WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-It
may be just a little time
political twister, as some OBJ
servers here insist, but if those
are real straws that l see in the
wind, certain politicians are in
for a tornado of trouble after
November 5.
Why AFTER November s.?
That's a good Republican ques-
ton in some quarters, but the
Democratic answer is that except
for the primaries held in recent
months, there have been no cleo
tons to investigate since 1898
and it would have been utterly
impossible to complete sleuthing
and prepare indictments before
election.
Even if they could have got
the cases ready, no court could
have moved fast enough to try
them. Suppose the persons
charged were innocent. Think
what injustice would have been
done then to persons running on
the party ticket of those who
had been charged

send offenders to the peniten-
tiary.
4. Attorney General Robert
H. Jackson has publicly de-
clared an out-in-the-open war on
election frauds and all viola
tons of the voting and campaign
statutes now on the books, and
backed it up by appointing
Maurice NJ Milligan. u. S. dis
trict attorney at Kansas City,
Mo, as field general for the
drive. Milligan is the 55-year-old
attorney who prosecuted Tom
PendergaSt and sent that long
time boss of Kansas City politics
to the penitentiary. Sixty-three
other defendants who stood trial
were convicted; 36 others pleaded
guilty and 169 threw themselves
on the mercy of the court.

state in 1923 when Al Smith led
almost 3-to-2 in the city.

These experts, however, con-
slider it virtually impossible for
the Republicans to overcome up

100000 if the total vote were the

Pittsburgh and Cleveland, as
well as running well in New
York City, would make the out
look rather dismal for the New
Dealers. RooSevelt'S greatest
strength, outside the Solid
South. is concentrated in the
big cities.
Should Roosevelt show 1896
vote-getting form in the big
northern towns and run neck

small towns and agricultural dis

would be rated a sure thing with

ION the eve of Navy Day, de-

with reference to the present
emergency situation. no persons
will be allowed to enter the nav

be in full dress, Captain Jacobs
stated, and they may be observed

US. WARNS FRENCH
ON POSSESSIONS

WASHINGTON, Oct 26.-Sec-
rotary of State Cordell Hull to-
day informed the press that
President Roosevelt had sent
warning notes to France concern
ing French possessions in the
western hemisphere.
Taking recognition of the turn
of events being brought about as
a consequence of late conferences
between Adolf Hitler and vice
premier Laval and Marshal
Petain, with the possibility that
French possessions in the Old
World may be handed over to
German control, the United
States has determined that no
possessions on this side of the At
lantic will be included in a sim
liar transfer
The note of warning was sent
yesterday, Secretary Hull stated.

Vote statisticians and non-par-
tisan political observers are in
general agreement as to such ma
jor indicators as the states of
New York and Illinois. These
two, particularly New York, may
foretell the story.
South Is Clue
Virtually all the experts figure
that if Roosevelt carries both
those states, he's in. Many be-
lieve he can lose Illinois, along
with flock of other large north
ern states. and still win If New
York is in the Democratic bag.
This is because RoOSevelt'S
backlog of sure" southern states,
plus an array of states leaning
Democratic, gives him a big
head-start statistically in the cleo
tora1 column. However, if Willkie
is running close to Roosevelt in
such Democratic strongholds as
New York City and Chicago
Cook county,, COP. chances
of corraling New York and Hli-
nois will be very favorable. And
Republican prospects for a ma
tional triumph will be excellent.
F.DR- Took Both In IS
If RooSevelt's pluralitieS, on the
other hand, are piling up at 3-to

they did in 1886. then indications

LONDON. Oct. rs. - Counter
claims of huge destruction were
released today by England and
Germany as a result of aerial
battles and forases sent forth
from respective airports last
night and this morning.
DNB official dispatches from
Berlin stated that one of the
largest attacks of the war had
been conferred over London and
a score of other large cities last
night. one observer reporting
that returning planes left a total
of 127 separate fires burning in
London.
On the British side of the pic
ture, Dover reported this morn
ing that flares from fires burning
in Calais and Bologne were
clearly visible across the channel,
twenty miles away, indicating
that Royal Air Force planes were
Successful in their attempts TO
further destroy invasion points.
Long-range guns on the French
side of the channel hammered
away at Dover all morning long
today and sent many shells into
inland territory. Small damage
from these commandments, how
ever, was reported.
Royal Air Force attacks last
night, besides the concentration
on channel ports, was directed
against power stations in Ger
many. Many of these were re-
ported destroyed, in Hamburg
and Kiel areas. No flights to
Berlin were reported by the r.
A F. last night.
Late dispatches from DNB to-
day claimed serious damage to
major naval ship of the British,
in the Atlantic ocean north of
Ireland. Submarines were given
credit for the Gripping blows de-
livered. No confirmation of the
incident could be gained from the
British.
Many casualties were expected
to be reported from last nights
heavy attacks on London and
other cities. No estimate or tabu-
lation was available, however, at
a late hour today.
