ton of some such necessity, the
British have removed their former
four-star admiral and replaced him

Large Cities Hold Spotlight
As Key to Election Outcome
Poll Shows They Are, Generally, for Roosevelt
With Rest of Pivotal Stotes for WiIIkie

show what States apparently are
safe. RooSeveltS safe total should
be used as a starting point, and at
tention should be concentrated elec-
ton night upon the pivotal States
to see how many more electoral
votes Roosevelt adds to his mini
mum. If returns show several large
States going to him. the necessary
266 electoral votes become probable.
Willkie. to win, must capture nearly
all of the large Eastern and Middle
Western States.
Party Shifts Favor Pattern.
Early returns usually mean very
little in totals. Political analysts
keep at hand figures for the same
counties or districts in the last pres
idential election-data readily OBJ
tainable by any one. Party shifts
are figured constantly and after a
while the shift begins to form a
pattern. This is used as the basis
for estimates.
Simple rules of thumb make 1t
possible for any one about two hours
after earliest closing time to begin
rough estimates. Cards for the
pivotal States may be arranged on
a table. Each State card should be
divided off so that the left side has
space for counties having cities of
over 100000 population. and the
right side space for all other coun-
ties. Then each of these is subdi-
vided into Roosevelt column and a
come in they are entered in the
proper space, to the nearest thou
sand.
If. for example, large city shows
AZ .281 Roosevelt and 81 468 for Will
kie, the figures AZ and 81 are Ell cred
in the right-hand space. From time
to time the columns are added and
a ratio or percentage is struck
But the left-hand space and the
right-hand space cannot be added
together because more returns NAV
be in from large cities than from
others II is merely necessary to
multiply the left-hand ratios for
UHc CdiuludIt ny OiIe HuillUcI, lHe
right-hand by another number. and
divide the result by the sum of the
two numbers. This gives a rough
estimate Of the way the State will
finally swing.
How Estimate Is Made.
Example: A total shows so per
cent Roosevelt in counties with large
cities, and 40 per cent in other
counties. Table might show that
first is to be multiplied by one,
second by two and the result di-
vided by three. 60xl=60. 40x2=80.
so plus 80=140 140 divided by 3=47
per cent Roosevelt as estimate for
the whole State.

BY ARCHIBALD M. CRossLEY.

Large cities as q group may be ex-
pected to favor Roosevelt, the re-
mainder Of pivotal State, in gen.
eral, to favor Willkie. Strictly in
dustrial communities, regardless Of
size. are expected to line up in the
New Deal column.
In the Northern medium size and
small cities and towns and rural
districts. the Roosevelt ratio is apt
to be at least IA per cent or Is per
cent less than in 1886
In most of the vital States a per-
centage drop in Roosevelt's follow
ing in large cities corresponding to
the drop elsewhere would shift their
electoral votes. The spotlight is
therefore on the large cities.
Election returns from New York
and Chicago (city only should run
roughly to for Roosevelt-which
allows for the expected detection. If
the ratio is much higher, the State
should 60 to Roosevelt. If much
lower, it should go to Willkie. What
a large city will do is particularly
difficult to predict because of ma
chine activity and last minute mass
campaigning, where great numbers
of people are reached in variety
OF ways at one time
surprises" Watched.
In interpreting election returns,
the object is to look for surprises.
1t would be surprising if the State
of Kentucky should run very close,
and would indicate the possibility of
a Willkie tide nearly everywhere he
has been. On the other hand. if
Maine or one of the principal farm
ing States of the Middle West, such
as Kansas. Nebraska, etc, should
be swinging close to the line or
toward Roosevelt, Wilkes chances
would be far less than expected.
1t would not, however. be surpris-
ing to find trending toward Willkie
almost any non-industrial county
which has no large city. 1t would not
be unusual to find italian districts
OF large city going for Roosevelt
by a small margin, or even against
him. Missouri and Wisconsin this
year would not be surprising if close.
II the margin should be narrow in
Detroit, or Los Angeles, it would be
highly significant.
Unless some upset occurs which
cannot be foreSeen, returns from the
Southern States will involve only
question of the New Deal margin.
