TO ROOSEVELT
Landslide for Democrats
Predicted by Leading
Newspapers.
MAY BREAK RECORDS
New York Times Declares
Winners Electoral Vote
May Pass 400.
BY United Press

Sentiment of representative news
papers, as gathered by the United
Press, today predicted the election
of Governor Franklin d. Roosevelt
Tuesday. In several states news
papers, including two Republican
dailieS, concede the election to
Roosevelt on the basis of nation
wide surveys.
The Sun, independent Republican,
commented that 1T is possible that
Hoover may not have the electoral
votes of more than four or five
states"
The Evening Post, Republican, de-
clared Governor Roosevelt even
may sweep the country as COM
pletely as President Hoover himself
did in 1928" The Democratic nomi-
nee was credited with 1865 electoral
votes as probable.
Times See Roosevelt Victor
On the basis of survey, the
New York Times, Independent DEM
ocrat, declared, "the composite
opinion of nearly 200 usually we'll
informed political observers is that
Franklin D. Roosevelt will be elect
ed with from 400 to $50 electoral
votes" This paper believes Roose-
velt would carry at least thirty mine
states.
The Chicago Tribune, independ-
he hoc ic nf
patches from throughout the coun-
try, forecast election of Roosevelt,
probably by landslide vote" This
paper predicted Roosevelt was "des-
tined to receive not fewer than 367
electoral votes" with a possibility he
would obtain upward of $50.
The Boston Post, independent
Democrat, declared Governor
Roosevelt's election has been fore
cast clearly for weeks. The drive
Of President Hoover in the closing
moments of the campaign has not
peen without effect, but it is doubt
full if he has shifted more than
three or four states from the Roose-
welt moorings."
Close in Iowa
The Des Moines Register, indie
pendent Republican, predicted a
close vote in Iowa, but said bar
ring total misjudgment of the pro-
test vote, President Hoover should
carry Iowa by at least $4,000 votes.
That would be the smallest Repub-
lican margin in Iowa in forty
years"
The Portland (Me) Evening
News, independent, said Maine ZAP
parently is safe for President Hoo
yer by from $4,000 to 10000"
The Kansas City (Mo) Star, in
dependent, forecast that Missouri
will swing back into the Democratic
column with bang Observers are
convinced Governor Roosevelt will
sweep the state"
The Atlanta Constitution, Demo-
crat, said reports indicated "Roose-
velt's electoral vote will reach pro-
portions never obtained before by
a Democratic presidential candidate,
and his plurality may set a new
high record for both parties"
Landslide in Missouri
The Kansas City Journal Post,
Independent, said: 1.-THE swing to
Governor Roosevelt in Missouri has
reached the state of a landslide,
indications now pointing to his
sweeping the state by a minimum
of 100000 plurality over President
Hoover Tuesday"
The st. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer
Press Qnd. Rep today said that
Roosevelt's election by a comfort
able margin lis indicated by vir-
tually every political test ordinar-
lily applied in advance of the actual
election"

 The market made no response 10 President IooVer's special message to congress urging immediate ac- tion on his financial rehabilitation program which would include the reconstruction finance corporation. The street received this message as n constructive item, but inas- much as some move in this line had been anticipated it failed to in- fluence the market at this time.
 For a brief period in the late morning and early afternoon sell ing pressure frightened and some short covering brought prices up from their lows. This did not continue, however, and as the llst entered the fifth hour, prices were slipping back to their lowest levels of the major decline.
 Volume slackened from the early pace and tickers were barely nov ing around 2 D. m. Up to 1:3O sales totaled 1,100,000 shares, against 1 OO0. .OOO shares in the session last Thursday, the previous fiVe-hour day.

ACTIVITIES AT
 POSTOFFICE SITE
will Soon Be Ready for Final 0. K. Before Start=
 ing New Building
DIGGING FOR FOOTINGS

A score or more additional workmen joined in the activities on the site of the new postoffice building on Grand. street to-day While the steam shovel carried on it's work of raging the massive foundation walls and kept several trucks busy carrying away the debris, gang of men made eXca- vations for the "footings", or pile bases of the new building. It is understood that when they have completed this feature of the plan photographs will be taken of the scene and sent to Washington, D. C., for the final o. K. of the gov ernment's supervisor of buildings and chief architect.
 The remaining walls of the old building have given the Wrecking gang considerable opposition. It has been found necessary to dyna- mite them and to remove huge lengths of some, so firmly were they constructed.
 The signs of two additional com panies joined that today of Charles DeBisschop, who has had charge of the wrecking and excavating work. One sign is that of the Thomas Williams company of Wal lingford, which has the contract for erecting the forms. The J. F. Smith company of Waterbury, which is supplying the materials, is also represented in the display mo- tices.
 The work to date of erecting the new federal building is running well on schedule. The favorable weather, which has prevailed for the past month, has given the companies interested in the project a good break.

Animal That Bit Waterville Dog
 Killed In Newtown
Warden OLaughlin Finally Succeeds in Checking Up Wandering Canine's Career-Bit Dog Which Bit WatervilIe Woman-Thon1astOn Dog Under Sur- velance

After spending more than a week checking up complaints and tips Coleman O'Loughlin, Water- bury's commissioner on domestic animals, has finally succeeded in tracing the course taken by dog which was recently shot and killed in Newtown and which on exam ination was found to be suffering from rabies.
 The local wardens investigation in which Dr Edward J. Godfrey, health officer, became officially in- terested not only saved the life of Mrs Mary Unikas of Sheffield street, Waterville, who was eX- pected to take her final Pasteur treatment to-day, but has led to the quarantine of a dog sent here from Thomaston. The latter ani- mal attacked and bit a member of the family of Jacob Silver on Buckingham street. The dog was shipped back to Thomaston, Sat urday by orders of Warden OLoughlin and is now under ob- servation.
 Nearly two weeks ago mad dog passed through Bristol and Thomaston. It attacked a police dog owned by Mrs Unikas. The latter's canine becoming suddenly mad attacked Mrs Unikas and was shot. The carcass was buried without any formal report being made at once to the health au- thorities. When pr E. IT. Johnston was called to attend Mrs Unikas. Health Officer Godfrey was noti- fled. He had the remains of the dog exhumed and the head sent to Hartford for examination. The report was returned as case of positive rabies. Had the authori- ties failed to dig up the carcass 1t is possible that Mrs Unikas, con- dition would have been neglected until some serious developments took place.
 The dog responsible for the scare after passing through Water vile went over Huntingdon avenue way and attacked dog owned by Frank Gaylord. It made It's next appearance in Watertown, where
