HOOVER GOES TO MINNESOTA
 ON VOTE DRIVE
Renews Plea that Republi. can Economic Poli-
 cies Be Sustained

ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 7.-In his address here last Saturday night, President Hoover asserted t h Democratic Party is seeking to play upon discontentment and res- orting to the oldest trick in pol- tics by stimulating protest vote. ,
 In his campaign drive into Min nesota, the President renewed his plea that the Republican economic policies be sustained. He declared Democratic victory Tuesday will mean that "at least one year must elapse before the Democrats could validate promises and new deal. J
 Lack Of Understanding
 The President asserted the Dem- ocratic chieftains have demonstra- ted their lack of understanding o1 the real situation with which the government must deal. He further declared the Nation would collapse under the Democratic program and enumerated 21 measures adopted by the Republican Administration as bringing increasing evidences of the economic recovery.

Al Smith Declares C. o. P. Now Tn Panic, Facing
 Complete Collapse


 NEW YORK Nov. '. Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic nominee for President, closed his campaign last Saturday night with a call on all classes of citizens tc rally behind the Democratic Party to help bring America ito better days"
 Gov. Roosevelt said the doctrine Of present day Democracy has al ready been outlined in a series of speeches and tonight we set the seal upon that program After Tuesday we will go forward to the great task of its accomplishment and We trust to it's fulfillment.
 One Great Principle
 There can be only one great principle to guide our course in the coming years. We have learn ed the lesson that extrayagant ad- vantage for few, ultimately de- pressed many"
 Gov. Roosevelt said the hopes and ambitions that have struggled for realization on the farms, in the cities, in the factories, among business men and in the home, have been found at length on the common meeting ground of the Democratic program.
 Al Was There Too
 The Governors appearance with Al Smith formally closed the door on the Democratic campaign. It was climaXed with wild flag-wav- ing and a series of demonstrations in an old-fashioned Tammany rally.
 Former Governor Smith said the Republicans, after this long black night of sorrow and sickness and stress of storm, making no account of their stewardship, are in a panic. They now find themselves facing complete collapse and they hand up campaign of fear, threat and 1ntlmlddtlOn.
 Nc Accounting Possible
 Smith said the record failed to show the Republican Party will be able to give an account of dts stewardship for the last four years.
 What is before the House at this hour is the accounting of that stewardship which is a complete paralysis of agriculture, business, industry and nationwide unemploy- ment, but the people Tuesday will put the government into the capa- ble hands of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, John Nance Garner and Democratic Congress"

 Report of Digest Poll

 Some States Close
 Regarding the chances of some of the Roosevelt States going to Hoover the Digest said:
 And then, of course, there's an- other side to the picture. There are some close States in the Roose- velt column and in these last days of the campaign the Hoover forces are making prodigious efforts to win them over while the Roosevelt forces are making equally prodig- ious efforts to hold them.
 New York is close. So are Kan sas, Colorado and Delaware. The Republicans profess great confi- dence they will win some import ant States by their whirlwind cam- paign of recent weeks and they expect especially, they say, to car ry Pennsylvania in spite of the Digest poll. However, as this issue goes to press with the final re- turns, we know of no reason why the poll should go very far astray in the figures and percentages from Pennsylvania.

DIMOND CALLS W|CKERSHAM ON
 GAME MEMORIAL
Challenges D ele g ate for Saying He Voted for
 Present Game Law

Challenging the truth of Dele gate Wickersham's assertion, made in his seech here on October 28, that he had voted for resolu- ton in 1923 approving the present Alaska Game Law and urging it's passage, Senator Anthony J. Di- mond, in a telegram to The En- pore today, accuses the Delegate of coloring the record and failing to state the case truthfully.
 The Democratic nominee who is now in Ketchikan knew nothing oi the charge made by Wickersham until he received a copy of The Empire of October 29, containing a report of the Delegates local address.
 Text of Denial
 Senator Dimond's wire follows
 'In the report in your paper of Delegate Wickersham's speech he says I voted for memorial ask ing for the enactment of the pres ent Alaska Game Law
 The Memorial in question is House Joint Memorial No. 12, of the Session of 1923. In this me- morial express provision was re- quired for election of the members ot the Game Commission to be created and the memorial would not have passed without this pro- vision.
 For Territorial Control
 When this matter was under discussion in the Senate in 1923, I refused to vote for any memor- ial that did not provide for Ter ritorial control by election of the Game Commission by the people of Alaska"
 Senator Dimond also urged at that time that the Legislature ought to be empowered by Con-

Senator Norris Shows Up President as Friend
 of Utilities

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Nov IT. last Saturday, United States Sena- tor George w Norris, Republican Independent of Nebraska, renewed his attack on the power trust, in an address here in behalf of Gov Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic nominee for President.
 Senator Norris said he did not agrse 100 per cent with Gov. Roos- evelt's position on the public utility question but yet his position is so much better, so much faire1 and his ideas so much more logi- cal against monopohes, that his position from Hoover's is as the brightest sun at monday is diff ferent from the midnight darkness of eternal night.

A united Democratic Party, join ed by progressives of every shade of political creed, will sweep the national election in the voting to- morrow, declared James J.

Farley, Chairman of the party's National Committee, and chief strategist of the Roose- welt campaign.
 We will win a great victory on Tuesday and the result in nc small degree will be attributed tc the assistance you and other sin cere and active Democrats have rendered throughout this cam paign," said MT. Farley's tele. gram to Mir Connors.
 Outcome Is Certain

PRESIDENT HOOVER
 IN SALT LAKE CITY

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Nov. T Launching his semi-final cam- paign appeal, President Hoover as- serted in speech here today, that the Democratic Party has beer building up hate against me per sonally" to win votes. Hoover said the Democrats are making politics out of human misery and seeking to stimulate a protest vote against the Republican Party. He said he believed the Nation should restore silver to greater use ahd promised immediate relief to the sugar beet grower.
 The President declared he has used every means within his power for maintenance of peace amongst nations.

Roosevelt 1,715,789 votes; Al States with 474 electoral votes. Hoover 1,15O,398 votes; seven States with 57 electoral votes-

Such is the final report made public last Saturday of the fla nous Presidential poll of the Lit erary Digest for 1882, poll whose predecessors have been noted for ~uncanny accuracy"
 Presages Roosevelt Victory True to its time-honored policy, the Digest draws no conclusions from its facts, leaving that to others. However, it does make some pertinent and significant comments.
 Unless all signs fail, unless some unexpected, eleventh -hour condi- ton arises to reverse nationwide trend disclosed by this great mon- ument of freshly gathered statistics, the complete poll will be interpret ed by many practical men and wo- men of all parties as presage of a Roosevelt victory" it asserts.
 "M that practical judgment is borne out by the event, the Demo- cratic victory on election day will surely be a sweeping one. Let our arithmetfcal readers apply the Hoover and Roosevelt percentages to a popular vote approximating that of 1928-say, 36,000, 900 ,000- and they will see that possibilities disclosed by our vast samplying operations include what is popu- larly known as a landslide"
 The Hoover States
 The seven Hoover States indicat- led by the Digest's complete poll are: Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Massa- chusetts, Rhode Island and Yer mont. But the editors of the pub- lication are, apparently, not con- vinced that all of them will be found in the Hoover column Tues day.
 They freely admit that straw voting has it's limitations. Tt would be a miracle said the Di- gest, If every State of the 48 be- haved on election day exactly as forecast by the poll.
 Here we come to the important problem of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. These two States are in the Hoover column of the poll. They were also in the Hoo yer colmn of our 1928 poll, with stin larger Republican majorities, but both States were carried by Smith.
 History May Repeat Iteself
 History repeats itself, and that variation of our 1928 poll may happen again in 1882. We have boiled the two States in exactly the same way that we boiled them four years ago. A study of the returns, in relation to the official vote of 1928, and also to the bal lot declarations of how the same
 
 voters voted in 1928, convinced us that in those States are bal lots have somehow failed to come back in adequate quantity from large bodies of Democratic voters.
 For these reasons we consider that Massachusetts and Rhode Is- land may be expected to appear in the Democratic column on election night"
 Three Others Possible
 Nor are these the only States that the Digest editors think var iations from the final poll may occur. Continuing the Digest said:
 Tt is further possible that Con-

ALASKANS WILL VOTE TOMORROW FOR 26 OFFICERS
Voters of Territory March to Polls Tuesday Trend
 Is to Democrats

To elect a Delegate to Congress, Attorney General, Auditor, High way Engineer, Commissioner of Education, five members out of eight in the Territorial Senate and Q complete House of Representa- tives of 16 members, Alaskans to- morrow will exercise their right of franchise at the polls.
 A Territorial vote of some 14000 or more is indicated by the un- usual interest that has been ex- Inhibited throughout the Territory. While, as usual, campaign man. agers of both parties, and the solitary independent candidate, all express confidence in the results, it is generally conceded that the odds favor the Democratic ticket this year.
 National Trend Relecting
 The national trend of sentiment to the Democratic party probably is reflected on the same scale in Alaska. This is evidenced by the use that Democratic candidates have made of the national ticket in its campaign activities and the failure of the Republicans to link their Territorial ticket to Presi- dent Hoover even in the speeches of the candidates, newspaper ad- vertising and political circulars.
 Their attitude this year is direct ly opposite to that of four years ago when the local G. O. P. nom- mess rode along on the Hoover bandwagon. They have not adver- tised at least, their occupancy of a seat on it this year.
 Have Aggressive Campaign
 Harmony has prevailed in the Democratic ranks throughout the campaign. Headed by Senator An thony J. Dimond, nominee for Delegate to Congress. the party's candidates have campaigned ag- gressively in every Division, talk ing advantage of the bitter fric- ton that cropped out early in the Republican camp which a week ago developed into an open break be- tween Cash Cole, candidate for Auditor who is supporting William L. Paul, independent candidate for Attorney General, and Attorney General John Rustgard, seeking re- election after 12 years of tenure.
 MT. Rustgard's attack on MT. Cole last week in radio addresses at Anchorage, and the latter has retaliated in newspaper publicity and in personal campaigning.
 Indian Vote Uncertain
 Where the vote of the Southeast Alaska Indian organization will land, except in one or two instanc- es, is still a puzzle at this hour. In several speeches, its leader, William L. Paul, said it would not be made known until just before election. He hadn't said word on it up to this morning.
 There is one notable exception to this. He announced at the very outset of the campaign that Mir. Cole would be supported for Auditor. H. P. Hansen, one of

PARTY LEADERS EXPECT DIMOND
 TO WIN BY 2,500
Compilation of Reports from All Over Terri
 tory Made Public
PRESAGES SWEEPING
 DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
Party Chairman Informed Every Division to Give
 Democratic Majority

Easing his predictions on figures ceieved from every Division in the Territory, and which include every incorporated town, John w. Troy, Chairman of the Democratic Ter ritouial Committee, today declared that all indications point to Sena- tor Anthony J. Dimond defeating Delegate James Wickersham, Re- publican, for Delegate to Congress by at least 2,500 votes.
 Without excepulon, the Chair men of the Divisional Committees have submitted favorable final analyses of the campaign and pre- dictions of Democratic sweep of both Territorial and Dtvisionel elections" he announced. It seems to be a question, not of victory, but of the size of the party's ma- jority."
 Trend is Common
 It is apparent from the tele- grams received by the Chairman of the Territorial Committee dur ing the past 24 hours that the trend toward the Democratic tick ct is common to all parts of the Territory. It embraces the far north in the Second Division as well as the First Division and takes in the Third and Fourth in be- tween them.
 It applies to the Legislative can- didates as well as to the Delegate to Congress and Territorial Qffic- es. "Dimond will win and the other candidates with him." is in effect the statement made from all quarters.
 Expect Large Vote
 Perhaps there has Been no election in the rerritory's history that has attracted more interest throughout the Territory" MT. Troy said. "The vote tomorrow will unquestionably be large, probably setting a new record. And the Democratic majority will set an all-time record for Alaska"
 A compilation of the estimates received from all sources, MT. Troy declared, shows that Senator Di- monds majority, conserv ly placed, will not be less than 2,500 and may be considerably in excess of that figure. While the for the Territorial tick A. Boyle, Auditor, James s. Truitt, Attorney General, An- thony E. Karnes. Commissioner of Education, and William A. Hesse. Highway Engineer-may not reach the proportions of that for Senator Dimond, they are expected to be well within that range.
 First by 1000
 Careful polls of the First Divis- ions larger recincts and check up of the smaller ones convinces the Democratic Divisional Com- mittee that Senator Dimond will have a majority of approximately 1000 votes in it, MT. Troy has been informed.
 The Third Division. said reports to him today has also been pains- takingly boiled and it, too, will give the Democratic nominee for Delegate 1000 votes more than Wickersham.
 The Fourth Division advised the Territorial Chairman that Dimond

N. Y. ADMINISTRATION
 DISCUSSED BY HOOVER

MADISON Wis. Nov. 7.-Presi- dent Hoover, last Saturday after noon, hit out at Law Enforcement by the Administration of Gov Roosevelt in New York, telling a throng that he felt Roosevelt might have made a contribution to the solution of the gangSter problem. He declared that lawleSs- ness and crime has unquestionably grown in the country and declared himself against placing on tht Federal Government the burder of restraining law violations be- cause of failure of some states and municipalities.
 Ut seems the Governor of New York might have made contqibu- ton during the last three years to the solution of gang life under the great powers conferred and obligations bestowed by the con- stitutional laws of his own state. "
