cuseQ Gov. Thomas E. Dewey OF
word twisting" in the Republican
nominees speech on Federal bank
deposit insurance.
Mr.. Rayburn said Gov. Dewey

Mr.. Rayburn asserted that the
late House Banking Committee
chairman, Henry B. Steagall of Ala
bama, was author of the plan in
1882, that a Democratic House

been ayerted had the Republican
leaders not turned deaf ears to the
entreaties of the great Alabama
banking authority" Mr.. Rayburr
said.
No one can ask better evidence
OF President Roosevelt's support OF

~ the HnpoSaatcQ FIEbS,
WORCESTER, Mass, Oct. o.
Senator Truman of Missouri, Demo-
cratic vice presidential candidate,
declared here tonight that "all of
the world" would interpret a de-
feat of President Roosevelt, "as a
victory for our isolationists.
You know The President by his
actions" he said in an address to
a Democratic rally.
"All of the world knows where he
stands, and all of the world would
interpret defeat of the President
as victory for our isolationists."
Senator Truman said he planned
to concentrate the remaining days
of the campaign on reiteration of
his challenge to Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey, Republican standard bearer,
to "repudiate' eight Republican
"isolationist" Senators seeking re-
election.
Senator Truman told reporters
abroad his special car he thought
the smaller United Nations Ought
to be represented at the peace table
and ought to have equality of treat
ment with the Big -Four, although
the larger nations will have to as
sumo the larger responsibility for
enforcement of the peace"
In his speech tonight, Senator
Truman said the Republicans have
renominated eight Senators whose
public utterances and voting rec
ords in the Senate brand them as
isolationists.
He previously described the eight
as Senators Taft, Ohio; Nye, North
Dakota; Tobey, New Hampshire;
Danaher, Connecticut; Reed, Kan
sas; Millikin, Colorado; Wiley, Wis
consin, and Davis, Pennsylvania.
Truman said that the Republican
presidential candidate had refused
to say whether he "repudiated" the
eight Senators after today at AL
bany, I demanded that he answer
it or be judged by his silence"
The Democratic vice presidential
nominee said that Gov. Dewey had
Endorsed Senator Wiley, "one of
the worst of the lot" for re-elec-
ton to the Senate, as we'll as
Richard Lyons, "a Chicago Tribune
stooge and an isolationist, for elec-
ton as Senator from Illinois"

Already 134,684 ballots have been

high as 10000 or l75,00O.
How the soldiers vote, therefore,
may be deciding factor in the
election. These soldier votes will
be counted on election day-not
later as in Pennsylvania. The count
of the absentee ballots in New Jer-
