gathered along the tracks at ham
let's even where the train did not
stop.
Leaving the train In Wilkes-Bar
the Republican nominee addressed
10000 persons in the armory there,
with several thousand more listen
ing in from an adjoining ball park.
Then he drove 18 miles to Scran-
ton, through territory President
Roosevelt carried four years ago. In
every town along the way hundreds
OF persons crowded out into the
street to see him ride by even
though it was 10 pm. There were
mingled shouts for President Roose-
velt with the cheers for the Re-
publican nominee, but persons IA
miliar with the area said 1t was q
better reception than a Republican
candidate would have received in
that region four years ago.
Four years ago President Roose-
velt carried Luzerne County, which
includes Wilkes Barre. by 81 ,892,
and Lackawana County (Scranton)
by 10000. Gov. Martin said he ex-
poets the Republicans to carry Lu-
zerne this year and reduce the Pres
ident's margin in Lackawana.
Travelling at Q faster pace than on
Sny one day of his campaign, Gov
Dewey made seven speeches yester-
day between his appearance in Bal
timore at noon and his final appear
ance in Scranton late in the evening !
Starting late and moving at a
gradual pace, Gov. ,Dewey's. CAM.
raign has reached its peak in the
final 10 days, as evidenced by the.
crowds and amounting emphasis the
Republican nominee has put into his
attacks on the administration.
There still is a remote possibility
Gov. Dewey may make another
speech tonight, before the Madison
Square Garden wind-up, but Moth
ing definite had been decided early
this morning
After the Saturday night speech
in New York City, Gov. Dewey will
return to Albany. and deliver his
final Monday night message to the
voters by radio from the executive
mansion.
After Gov. Martin had expressed
his belief that the Philadelphia vote
would not be enough to give Presi-
dent Roosevelt the State. he pointed
out that when Clifford Pinchot was
running for Governor in 1880, Phila-
delphia went against him by 212 1000,
but he carried the State by $1,000.

garded by men who have followed
the situation closely as much too
high.
Republicans, for their part. are
counting on coming down to the
city with . lead Of perhaps $50, 900,
and this, too, Is regarded - high.
However, the Republicans point out
that 1t. Gov. Hanley's lead upstate
was around $4,000 last year, when
the vote cast was far smaller than
will be the vote next Tuesday.
Bloc Votes In City.
New York City has . number oil
bloc votes, the largest Of which Is
the Jewish vote. This Is counted In
the bag for Mr.. Roosevelt by the
Democrats. Republicans admit that
the vast majority OF this vote will
go against them, but they have
checked and found that they will
have some Of 1t. Another large bloc
is the Italian vote, which in the
past has been strongly pro-Roose-
welt. This year, as in MaSsachu-
sets, Connecticut and other States,
a good part Of this vote is OF the
Democratic reservation. 1t is one
of the chief worries Of Democratic
leaders.
The Poles, too, are not supporting
Mr.. Roosevelt to the same degree
as in the last election. Also there
are many defections among the
Irish. traditionally Democratic. And

Democrats, but he likely will have

who vote for Mr.. Roosevelt on the
war issue alone.

Highway patrolmen were at q loss
to explain why the bodies were not
found sooner. No attempt had been

One Of the top Democratic leaders

suit would be considerably closer
than In 1910. He added that the
Democrats could count on q ma.

would pull the ticket through, even
II Mr.. Dewey should lead In the
civilian vote. Some 600 900 appli-
cations have been made for ballots
by men in the armed services. and
1t Is estimated that more than

Mr.. Roosevelt leads IN Manhattan,

leads in Queens, 75,000, and Rich
mond, 10000. II these figures are
approximately correct, It would
mean a Roosevelt margin in the
city Of 715,000 votes. The estimator

sary to shave down the Manhattan

q .
NEW YORK, Nov. Enough
soldier votes are likely to be cast in
Tuesdays election to change the
political complexion Of at least 16
States.
Sealed IN millions OF envelopes
from ships and camps throughout
the world is the power, an Associ-
ated Press survey indicates, to
overcome the pluralities which Wen
dell Willkie achieved IN six States
four years ago, and the same power
to erase President Roosevelts mar
gin in 10 others.
II the division Of the civilian vote
is approximately the same this year,
the military ballots could assure
victory for the President or for
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. his Repub-
hcan opponent, In all Is Of the
States. These States represent 235
Of the 531 electoral votes.
Michigan II an Example.
Michigan, with 10 rungs in the
electoral ladder, Is an outstanding
example of a State whose preSi-
dental preference could be reversed
by the soldier vote.
Mr.. Willlie carried Michigan by
slightly less than 1000 votes-a
small fraction of the 165 900 GI bal
lots expected to be tabulated In the
Wolverine State Tuesday night,
Such a reservoir of votes could
wipe out the Democrats l940 deficit
It could counteract substantial
shift toward the Republicans at the
same time.
There is the equal possibility that
it might, with or without help from
the voters at home, top the Repub-
licans' bairbreadth victory OF 1910.
New York's estimated 400, 700 SOL
dier votes are nearly 100000 more
than Mr.. Roosevelt's 1910 plurality
there. The 10000 probable service
voters from Maine. which gave Mr..
Willkie a 7,473 plurality, could shat
ter the Republican tradition OF their
native State.
May Be Important Elsewhere.
The 16 States are not the only
ones in which the soldier vote may
have a marked effect. Oficials in
Pennsylvania and California, to
name two of the most populous
States, have been quoted in previ-
GUS AP surveys as believing the
soldier vote may be decisive.
The l6 are merely those in which
the soldier vote appears likely to
outnumber the 1910 plurality OF
either party. Six Of them gave Mr..
Willkie q total OF 56 electoral votes,
the others gave Mr.. Roosevelt ITO.

the way a total of not more than
10000 voters distributed around the
$3.50 line of 13 States will determine
the result. If they go for one can
didate, that candidate will have a
substantial electoral lead.
On the basis of the poll sample,
Gov. Dewey could win by taking
Massachusetts, New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania and Minnesota.
The margin involved in these States
may be the few thousands of votes
by servicemen-in which case the
result of the election might not be
known definitely for several weeks.
Such extremely narrow margins
are outside of the scope of sound
polling, and in the realm of specu-
lation. While the results of the
sampling are presented subject to
possible deviation of three points
every effort has been made toward
statistical allowance for unknown
factors such as voter turnout.
A special poll of voting apathy,
Just completed, indicates the inter-
est of Roosevelt voters in casting
ballots slightly exceeds that of
Dewey voters. In another test, Mr..
Roosevelt's mot sure" percentage
was higher than Gov. Dewey's in
September. BY late october the
Roosevelt voters had become more
certain. each side having about 4
per cent.
In still another test, those having
decided most recently appeared to
be less for Gov. Dewey than those
who had decided a month or two
before. None of these tests may be
conclusive of itself, but they point
against the Republican candidate,
and he needs just about all OF the
breaks to win.
Voters Attitudes.
knowledge of types of voters and
their attitudes in given State
helps to appraise the State. Where
the farm population is high, there
is q considerable factor in Gov.
Dewey's favor. Where AFL pre-
dominates over CIO he should have
the better chance. Industrial areas
and large cities are apt to favor
Mr.. Roosevelt, but he appears to
have lost strength there since 1910
and he could not lose very much
more and win the election. In this
election there are outstanding varia-
tions by race and religion and by
country Of origin.
How the armed services will vote
of course, is conjecture, but civilians
of similar age are definitely for
Roosevelt, while older civilians are
for Dewey.
In September Is States were
established as unlikely to shift
Since then Gov. Dewey appears to
have gained in California enough to
put the State In the pivotal group
but probably not enough to obtain
its electoral votes. The Texans
previously reporting don't know
have had their electoral situation
made clearer, while Mississippi
electors are now threatening to bolt
but neither State can be consid-
cred doubtful. The previously con-
sidered pivotal States Of Colorado
Ideho. Maine, Nevada, Wyoming
Kentucky and Rhode Islard now
seem reasonably certain.

ANNIVERSARY
IS OBSERVED

The fifth anniversary of the
Redeemer Lutheran and St

observed last Sunday morning
in a joint worship service Of the
two churches and their Sunday
schools in the building of the
local (Redeemer) church.
A large attendance participa-

Thank We All Our God".
The churches were organized
by the present pastor who came
to Hardin in 1889 after complet-
Ing his seminary training at
Concordia Seminary in St. Louis
Mo. The first service in Hardin
was held on Sunday, Oct. 20
1889 and St. Xavier on Jan. IA

Senator Dan Maddox of Big
Horn county, former chairman
of the Republican state central
committee, predicted the reel
ection of Governor Sam G. Ford
by an Overwhelming majority
this week.
THE people of Montana have
confidence in the integrity, alb
lity, and unblemished reputa-
ton of Sam Ford and will re-
elect him governor on Nov. 7 by
an overwhelming majority said
Maddox.
During Ford's administration
a huge. surplus Of S., 0O0, 900 has
been accumulated to offset a
deficit of SCI 900. Maddox weat
on to point out that Ford's ad-
ministration has been one oil
efficiency, that the governor
has given his time to the Of
flee and has fought CALAMITY
for the waters of Montana, fol
their use by the people of the
state. His record is one of which
we are Justly proud, as a COVER
nor, attorney general and as a

A person needing an application
needs only to drive to the cen
ter to get his application, which
when filled out can be mailed
to the Hardin office of the War
Price and Rationing board in
the courthouse. It was felt that
this would help save much
time, gasoline and rubber for
the people of the county, said a
spokesman for the board.

merly of Hardin, is with the
18th AAF in Italy, serving with
a group recently commended
for outstanding performances
in the European theater of OPP
erations, it was learned here

The group, a B-24 Liberator
unit, received its citation for
shooting down 40 of 80 Nazi
planes which attacked the unit
on a raid over the railroad
yards at Bucharest, Roumanla.
In the midst of a furious aerial
battle, in which the Nazis threw
everything at their command
at the American planes in an
effort to halt the raid, the
bombers unloaded their bombs
over the target and returned
with loss Of only seven planes.
Cook, who was employed at
the Hardin Hardware before en-
tering the air force, is entitled
to wear the Distinguished Unit
badge.
