While his Republican opponent
Wendell L. Willkie is campaigning

vile, Saratoga Springs and the
historic Saratoga battlefield, all in
the upstate section. .t..
Stephen T. Early, White House
secretary, billed the tour as, one
for defense inspection, to permit
Mr. Roosevelt to make a personal
checkup on the larmyS great ar
senal at Watervliet which, in the
IA months ending last September
80, manufactured 1000 cannon.
The section always returns a Re-
publican majority. If it is big
enough, it overcomes the invari-
able Democratic majority ir' New
York City and gives the states
electoral votes to the Republicans.
Therefore it is important to ,,the
Democrats to mold 'lown the Re
