that the total vote will be 100000
The ballots of some 10000 service
men will all be counted election
night, so Tennessee won't be one
of the States which threaten to de-
lay the decision.
The congressional delegation will
remain eight Democrats and two
Republicans. There are no Senate
races.
1t was E. H. Boss" Crump's Dem
ocratic headquarters in Memphis
that sent out the bedraggled apple
men. Answering the strong anti
Roosevelt ranks in the cotton busi-
ness, Crump hung banners calling
attention to scent cotton under
Republicans, 21-cent cotton under
Roosevelt. Across the State Roose-
velts tried leadership in the war
and international affairs and the
great benefits to the State from
IVA have been the party's leading
issues. The Republicans have bit
terly attacked one-party govern
ment and lambasted Commies, Hill
man, Browder, the PAC, bungline
and bureaucracy. Business is def
nitely on the COP side, but in the
minority. Tennessee went for Hard
ing and Hoover, but it won't give
its IL electoral votes to Dewey. 1t
is definitely in the fourth term
column.

Virginia Sure Democratic
BIZ C. w. Houston

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 4.-There
is no reason to believe that the
Roosevelt Truman ticket will not
claim Virginias II electoral votes on
Tuesday by wide margin, but some
of the States politicians believe
some of the congressional aspirants
will lead the national ticket. They
question whether Mr.. Roosevelt can
duplicate his 125,000 majority of
1910.
Republicans haven't put up much
of a fight in Virginia, but anti-New
Deal Democrats have lent them
some aid. The outcome is not in
doubt, but conditions obtaining in
the campaign are such as to cause
much speculation regarding the fu-
ture of internal State politics.
Senator Harry Flood Byrd's con-
tinued silence on whether he would
support the administration he has
criticized and fought on its domestic
policies has caused widespread COM
ment. Some of his adherents have
gone so far as to state privately they
believe he may be losing prestige by
his silence and dragging his ma
chine" followers down with him.
Some opponents to the machine"
dominated by Senator Byrd, which
has been ultraconservative, have
high hopes that the trend toward
liberalism which was fostered by
refusal of the State leaders to take
a strong stand for Mr.. Roosevelt
may prove to be the opening wedge
they need to revamp Virginia's po-
lltical setup.
Three congressional races con-
tinue to hold major interest. The
campaign between Howard w.
Smith, Democratic incumbent and
New Deal critic, against Mrs. Eliza
beth Chiffon Murray, Independent
Democrat, in the 9th is being
watched with greatest interest. al
though the closest races are in the
I'd, where Democratic Candidate
Ralph H. Daughton, opposed by
labor for the nomination, is run
ming against Thomas L. Woodward,
and in the 9th, where the New Deal
Representative, John w. Flanagan,
is opposed by Ralph Lincoln, Re-
publican.

the balloting that the President is
ahead, the scrappy campaign waged
by the Republicans, the acknowl-
edged COP trend here and the con-
siderable detection of Democrats
may contribute to a typical Cali
fornia upset"
1t is recalled that Theodore Roose-
velt carried this State over Wood
row Wilson by less than 200 votes
in 1912 and that four years later
Wilson defeated Hughes here by a
margin of less than 1000 votes.
Productions of rival campaign head
quarters claim the State for Roose-
welt by 100000 to 100000" and for
Dewey by more than 100000"
Both Republican and Democratic
election squads are planning to stay
on the job right up to the closing
hour on election day. Majority opin-
ion favors the election of Republican
1t. Gov. Frederick F. Houser over
the incumbent Democratic United
States Senator Sheridan Downey.
In the neighboring States of
Nevada and Arizona substantial ma
jorities are expected both for the
Roosevelt-Truman ticket and for
the Democratic incumbent Senators
in each State.

Dewey Gains in Oklahoma

~ w 1tOyhtOLu of OOhS.
AUSTIN, Tex, No. 4.-As the
national campaign closed, Demo-
cratic nominees were certain of the
42 electoral votes of Texas, Louis
lana and Mississippi, after tenn
porary control of Democratic elector
nominations in both Texas and
Louisiana had been stripped from
the hands of anti-Roosevelt South
ern revolt leaders by party action
and Supreme Court decisions, and
unpledged electors in Mississippi
had been brought into line by the
Democratic Governor.
But in Oklahoma, Republican and
Democratic hopes We'd in an ap-
parently equal prospect of victory.
with some late Republican gains
rejecting an improved prospect of
winning the States electoral votes
and the probability of making con-
gressional gains in the State. Nom
partisan observers in Oklahoma City
believed the large independent vote
of the State had veered slightly
toward the Republican ticket, par
ticularly on the "One Thousand
Club" issues and the attack of Walsh
at the midweek on Democratic
Nominee Truman
In Texas, the rabble- -rousing song

paign when some of the same per-
sons, May elector nominees of the
"uninstructed" Democratic conven-
ton, were ousted from the ballot by
the party's September convention
and the action sustained by Texas
Supreme Court.
The Texas Regulars tried to form
a coalition to get Republican sup
port for the third party on the
theory the Republicans had no hope
of winning but might put the regu-
lars over for a majority and thus
withhold the % Texas votes from
Roosevelt and in a close national
election send the decision to the
House of Representatives, expected
by the regulars to have Republican
majority next year. 1t appeared
likely that the Republican nominees
will get larger vote than the dis
affected Democratic Texas regular
Over 100000 Texas votes have been
predicted Four years ago Roose-
velt got $4,000 and the Republican
ticket 1879 900 votes.
