NEW YORK, November Tn a
statement discussing tomorrow's vote
Senator Felix Hebert, Republican East
ern campaign manager, said last night
that "even If some of the States have
set down as doubtful were to be found
in the Democratic column, we are conf
dent that we shall have enough to in
sure the reelection Of President Hoo
ver."
He had listed as doubtful States
Idaho, Montana, California, Maryland
Washington. Missouri, Minnesota, New
Mexico. Nevada, Nebraska, North Da-
kota and Utah
From recent reports which have
been made to me by our campaign man.
ayers" Senator Hebert's statement said,
Il am justified in saying that the six
New England States, with an aggre-
gate of Al electoral votes, are safe for
President Hoover.
Sees ITO More Electoral Votes.
again basing my estimates upon
conditions in other parts of this section
of the country as they have been re-
vealed to me by the leaders, President
Hoover should carry New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania. Delaware and
West Virginia. These States will fur
nish total Of ITO electoral votes.
Ohio. Indiana. Illinois and Michigan
will be found in the Republican column.
They have an aggregate of 80 more
electoral votes. The definite trend dur
ing the past month makes these States
safe for the Republican cause.
kansas, Iowa, South Dakota and
Wisconsin are now concededly Repub-
lican and they will furnish SO electoral
votes
Colorado, Wyoming and Oregon, ac-
cording to close political observers
whose reports 1 have. are likewise safely
Republican. and with their IA votes
added to the total of the above We
shall have 289 votes favorable to the re-
election of President Hoover"
Saying the States he listed as doubt
full had a total of SO votes, Senator
Herbert Continued:
These, added to the 289 which con-
slider safely Republican would make a
total of 1872 favorable to our candidates.
But even if some of the States which
have set down as doubtful were to be
found in the Democratic column. we are
confident that We shall have enough to
insure the reelection of President
Hoover.
In my calculations" he said, II am
conceding to Gov. Roosevelt 10 South
ern States with an aggregate of 1l3
electoral votes. l am assuming also
that he will carry Arizona. Kentucky.
Oklahoma and Tennessee, thus giving
him an additional 36 votes and furnish
ing him with a total of 149."
Mrs. Thomas A. Edison, the widow
of the inventor. issued an appeal for
President Hoover'S reelection Yesterday
through the Republican headquarters.
She said:
Suffer From Extravaganza.
Our United States. with the rest Of
the world, is suffering from our own
extravaganza Don't let any one make
us think President Hoover is RESPONSE
BILE for our hard times and our lack
Of work. If Hoover had not worked for
our good. those who lost jobs would
have done SO long before they did.
president Hoover understands the
suffering Of today and is working to
bring back prosperity and jobs. This
is no time for party feeling We want
to do what is best for us and our chill
dren
I'VE are not living for today alone,
but for eternity. Let this thought be
uppermost in your minds when you cast
your vote Tuesday"
