President Is Given
Only Even Chance
To Garry Maryland
Baltimore Sun Reports
He Must Get Lead
Of rs, 900 Votes in City
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 23.-Presiden
Roosevelt has no better than al
even chance to carry Maryland ir
the November election today, anc
to do so he must win minimum
majority of $4,000 votes in Balti-
more City, the Baltimore Sun sale
today.
In a story which the paper saio
was based on estimates of unidenti-
fed "strategists at Democratic head
quarters" The Sun said party lead
ers were hoping to poll 25,O00-vote
majority in the city to offset Re-
publican trend in the counties and
to poll a sizeable majority of alb
sentee service votes.
'At the same time, there are
others in the group who say that
their sampling of selected areas in
the city does not warrant any op-
timism-in fact, gives no assurance
that the result in Baltimore will not
fall by few thousand in the Dewey
column as readily as it may wind up
in Mr.. Roosevelt's favor by only a
small margin the newspaper said.
Democratic Campaign Bumpy.
THE Democratic campaign for the
fourth-term candidate, according to
reports reaching the party head
quarters and discussed privately, is
riding a bumpy sea of cross cur
rents that defy charting and any
relatively sure prediction OF their
ultimate direction.
Reports to headquarters from the
counties and the various sections of
the city are, as whole, bad from
the fourth-term standpoint"
The Sun said high Democratic
figures in the State believed that
the campaign was about over to all
intents and purposes, and that fur
ther campaign talks by either the
President of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey,
G. o. P. candidate, would have lit
tie effect.
1t added that one bright spot in
the Democratic picture was the
opening of the Philippine invasion
and said some party leaders felt
the action might start a swing in
their direction-a case of Manila
taking Dewey, so to speak,
Carried State in 1910.
The President carried the State
In 1910 by approximately 115000
votes, and the Sun said party STRAIT
eglsts figured it would take a shift
of 57,506 of the 384,546 persons who
supported the President that year
to even the board" in Maryland,
and a greater swing to put the
State in the Dewey column.
The Sun, quoting the same uni

lngs, Democrat, of Maryland ap-
peared certain of reelection over
Blanchard Randall, jr., COP candi-
date, but by a majority much be-
low the record margins with which
he was favored in previous con-
tests"
The paper said the contest in the
first congressional district between
Dudley G. Roe, Democrat, and State
Senator Wilmer Fell Davis, Republi-
can, would probably be decided by
narrow margin. and it predicted that
George H. Fallon would win over
Representative Ellison, Republican,
in the fourth district.
The Sun said Democratic party
leaders expected the reelection of
Representatives Baldwin, Democrat,
second; D'Alesandro, Democrat.
third; Sasscer, Democrat, fifth, and

Virginia Former Speaker
Not Yet Decided on
GubernutoriuI Ruce
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 23.-
Whether Ashton Dovell's speech
here Saturday night was the OPEN
Ing gun In gubernatorial campaign
depends entirely on what the peo-
pie want" the former speaker OF
the Virginia House said today at his
home in Williamsburg.
In that broadcast address, which
was sponsored by the Virginia
Committee of 100 for the Re-elec-
ton of President Roosevelt" Mr..
Dovell assailed the State Demo-
cratic leadership for what he said
had been it's hostile opposition" to
President Roosevelt for the last IL
years.
He said in the talk that he had
mo object or ambition save to pro-
cure for my State a progressive
leadership in both State and ma
tional affairs"
Withdrew From Race.
The Williamsburg attorney en-
tered the gubernatorial campaign
four years ago, but withdrew after
Colgate Darden became a candidate
with the support of the organization.
Since then he has taken little pub
lie part in politics.
Both he and j. Louis Reynolds,
who is State activity chairman of the
Committee of 100, said they had re-
ceived dozens of congratulatory tel
ephone calls and kilograms, and Mr..
Dovell said his calls included two
from Representatives.
He will speak at a williamsburg
rally Saturday night and will stick,
he said, Ito my general theme, to
try to awaken the apathetic and to
give them something to talk about
and take action on"
Opposed Poll Tax.
Mr. Dovell, party stalwart in the
House of Delegates under former
Gov. Byrd and speaker during the
regime of the late Gov. Price, also
urged abolition of the poll tax and
improvement in public education
! He added that the Virginia Demo-
cratic leadership had encouraged
block payment of poll taxes; had
fought abolition of the poll tax and
had refused to follow the will of the
people in State and national con-
ventions.
Mr.. Dovell declared that while
Virginia's educational system is be-
ing slowly starved to death, the
leadership of the State so poorly
trusts the Legislature. elected by the
people, that it salts away as sur
plus millions of dollars to liquidate
a funded debt which ought to 60 to

cal lobby with huge financial
resources" is resorting to distor-
ton in fighting the bill.
THE bill proposes free choice
of doctors and no physician need
come under it if he chooses 9TH
erwise," Murray said.
1T might tend to reduce in
come of highly lucratice medical
specialists, but l am sure it
would improve the income of the
average doctor and give the
great middle class better and
more uniform service" he said
Wagner Bill Discussed
Pros and cons of the Murray
Wagner-Dingell social security
bill were aired at a symposium
held during the conference.
DR.. Gustave L. Mcclellan, rep
resenting the viewpoint of the
Wayne Medical Society, charged
the bill seeks to impose a system
of foreign, bureaucratic and in
ferior practices on the American
people. "
Speaking for the bill, Adde's
said the threats IF physicians to
discontinue practicing medicine
if the bill becomes law would
not stop American people from
continuing their fight for better
social security laws.
The bill would provide for un-
employment insurance, old age
benefits, healh and disability in
surance, survivors insurance and
public assistance program. So
cial security pay roll taxes would
be increased eventually to 6 per
cent of an employees earnings UP
to $4,000, with another 6 per
cent paid by the employer.

Gentlemen:
] received the package which
you sent me for Christmas.
Every item it contained was
something useful and prac-
tical. Please accept my very
genuine and sincere thanks.
On last Saturday, money
order for five dollars (S5.OO)
came to me, and, of course,
that's something which is al
ways useful. Thanks again,
1t isn't just the gifts them
selves that are so gratifying
to me, but it's also what those
gifts represent. It's the spirit
behind them-the determina-
ton of the laboring people of
America not only to see that
their forces overseas receive
all the necessary supplies to
win this war, but to see also
that the men wearing khaki
are made to know that the
folks back home haven't for
gotten them as individuals as
we'll as fighting forces.
Again thanks for the in
terest which you have shown
in me, and please always know
that my gratitude will abte
only with my breath.
Sincerely yours,
Clifford M. Miller.
