Governor Landon joined in last
minute appeals to the nation, in
which there was no rancor. no
accusations, no claims, only fer
vent appeal to the voters to vote.
The passion of campaign speeches
was put behind them.
The campaign managers stuck
grimly to their guns in the matter
of claims of victory.
James A. Farley. Democratic
National Chairman, persisted in
his policy of conceding only two
States to Governor Landon, Maine
and Vermont, and his prediction
of more than 500 electoral votes
for President Roosevelt.
John D. M. Hamilton, Repub-
lican generalissimo, rested his
claim on at least 800 electoral
votes for Governor Landon," al
though he Smilingly asserted he
had been deluged with protests
that his claim was too modest.
Betting Favors Roosevelt
The surface indications STRAW
votes, betting odds and other indi-
Gators which influence the popular
mind-continued to point to Mr..
Roosevelt'S reelection. The bet
ting. especially, was reported brisk
in many parts of the United States.
Barring landslides, such as the
country has witnessed in the last
four Presidential elections-Hard-
ing in 20, Coolidge in "a, Hoover
in %, and Roosevelt in sgt is
likely the outcome of the election
will be slower than usual in reach
ing the public.
Due to the greatly increased reg
istration-15,000,000 more. regis
tered than voted four years ago
some States have heightened the
hours of polling. In New York, FOR
example, an additional three hours
have been given the voters to cast
their ballots, the booths not clos

years, the outcome in New York
has been fairly we'll known by that
hour. $500.
Popular Vote Close
A relatively close popular vote
in many States, especially the
larger States like Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Illinois, would tend to
further delay determination of the
electoral vote. And while the
managers on both sides militantly
assert their claims to the cleo
toral votes, they generally concede
that the popular vote in many
key and important States prob
ably will be close. This will
operate to delay concessions on
either side. So long as the popu-
lar vote Is close, neither side will
be inclined to do any conceding

Victory in the fight for control
Of the national House Of Repre-

troll Of the nations purse strings
was claimed by both Democratic
and Republican leaders as voters
trooped to the polls today.
The entire House OF 435 mem
bers, with the exception Of three
Republicans already elected in
Maine, was to be chosen.
Claim Disputed
The victory claim Of Representa-

Campaign Committee, was an

Committee chairman, who said
that the Democrats would retain
their lop-Sided majority.
The drives of Father Charles E.
Coughlin'S National Union for
Social Justice and DR.. Francis E.
Townsend's old-age pension organi-
zation to elect friendly members
were fully as intense as those OF
the major parties.
Facing a monumental task to
win the House, the Republicans
had a dual objective. If they failed
to win control they hoped to cap
ture enough seats to effect COM
bination with Democratic factions
to rule legislation. The House
standing is Democrats 3O8; Re
publicans, 100; ProgreSsives, Z;
Farmer.Laborites, 3; vacant, IT.

House, with one exception, fought
for victory at the polls. The can

There was much implied In the

was assuming that Julia, as the
companion of the host, had Or
dered breakfast In the absence Of

the widow was assuming the sltua-

sudden flash, Julia recognized tho
source of this strange woman's un.
happiness an unhappiness that
cloaked her vaguely yet surely. She
was a possessive woman: O woman
who wanted all things and all men,
and she could never be happy on
