In the presidential contest the
Republican w. S. Dunn.
The third party candidate, William
Lemke' was SO far in the shadow
that it appeared ne will have vir-
tually no support from this county
at the Nov. 3 election.
President Roosevelt, on the other
hand, seemed the overwhelming
favorite. A breakdown of the straw
ballot returns, however, showed
that the Republican vote was align
ed solidly behind Governor Landon.
judging by the ratio of Roosevelt
to Landon votes in the straw ballot
as compared to the ratio of Demo-
cratic to Republican strength in
county registration.
Current straw vote totals gave
Roosevelt $50 votes against 298 for
Landon. In the congressional race
the Democratic candidate, Ed V.

The fires were centered in three
localities. The worst blaze occurred
in the MADEIRA county Sierra New
adas. The flames, which broke out
in five places, blackened 10000
acres, crippled communications to
Yosemite and other mountain points
and threatened the settlements of
Vinegole, Coarsegold, North Fork,
Central Camp and Walkers Store.
The flames were visible at Fres-
no, rs miles away.
Two fires burned near Mill VAL
ley, one at Corte MADEIRA and an
other near Bolinas Bay. The for
mer was brought under control
after an all-night battle by CCC
workers and other volunteer fire
fighters. The Bolinas Bay blaze
still burned uncontrolled, but had
been checked considerably. The
fires were on opposite sides of Mt.
Tamaplais, and burned many hun
dredS of scrub timber and grass
land. Three buildings were destroy
ed.
Prisoners of the San Francisco
county Jail were released to quell
fire burning near the San Mateo
county border, two miles from Bay
shore boulevard.
Vacationers at Bass Lake were
forced to flee when brush fires
swept in on them, destroying sew
eral cabins.
Heavy winds capsized small
skiff in San Francisco Bay. Two
youths, Robert Scotchler and Bar
ton Landon Abbott, grandson of
Novelist Jack London, both of Ber-
kelley, saved themselves from
drowning. Other small boats in the
bay and in the Sacramento San
Joaquin river delta were sunk or
turned over.

CAMPAIGN T R A | N IN
OHIO, Oct. 16. (UP)-Pres-
ident Roosevelt entered Ohio
today, supremely confident
the election was all over but the
shouting. Through key cities of
this doubtful state" he carried
message of New Deal economic
and social gains.
The president came to Ohio from
Michigan where. he had been
cheered by enthusiastic demon
strations, capped by one of major
poportions in Detroit last night.
He was as confident he would car
ry Michigan as he was that he
would be reelected.
Today the president speaks in
Cincinnati, Springfield, Coumbus
and Cleveland. M speech is major"
omorroW he campaigns in upstate
New York, delivering an important
address in Albany tomorrow night.
After "a hours rest at Hyde park he
will return to Washington.
President Roosevelt and his secre-
taries were silent concerning the
significance of a brief conference he
had last night with Bishop Michael
j. Gallagher, the ecclesiastical su-
perior of Father Charles E. Cough
lin.
Detroit police estimated that 80,-
900 persons heard Mr.. Roosevelt S
speech in Cadillac Square in Detroit
last night, and other estimates ran
as high as 10000.
Speaking to what observers con-
sidered a predominantly labor audi
ence, Mr. Roosevelt pledged new
gains for labor from the New Deal
He said:
Detroit today is a very different
city from what it was three years
ago. and while the wheels of in
dustry turn fast and unemployment
is very greatly decreased, there are
many problems not yet solved. I
do not accept the conclusion of
many Republican leaders that major
depressions are inevitable in mod
ern life. 1t is not enough that we
have ended the days of 1882 when
workers in this city received for
their labor as low as five or six
dollars for two weeks work. 1t is
not enough that we have saved
many homes and put thousands of
people to work. I believe that it is
the duty of government to bend
every effort to prevent another maj
or catastrophe such as that which
hit this country as a result of the
Republican leadership which ran
government from 1921 to 1888"
