Major Speakers Make
battle-ground Of Missouri
BY JAMES F KING,


JEFFERSON CITY Mo-, Oct. 10
Taking no chances Of losing an indi-
Gated lead for The Roosevelt Wallace
ticket in Missouri, Democratic ma
tional strategists this week sent two
Of their top-notch speakers into the
State and made plans for third
headliner before the month is over.
Appearance of two high New
Dealers and Wendell Willkie, Re-
publican presidential nominee, made
Missouri one of the major political
stump speaking grounds. Mr.. Will
kie talked in st. Louis Thursday
night and again the next morning
in Jefferson City.
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
made a dash into the agricultural
sections of the State earlier in the
week and was folltwed two days
later by Paul v McNutt. Federal
social security administrator. Sec
retary of Interior Ickes Is scheduled
for a speech next week to answer
Mr.. Willkie
A rousing finish now is being pre-
dicted for the last two weeks in
Missouri, but it is doubtful the Wig
orous G. o. P. challenge can over
come the big Democratic majorities
Of 1882 and 1886.

Nevada Drive So Quiet

for reelection. At the same time
Samuel Platt and Ralph w. Latin,
Republican candidates for the Sen
ate and Congress, respectively, start

This means that the campaign in
Nevada Is on in earnest. These can
didates are the only ones who will
be called upon to speak, or whom
any Of the voters really cares to
hear speak, unless, Of course, the
national committees should send
some speaker of note.
The campaign has been SO quiet
that leaders Of both parties cannot
understand it and are worried. DEM
ocratic leaders are still sure Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Senator Pittman
and Representative Scrugham will
carry Nevada, but not by the big
margin President Roosevelt had four
years ago.
The Republicans have an extern

to lack the funds they would like.

Arizonans Hear Mrs. King

BY T. w. B. ANDERSON,

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 19.-Ari-
Iona's Willkie Democrats opened
fire this week with their most
formidable weapon, Mrs. Isabella
Greenway King, former Democratic
Representative from this State.
Mrs. King, long an intimate friend
Of President and Mrs. Roosevelt and
Z bridesmaid at their wedding, fol-
lowed up her recent declaration in
New York City that she was sup
porting Mr.. Willkie by addressing
. Phoenix rally in his behalf. She
is one of the States most popular
residents and admittedly has one of
the largest personal foIowings Of
any one In Arizona.
Offsetting the surprise appear
ance of Mrs. King was the return Of
Senator Hayden, who Joined the
Democratic campaign party headed
by Sidney P. Osborn, Phoenix pub
Usher and gubernatorial nominee.
Democratic leaders continue to
count upon the return Of Senator
Ashurst, who assured the State
Committee he would come to cam
paign for President Roosevelt and

BY LAURIN H. HEALY,

CHICAGO, Oct. ia sudden up
surge in Republican strength marked
tie weeks battling for Illinois 20
electoral votes, and If the latest
polls and political signs do not fail.
Wendell L. Willkie has joined
Dwight Green. Republican nominee
for Governor, in the winning column
here.
From every corner Of the State
Republican chieftains told Of q sur
prising intensification of sentiment
for Mr.. Willkie. His recent Eastern
campaign trips, his hard-hitting,
sincere speeches. and an end to the
plumbers" that marked his earlier
campaigning were credited with
turning the tide.
Mr.. Willkie himself toured South
ern Illinois Thursday and Friday in
an attempt to consolidate his gains.
But observers agreed that the battle
for Illinois Is not over. Democratic
big guns are just opening up their
strongest salvos. Next week Mayor

BURLINGTON, VT, Oct. 49,
The most optimistic Of Democratic
leaders here privately will concede
Vermont to Wendell Willkie. Yet
all are confident there will be record
Democratic gains in this old G. o. P.
State. They give mounting New
Deal agricultural and labor benefits
as one major reason, and hasten
to add that q change of admins
tration in the face of . national
emergency is repugnant to Vermont
conservatism.
Oddly enough, this same con-
servatism has been used by Republic

BIRMINGHAM Ala, Oct. 49,
With nothing happening to shake
the belief that Alabama will cast
substantial Democratic majority
next month, citizens of the State
this week have beer enjoying the
humor and sidelights Of a campaign
that has no "big top" performance.
The Alabama Democratic Willkie
Club this week predicted 1t would
get 100000 votes for him. This
would mean about cne-third Of the
votes, as Alabama, on the basis Of
past records, may BE- expected to
east about 800, 900 ballots.
Inasmuch as ALI M. Landon re-
ceived only IS, ,38S votes in 1896 and
Herbert Hoover only 34,678 in 1882,
it can be seen that the Willkie
Democrats are quite optimistic. They
are not quite 50 optimistic as they
were in the beginning Of the cam
paign, however, wheE there was talk
Of Mr.. Wilkes carrying the State.
There Is more enthusiasm than
0Su81y u 0CCAI AL oAA <AA000AAA0 - GOA
Dental campaign. This may be at
tributed partly to the general cir
custances Of the election and partly
to the fact that considerable Willkie
money has been raised in the State.
The Republican caravan Of democ-
racy" continues to tour the State
with its elaborate trailer, loud
speaker, fanfare, pretty girls and
speakers. It's operations are being
watched rather closeIy. not with an
idea Of future usefulness in presi-
Dental campaigns here but the
possibility that candidates in Demo-
cratic primaries might adopt its
methods.
A minor strain Of humor, as well
as . bit Of testimony to the topsy-
turvy state Of Alabama politics this
year, was injected with the fevela-
ton that D. W. Gilbert Of Eldridge,

Ohio Sees .NoEvidence
Roosevelt Visit Shifted
Wilkes Slight Lead
Stute Strow Votes
Indicate G. O. P. Victory
By Narrow Margin
By L. r. CONNOR,

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Oct. l9.-
President Roosevelts trip to inspect
military defenses in Ohio took him
to a steel company in youngstown,
a tentative site for a bomb loading
plant, Fort Hayes in Columbus,
Wright Field in Dayton and. Incl
dentally, face to face with several
thousands Of Ohio voters who
turned out at every stopping place
to see him.
Although it was described by him.
self as a non-political tour, neither
his supporters nor his foes in Ohio
considered it so. The former inter-
preted his visit as a device to cinch
Ohio's 26 electoral votes, which they
say he has a good chance of getting.
His political foes interpreted it as
part of plan to try. at all costs.
to win back q State which is slipping
from his control.
In view of two major Statewide
polls the latter assumption must be
considered more nearly correct. for
the straw votes coming in indicate
an almost certain Republican VIC
tory.
One of the polls has not yet got
into the urban centers. 1t covers
% Of the States 88 counties at this
writing, all of them rural or semi
urban. OF the 23 the poll gives
l8 to Wendell L. Willkie, with an
indicated election plurality for him
in these particular counties of
slightly more than 10000. This is
compared with an actual plurality
in 1886 for Mr.. Roosevelt. In the
same counties, OF 146,9l9.
The other has taken straw votes
in so of the 88 counties and includes
returns from the large cities as well
as from the rural areas. The total
figures at this writing are 10000
straw votes for President Roosevelt:
21,619 for Mr.. Willkie, or. in per-
centage, 4S per cent for the Presi-
dent and 81 for Mr.. Willkie. The
latter's lead in this poll has con-
sistently increased from q fraction
of a per cent from the time the first
straws were tabulated to the COM
Portable margin of difference exist
ing today. On this basis of approx
mately 10000 votes in Ohio there
is indicated here plurality OF
l20 900 for Mr.. Willkie.
There is no indication that Mr..
Roosevelt's visit to the State changed
this prevailing sentiment. On the
other hand, wild and enthusiastic
crowds again greeted Mr.. Willkie
on his second visit to the State this
week, from Marion to Cincinnati.
