Turning to an attack on Gov. RooSe-

There is every evidence from his
speeches, including their incoherence,
that they are edited from Wall Street

By common consent, therefore. the
debate over the outcome would seem to
have simmered down to just this: Have
the Republicans been able. during the
final weeks of the campaign, to reverse
the forces which were operating against
them during the preceding months?
Spectacular Campaign.
1t is not within the province Of this
writer to forecast the answer. but it
has produced a far more spectacular
campaign finish than anyone foresaw.
No one will deny that the Republi-
cans have tried. Instead of making
three campaign speeches. as he had
planned, President Hoover has deliver
ed scores Instead of disregarding his
Democratic opponent. as he did four
years ago. he has indulged in direct
quotation and answer. Win or lose, the

have any decisive effect depends on who

as ever in 1882, but they do
L have one distinctive note.
The tenor of the Democratic
estimates is that Democratic victory in
the presidential campaign became a
foregone conclusion long ago, while the
Republican outgivings take the general
position that although the fight has
been hard one, the tide now has
turned decisively toward the Republi-
can ticket
Neither Of these two schools of sur
vey and phophecy follows the orthodox
habits OF previous years The country
has been accustomed to hear pre-
election claims based on identical sup
positions on both sides, and expressed
in Identical language. Almost without
variation the burden of these claims
has been: we started strong. and
since then have completely taken the
country by storm
Now neither party is saying exactly
that. Both claim victory but by en-
tirely different routes, and in entirely
different words.
