Indiana.
Practically every gauge used in
determining trends indicates Demo-
cratic victory in Indiana, although
laSt-minute swing to President Hoover
has encouraged Republicans. Some
think if the result is close, Senator
Watson, Republican, may be re-
elected while others are equally con-
fident he will not run ahead of the
Republican presidential ticket.

Michigan.
A strong change of sentiment IA
voring President Hoover was re-
ported throughout Michigan last
week. Many think William A. Com
stock, Democrat. will draw a bigger
vote for Governor than Roosevelt
will get. There appears to be con-
viction among party workers that
the State will remain Republican.
Democrats cling to the belief they
will win, but there are fewer pre-
dictions of victory from that quarter
than a month ago

All signs point to Missouri re-
turning to the Democratic column
after an absence OF II years. Only
unforeseen developments can upset
this in spite of the recent trend to
President Hoover, who spoke in St.
Louis Friday night on his way to
California.
While the Republicans claim the
State, observers estimate Gov. Roose-
welt will win by from $500 to 100000.
There is an outside chance that
Roosevelt can win and the Re-
publicans still elect their cand-
date for Governor. E. H. Winter.

nominees. The total vote in Mis-

Wisconsin.
Opinion in Wisconsin seems to
have crystalliZed weeks ago, with
Roosevelt regarded as 3-to-2 IA
vorite. The conservative Repub-
lican, Walter j. Kohler, is still
given the edge for the governorship
over the Democrat, A. G.. Schmede-
man. Kohler defeated Gov Philip
La Toilette for the nomination in
the primary The senatorial race
between John B. Chapple, Republi-
can. and F. Ryan Duffy, Democrat,
is neck and neck.
A careful survey indicates that
Iowa will be in the Hoover column,
despite straw polls taken early in
October.
The senatorial race will be close
between Henry Field, Republican.
and Louis Murphy, Democrat. Sen
ator Smith W. Brookhart, who lost
the nomination to Field in the Re-
publican primary, is running as
Progressive. Field is given the ad-
vantage Gov Dan Turner. Repub-
lican. will be reelected In five of
the nine congressional districts the
races are close.
Nebraska.
Neutral observers give Roosevelt a
majority in Nebraska of between So
900 and $1,000. The battle will be
closer between Gov Bryan. Demo-
crat, and Dwight Griswold, Repub-
lican. Bryan is rated a winner by
about half of the Roosevelt margin.
The Democrats appear to be the win
ners in the first, third and fourth
congressional districts. There will
be close race. inclining to the
Democrats, in the second district
and another, favoring the Repub-
licans, in the fifth.
Oregon.
Political observers in both the
Roosevelt and Hoover camps are re-
ported as expecting oregon to slip
into the Roosevelt column, although
the leaders are claiming victory,

While it may seem optimistic to
claim Oregon for Roosevelt. observers
say it would be conservative to place
it in the doubtful class.

publican, is slated for reelection.

Kansas.
Republicans are counting on the
Women'S vote to insure the nine
electoral votes of Kansas for Hoo
yer and Curtis. If SIS per cent Of
the women vote for the Republican
ticket, as signs indicate, President
Hoover should carry the State by
safe margin. If not the race will
