BY JACK ALLEN.

Two political parties that have been
engaged for six months in firing bar
rage after barrage Of charges and
counter-charges before the Montgom-
result OF the election Tuesday, both
confident of victory.
Observers who have followed Mont
gomery's voting trend for years fore
see In the balloting the greatest test
the Democratic organization has been
called upon to face since it wrested
the administration from the old Peter
faction In 1919 and embarked upon q
reign unbroken for Is years.
1t Is also generally conceded that
no less severe is the test that con-
fronts the Republican party and the
Progressive Democratic faction who,
unable to defeat the organization
through individual effort, have massed
their forces under the standards of
a fusion party In a combined attempt
to overthrow the group in power.
The election rivals-realizing the
new party brings both of the organi-
zation's opponents into solid array for
definite showdown on the organi-
zation's strength and fearful lest de-
feat may send them tottering into
political oblivion, have staged the
most gruelling and spectacular CAM
paign Of public rallies and house-to-
house solicitation of votes that the
electorate has ever viewed.
Considerable optimism was ex-
pressed in the rival camps last night
as the election nears.
States Attorney Stedman Prescott
leader, chief spokesman and State
senatorial candidate of the Demo-
cratic party. predicted a hands
down victory" for the ticket which
he heads and said that a majority
Of 1000 or 5000 votes will be piled
up over fusion opponents.
Thomas M Anderson, chairman Of
the Fusion Central Committee, fore
cast victory for the entire Fusion
ticket. He said:
THE Fusion meetings have been
well attended. The voters are thor
oughly informed as to the issues of
the campaign. We feel that the
main issue is between right and
wrong government. Being thoroughly
convinced that large majority of
the voters are in favor OF govern
ment being conducted in the proper
manner, We expect them to express
their sentiment in favor Of the entire
Fusion ticket on Tuesday"
The Fusion ticket arrayed against
the Democratic group is composed Of
nine Progressive Democrats and 10
Republicans, and includes nominees
for every position except that of Cir
cult Court judge The judicial post
is one of three which covers & circuit
that includes Frederick County as
well as Montgomery, and there is no
Fusion party in Frederick.

lican nominee and one Of the founders

bears the unique distinction of run
ming as a Democratic candidate and
at the same time bearing the indorse-
ment Of the Fusion party.
A battle that Is being watched with
particular interest Is the one between
States Attorney Prescott and John
z. Oxley for q place in the State
Senate. Prescott, the Democratic
candidate, and Oxley, Fusion nominee
met four years ago In the fight for
the States attorneyship.
Considerable interest also Is being
evidenced in the outcome Of the bids
being made for ofice by the two
women candidates figuring in the
election. They are Miss Lavinia
Engle, running for county commits
sioner from Wheaton district with
Paul Coughlan as her opponent. and
Miss Ruth Shoemaker, candidate for
the House of Delegates. Both are
Democrats.
Another that is attracting attention
lies between Walter w. Dawson OF
Rockville and James H. Pugh of Chevy
Chase for States attorney.
Despite Maj. E. Brooke Lees an
nounced retirement from politics and
as public official, he has been one
of the principal objects of attack by
the Fusionists, who refused to take
his announcement seriously.
The organization has replied that
States Attorney Prescott has sup
planted Lee as its leader.

RIVALS CONFIDENT

Both Parties See Victory as
Hardest Campaign in
History Ends.
BY GEORGE PORTER.
Stafi Correspondent of The Star.

UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, Novem-
ber 3.-As one Of the hardest fought
election campaigns in the history Of
Prince Georges County entered its
last lap today, leaders of both parties
predicted victory at the polls on Tues
day.
DR.. Thomas E. Latimer, physician,
who heads the Republican State Gen.
tral Committee, diagnosed the politi-
cal outlook as follows:
There is no doubt Harry w. Nice,
the Republican candidate, will be
elected Governor In Prince Georges
I expect the Republicans to elect
vast majority, if not all, OF their can
didates."
To which George N. Palmer, Demo-
cratic Central Committee chairman,
replied:
Our registered majority of 5,081 Is
the largest IN the history Of the coun-
ty. We are better organized than in
the past and have one Of the best
tickets ever placed in the field. Prince
Georges will give Gov. Ritchie ma
jority of at least $500, and the Re-
publicans will be lucky if they win
single county office.
The Democrats have campaigned on
their party's record, claiming econ
omy, efficiency and honesty in the
county administration entitle them to
a vote of confidence and another four
years at the helm.
Republicans have challenged the
Democratic assertions regarding econ-
omy and countered with charges Of
boSSism and extravaganza. Restora-
ton of school teachers salaries, es-
tablishment Of four-year high school
at Bladensburg, additional relief for
flremen and the management Of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission also have figured in the cam
paign as issues.
The Democrats have formed more
and larger clubs than the Republicans
and those organizations may prove a
telling factor both in the election and
after Certainly they have been the
greatest influence in the county in
promoting prediction rallies and
awakening interest in the campaign.

E. Blake, national chairman of the

that the dissatisfaction of 'drys" with
the liquor planks Of both major par
ties will engender an unprecedented"
prohibition vote Tuesday.
The party has tickets in 16 States,
organizations in 81 States, and will
organize the remaining II States in
the next six months, Blake said.
Quietly, the party has been reor-
ganizing during the last two years.
Blake said, adding:
Three outstanding facts constitute
the basis for the revival of the Pro-
hibition party. First, the increasing
evils Of the liquor traffic under repeal.
Second, the failure of both the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties to keep
their promises that there would be no
return of the saloon. Third, the
growing dissatisfaction on the part
of many voters with Government as

at least four seats to make it 64.
He used the words "a Democratic

1t all contributed to the discus
sion aroused by President ROOSEVELT IS
remarks Friday that were interpreted
as inviting the electorate to vote for
individual candidates., rather than
straight party tickets. Arriving at
Hyde Park yesterday, by the way,
he made clear that he would vote
there Tuesday for Senator Copeland

This was to dispel a contrary i'm

omission of Copeland's name in the

Lehman. When asked about Cope-
land, Mr.. Roosevelt had remarked it
would be amazing to know how often

were ready to hail as a great triumph

the average to be expected.
Both party chairnen reserved their
last expressions for tomorrow nights

last night saw the New Deal Slip

election" said Fletcher, "the Repub-
licar1 party regards it as preliminary
skirmish. The fight on the admins
tration and on its costly experiments
will 90 on. We are convinced the
New Deal Is a failure"
Farley posed the question to be
answered Tuesday as solely:
Does the country have faith in
Franklin D. Roosevelt, or does it wish
to have his policies repudiated, and
60 back to the old order under which
we plunged to the greatest depths of
economic depression in its history?"
The New Deal program will rot
