Crop of I936 Political
 Forecasts Are Seen as
 Plentiful, Meaningless
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

The fall crop of 1886 election pre- dictions is so abundant that it seems appropriate to recall how little these long-range forecasts have amounted to in the past.
 A year or so in advance 1t IS cus- tomary for each party to begin an- nouncing that the election is won Why this is done so consistently must remain mystery to the lay man, particularly as both sides in- variably follow up their assuring words with renewed outbursts Of campaigning.
 There is reason to doubt whether anyone is greatly deceived by the process. Obviously both parties can not be right, and the reader of the manifestos is left exactly where he was before--free to do his own guess ing.
 It must be apparent to even the Iduilest that great deal can happen in national politics in a year, or even a much shorter space of time.
 It is generally believed that Will liam Jennings Bryan was turned back from the Presidency in 96 in the final month of the campaign; and two distinguished Republicans James G. Blaine and Charles Evans Hughes-are supposed to have forfeited victory within matter of days before the polls were opened.
 Yet all the time both sides were claiming 1t was all over but the shouting.

AID TO
STATE RELIEF
b. T. HOlcOmb Returns From
Washington With En-
cOuraging Report
PLANS BEING FORMED

Unemployed and needy in Kent
and Sussex counties will not be
neglected in the work relief pro
gram to be conducted under his di-
rection, Bankson T. Holcomb, State
director of the Works Progress Ad-
ministration, who recently return
ed from a conference in Washing
ton, D. G. Mr.. Holcomb said ap-
proximately $500 persons had been
receiving relief in one way or an
other in Kent and Sussex counties
during the past year. Statements
that Kent and Sussex counties are
to be ignored or neglected are en-
tirely incorrect and untrue insofar
as work relief through the PA in
Delaware is concerned" Mr. Hol-
comb declared. Commenting ON
the letter of the Rev. John r. Cros-
by, of Seaford, to President Roose-
welt, protesting the relief plans in
Kent and Sussex counties, Mr. Hol-
comb said it was somewhat mis-
leading as regards the Works Pro
gress Administrator. Whatever
the ruling for the CCC camps in
Delaware may be, our problem is
to give work-relief in Kent and
Sussex counties as well as in Will
mington and New Castle county"
Mr.. Holcomb asserted, While in
Washington, Mr.. Holcornb said, he
saw Mr.. Hopkins and was then di-
rected to proceed with a State
wide work relief plan, according to
the needs. Il have personally TAX
en- up this matter with Mr. Hopkins
who stated that he understood why
there was such situation and
that it was my problem to work
out" Mr.. Holcomb continued He
went on to say that he felt that
was more familiar with condi-
tions and if there was a need for
relief in these counties it would be
up to me to provide it. We are
now taking steps to certify the
number of persons who have been
receiving relief from municipal,
county and other organizations.
We also have a record of the num-
Der of unemployed registered with
the U. s. unemployment bureau
which indicates to us that it is our
job to relieve these two lower
counties. Mr. Holcomb said that
a number of projects are now
awaiting certifcation by the prop
er officer at Washington following
which work will be started and the
beginning of reducing the relief
rolls in Delaware will be at hand.
