Mrs, Farmer, slight, greying
woman who spends each day by
her radio with picture of her son
on table nearby, sobbed. She
repeated over and over: God bless
my baby-if I could only have him
home again"
Mrs. Farmer told how the paral-
ysis started after the birth of her
first son 80 years ago. At first, she
said, she thought her back had been
temporarily weakened, but her con-
dition became worse until now she
spends most of her day in a chair.

She said her husband, con-
tractor, does all he can for her
comfort. and two sons, James E.,
jr, a carpenter, who lives near
Bailey's Cross Roads, and Jack, who
lives in Arlington, and a daughter,
Mrs. William D. Stout of Alexan-
dria, spend all possible time with
her.

bert worked as a truck driver and
just before entering the Army was
construction foreman at the Pen

er said. my life would be lot

Mrs. Farmer said she went to the
Johns Hopkins University Clinic two
years ago and had been told there
was no cure for her. She could not
remember the medical name for her
malady, but said the paralysis had
affected only the muscles. She now
can move only with dimculty.

Eastern Shore Placed
In Dewey Column
In Election Survey
This is the first OF a series Of
articles in a prediction surrey
throughout Maryland.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY,
Star Staff Correspondent,

SALISBURY, Md. Oct. %. - Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey may be a winner
on Maryland's Eastern Shore, which
is the 1st congressional district.
1t covers Of the States % counties,
with a population of approximately
200 .00O
Republican State Senate Leader
Wilmer Fell Davis, fredericksburg, is
expected to win the House seat,
held since 1889 by Representative
Ward, and before that for 10 years
by T. Alan Goldsborough. The Re-
publican swing largely is due to
strong antifourth term and anti
Roosevelt sentiment.
Senator Tydings, Democrat, seek
ing reelection for a fourth term
will lead the ticket easily.
The Dewey-Davis prediction dis
puteS the claims of all Democratic
leaders, including Senator Tydings
Gov. OConor, w. Preston Lane
national committeeman and State
campaign manager, and Dudley G
Roe, Sudlersville, the party's con-
gressional nominee. that there will
be a clean sweep fo- the Democratic
ticket.
The Democrats forecast in turn,
is challenged by Republican lead
ers, including Galen L. TAFT, chair
man of the Republican State Com
mittee.
Mr.. Roe claims he will win by
5000 to 5000; President Roosevelt
by 1000 to 5000 and Senator Tyd-
ings by 1000 to 10000. Mr.. Roe says
he will carry seven counties Cecil,
Kent, Queen Annes. Talbot, Dor
chester, Wicomico and Worcester
and comedies Mr.. Davis two counties
by a small margin and
Somerset.
Mr.. Davis expresses confidence
that he will carry six counties. in
Guiding Queen Annes. his oppon-
ent's home county, which he says
will go for Dewey, Tydings and
Davis" Senator Tydings said Queen
Annes is the strongest Democratic
county in the State.
llllS canvass OF the Eastern Shore
shows strong sentiment for Gov.
Dewey, even on the part of veteran
Democrats, and that there will be
big reduction in Mr.. Roosevelt's
1910 vote of 39,954.
The soldiers vote and the votes
OF women, who for the first time are
casting more ballots than the men,
will have big influence in the elec-
ton. A total of 1864 absentee bal
lots have been requested.
1t is a safe prediction that a ma
jority of the women's votes on the
Eastern Shore will be cast for Gov.
Dewey and Mr.. Davis. Many sup
porters of Mr.. Ward. whom Mr.. Roe
beat in the primary, are still sore
over the way he was defeated ana
may defeat Mr.. Roe.
Senator Tydings and Mr.. Roe have
been censured severely because
neither mentioned Mr.. Roosevelt in
a big rally at EastOn.

Democrats Predict
Reelection Of Smith
To House After Tour
Porty Leaders Expect
Eventual Defect Due
To Labor Views

Certain victory for Representative
Smith in the Virginia 9th district
four -cornered House contest was
predicted last week by Democratic
leaders in town of six counties of
the eastern section of the district.
The counties covered were Arling-
ton, Fairfax. Prince William, Loud
oun, Fauquier and Culpeper.
While leaders predicted that
Judge Smith will be returned to
Office by wide majority, it was
forecast that the Virginian's labor
views eventually will bring about his
defeat If he is ever opposed in the
primary by qualified Democrat" !"
Despite the active campaign being
waged by Mrs. Elizabeth. Chiffon
Murray, running as an independent
Democrat, party leaders say she is
scarcely known in the rural sections
They predict that Mrs. Murrays s
strongest support will come from
Alexandria and Arlington and Fair
fax counties where she may poll the
majority labor vote plus few Gov
ernment employees and ardent New
Dealers" Mrs. Murray also may
receive a small bloc of votes in the
Charlottesville section, it was pre-
dicted.
Republican Splh Seen.
Lawrence Michael, Arlington. who
is running as an independent Re-
publican, will not receive all of the
Republican vote in the district, OBJ
servers said, because he was not
formally nominated by the Republi-
can party. Observers said Mr..
Michael might poll 10000 votes, COM
pared to 16,099 polled by Col. Henry
B. Goodloe, Charlottesville, who op-
posed Mr.. Smith in 1910.
Clark T. Robb, Herndon. Socialist
candidate, will not receive enough
votes to be counted as opposition,
1t was predicted.
Explaining predictions of Mr..
Smiths possible future defeat, lead
ers said his stand on labor issues
has been so militant that many
conservative Democrats in the dis
trict, who are sympathetic to GER
tain problems of labor, are begin
ming to doubt Mr.. Smiths ability
to maintain his position of leader
ship in the House in the face OF
ever-increasing powers gained by
labor.
Cloud Estimate Doubted.
Referring to predictions earlier
last week by Joe Cloud, Mrs. Muir
rays campaign manager, that his
candidate would receive $1,000 votes
in the district, one party leader
said this was about $4,000 votes
too high"
Leaders said that allowing for an
approximate vote in the district of
900, Judge Smith should poll
about $1,000. This would compare
with 28,727 polled in 1910 and would
leave approximately 10000 votes for
Mr.. Michael and 5000 for Mrs.
Murray.
In her campaign, Mrs. Murray has
accused Judge Smith of failing to
support the President and with be-
ing a Republican disguised as a
Democrat. In his only answer to
her charges, Mr.. Smith accused his
opponent of boiling the Demo-
cratic party" in the face of a signed
pledge to support its qualified can
didateS,
