PARTY CAMPAIGNS
 APPROACHING PEAK

(Continued from Page N center on politics, but this year the World War and national policy have put the election into the back ground.
 Odds still favor the Democrats to continue their string of election victories extending from 1921, but the voters refusal to become aroused about the election makes the out- come subject of sharply disagree ing views. The fact that party lines will be crossed does much to com- plicate the situation, with the solid Italian vote, including ballots from most Italian Democrats, while Democrat campaigners expect heavy support from the normally Repub- ncan Yankee voters.
