D. T.. Absentee Votinq
Shows Sharp Decline
From 1910 Election
Bureaus Of Both Parties
Estimate Thot Only
5000 Have Been Cast

Absentee ballots for Tuesdays
election have been cast by only
5000 Washington residents legally
domiciled elsewhere, absentee vot-
ing bureaus operated by the two
major political parties announced
yesterday. This is little more than
one-third of the mail vote in 1910.
! Imponderables which produced a
spirit of uncertainty at both the
Democratic and Republican bureaus
concerned the number of Washing
ton residents who will travel to
their respective States to vote in
person, the size of the soldier vote,
the effect of travel restrictions and
pre-occupation with war tasks.
The two bureaus were in agree
ment on one point: That the voting
will be relatively light as compared
with the 1910 election.
That year estimates were made
here that approximately 100000 resi-
dents of Washington would vote. If
the actual total is known to politi-
cal leaders the figure has not been
made public.
5000 for Democrats.
The Democratic bureau, which
opened a week ago at 1920 H street
NV, said approximately 5000 bal
lots had been applied for and exc
cuted, compared with approximately
$1,000 absentee votes in 1910.
The Republican bureau, located at
1922 H street NV, announced it
had served approximately 5000 per-
sons who voted by mail, as COM
pared with 5000 in the election two
years ago.
1.-TWO years ago." Democratic bu-
reau officials said yesterday, I'VE
circularized our entire mailing list,
but we did not do so this year."
The Republican bureau empha-
sized that uncertainty over the
volume of the soldier voting has
been increased by the fact that
men IN the armed services in this
country can secure ballots from
their commanding officers for the
first time, provided they are quail
fed in their legal domiciles.
Mdlly SOlUlcIS anu SdllOIS we're
among the 5000 who voted here
by mail, the two bureaus stated.
Extra Gas Allotments.
Both bureaus said gas rationing
permits extra allotments to persons
desiring to 60 home to vote. The
number of voters who will take ad-
vantage Of the regulation to cast
their ballots in person is uncertain
The bulk of Washington's vote,
it was said, will be in Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware
and Pennsylvania. A fairly good
vote was predicted for Maryland.
Both the Republican and Demo-
cratic bureaus will be kept open
from to 6 o'clock this afternoon.
The Democratic bureau schedule for
tomorrow and Tuesday follows: To-
morrow, 7:3O am. to 9 pm; Tues
day, am. to 9 pm. The Republican
schedule is: Tomorrow, 9 am. to
pm: Tuesday, 7 am. to 9 pm.
At both bureaus the usual pre-
election confidence was expressed,
although neither bureau went "over-
board" in making predictions.

the minority party the most effec-
tive voting strength it has had for
a decade.
With the Republicans needing SO
turnovers to win clear majority
of House minority party
leaders clung to their claim that they
would show net gain of at least IS.
But Representative Drewry, Demo-
crat, of Virginia, head of the
Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee, said the present Demo-
cratic majority will remain sub
stantially unchanged"
The Democrats now have 257
House memberships and the Re-
publicans 165. Eight seats are va
cant, of which Democrats held
seven.
Mr.. Drewry said, I'VE are in the
midst of great emergency. It
would be most unwise to overturn
or to reduce the Democratic strength
in the House, especially since the
Senate and the presidency remain
Democratic. To do so would be but
to substitute inexperience and legis-
lative quarrels for the experience
and knowledge which has been
gained in the trying years which
have just passed. The result would
be confusion and possibly disunion.
The people of the country cannot
afford to take such a chance at this
time when their own self-preserva-
ton is at stake"
Frank Gannett, assistant chair
man of the Republican National
Committee, forecast a gain of IS
seats in the House and unspecified
Senate gains on the ground that
farmers were outraged at the way
the administration, by directive,
is distorting" the Price Control Act
and that the people resented need
less withholding of the truth about
the progress of the war"
"The country only at this late
date is learning that at least three
of Doolittle's planes fell In Japa-
nese territory and we still do not
know how many of our airmen of
that expedition languish in Japa-
nese concentration camps" Mr.
Gannett said.

Senate Majority Leader Barley
yesterday issued statement urging
every eligible voter to 60 to the polls
Tuesday "as duty to his country
in its hour of greatest peril"
The text of Senator Barkley's
statement follows:
"All the cost of this war in blood
and treasure and hardship will be
worse than futile unless out of it
shall come peace that shall lift
from the backs and hearts of the
people of our country and all coun-
tries the burdens which weigh them
down and the fears which haunt
them day by day and year by year
and generation by generation.
"These burdens must become un-
bearable unless they are lifted; and
these fears must rob mankind of the
joy of life and the pride of achieve
ment unless they are dissipated and
the souls of men and women again
are stimulated by the hope of re-
stored and safeguarded freedom.
Senate Holds Destiny.
"These hopes may be fortified and
perpetuated by the Senate of the
United States during the next few
years, or they may be dashed asun-
der and thWarted altogether by that
same body. The United States Sem
ate, in the field of domestic policy
and in the field of international re-
lations, is the most powerful legis-
lative assembly in the world.
I'm this latter field, wherein lies
the course our country shall follow
in its treaty making activities, two
thirds of the Senate must approve
before the President or the Depart
ment of State or the nations of the
world can consummate any treaty,
however wise, just, far-sighted or
humane it may be.
I'm other words, how utterly i'm
portant and indispensable it is that
those who are chosen for this great
service shall be broadminded, well
informed, free from narrow or pro-
vincial prejudices, and equipped
with courage and determination
The fate of mankind for generations
may hang on the result of the choice
which the people will make two days
from now.
1--WE have sent and are sending
and must continue to send our
fighting men in all branches of the
armed services to the battlefields OF
the world. We cannot now foresee
upon what fields they will be re-

Central Businessmen

Renah F. Camalier, former coun-

sociation Friday night in the Ameri-
can Legion Clubhouse, 2437 Fiji

known Senators and Representa-
tives. Senator Norris of Nebraska,
81-year-old veteran Independent, is
locked in a tough contest with his
Republican opponent, Kenneth
Wherry, and a Democrat, Foster
! May. President Roosevelt has made
the Norris candidacy an exception,
outside his own State, and has urged
his reelection as he did in 1886.
Much will depend in this race upon
the size of the vote the Democrat,
Mr.. May, is able to obtain. Mr..
May, a newcomer to national poll
tics, is radio commentator who has
made many friends in his State.
The effort to defeat "isolationist"
members of Congress centers par
ticularly on Senator Brooks, Re-
publican, of Illinois and Represent
ative Hamilton Fish, Republican, of
New York, and Representative Bar
ry, Democrat, also of New York.
Senator Brooks is matched against
Representative McKeough, Demo-
crat. The probabilities are he will
win. Mr.. Fish, who has been the
target of an even more bitter cam
paign, stands a good show of re-
election. Mr.. Barry is expected to
win, too.
COP Chances Listed.
The chances for Republican gains
in the House and the States in
which they may be made are listed
as follows:
California, 2 to seats; Colorado,
/; Connecticut, 3 to 4; Delaware,
l; Illinois, 4; Iowa, l; Maryland, l
to 2; Massachusetts,. l; Michigan, l
to 2; Minnesota, l; Missouri, to 3;
New Jersey, 2; New York, to S;
Ohio, 4; Oregon, to 2; Pennsyl-
vania, 4 to s; Washington, 2; Wis
consin, to 2, and Wyoming, l.
There are also outside chances
of Republican gains, as follows:
Delaware, l; Idaho, /; Kentucky, l.;
Montana, l; Nevada, L; West Vir-
ginia, !, and Rhode Island, !.
Democrats may win Republican
seats in the House as follows: ,
California, l; Indiana, to 3; New
Jersey, l; Ohio, l.
Probable Republican gains in the
Senate are as follows: Colorado, l.;
Iowa, /; Michigan, /; South Dako-
ia, l, and Wyoming, i. There are
also chances for the Republicans
to gain one Senator in each of the
following States: Delaware, Ne
braska, New Jersey and more re-
mote chances in Rhode Island and
Nevada.
Notwithstanding hard fights in
several States, it looks as though
the Republicans would lose no Sen
ate seat to the Democrats in the
coming elections. Senator Lodge,
Republican, of Massachusetts, is ex-
pected to come through a winner
over Representative Casey, his
Democrat opponent.
Democrats Rely on Labor.
In the campaign now closing the
Democrats have in some of the
States relied more than ever upon
labor organizations to help carry the
burden. This is particularly true
in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Ohio. Labor unions, in gratitude te
the New Deal administration In
Washington, have gone to the bat
all over the country for Democratic
candidates.
While this is helping the Demo.
Gratis in industrial centers, it is
handicap in the rural areas. Th'
farmers, generally speaking, are bit
ter because they believe that indus
trial labor and industry has beer
coddled by the administration a
their expense This feeling will
make itself evident on election day
in some of the big States of tht
Middle West and the West. 1t will
not be without effect also in thu
agricultural areas of such State!
