Farley Predicts Sweep.
James A. Farley, national chairman,
headed the Democratic victory-prog-
nosticators, with a declaration that
it would be sweep" giving President
Roosevelt a bigger electoral margin
than 1882, when he captured 472 OF
the 531 votes in the electoral college.
Farley said Republicans could not
rightfully "feel hopeful in any States

National Chairman John D. M
Hamilton of the Republicans came
back with a declaration that without
hesitation he could predict an "ab-
solute minimum" of 800 electoral votes
for Gov. ALT M. Landon. Only 266 are
necessary to elect. Other Republican
campaigners also said there was a
victory tide" for Landon.
Though his more formal campaign
ing was over, President Roosevelt per.
mitted himself little rest today. He
planned to make a tour Of his own
Dutchess County and two other New

The Governor wound up his formal
campaigning Saturday night with
