and women are marching in the Roosevelt parade but they are under whitening republican fire Of argu- ment that Mir. Robsevelt's old age social security program Is more Q lifetime tax upon their wages than an assurance of security when they can work no more. Radical off- shoots of the republican party in the northwest, the La Toilette pro- gressive organization in Wisconsin and the farmer labor party in Min nesota, are aligned with MT. Roose- welt for this election. There has been shift of socialist voters and leaders from their old positions to places of varying prominence In Roosevelt campaign affairs.
 Priest for First Time
 A priest for the first time has taken front rank political posi-. ton in an American presidential campaign. Rev. Charles E. Cough lin organized the national union for social justice and dedicated 1t to the defeat of Mir. Roosevelt. His candi- date is William Leinke, presidential nominee of the union party, but the beneficiary of Father Coughlins bitter campaign will be Gov. Lan- don. Three -fourths of Lenike's votes are expected to be drawn from among groups which otherwise would have voted for the new deal
 All these factors, refiecting politi. cal re.alignments already under way and foretelling more vigorous shocks to the familiar post-Civil war. demooratic-republican party structure, have given the presiden. tial contest more than It's usual share of attention this year. The gubernatorial contests In more than 30 states, the battle for 432 seats in the house of representatives and the election of more than one.third Of the membership of the United States senate have been obscured.
 Conservatives Watching
 Conservative democrats are stand ing by to recapture control of their party at once if MT. Roosevelt IS defeated and for continued battle for its leadership and title to It's historic name if'he Is returned to- morrow Q winner. Left winBers and founders of new minority party groups currently associated with MT. Roosevelt are prayerful for Q party break-up which would cleave the country between conservatives ana liberals. And they arc naneuvering to take over tho liberal or radical movement if that cleavage comes.
 Three great democratic newspa- pers followed the leadership Of Al Smith and took walk away from MT. Roosevelt. The St. Louis Post- Dispatch and the Omaha World Herald have endorsed Gov. Landon. Tho Baltimore Sun announced first, that 1t could not support MT. Roose- vent, and, later, that neither could 1t advise its readers to vote for the republican candidate. There are oth- or papers, such as the Daily Okla homan. Times In Oklahoma City which have 0 democratic tradition behind them but are plugging for Gov. Landon right up to the point of openly and publicly endorsing his candidacy.
 Welcomed Hates
 Big buisness, MT. Roosevelt called 1t organized money" opposes the new deal and the president told his Saturday night Madison Square garden audience that he welcomed the hate of such antagonists. The republican campaign has been aimed in part toward persuading the little fallow," known as the for gotten man" in 1882 that better times and perhaps 8 job have come despite MT. Roosevelt.
 Against democratic claims of re- stored prosperity and the promise of Mir. Roosevelt that he would con- tinue his efforts to foster connective bargaining and increase the income of labor and farmer, alike, the re- publicans have posed the charge of dictatorial contradictions of power in the White House, denial that soc cial security plans will create se- curity, charges that the budget is unbalanced to high degree of dan- ger and the assertion that talk of prosperity is foolish when l0000.- 900 persons are without employment
