that 1t clears Gable.

BY WILLIAM B. ARDERY

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-R)-Wen-
dell L. Willkie coupled tonight an
eleventh hour appeal for all citizens
to vote with an assertion that "apa-
thy undermines liberty"
The republican presidential nomi
nee, smiling and appearing confident,
said in a prepared radio address that
"the greatest danger to democracy
is that the citizens, who have the
final authority, may become careless
about it..
"They -. take for granted many
of our democratic institutions" he
said, "They forget that such insti

''The Sacred Duty"
Terming it ''the sacred duty of
all to vote in tomorrow's election,
Willkie asked that no one let bad
weather keep him from the polling
booth.

Whether or not you are willing TO

This was the second of three ra-

for election eve. In an afternoon
address he declared that his every
act as President would be designed
ito keep this country out of foreign
wars, and to keep it at peace"
In his evening address over the
CHS network Willkie eliminated
much of his prepared text because,
his aides said, of time limitations.

To a nation living in "the sun light

for them "the most powerful safe
guard of our democracy"

declaring in a statement that he
awaited the verdict of the electorate
tomorrow ''in full confidence of
vindication of the principles and
policies on which we have fought the
campaign"
after the ballots are counted
MI Roosevelt told the country in his
broadcast, "the United States of
America will still be united.
Record Expected
There is every indication, he said,
that the number of votes cast tomor-
row will be by far the greatest in
American history.
'That is the proof-if proof be
needed-of the vitality of our demo-
cracy," he asserted.
The obligation of the people to
their country does not end with the
casting of votes, he added, as every
one of us has a continuing respon-
sibility for the government which
we choose"
Democracy, the President said, is
not "just a word, to be shouted at
political rallys and then put back
into the dictionary after election
day."
Mr.. Roosevelt spoke from the
study of his home overlooking the
river.
Final Appearance
Earlier in the evening, before a
crowd gathered on the busiest street
Of nearby Poughkeepsie, the chief
executive made his final public ap-
pearance before the election and

statements predicting victory for

republican chairman, said he expect

to Wendell L. Willkie, and added
that republican candidates would
make great gains all down the

Emery B. Denny, democratic

that both the state and national
