entertainer, as Republican gubernaA
torial candidate, is bidding for the
Senate in Tennessee, against Rep
resentative Kefauver. Here, too, the
only chance the Republican has
lies in Democratic dissension. Ed
Crump, Democratic Boss of Mem
phis for a quarter century, is gun
ming both for Mr.. Kefauver and Mr..
Truman in this State.
In the present House there are 246
Republican seats, 1877 Democratic
seats and for the American La
Dor Party of New York These
figures cover vacancies. The whole
435 House seats are at stake.
The Republicans have a 57-vote
overall margin as the House stands
today. To gain clear majority of
one in the House, the Democrats
must win 20 seats now held by the
Republicans and Laborites. There
seems no possibility of such an out
come. The only question is whether
the Democrats will cut into the Re-
publican strength.
COP. Claims 260 Seats.
A Republican estimate is that the
COP will have 260 seats in the new
House, which would be a gain of IA.
The Republicans base their predic-
lions of gain on the expected large
vote for the national ticket The
estimate looks to gains of four seats
in California, one in Colorado, one
in Utah, two in North Carolina one
in Virginia, one in Illinois, one in
Indiana. one in Maryland, one in
Massachusetts,, one in Pennsylvania
and two in Brooklyn-16 in all. Some
of the claims seem out of line with
reports. Also, the Republican esti-
mate takes into consideration no
possible losses to the Democrats
except two.
| The Democrats are pressing hard
for some of the Republican seats in
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Connecticut,
California, New York and several
other States where usually Demo-
cratic districts went Republican in
the 1916 landslide.
Democrats confidently expect to
reduce the Republican margin in
the House-though they cannot hope
for control without a Truman vie
tory.
OF the gubernatorial elections,
several are of particular interest.
The Ohio race is between Repub-
lican Gov. Thomas j. Herbert and
former Gov. Frank Lausche. Demo-
crat. Two years ago Gov. Herbert
unseated Mr.. Lausche, unexpectedly
Mr.. Lausche today is running ahead
of Gov Herbert in public opinion
polls, and is likely to win. Ohio has
long history of Democratic Gov
errors, even dreing periods when
the Republicans have had control
of the Federal Government.
Bowles Race Watched.
Another race arousing great in
terest is that of Chester Bowles,
Democrat. of Connecticut, former
OPA administrator and particular
pet of the New Dealers. While he
is making a hard face, the odds
appear to be against Mr. Bowles.
In Massachusetts,, the Democratic
gubernatorial candidate, Paul A..
Dever, former attorney general, OPP
poses Gov. Robert F. Bradford, Re-
publican. Democratic leaders claim
a Dever victory, but if Gov. Dewey
carries Massachusetts by as large a
vote as expected, Gov. Bradford will
probably come through.
Gov. Dwight H. Green, Repub-
lican, of Illinois is seeking a third

with word about the campaign.
He said the Republicans had waged
1t, not just for then own good, but
above all for the good of the
country.
This thought REQUIRED to him
throughout the talk
Il am very happy" he said mo-
ment later, that we can look back
over the weeks of cur campaigning
and say: this has been good for our
country am proud that we can
look ahead to our victory and say
America won"
He closed the speech, which vas
Nationally broadcast, on the same
note:
Let us humbly pray that our
children and their children will look
back on this election of 1913 and
say, with thankful hearts: That
was good for our country"
Between times, Gov. Dewey drew
unfavorable comparisons between
the Democratic and Republican
parties and their campaigns. He
also sketched the advances to which,
he said, an American unified under
Republican leadership could look
forward.
The candidate allowed himself his
one touch of partisan levity in dis
cussing President TrumaR and the
Democrats, who held their winduE
rally Thursday in Madison Square
Garden. Tomorrow night, Gov
Dewey observed, is Halloween.
Il mention the date he said
because since this campaign began
some people have been trying tc
give the impression that every nigh,
is Halloween. Grown men have
been going around the country
threatening: vote our way, or the
COLLINS will get YOU
I'VE have been hearing blood
curdling stories about 'mossbacks,
'bloodsuckers, men with calculat-
ing machines where their hearts
ought to be, and one. shadowy orge
dlItr announcer.
Gov. Dewey said Congress hao
been give special Halloween treat
ment by the "tellers of tales" and
that the people have been told that
when the Republicans win they
will tear you apart"
But he added, "our people have
not been fooled or frightened. Hal
loween will be over tomorrow night
but next Tuesday the people OF
America are really going to brine
this nightmare to an end"
Gov. Dewey said the Democratic
Party uses scare tactics because it
is "Splintered" and divided"
Its right wing doesn't know what
its left wing is doing-or wishes it
oion't-and what's left of it is ex-
ceeoingly unhappy about both
wings" he said.
In this grave hour, a party that
cannot keep the peace within itself
cannot be entrusted with the solemn
task OF uniting our country or OF
keeping peace IN the world.
Gov. Dewey recalled his opponents
had attempted to ridicule MIN fol
his repeated references to the need
for teamwork in government. The
democratic Party, he said, "has
been divided against itself for Sc
long that it has forgotten the mean.
Ing OF unity, and it never did know
the meaning of teamwork or com.

American democracy challenged by

"We also should realize that this
democratic form of government we

that if we do not perform our citi-

of losing these privileges. When
