BIG STATES GIVE
CONCERN TO
PRESIDENT
Pennsylvania and New
York to Hear Last Min
ute Election Pleas
BY EARLE GOODWIN

New York and Pennsylvania,
two big States with 83 ELECTORAL
votes between them, are heavy
in President Roosevelt's mind as
he ponders on the campaing pro-
gram with the last week Of this
exciting 1885 canvass before him.
At the last moment the President
has decided again to invade both
the States with campaign tour.
President Roosevelt is not alone
in bordering on the thing to do
in these two big States. John
Hamilton, chairman of the Re.
publican National Committee,
has said that Governor Landon
must have these two States to
win, and with that as a slogan,
the Republicans have gone to
work in a last ditch fight which
is shaking the Democratic machln.
cry in those two States.
Opinions Differ
Opinions differ as to who will
carry these two valuable States.
Old time politicians, who have
seen results in both States since
the days Of Boise Penrose in
Pennsylvania and David B. Hill
in New York, do not profess to
know how either State is going.
Not long ago there was scareiy
New Dealer who did not know for
certain that both New York and
Pennsylvania were IN the bag
for the President. That would
be counted as extraordinary
knowledge in Pennsylvania, which
has been Republican since the
Civil War days, for all practical
purposes. New York has teetered
this way and that, but Pennsyl-
vania has been rock-ribbed.
But now comes the amazing
statements by men who know
politics inside out that Democratic
assurance over Pennsylvania is
nonSensical.
Bosses Have FlOurished
Pennsylvania is one of those
States which has long been used
to politics by machine. Bosses
have flourished in that State, and
one of the reasons why politicians
have accorded the State to the
New Dealers is the understanding
that many old time Republican
bosses have gone right over to the
Democratic outfit bag and bag
gage, taking their organizations
with them. This would not be re-
markable: it's just what they call
Practical Politics"
However, one of the troubles
that this switch has encountered
is that genuine Democrats have
found that the jobs were going
to these newly converted Demo-
Gratis who have been Republicans
all their lives.
Just One Problem
This is just one OF the many
conflicting disturbances entering
into the matter of political pre-
diction this year. To the person
who predicts accurately in the
case of Pennsylvania should go
credit for merely lucky guess.
New York's AZ electoral votes
are apparently in as close a fight
as ever the Empire State has Wit
messed. If there is a landslide
either way in New York State, It
will be a surprise to some of the
closest observers.
1t is possible to find Republican
experts who fear that President
Roosevelt has the State; and vice
versa. Various nation wide polls
fail to show a predominance for
either candidate; that is enough
to call it a sure thing.

Bedtime Stories
The Bold One Is Too Bold.

that he had left seven brothers and
sisters and his parents. But the truth
is. he wasn't lonesome at all The time
had come for him to 60 out into the
Great World, and his feeling Of inde-
pendence was too great to permit him
to be lonesome. He was true to his
name; he was unafraid. He came and
went in the boldest manner. He felt
quite grown-up. He had more or less
of that feeling which so many just
starting out in the Great World have,
the feeling of knowing just about all
there is to know.
Now of course the Bold One really
knew very little about the Great World
and the people who live therein. AS
yet he had met almost none Of the
latter, for few had ever come near
the old home where he was born, and
these few we're mostly feathered folk.
So it was that, filled with his own
sense of Importance, he was unafraid
when he heard some one coming along
a path up which he had started to ex-
plore. He stood still and listened.
Whoever it was coming down that path
was shutting along through the dead
leaves and was grunting and complain
ing. The young Fox stood perfectly
still, waiting.
Around turn in the path just above
him came queer looking fellow. His
legs were short He was clumsy look
ing He seemed to be mostly black.
His hair was long His tail was rather
short and somewhat broad, and there
was something queer about that tall
