Minnesota Doubtful
BIZ /. II. Masters.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Nov. A.
Political complexion of Northwest
Minnesota, Dakotas and Nebraska
on eve OF election remain virtually
unchanged with North and South
Dakota and Nebraska conceded by
most political observers in the Dewey
column and Minnesota doubtful de-
spite claims of both Democratic and
Republican leaders.
Roy E. Dunn, Republican nation
al committeeman, predicts Dewey's
election in Minnesota by $4,000 to
100000 votes"
Elmer F. Kelm, Democratic
Farmer Labor State chairman, says
the State will go for Roosevelt by
about 25,000.'.
When you get Democratic workers
in corner, they say confidentially
they're worried ti1at Dewey will win
by close vote.
When you get Republican workers
aside, they shake heads and say
they fear Roosevelt will win by
about $4,000.
They all agree it's a fight between
the rural areas, which admittedly
lean strongly toward Dewey, and
urban areas-Minneapolis, st. Paul,
Duluth, mining cities in northern
part of State and packing centers
on Iowa border-where labor leans
to Roosevelt. Unless Dewey can poll
more city and labor votes than
Wendell Willkie in 1910, he's
whipped in Minnesota.
There's one race in the Northwest
that may bring an upset. That's
Gerald P. Nye's campaign for re-
election as Republican Senator in
North Dakota.
With two strong opponents-Lynn
Stambaugh, Fargo attorney and
former national Legion commander
and Democratic Gov. John Moses
he can be unseated and North Da-
kotans wouldn't be surprised if he
were.
Stambaugh is a Republican run
ming on an independent ticket after
Nye nosed him out OF the primary
nomination by less than 1000 votes

Presidential Campaign Prints,
balboa" is the title of timely
exhibition which has been on view
at the Library of Congress for sew
eral weeks. Although the most re-
cent item is 40 years old, and the
earliest a century, one is surprised
to find how many similarities exist
between the slogans and appeals
of long-dead campaigns presented
by the old prints, and those of the
contest which closes next Tuesday.
The great majority of the prints
presenting the men who ran in the
16 elections beginning, with Clay's
battle with Polk, and ending with
the victory of Theodore Roosevelt
40 years ago, are Autographs, in
colors and black and white. The
famous firm of Currier & Ives had
near monopoly on the issuance of
campaign prints, to judge from the
present show.
Some of the earliest prints were
Autographed by N. Currier before
the partnership took place. among
them one of James K. Polk. the first
dark horse" who was elected by
the Democratic party in 1874. mar
rowly defeating Henry Clay. Wing
leader Currier apparently intended
no irony in depicting Polk The
Peoples Candidate" in long-tailed
coat and satin waistcoat, standing
before background of classic
columns, regal drapery weighted
down with gold fringe, and hand
some red-upholstered chair.
A colored portrait print of Henry
Clay, by Edward Weber & Co., Bal
timore lithographers, presents him
as Harry of the West" reminding
us that Kentucky probably seemed
as far west to the population of
1874 as California does to us.
The Mexican War hero, Gen.
Zachary Taylor, the last Wing Pres
ident, won in a close three -cornered
campaign in 1848. against Demo-
cratic Candidate Lewis Cass and
Free -Soiler Martin Van Buren. We
see the victorious Whig banner,
Taylor and Fillmore, in bombastic
colored lithograph by N. Currier,
who also made one Of New Eng
lands Choice" Daniel Webster.
The firm of Currier 81 Ives had
started on its sensational career of
supplying Autographs of innumer-
able subjects for the entire Nation,
by the time Abraham Lincoln be-
came President. In the critical cam
paign of 1864, Lincoln and johnson
are depicted in a Currier g. Ives
banner" triumphantly proclaiming
Peace! Union! and Victory!"
The Autographs of the campaigns
of Gen. Grant compose one of the
most interesting groups shown. One
assumes Grant would have consid-
cred his victory for the Union as
his chief claim TO support; but in
Currier g. Ives THE Workingman's
Banner" Grant is presented as THE
Galena Tanner wearing an apron.
The Hayes Tilden campaign of
1876, that Of 1880 between Garfield
and Hancock, and Clevelands fight
against Blaine in 1884, are repre-
sented with excellent groups of
prints. The interest and artistic
merit Of the exhibits decrease be-
ginning with the 1888 campaign.
More than 100 prints are included
in this exhibition, which is displayed
in glass cases on the second floor,
south side, at the entrance to the
Fine Arts Division.

Dewey Stronger in Missouri
BJ .JnunesfE Kim

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 4-The
slow, steady trend against the New
Deal has held its course in Missouri
through the 1914 general election
campaign, placing this border State
In the Dewey column this year, in
the opinion of almost every qualified
expert in the State.
A majority against Roosevelt of
about Is. 600 or more is predicted on
the basis of surveys taken in the
last few days. This reflects substan-
tial Republican gains in the rural
counties and in the traditional COP
sections Of the Missouri Ozarks. It
takes into consideration losses for
Roosevelt over his majorities four
years ago in st. Louis and Kansas
City. the big labor centers Of the
State.

Connecticut Leans to Dewey
By Robert D. Bvrnes

HARTFORD, Conn, Nov. A.
Normal political indicators seem to
combine to give Gov. Dewey a slight
edge in Connecticut, but leaders of
both parties confess to honest doubt
as to the outcome of TUESDAYS vot-
ing on the President. Democrats
prevailed upon the President to
make appearances in the State
today on his way to Boston, and Re-
publicans have pointed to the cam
paigning here of Roosevelt, Wallace
Representative Mccormack and
Senator Pepper as evidence of
Democratic worry.
Either party would gladly settle
the presidential race on a favor
able majority Of 10000, though the
public claims range from $4,000 for
Roosevelt, predicted by Homer Cum
mings, to 25,000 for Dewey. More
conservative estimates run as low as
10000 for Roosevelt and down to
5000 for Dewey.
There appear to be large defec-
tons from Roosevelt among the Ital-
ian and Irish groups, and smaller
losses among the Poles, Negroes and
French, as we'll as smaller race
groups in this cosmopolitan State
The Republican State ticket is an
unusually strong one, headed by
Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin, and there
appears to be general agreement
that Baldwin and his State COL
leagues will run 25 900 or more ahead
OF Dewey. There are about 5000
from Connecticut in military service
and ballots are expected from about
10000. Democrats claim this group
overwhelmingly, but Republicans say
they will get nearly an even break
Republicans expect Senator John
A. Danaher to run pretty much with
the State ticket. They acknowledge
there will be votes against him from
normal Republicans because of at
tacks on his record as that of an
isolationist, but both parties con-
cede he will also get some votes
which will be otherwise for Demo-
cratic candidates. One Democratic
estimate of the cut in his party for
Danaher places it between 10000 and
5000.
There are strong labor campaigns
against Representatives Ranulf
Compton in the Sd district and
Clare Boothe Luce in the fourth
Compton spent part of the cam
paign in England, and probably is
in the most danger of any of the
House delegation. Mrs. Luce put on
a whirlwind finish in her district
and even has picked up some pub
lie CIO support, despite the PAC
backing of her opponent, Miss Mar
garet Connors. Observers in her
district give slight edge, even with
a narrow Roosevelt victory in the
State. A Dewey victory in the State
would certainly return the four other
Republican Representatives, and
some or all of them might pull
through by comparatively narrow
margins If the States goes for Roose-
welt by 10000 or less.

Far West States Split
BIZ James De X. BrO,Du


SEATTLE, Nov. 4.-On the eve of
the election. Washington State
shows an increasing strength for
Roosevelt and can be placed in that
column. Montana is also showing an
increasing trend for Roosevelt. Ore
gon and Idaho are Dewey States,
both with comparatively small ma
jorities.
In all four States the vote will be
close. The registration is heavy, but
the vote cast will be about what it
was in 1910, with the Democratic
majority on the national ticket whit
tied down to bare majorities.
At this time it looks as if all four
States would elect Republican Gov
ernors, Washington, with almost a
million votes registered, giving Gov.
Langlie small majority. Repub-
1can candidates for the United
States Senate will be elected in
washington, Oregon and Idaho.
Democrat in Montana. At least four
members of the House on the Re-
publican side will be named in
Washington. All Republicans in
oregon and Idaho and Democrats
In Montana will be elected.
Washington, Oregon and Idaho
will elect Republican Legislatures
and a majority of their county and
State tickets. There will be little
straight party voting in any of the
four States.
A bitter nonpartisan fight RACES
IN Washington on two constitution
al amendments, one referendum and
two Initiatives. These have aided
IN splitting party voting. Roosevelt
Democrats have indorsed the initia-
tive and referendum and are fighting
the amendments, one to limit taxes
to 40-mill and the other an antigas
tax aiversion bill. The referendum
provides for Statewide public own
ership OF all electric utilities. The
initiatives are security bills.

curtain descended on Colorado's
1914 political campaign, leaders of
both parties predict the heaviest
vote in the history of the State will
be poured into the ballot boxes next
Tuesday. Total registration for the
State will exceed $4,000.
Discounting claims of both party
chairmen conservative forecasters
are agreed that the total Denver
vote holds the key to Gov. Dewey's
margin of victory over President
Roosevelt. They point out, however,
that substantial shift would be
necessary to Offset Dewey's outstate
strength which is counted on heavily
to keep Colorado in the COP
column. The balance of the ma
tional and State ticket are con-
fronted with Colorados notorious
record of independent voting. OBJ
servers predict. however, that Sena-
tor Eugene Milliken will equal If
not surpasS Dewey's plurality in his
race for reelection.
Closing one of the most heated
campaigns in the States history
marked by the appearance of many
top-ranking orators through the
State, Utah political leaders are
counting heavily on the industrial
and Independent voters to swing the
political pendulum in favor of the
respective candidates.
Veteran political observers still
hold to previously expressed views
that President Roosevelt is out in
front of Gov. Dewey in the presi-
Dental race and that Senator Elbert
D. Thomas will win over his COP
opponent, DR.. Adam S. Bennion.
New Mexico politicians who have
watched the States tangled political
structure shape into definite form
after a campaign featured by un-
paralelled switching of party affilia-
tion, summarize the national picture
as follows:
Betting odds still favor President
Roosevelt and incumbent Gov. John
j. Dempsey with Roosevelt running
ahead of the Governor. Few will
hazard a guess on Roosevelt's prob
able plurality due to the heavy
increase in the independent vote,
but most agree that it would take
substantial shift among indepen-
dent voters to offset the President s
popular majority.
| Winding up a rather drah cam
paign which saw little activity on
the national front, Wyoming Demo-
Gratis and Republicans are pinning
their hopes for victory next Tuesday
on the unexpected heavy registra-
ton which developed in the closing
weeks of the campaign.
Observers, however, see little If
any advantage for either side in
this development and still hold to
the view that Wyoming's three
electoral votes will remain in the
Democratic column.

Maryland Race Close
Bu Ed,Uin YOUNG.

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 4.-On
the eve of the election, many indica-
tions are that Maryland will be in
the Roosevelt column, as usual. It
would not be safe to take off the
doubtful tag, but two factors ap-
parently are enough to offset
Dewey trend that has been discerned
in recent weeks.
The two important Democratic
advantages are: Cd A heavy Roose-
velt vote in Baltimore City, and CD
service vote Of about 10000 which
is expected to run 10 per cent or
better for the President.
Strangely enough the conviction
that the city will give Roosevelt a
good majority came to the experts
with Thursdays flying visit of Gov
Dewey. A MONDAY parade through
downtown Baltimore played to a
relatively scant audience of from
Is, 900 to $4,000 which even the
Republicans admitted is not very
many people considering the dis
tance covered. And most of those
who turned out obviously were just
there; they had not come downtown
to see Dewey. Among them, were
many shouting for Roosevelt and
not a few booing the Republican
candidate.
Admittedly, manifestations of this
kind can be over-emphasized. But
many enthusiastic Dewey workers
were sobered after their candidate
had departed. Something was in
the air, and it spelled Roosevelt.
Some Republicans argued that for
what was doomed as the major
party rally on Wednesday, the DEM
ocrats had been able to attract only
TOO to the 2,648 capacity Lyric. But
standard rallies have not been we'll
attended by either side this time in
Maryland. 1t is easier to sit home
beside the radio and listen to the
champion candidates than to 60 out
and cheer for the preliminary boys.
And the Democratic rally had
offered only couple Senators.
In retrospect, it looks as if the
$4,000 majority of Roosevelt in
1910 was simply too much for the
Republicans to upset. Most agree
that the majority over Dewey will
not be anywhere rear that size, but
with the uncertain service vote
heavily weighted for Roosevelt, it
probably will be safe.
Still it Is not right to take Mary
land out of the doubtful list. Cau-
tious observers repeat that shifts
of votes in this State are always
underestimated until after they have
occurred, when plenty of people
come forth who knew 1t all the
time"
Butt 5000 votes are sizable
proportion of the 100000 that were
cast four years ago. And despite
apathy of the regular Democratic
headquarters and active support
from prominent Democrats, the Re-
publicans apparently have not
switched enough to change the
results this time. So in the last
analysis, Maryland leans strongly
to Roosevelt with some remaining
shades Of doubt.
The slight Roosevelt trend that
was noted two weeks ago In Della
ware has not been checked and that
State will lean toward Roosevelt
in close finish, that is also
doubtful.

would make the appointment to fiji

Kansas will elect full Republican

on down the list and will give its
electoral votes to Dewey by a wide
margin. The Democrats have made
no substantial bid in the State
during the campaign. There has
been no doubt of the outcome there
since the start of the drive.
Missouri's vote, which went to
about 100000 four years ago, is
expected to be considerably smaller.
Few expect it to go higher than
100000. Election officials expect
about 10000 soldier ballots to be
cast. These are not counted, under
the Missouri law, until Friday fol-
lowing the election. A close decision
on the regular returns might hold
the results in doubt until after those
ballots are tabulated.
