TELLS CITIZENS TO CAST BALLOT AS THEY CHOOSE
Roosevelt Urges Voters Not to Be Afraid of
 Any Boss

HYDE PARK, N. Y., Nov. 3. = In the final speech before election, President Franklin D. Roosevelt last night asked the voters not to be afraid to vote as you think best for a kind of world you want to have. There need be no strings on any of us in the polling place, men or wo- men. In the polling place, he or she is his or her own boss. No one will fire you because you vote contrary to the wishes of the boss, or his in- structions.
 Don't let anyone intimidate you or your course by telling you oth- erwise. In the polling place we are all equal"
 The President spoke from his Hyde Park home in a nationwide broadcast with Democratic Chair man James A. Farley, United States Senator Wagner, of New York, and Howard A. Filene, Boston mer- chant.
 The Presidents final address of the campaign took on more of a form of general discussion of prin- ciples of the Government and the duties of citizens, than a last min ute plea for votes.

Hug ge Registration, How ever, Forecasts Record
 Smashing Balloting

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.--In an atmosphere electric with excite ment Americas voters applied themselves today to the high duty of choosing the next President and a host of other public servants from New England-Millsfield New Hampshire, voting first-to the Pa cific Coast where the polls will close at II pm. Eastern standard time, or p.m., Juneau time.
 All indications point to record smashing avalanche of votes des- pite rain, snow or threats of them bothering the electorate in many sections. Some statisticians were uncertain whether the total vote would reach the 45,0OO,000 forecast, but with 55,427 000 voters regist- cred the nations interest has been whipped to a tense point in the months of the long campaign.
 Experts warned that returns would be much later than usual. New York, which usually goes as the country goes, formerly cleaned up it's tally early but this year has extended the poll closing time three hours, from 6 am. to pm.
 Far Western voters were greeted by fair and cool weather today as Washington, Utah and Arizona pre- pared to elect Governors. Senator Borah is seeking reelection for his sixth term in Idaho and Senator McNary is seeking his fourth term in Oregon. California and Nevada fill Congressmen's posts. These sev- en States with a combined electoral vote of 49 has voted with the de- ciding majority in every election since 1920. All have shown large registration increases. Where par ty utilization is specified they have shown a proportionate increase of Democratic registration a l h ough Republicans still dominate Oregon.

NIP AND TUCK BATTLE BEING
 WACED TODAY
Chef Executive of Nation Governor of State
 Tn Close Race
(By Associated Press)

A nip and tuck battle in Lan- dons home state of Kansas, with Roosevelt narrowly leading, marked the recording of the first fragmen- tary returns across the nation.
 Roosevelt is running far ahead in the Southeast.
 Landon is holding a slender mar gin in returns from the first New England precincts.
 Interest apparently is centered on Kansas as returns elsewhere during the afternoon are scattered. That a record vote is being boiled is in dicated.
 At 3 o'clock this afternoon the balloting did not indicate any final conclusion.
 This afternoon, in Kansas, 210 of the 2690 precincts in Kansas give Roosevelt 8611, Landon 8325.
 Four precincts in Landon's home town gives him 148 to Roosevelt 65. town gives him 148 to Roosevelt's 65.

ROOSEVELT LEADING IN KANSAS
Patriotism, Self-Interest
 May Decide This Election
By BYRON PRICE (Chiet of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

The Presidential campaign drives toward it's ending amid a confusion of tongues more suggestive of bed- lam than of ordered clarification of the issues.
 The "clear-cut" question remains elusive. Opposing campaign orators speak of many things but seldom of the same thing in a direct meet ing of minds. Qualifications and reservations clutter the political landscape.
 To the historian of future issues this may well appear remarkable and unexplainable characteristic of the great political battle of 1886.
 At time when questions of fu- ture policy are of vital interest, words without end are spent upon the past. The members of the Hoover administration are explored diligently, and each party nominee is confronted daily with some quo- tation of what he said on previous occasions Questions about the de- tail of what is to be done hence forth go unanswered.
 Even as regards the current phys ical facts of the case, there is no common meeting ground. MT. Roos- evelt is accused of making the greatest misstatements about the condition of the treasury, and MT Landon is charged with telling out right untruths about present mar ket prices and trade conditions. It is an extraordinary situation.

Electoral Colleges Big Came WiU Decide Choice
 of People This Election,
By CHARLES NORMAN

NEW YORK, Nov. s3.--The college of electors doesn't have a football team, but it's a famous institution
 That's because when the sov- ereign people of the United States go to the polls to elect a President, they only elect the electors who elect the President The electors themselves can't do anything about it until they've been notified of their election by the Secretaries of State of their respective States.
 It's all very complicated, partic- ularly article XII of the Consti- tuition which provided this method of choosing the Chief Executive, but it works out pretty smoothly, and good time is had by all, par ticularly the electors. As for the sovereign people, practically every body in the United States will know the night of November 3 who has been elected, although it won't be official until the college of electors say so. And it won't talk" until the first Monday after the second Wednesday in Decem- Der.
 Textbooks, guidebooks, the Con- stitution itself failed to make the functions of an elector clear; it was therefore necessary to track one down. This has been done. The result makes it plain that the life of an elector is not an un- happy one.
 Honored above his fellow party members, he is notified by the State committee that he has been appointed an elector. He thereupon becomes member of perhaps the most exclusive college enrolment in the country, if not the world The college of electors consists of 531 men and women, or equal the number of Senators and Represen- tatiyes. In some States the electors names go on the ballot.
 Comes election day. When the votes have been tabulated, the Sec- retary of State of his State notif.e the elector of his election a sec ond communication tells him wha to do about it. He can hardly wait, but wait he does, for the forms must be observed.
 On the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December he says goodbye to kith and kin. He takes train to the State capital He meets his fellow electors, strikes up friendships. All pose for pie lures. There is a luncheon, en masse. The Governor may receive them as honored guests.
 The amenities observed, the el- ectors hold an organization meet ing, choose a chairman and are called to order. Each elector is given a ballot.
 Now comes the most momentous moment in the career of an elector
 One of them puts the President in nomination AS each man casts his vote he signs the rolls. Some times engraved ballots are kept as souvenirs.)

TWO FACTORS INVOLVED

The wires or augmentation be- ing tangled as they are, what will decide the election? There are two sorts of indications.
 No one can disregard the evidence that some or both sides are fired by deep-seated, even a zealous, conviction that victory for their candidate is absolutely essential in the national interest. This type of conviction developed early in the campaign, and apparently no argu- ments have shaken it.
 At the same time, other large groups of voters are showing un- mistakable signs of disregarding all of the forensic pros and cons as to national policy, and casting their ballots in accordance with what they conceive to be their own in dividual interests.
 There are those who feel that they have derived and will derive much betterment of their lot from the acts of the present administration. They are preparing to vote for MT. Roosevelt.
 There are those who feel that their security in their customary posses sions and pursuits has been dam aged and will be menaced hereafter by the current course of events at Washington. They are preparing to vote against MT. Roosevelt.
 It would be too delicate an opera tion to attempt to sort out self interest and patriotic conviction in specific cases, or to compute which would be more powerful this year.
