Roosevelt Plurality of 100000 Votes
Predicted by Final Count in Digest Poll

into RooSevelt's tremendous lead.
Thomas percentage is 4.84.
The only states listed in the
Roosevelt column in which the vote
is close are New York, Kansas,
Colorado and Delaware.
If Hoover carries all seven of the
states listed for him in the Digest
count, if he upsets predictions and
carries the four above-named Roose-
welt states, and if he also wins in
Pennsylvania, Iowa and Michigan,
states which the Republicans claim
confidently. despite the Digests re-
port Of preponderant Roosevelt SEN
timent therein, he will get total
electoral vote of 1873.
Since 266 electoral votes are
necessary to win, Hoover would have
to win also an additional bloc Of
populous states, such as California,
Illinois, Ohio and Indiana-where
the Digest count gives Roosevelt a
STOP edge.

CLOSE your eyes and remain in

Step on chair five times in

effect of exertion.
Close one eye and still see dis

ABOARD PRESIDENT HOOVER'S
TRAIN, Nov. 4.-President Herbert
Hoover today called upon the nation
as Abraham Lincoln did during the
Civil war, to support his plea fo1
rejection.
While his train still sped across
the Illinois prairies, which Lincoln
knew so well, Mr.. Hoover made pub
lie the text of the speech he is de-
llvering this afternoon at Sprin-
field, where the Civil war President
is buried.
The Presidents Springfield ad-
dress practically compared the plight
of the Union during the Civil war
with the condition of the country
today. He. said the nation had rail-
lied to Lincoln when the tide turned
and asked the voters to rally to
his support at the polls in like man
ner next Tuesday.
A vociferous crowd of $4,000 per-
sons, the largest of President Hoo
ver's present swing into the mid
lands, rushed his train when it
pulled into the busting industrial
city of Gary, Ind, earlier today.
Gateway Plaza Is Packed
So inSistent and continuous were
the cheers that the Presidents re-
marks on the tariff and farm re-
lief were drowned out except for
those standing next to him on the
elevated railway platform from
which he spoke at Gary.
A flying wedge of police, troops
and secret service men was neces-
sary to force way for the PreSi-
dent and Mrs. Hoover from the
train steps to the edge of the plat
form.
Below, Gateway plaza was packed
to capacity. 1T seemed there were
two square blocks full of people.
President Hoover reviewed the
stand he took on the tariff and farm
problems in his speech at Des
.A1oines, Ia, but the crowd elected
to cheer every few words rather
than listen.
Both Mr.. Hoover and Mrs. Hoover
seemed in fine spirits, as they have
been since leaving Washington on
this trip.
The train paused at Gary seven
teen minutes, from until GIT a. m.
1t pulled out to pillows of cheers
and the blare of a big band.

Senator James E. Watson of In
diana led delegation of Repub-
ican leaders who greeted the Pres

A number of Illinois leaders got

chairman of the Republican state
central committee; State Senator
Richard ]. Barr. General William
Nathan McChesney, chairman of
the national Hoover Curtis organ
ization, and Mr.. and Mrs. Silas H
Strawn of Chicago.
Another irrepreSsible crowd,
numbering some 5000 surged around
the train when it stopped at Ores

Chicago at GAS a. m.

analogy, Mr.. Hoover's Springfield

1t is more likely, however,
that a majority Of these seven
states will be found in the
Democratic column, with the
prospect that Hoover's cleo
toral total may drop as low as
seventy-fve.
Despite the apparent certainty
of a debacle for the Grand Old
Party, drama of desperation colors
the closing days of the campaign.
The President, breaking all tradi-
tions that clothe his office in an
atmosphere of political restraint, is
making transcontinental dash to
the coast in a single handed move
to escape defeat.
More Warming of Weeds
He will warn again of weeds aris-
ing through the pavements and the
crash of the republic if he is de-
feated.
But even nature, which so often
has rescued the Republican party
in November, although summer
suns had shone brightly on the
Democrats, seems to have turned
against Mr.. Hoover
His warnings may be Offset by
record low prices for wheat and
corn in the territory through which
he is travelling. The same down
ward turn of the economic wheel
may mitigate the effect of AL
Smiths Newark address assailing
drys and 1923 "bigots."
And it is on these two factors
that the President has rested his
hope of retrieving the insurgent
west.
Democrats Are United
Meanwhile, the Democrats have
united their forces and modified
their illustrious figures as never be-
fore. Besides putting those COM
rades-in- arms-Roosevelt and Smith
against the Republican phalanx,
the Democrats have enlisted such
personalities as Newton D. Baker,
Senator Carter Glass, Owen D.
Young and Governor Albert G.
Ritchie of Maryland.
The anti-Hoover barrage and
drurnfire rivals any political assault
delivered since Woodrow Wilson
averted seeming defeat by Charles
Evans Hughes almost on election
day dawn.
Writing in the grip of prospec-
tive defeat, veteran Republican sem
ators like Sunny jim" Watson Of
Indiana, Reed Smoot of Utah, and
George Moses of New Hampshire
are sparing no efforts in these last
days.
In Indiana the Republican state
committee has implored ministers to
keep open their churches next Sum
day in a day of prayer and sermon
against the return of the saloon.
Club Their Employees
Many employers are sending out
letters and filling pay envelopes
with warnings that their workers
should support the Republican
ticket, from Hoover down.
The campaign is closing in an at
of bitterness rivaling the
religious intensity of four years ago.
New and unknown factors mark
the struggle, but most Of them are
adverse to the Republicans-So ad-
verse that forecasts of Democratic
victory in all but two or three states
are advanced in some quarters.
AS against the fifteen states with
TIA electoral votes allotted to Hoo
yer in the above estimate, there is
a good prospect he may face flood
of antagonistic ballots in many of
these states.
Late reports give support to
Democratic claims that they may
carry such normally Republican
