Food Is Blg Factor

 Food and WpA jobs, unquostion- ably, will prove to be Roosevelts heaviest guns iIa the east. "0ive me the food oe the world and ! will caps tlire it," eofne roadside philosopher told mo on this trip.
 It is generally accepted that rural and upper New York will give Lane don . majority ranging somewhere between 20O,000 and 100000. The question then is whether Democratic New York City can pile up Q suffi- cient majority to counteFbalance this and swing tho whole state for Roosevelt.
 If I had the space, could quote 90 garment makers, taxi drivers, ele- vator boys, cops, and loafers with whom have talked recently. Four out of five of them have been for Roosevelt.
 Now and again one would launch . bitter attack on the president, mostly on account of the way relief has been handled. With eli Of them Al smith has been completely dis. credited.
 And with these four out of five the class lines have at last become clearly and rlgidly drawn. Not even TamniAny Hall can keep them from voting for Roosevelt, even # tho Wigwan desired.
 
 How New York Shapes Up
 If Governor Lehman refuses to bo drafted jt unquostlonAbly will hurt Roosevelt, but it hardly seems possible that either Lehman pulling out of the ptcture, or Father Cougn- lin's injection into it, or the walkout of Al Smith will have any major effect on the Roosevelt vote In New York City.
 I went to . veteran political writ. or and observer for . figure proph- ecy. He thought for Q minute or two, and then he said: "I honestly believe that Roosevelt will carry New York City by three-quarters Of million. Even if the rest of New York state gives Landon majority Of 100000, that still leaves Roosevelt more than s0O,Oo0 to go to town on.
 "That fellow just can't lose. He's got the working people with him. Union labor is B6 per cent behind him.
 "Of course Roosevelt won't carry the state by as large . lead AS ln '32, when he topped the list by 6oe,- DO0, but he'll keep it just the same"

who had left the republican party to vote for Roosevelt four years ago would return to. the fold.
 Personally, I rather expect to vote for him again." he said to me, "but some of my neighborg feOl dif- feront about 1t. Most eastern farrl- ern think that the midwestern wheat, corn, and hog farmer, and the sou. thern cotton grower have had alI the government favors.
 Prices Of food have gone up on account of crop restrictions, and hundreds of millions besides have been poured Into their pockets. The east had had to pay most of this bill. We dalrymen and eastern farmers have had to help pay the freight.
 "But stiiI I don't see much more that Roosevelt could have done. I'm for giving him another four years, But, of course, most New York farm folks are against him"

 There was a Syracuse sticker on the windshield, and I casually asked what people over their way were thinking about Landon.

DAUGHTER of a Prussian field r marshal, Catherine of Anhalt- Zerbst was determined to become a thorough Russian, when, in I745, at the age of IS, she married Peter, nephew and heir to the Em- press Elizabeth. To master the Russian language, she got up many a night and walked the floor barefoot, repeating her lessons.
 Peter III soon depended on Catherine for his decisions, SO much SO that he called her "Ma- dame La Resource" But often he would insult and kick her. In i7G2 he was dethroned and Cath- crine became empress. aIls death was said to be due to "apoplexy."
 As empress, Catherine was one of the most res0urcefui and de- termined rulers of Russia. But the peasants' lot became worse and rebellions were numerous.' She crushed them all, making life more miserable for the poor, while she lavlshed countless wealth on her numerous lovers. After 34 years of rule, Catherine died ln l7ee, of apoplexy, this time real.

AmeEican people are for Roosevelt" He hesitated . half minute when asked him # he would attempt to name aa approximate per cent. Then he answered thoughtfully: "f would say At least co per cent are for Roosevelt. You see We are TlOst- ly poor people. Tn making my an. nuai visits, 1 find that in most homes there are pictures of Rooscvelt-and the poorer the home, the larger tho picture"
 When I asked if I might quote him, he readily assented, and added that he was certain that his cal- culation would hold for ell the Polish groups throughout the country.
 From another well-informed and strictly non.pavtlsan observer, 1 re- ceived the following analysis: "In i032 Roosevelt carried the city of Buffalo by 4,00O, but Hoover carried Eric county by some 10000. It was the first time that 6 democratic presidential candidate ever carried Buifalo--except only when Cleve- land Q Buffalo man, won the city in l0D2.
 Tn '33 the city elected c demo- cratic mayor, but last year the county voted republican by 4T,O0O. The turnabout can Do traced large. ly to internal dissensions of the 10. col democratic party, and dtssatia- faction with the mayer.
 "But despite the recent local re. publican landslide, Roosevelt has 0 60-B0 chance of carrying the city. You can take it As Q fact that tho big majority Of the laboring classes will be for him."

In Q small way I found additional evidence to support this conclusion. Four steel workers, i've drivers Of auto-carrying trucks, and three Negro laborerB, whom I stopped ono at a time on tho streets, were to . man for Roosevelt.
