DETROIT, Mich, October 31.-A
neck-and-neck election for Michigan
is the prediction of political checkers.
with most Of them processing to see a
faint advantage for the Democrats,
so far as the national ticket goes. On
the State ticket, the Republicans are
favored by observers to win the bulk
of the Offices.
Pooling Of opinions from all sections
Of the State and from soothsayers of
all varieties Of political opinion gives
these results:
National ticket-President Roosevelt
to win Michigan's 10 electoral votes BY
a narrow margin. He carried the State
by 100, 900 in 1882. This year the lead
should be less, probably under 100 900.
Roosevelt will swing big majorities in
Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids and other
industrial centers and in the Upper
Peninsula. Landon should carry the
rural sections and the small and mid
dle-sized towns. The total votes In
these two spheres Of influence practi-
cally balance. The prediction Of most
observers is that Landon will not get
a suf1cient majority out-State to over
come the huge vote in Wayne County
(DetroiD he is expected to take.
Murphy Expected to Lose.
Governor-Gov. Fitzgerald, Repub-
Ican, Is expected to lead his ticket
and to defeat Frank Murphy, Demo-
crat, by small margin. The religious
issue has hurt Murphy, particularly
in the outstate areas. No Catholic
ever has been elected Governor of
Michigan. However, If the Roosevelt
majority attains landslide proportions,
as some of the more enthusiastic
Democrats forecast. Murphy probably
will be swept into Office by it.
Senator-A toSs-up. WILDER M.
Brucker, Republican, is expected by
practically all observers to run well
behind the rest of his ticket, but the
presence on the ballot of Louis B.
Ward, Coughlin candidate. is believed
by many to have injured the chances
Of Prentiss M. Brown, Democrat, to
the point where Brucker may squeak
through. On the other hand, the
death of Senator Couzens has not
done Brucker any good. 1t has deep
ened the resentment against him
among Couzens' supporters, who die
not like the bitter attacks he launched
on the Senator during the primary
campaign.
Minor State ofices-The chances
are first rate for the election of Re-
publicans to all these Offices except
one. The Democratic State treasurer,
Theodore I. Fry, is doped to come
through, no matter what happens
to the remainder of his ticket. Again.
of course, q landslide election will
sweep the whole Democratic ticket
into Office.
Little Change in House.
Congress-Little change in the
present relative strength of the Mich
igan delegation in the lower house,
II Republicans and Democrats, is
expected. The Republicans seem to
have fair chance to grab OF two
new seats, but at the same time they
may lose two they now hold, which
would seem to be a standoff in any
language. In the twelfth district
Representative Frank E. Hook is in
danger Of defeat from the veteran
former Representative from that dis

AND ILLINOIS STILL DOUBTFUL in PRESIDENTIAL RACE
SECURITY BATTLE
IN BUCKEYE STATE
G. o. P. to Win GoVernorship
Regardless of Vote for,
Roosevelt.
BY L. r. Common,
Special Correspondent Of The Star.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 81
The end of the campaign in Ohio
finds voters as exhausted as candi-
dates, and still a puzzle to political
forecasters.
That part of the electorate still
trying to decide between Roosevelt
and Landon-a small, but influential
group in this State, as it may hold the
fate Of the electoral votes-has been
bombarded the last few days by ar
guments on the social security ISSUE
made witness to protestations Of high
regard for the Ohio Negro, set in a
whirl by the analyses of the many
straw vote polls. and besieged by rea-
son and hysteria to vote the "Ameri-
can way"
G. o. p. Sure of Governorship.
But no one knows yet exactly how
Ohio will go in the national election.
There is hardly a doubt of how 1t
will vote for Governor. A Republican,
Attorney General John w. Bricker,
will have almost walkaway from
Gov. Martin L. Davey. Roosevelt will
not be strong enough to save the
Governor. and the latter will not be
weak enough to beat Roosevelt. The
two are as far apart as the Republican
and Democratic parties. Indeed, they
are farther apart, for scores of thou
sands of Ohio voters will cast their
ballots for Roosevelt and Bricker.
That Is the way the wind is blowing.
How much of an impression the
last-minute campaign of the Roosevelt
opponents on the social security is
sue will make on the voters is also
an indeterminate factor. 1t is gen.
orally agreed. however, that it will
have some. The Out of Your Pay
Envelope" editorials, first page Eek
poses" and columns of propaganda
have caused many former nominal
Roosevelt supporters to hesitate for
one last thought.
The Columbus Dispatch found, for
instance, that since the attention of
labor has been called forcibly to the
fact that every pay day it will have
to surrender a certain percentage of
its pay check as a contribution to an
old age pension system, one industrial
plant, at least, cast its straw votes
almost 2 to l for Landon. 1t was an
isolated case, and there is no apparent
explanation for it.
New Questions Raised.
1t is apparent that this argument
has raised several questions, to which
answers are being insistently sought.
1t has also added some hysteria to the
campaign. 1t Is easy to see why no
one now. any more than three months
ago, is willing to hazard a guess on
the Ohio outcome. The Buckeye State
must remain an enigma until some
time Wednesday, when the ballots are
counted. In the meantime, both Re-
publican and Democratic leaderships
appear confident of winning Ohio's
26 electoral votes.

FAR WEST WOMEN
DECIDING FACTOR
100000 Silent Votes Hold
Balance of Power in
Washington.
BY JAMES DE X. BROWN,

SEATTLE. Wash, October ST.
When Washington goes to the polls
Tuesday women of the State are going
to be the deciding factor.
There are approximately 300 900
votes now silent. The State today has
the largest registered vote in its his
tory, more than 100000 having quail
fled for the Tuesday polls. OF this
number, approximately 100000 have
not expressed any preference in the
campaign In fact, this huge silent
vote controls. A study of registration
cards indicates that more women
have qualified their votes this year
than ever before
Political observers feel confident
this big silent vote is going largely to
the Landon-Knox ticket If this Is
true, the Republicans will carry the
State of Washington by between
$4,000 and 100000.
Democratic Support.
On the other side of the picture is
to be found P. w. A. and other alpha
bette organizations strongly entrenched
and backed by organized labor claim
ing majority Of the silent vote CIV
ing the State to Roosevelt by more
than 10000 plurality.
A quiet survey of the State made by
disinterested persons indicates that
Eastern Washington, where approx
mately one-third of the total vote lies
is strongly Republican on the national
ticket. Southwestern and Northwest
ern Washington containing one-third
Of the vote, is about evenly divided in
the presidential campaign. King
County and Seattle, containing the re-
manning one-tllird, Is strongly pro-
Roosevelt. The question now is
whether or not Eastern Washington
will give the Republican ticket a plu-
rality large enough to offset the ire
mendous Seattle vote Roosevelt Is Ger
tain to get.
Gov. Martin Leading.
Gov. Clarence D. Martin, Demo-
cratic incumbent, Is leading his Re-
publican opponent, former Gov. Roll
and H. Hartley.
With six Representatives to be
elected the Republicans have a better
than an even chance to elect at least
two and possibly three. Former
Representative John w. Summers Of
Walla Walla at present indications
will defeat Knute Hill, Democratic in
cumbent, in the fourth district. In
the second Representative Mon Wal
gren, Democrat, faces defeat at the
hands Of Payson Peterson of Everett,
Republican.

R00SEVELT'S MAJORITY

BY ROBERT E. WILLIAMS

RALEIGH, N. c., October 31.-Un-
less both Democratic and Republican
leaders are wrong the North Carolina
election result may already be writ
ten.
The Republicans do not seriously
hold any hope Of carrying the State.
but they do insist that the $4,000
majority by which President Roose-
welt carried the State in 1882 will be
materially reduced.
With that the Democrats tacitly
agree. However, they expect mini
mum majority of 100000 and hope
for 100000.
The Republicans expect to do bet
ter with their State ticket.

COLUMBIA, S. c., October 3D.
Many South Carolina Negroes are
contributing to the national Demo-

been no solicitation.
The contributions, coming mainly
from Negro women. have been small,
both individually and in the aggre-
gate. Aside from the political signifi-
canoe, it promises closer relation

ed heretofore.
South Carolina Democrats are con.

~ Mnk1h, lNCUl :, SNtOOCI cA.-1NC.
I braska is expected to register
a close decision between Lam
~ don and Roosevelt. The re-
suit on United States Senator is up
in the air.
With Nebraska recognized as key
State in almost all surveys, the out
come may depend in the presidential
race on the majorities the Democrats
can pile up in the cities.
In all municipalities where voters
are registered, the total of Democrat
votes greatly exceeds the number of
Republican, save in Lancaster County

In rural communities there is no
registration. What the farmers do for
Gov. Landon and how they reward
the New Deal administration may not
be easily forejudged.
Farm workers have been favorably
inclined to the administration by
A. A. A. and drought aid payments
and jobs. They have not succumbed
to the fear that RECOMMENDATION will
destroy their individualism.
The State lacks a large industrial
population, but there is no doubt that

Observers foresaw q much larger

election. It was estimated there will
be 100000 votes for Roosevelt and

$4,000 MARGIN IN UTAH
LIKELY FOR ROOSEVELT
Tremendous Democratic Lead to
Carry Entire State Ticket
Into Office.
BY FRANK p. STEWART

Special Correspondent Of The Star.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, October
31.-President Roosevelt will carry
Utah Tuesday with a majority of
more than $4,000 votes. The tremen-
dous lead he has acquired will carry
with 1t the entire State ticket. Both
Democratic Congressman will be re-
elected by overwhelming majorities.
There has been little dispute at any
time as to whether or not the Presi-
dent would carry this State, and the
Roosevelt lead has been gaining
steadily the last few weeks.
Gov. Henry H. Blood, Democrat,
also has been gaining the last month.
Senator Gilbert D. Thomas, by his
active support og Gov. Blood and the
entire ticket, has done much to con-
solidate the party and assure Demo-
cratic success Tuesday.

The policy of basing taxes on
undiStributed income was termed
folly by Sargent. He declared:
eff this policy becomes effec-
tive, it will result in more receiv-
erShips in business"
REVERSES PROGRAM
The whole program of President
Roosevelt, he said, is reversal of
his graduated corporation tax
policy Of last year.
The policy, he said, would pre-
vent owners of manufacturing
businesses from reinvesting a sub
stantial portion of earnings. The
automobile business of the United
States never could have grown to
its present size if the proposed law
had been on the statute books for
the last Is years, he said, assert
ing:
"The fact that the greatest
amount Of progress has come
through reinveStment demon.
strates the folly Of any tax sys-
tenn which will penalize setting
aside q substantial portion of
profits for reinveStment."
The policy, he said, would force
corporations to rely more and
more on banks and bond and
stock issues to finance their op-
erations.
Force Out Dividends
Sargent conceded that the policy
would force greater dividends as
claimed by the Administration.
But he did not agree that this
would be beneficial The whole
plan, he said, would foster mo-
nopoly. He declared:
II know Of one manufacturer
who is in q sound financial pO-
sitiOn and who says he j. in

cause it would tend to drive his
weaker competitors out Of bust

"The difficulty is that it
would take the wealth of those
who need it to build up new
enterprises of the type that have
given our nation the highest
wages and the highest stand
ard of living in the world.
"There are only three main
sources Of capital with which

operations that provide jobs and
