The cost of thescampaign, on the basis of preliminary expenditures, it was indicated, would be more than in any previous Presidential election. The republican national committees budget" originally was $8, ,6S6,0OO.
 On the basis of September filing of expenditures in the national election the democratic committee was ultimately expected to show that more than $2.O0O, 900 had been spent in the effort to re-elect President Roosevelt.
 State Campaigns Excluded
 The figures were exclusive of the amounts spent in the states for campaigns of various state officers.
 Republican expenditures in recent presidential elections have often doubled those of the democrats.
 In 1892, however, pressed repuh oan leaders only obtained cont 2ns of $2,431,112, while the ,ratic national committee repc contributions of $1.708, ,507.
 COP. Fund Record in 1928
 The republican war chest" to elect Herbert Hoover in 1928 to- tailed approximately $6,550. .773--a record amount. The democratic "war chest" for Alfred E. Smith was $5,444,958. This cats ,aign was the most expensive for each major party in history.
 Other Presidential year campaign expenditures include: 1o24-Repub- lican expenditures, $4270,477; dem- ocratic, $903, ,90S. 1916-Republican expenditures, $2,441,565 democratic, $1,567,o42.
 Indicative of the share of ex- penditures going usually to help elect party members of the house and senate were the figures for 1880 when democrats gained a slight majority in the house. In that year the republican national committee reported expenditures of $743,949 and the democratic committee $612.647.

Literary Digest Plays Safe in Final Returns in ElectonP
Landon Popular Vote Only Forecast In Last
 Weeks s Straw Ballot
Each Candidates Vote Is Reported Without "Weight- ing" Adjusting or Interpretation" = "COrrect
 Prediction" Says Magazine, "WOuld Be Miracle'

"The state of Washington seems to be more favorable to MT. Landon than either Oregon or California We can not in our poll detect any thing that would indicate a req. son for this difference.
 The Seattle Vote
 Right here we wish to say that in 1882 our poll in Seattle gave MT. Roosevelt 65.43 per cent of the vote, and he carried that city by 61.58 per cent of the vote. In the cur- rent poll, 1886, Seattle gives MT Landon 58.52 per cent cad MT Roosevelt 40.46 per cent.
 Our readers will notice we over estimated MT. Roosevelt in 1892 are we overestimating MT. Landon now? We see no reason for SUD- posing so.
 And the three Pacific Coast states which now show for MT Landon and which millions believe will vote for MT. Roosevelt (they may be right) in 1924, 1928 and 1882 were correctly forecast in The Literary Digest polls.
 New York Very Close
 "1n the great Empire State, New York. the figures for so large state are what might be called very close. After looking at the figures for New York, please remember that in 1892 we gave MT. Roosevelt 46.l per cent and MT. Hoover 43.9 per cent, even closer than it is to- day. And yet we correctly forecast that MT. Roosevelt would carry the state.
 And so we might go on with many states that are very close, and some not so close, but in which To- cal conditions have much to do with results, not in polls such as our poll, but on Election Day.
 "The poll represents the most ex- tensive straw ballot in the field the most experienced in view of Its twenty-five years of cctirg-the most unbiased in view of its pres tige-a poll that has always pre- viously been correct"

Special to the Democrat)

For long CoIumnist Raymond CIapper of the Scripps- Howard pa pers fingered with his fellow Kan san, Gov. Ali M. Landon, hopeful that he would stretch up to tho of a major party Pres idential nominee. But it was moi to be.
 Before, Gov. Landon was nOm- mated" he states in his column of Oct. 26, some of us who knew him thought, and considered that we had the best authority for so thinking, that he proposed not to scrap the New Deal. But the campaign is almost Over--thanlk God-and Gov. Landon has pret- ty we'll told his story. It becomes clear now that his election would mean somet.'ing entirely differ ent. It would mean the destruc- tiOn of some of the best things that Roosevelt has begun.
 'He is for social security. Yes. He would repeal the present so- cial insurance plan based on sav- ings, and substitute a pauper pension. He would throw unem- ployment insurance back to the states, where little would be done. He is for reciprocal tariffs. But he would insist upon all trade agreements being passed by Con- gross or ratified by tw0-thirds of the Eenate-he doesn't seem sure which. In either case, any one who has grade-school knowledge of Congress knows such prOced- ure would mean the end of the reciprocal program. Under the Landon plan you would get noth- ing. Which is exactly what a number of republican politicians, who pulled Landon over on this question, want.
 "On relief, Gov. Landon wants only to squeeze out waste and politics. So he proposes that Washington shall hand out lump sums of cash to politicians and tell them that there must be no politics in relief. They can use the money for work relief, for grocery baskets, or put the unem- ployed in the poorhouse. All persons over 10 years who think any such scheme would take re- lief out of politics or eliminate waste will stand on their heads.
 Neutrality? Gov. LandOn is for it. He says we must insist upon

Washington, Oct. 90 (U.P.l- More than 3.o0O,00O additional voters are expected to cast ballots in the LandOn-ROOse- welt election than went tO poll- ing places four years ago. Due to the woman suffrage amendment, approved Aug. 26, 1920, and normal population growth, the number of votes cast in Presidential elections increased from 1s,52s,7A3 In 1916 to 39.916,522 in 19S2.
 The average Presidential election year increase since woman's suffrage has been more than s.OOO,O0O, pointing to a probability of more than 42.O0O,0OO votes In the Roose- velt-Landon race.
 Although the woman suf- frage amendment was pro- claimed more than two months before the 1920 elec- ton. many women were un- able to vote that year because of registration requirements.

 Senate Democrats, 70: republi- cans, 9.
 House Democrats. sls; republi- cans, 104.
 There are 35 places in the sen- ate to be filled as one-third of the house is elected every two years. In Maine's September election, Senator Wallace H. White, (r), was re- elected. Three republican repre- SentativeS also were elected. The other 47 states will vote on con- gressional candidates in the general elections.
 Nine Democrats Unopposed
 Of the 35 senate seats ct stake in the election, 9 now are held by democrats, 12 by republicans and one by 8 Farm-Laborite. Nine democratic candidates have no op- position, being in the South. States included are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mis- sissippi. North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
 Among veteran senators seeking reelection are:
 George w. Norris (r), Neb.: Wil- liam E. Borah (r), Ida; Arthur Capper (r). Kas.: J. Hamilton Lewis (d), H.; Daniel o. Hastings (r), Del; Lester J. Dickinson (r). Ia.: Charles McNary (r), Ore; Jesse H. Metcalfe (r) R. T.: and Morris Sheppard (d), Tex.

lively supporting Norris for re-elec- tion and he paid a tribute to the veteran legislator in a campaign speech in Omaha several weeks ago.
 Under the existing lineup, re- publicans could elect all their can- didates outside the South without overthrowing the democratic senate majority in the next Congress. In 1888, however, 27 democratic sem ators end their terms. Many of these are from normally republi- can territory, having been swept into office in the 1892 democratic landslide. Only five republicans will end their terms two years hence.
 Situation Different in House
 The house situation is different. Each of the 435 members is elected every two years. Thus, it is pos sible for the balance of power to shift in a single election. Impar- tial observers agree that the repub- lican party will gain house seats in the Nov. 3 balloting. Democrats argue that they will not lose seat. Republican hopes are based on past elections which almost invariably show that the winning presidential nominee carires his party into pow CT in the house.
 A survey of past elections reveals that the largest turnover in an election was in 1894 when the house went from 60 per cent democratic to almost 70 per cent republican. That was an off-year election dur ing the second administration of President Cleveland. The republi- can party was returned to power in 1896 when William Mckinley de- feated William J. Bryan.

our traditional neutral rights insistence upon the right to ship arms and supplies to the Allies, upon the right of American cit- izens to travel through subma- rine-infested waters. Those are the rights that got us into the World War. The essence of the Roosevelt neutrality policy is to restrict Americans from rushing through fire lines with gasoline, to warn them they do so at their own risk. Land0n says in effect we would insist upon business as usual: that we insist that our munitions salesmen roam through the lines under a flag of truce. selling their wares to whenever has-or can bOrrOw-the price.
