OREGON IS LIKELY
ROOSEVELT STATE
Reelection Of MCNary and
Two House Republicans
Seen, However.
BY RALPH WATSON.


PORTLAND, Greg, October 81
Oregon, which with but three excep-
tions-l868, 1912 and 1932-has con-
sstently cast its electoral votes for
Republican candidates. seems sched-
uled to add fourth exception to its
record November 3.
However, last-minute surveys an
ticipate reelection of Charles L. Nc
Nary. minority leader of the Senate;
Representative James Mott, Repub-
lican Townsend Endorsed candidate
from the first district; Representative
Walter M. Pierce, Democratic Town
send-indorsed candidate from the
second district, and, probably. Rep
resentative William A. Ekwall, Re-
publican from the third district.
More interest has been aroused in
the present national campaign
throughout the State as a whole than
Id any election for a generation back.
1t has engendered bitterness and it
has been carried forward by more
effectively modified and active party
organizations than have been in evil
dence for years. 1t has not been so
much Republican-Democratic bat
tie as an anti and pro New Deal
conflict. Republican observers expect
Roosevelt to win the State Tuesday,
but by smaller margin-most of the
predictions ranging around 10000.
Senator McNary is picked to win
over Willis Mahoney. his Democratic
Townsend-indorsed opponent. Hide
bound Republican partisans are dis
gruntled because McNary confined
himself strictly to his own candidacy
and would not yield to headquarters
insistence that he stump for Landon.
Partisan Democrats are angry with
Mahoney because, after being defeat
ed for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination in 1884, he refused to
support his party nominee, Charles
H. Martin, the present Governor. 1t
is the first battle McNary has faced
In his long tenure in the Senate, but
he Is expected to win it without ma
terial difficulty.
The State ticket, including the Leg
islature, is expected to go Repub-
lean. by a narrowed margin.

LANDON SUCCESS in PENNSYLVANIA REQUIRES BIG VOTE
INDIANA CHANCES
FOR LAND0N GOOD
Republicans Also Expected
to Elect Governor
Tuesday.
BY WILLIAM L. TOMS,

Special Correspondent Of The Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, October 81
Experienced political observers in In
diana forecast that a Republican Gov
ernor will be elected Tuesday, that the
Democrats will save seven or eight of
their II seats in Congress and that
Gov. Landon, though trailing the State
Republican ticket, remains a threat
to capture the States IA electoral
votes.
This conclusion comes, first, from
discounting almost entirely the bally-
hoo broadcast at the eleventh hour
by leaders of both parties; second.
from giving temperate consideration
to the unusual reception given to Gov.
Landon several days ago. reception
described by veteran press correspond
entS and newsreel men as unequaled

summarization of reports from I'M
biased newspaper correspondents in
each Of the States 90 counties.
State Ticket Unpopular.
The Democratic State ticket in Indi-
ana is rated unpopular with the bulk
of the voters. due largely to the fact
that M. Clifford Townsend, nominee
for Governor. stands effectively tagged
as the prospective political tool of
Gov Paul v. McNutt. Raymond S.

Governor, when not attacking the mis-
deeds Of the McNutt administration.

Indiana gave the Republican pres-

in 1928. reversing herself thereupou
in 1882 to give President Roosevelt a
margin of 184, 900 over Herbert Hoover.
Thus it is seen that landslides are
nothing out of the ordinary with
Hoosiers.
Various Republican leaders Of the
State have foreseen a differential of
as high as $4,000 votes between
Springer and Landon Records Of past
elections in the last Is years give
strength to the possibility of q repe-
tition this year and the vote estimates
fortify the prediction that the Landon-
Roosevelt battle will be close.

likelihood they will gain no more than
four or five of the IL seats in Congress.

the wheat-growing section and the
old-time G. o. P. stronghold, but this
year farmers in that section show q
leaning to Roosevelt, and those in the
western tip, the Oklahoma panhandle

make Phil Ferguson, Woodward, in
cumbent, the favorite over T. ]. Sar-

BAY STATE'SVOT
DUE FOR LAND0N
Roosevelt Advances Rapidly
During Final Month of
Campaign.
BY w. E. MULLINS,

special correspondent OF the star.
BOSTON, October 31.-Gov. Lam
don will carry Massachusetts over
President Roosevelt by a small mar
gin in Tuesdays election, most COM
petent political observers believe. One
month ago the Republican nominee
was an overwhelming favorite to carry
the Bay State, but the President has
made substantial gains.
The two chief factors In stimulating
sentiment for President Roosevelt were
his tour Of the State 10 days ago by
motor car and the industrious and
effective activities on his behalf by
his eldest son, James Roosevelt.
Conservative estimates were that
more than 100000 citizens greeted
the President on his tour through 80
cities and towns and reporters who
have accompanied the presidential
party in other sections of the country
said the Massachusetts, crowds we're
the largest they had encountered.
Visited 10 Communities.
James Roosevelt. mapping out a
single-handed tour of his own, visited
more than 70 communities in which
he conducted public forums, answering
all questions on the New Deal. He at
tracted large crowds, made a distinct
hit, with the result that the candidates
on his party's State ticket embraced
him into their rallies and became
staunch New Dealers. This undeniably
aided in stemming the strong Landon
tide.
Not even the most ardent Re-
publican can accept the Literary Dr.
gest poll on Massachusetts, being even
approximately accurate. While they
look for Landon victory it will not
be anything like the margin indicated
by this poll. The Digest poll missed
Massachusetts, both in 1928 and in
1882.
Lodge to Defeat Curley.
Gov. James M. Curley will be de-
feated by Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., a.
year-old member of the Massachusetts,
House Of Representatives, in the con-
test for United States Senator. A fac
tor in this contest is the participation
of Thomas c. O'Brien with the sup
port Of the Rev. Charles E. Coughlins
National Union for Social Justice.
The Union party ticket of Repre-
sentative William Lemke and O'Brien
for President and Vice President has
not commanded the attention that had
been anticipated. 1t will deprive
Roosevelt of thousands of votes, but
will not be the determining factor
in the contest for the electoral vote.
Split tickets in both parties are ex-
pected to delay counting of the ballots
until a late hour. The Republican
nominee for Governor, John w.
Haigis, is not as strong against State
Treasurer Charles F. Hurley as Lodge
is against Curley.
The chief factor in the State cam
paign has been the Governors admin
istration.

President Roosevelt's majority over

BURLINGTON, VT, October 81
Vermont, the one State in the Union
that has not wavered in fealty to
the Republican party since it was
organized 80 years ago, will vote true
to form next Tuesday and choose
three Landon and Knox electors. 1t
Is estimated Landon will poll at least
$4,000 more votes than Roosevelt next
Tuesday.
Representative Charles A. Plumley
Of Mortified will be reelected.
George D. Aiken, Republican, of Put
ney, at present Lieutenant Governor,
will be elected Governor.
An increased Democratic represen-
tation in the State Legislature is not
unlikely, but it will be far short OF
a majority in either body.
