 lature, but the campaign has been without unusual features. In Mis- sissippi, a slate of democratic can- didates for legislative and. other state offices is expected to win ap- proval with the usual lack of op- position.
 Mayoral elections will be held in three Connecticut cities, Hartford, Bridgeport and New Haven.
 Four Million to Vote
 New York, Nov. 4-(UP)-F'our million New York voters will willy nilly declare at the polls tomorrow their sentiment toward the New Deal.
 The voters are to elect only the members of a new state assembly and such minor officers as district attorneys and sheriffs, but logical issues of such an election have been jettisoned in favor of Q test of Roosevelt popularity in the pres ident's home state.
 Republican chieftains shouted | that the issue was clearly pro or ansi Roosevelt. Democratic spokes- men accepted the gage. MT. Roosevelt himself offered moral encouragement to his forces by his presence at Hyde Park. He will voet tomorrow in the little yell low town hall where he cast his ballot in the 1922 election that made him president.
 President Quiet
 White House tradition prevented the president from taking an ac- tive part in the campaign but Postmaster General James A. Far ley moved into democratic head quarters in New York to master mind the fray, while Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, strong supporter oi Roosevelt policies, directed upstate workers from Albany.

No matter how the election goes unless there should be such an un-
 expected event as a landslide for
 one party, the balloting actually
 will decide little except the com plexion of the next state assembly The present assembly is democratic l-the first time in 20 years that a democratic governor has had 6 democratic legislature.

 maintaining only slightly more than academic interest in tomor- rows state assembly elections, ob- servers pointed to the fact that he was here to vote as an indication of the importance he attaches to the results.
 While White House attaches in- i sisted MT. Roosevelt expected no official callers today, 1t was felt that he probably would discuss the state situation with Postmaster General James A. Farley.
 Farley, as democratic state chair man, has been working to win the votes to insure party control of the assembly for another year. Has Said Nothing The president in accordance with White House tradition, has said nothing concerning the campaign except that he will go to the polls as a citizen of the state and do his duty. Party lieutenants, however, counting on the psychological eff feet of his presence to help the cause considerably, particularly in districts where the outcome will be close.
 The president began the week de- termined to clear away unfinished business remaining in the big pile of correspondence brought here from the capital. He was at his desk immediately after breakfast and sources, if any, of material circu-
