 per cent by
weight is permitted there will be
no sizeable income from tax.
Proponents of an assessment
on 2.75 beer would be extremely
disappointed, Senator Bingham
said, by the small amount Of reve.
nue. it would bring into the Treas
ury.
"Taste Tells"
He pointed out that such a
beverage would not be tasty
and that consumption would not
be sufficient to afford large
income.
Senator Bingham declared:
81 think it is time to point
out to advocates of q tax on
2.75 per. cent beer that they
will be extremely disappointed
in the revenues it would obtain.
Estimates are far in excess Of
amounts which would be real
ized.
ITO obtain BIS beer it is nee
esSary for brewerieS to cook the
beverage so as to reduce its al
cOhOlic content. This process
spOilS the taste Of the beer and
unless people can obtain
tasty beverage revenues from
taxation will be slight"
EASY ENFORCEMENT
Senator Bingham also pointed
out what he said was the error
in the popular belief that if a
2.75 per cent beer was legalized
it would be impossible for author
tiles to maintain a constant check
on the alcoholic content.
He said that forcing breweries
to keep within legal limits regard
ing alcoholic content was the
easiest task Of prohibition en-
forcement officers.

SAYS SANDERS

Women'S Vote to Put PreSi-
dent Across, Chairman
Claims; Cites Poll

CHICAGO, Nov. Z (I.N.S.).
The women's vote will prove
an important factor in re-elect-
ing President Hoover tomor-
row, Everett Sanders, chair
man of the Republican ma
tional committee. declared to-
day.
In a statement issued at the
party's national headquarters
here, Sanders claimed the Presi-
dent will capture a minimum Of
338 electoral votes.
He based his contention on the
trend of a national newspaper
poll during the last two weeks
in October. which. according to
the National Chairman gives the
President "a bedrock margin Of
victory Of 281 votes" He said:
Few women have voted for
these two weeks. Taking the
tabulated wOmen's vote, and
giving effect to q normal
wOmen'S vote Of AZ per cent of
the total vote, President Hoover
would have q safe margin of
2S1 electoral votes, whereas
only 266 are necessary to elect.
"The votes cast during these
two weeks, with the wOmen'S
vote projected to a normal AZ
per cent, show President Hoover
would carry the following States
with their corresponding elec-
tOral votes:
Colorado, 6; Connecticut, 8;
Illinois, 20; Indiana, ID; Iowa,

CAMPAIGN ENDS
!. TODAY IN FIRE
Of ORATORY
Both Nominees in Last Stand
As All Signs Point to
Democrats Triumph
By GEORGE r. HOLMES

NEW YORK, Nov. Z
QN.S. S.).-With every surface
indication pointing to Demo-
cratic victory, the presidential
campaign was whooped to a
close today by battalions of
orators in every State.
At their head were the prin-
cipals themselves. Nothing could
better illustrate the intensity and
effort of this campaign than the
fact that President Hoover chose
to spend the last day fighting
vigorously in the Far West, while
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt elected
to make a final whirlwind tour
of the Hudson River Valley.
Tonight both will go on the
air and address countrywide audi
ences in an effort to get out the
vote.
Record Vote Expected
Unless all signs fail, it will be
the largest vote ever cast in an
American election. Nearly A..
100000 people are eligible to
vote and have signified their in
tention of doing so by registering.
Probably 10000, 900 of them will
enter the booths.
It has been, and continues to
be in the final hours, a most
unusual campaign, one perhaps
without parallel in the political
history Of the nation.
Never before have the Ameri-
can people gone about the quad
rennial business of electing a
President at a time when more
than 100000 eligible voters
were out of employment and
more or less suffering.
Never before has a presidential
election been held at a time
when the great basic commodities
Of the country-wheat, corn, live
stock and cotton-are at the low
est prices within the memory
Of man.
Democrats Confident
Never before has the nation
gone to the polls in a national
election when there has been
more unrest, more dissatisfac-
ton, more social disturbance,
actual and potential.
That these factors will enter
into and weigh heavily in the
outcome goes without saying.
To the exuberant and confident
Democrats, they spell victory to-
morrow in the election of Gov
ernor Roosevelt. To apprehensive
and troubled Republicans, they
constitute an ominous forewarn-
ing Of defeat.
But the Republicans remain
doggedly hopeful. They cannot
forget that the country is nor
mally Republican by six or seven
million; that President Hoover
has waged campaign more Wig
orous than any president ever
Waged, and that political prog
noSticationS have been knocked
into a cooked hat before.
Women, Hoover Hope
Nor can they forget that four
years ago Mr.. Hoover was elected
largely by the woman-vote of the
country. And it is their hope that
this woman-vote will again assert
itself in his behalf tomorrow.
The claims made by both sides
are, OF course, extreme.
Genial Jim" Farley, the Demo-
cratic national chairman, would
not today concede "a single
State" to President Hoover.
When one takes into account
such traditional Republican
strongholdS as Maine, Vermont,
Pennsylvania, Kansas, Iowa, and
Utah, his claim goes beyond be.
ing merely extreme. Yet, he Stub
bornly insists upon it, and even
gravely argues its plausibility.

The Districts creep forward by
inches, while the goal of the Daily
Worker Emergency Fund is miles
away. A total Of about $3.50 came in
yesterday, from all over the coun-
try. This will have to be at least

its quota, All the other districts,
taken together, have sent in only
about half Of New York's total.
Detroit, for example, the district
that Is second to New York, has sent
in only $3o7. A good feature of this
sum, however, is that it represents
gain of $50 over the day before.

THE POLITICAL
CHARACTER OF
TRADE UNIONS

Wherever and whenever the
workers attempt TO unite their
forces, the first form such unity
assumes is that of a coalition.
Large-Scale industry assemblies a
mass Of persons in one locality,
persons who have known nothing
of one another. Competition dis
unites them. But in order to keep
up wages--an interest they have
In common and one which is in
conflict with the boss-the workers
unite TO resist any attempt at a
cut, they form coalition Such
a coalition has a twofold aim:
to lessen competition among the
workers; and to concentrate the
whole strength of the workers In
their combat with the capitalists.
The first aim may appear to be
nothing more than an endeavor
TO uphold the level Of wages. Yet
on closer inspection we find that
to the degree the capitalists join
forces In order to repreSs the
workers, SO the various coalitions,
Of workers tend TO become groups;
and, In view Of the solidarity
among the capitalists, the main
tenance Of these unified groups
becomes, In the eyes Of the workers
who have formed them, even more
important than the maintenance
of the wage-level. So true is this,
that, to the extreme surprise Of
the English economists, the work
ers sacrifice considerable portion
Of their wages in order to provide
funds for the unions which, ac-
cording to the same economists.
were founded only to protect
wages! In the course of these
struggles veritable civil war--an
elements Of the coming battle are
being united. Herewith coalitions
reach the point where they as
