Circulation of "unspeakable false
hoods was charged to Republican
campaign managers by R. Earl
Peters, Democratic state chairman
in an address Sunday night over
station WFBM, when he forecast
state Democratic victory by
100000.
In the early stages, the whisper
ing squads worked under cover, ,
Peters said. Then during the last
week when opposition managers
are confident there is not enough
time in which to refute them, they
lnaugurate wholesale circulation OF
false representations by advertise
mentS and otherwise"
Declaring that Paul v. McNutt
Democratic nominee for Governor
has been singled out for attack
Peters called attention to what he
termed "baseless charges against

THOMAS FEARS
FASC|SM RISE
Candidate Is Doubtful If
Depression Will End.

BU CNfFfU HfSSS
NEW YORK, Nov. Norman
Thomas, who has led one of Social
ism's strongest campaign for the
presidency, travelled westward today
to spend election day in Milwaukee
after predicting the rise of Fascism
in America.
Socialism, Thomas said, is the
only alternative against the "enor-
nous dangers" of Fascism anc
frantic profit seeking"
II am by no means sure we shall
emerge from this depression,
Thomas said, predicting the doom
of capitalism. He cited two "om-
nous factors" in the signs of bust
ness ecovery-decline of grain
prices to lowest levels in the coun-
trys history and failure of wages
to keep up with increased employ
ment.
Voters in forty-four states will
have opportunity to ballot for
Thomas Tuesday, and party leaders
predict he will poll 100000 votes,
more than double the highest figure
ever polled by the late Eugene v.
Debs. Only in Oklahoma, Florida,
Idaho and Louisiana have the
Socialists been unable to obtain a
place on the ballot.
Thomas made his final eastern
appeal here Sunday. A crowd of
5000 heard the candidate, who does
not expect to be elected, pledge
himself to carry on the fight after

you and also of Governor RooSe-
welt, to give support to proposals
that, if adopted, largely will aid the
insurance of permanent peace and
prevent the coming of another

civilization in ashes"
The proposals contain three
