Frank Fellows (R-Me) told a rallv
of Sussex County Republicans at
Georgetown last Friday night that
the election of November 2 repre-

ity to end regimentatiOn in their
federal government.
Addressing an audience of more
than $50 persons, who before the

the Georgetown High School cafe
terra, Mr.. Fellows, introduced by
U. S. Senator John J. Williams.
emphasized the value to the state
of returning U. S. Senator c. Doug
lass Buck and U. S. Representative
J. Caleb BOggs.
Mr.. Fellows recalled that he and
Mr.. BOggs are members of the
House Judiciary Committee and he
said that the cOngressman's SER
vice had been a credit to the state.
Congressman LaudS Buck
The Maine congressman, already
elected in the early election held in
the New England state, spoke of
Senator Buck as an outstanding
member of the upper house of the
national Congress.
His talk was devoted in the main
to the Importance of slow progress
under the Constitution, rather than
"hasty and irresponsible legislative
action as presented by the New
Deal"

A bill of indictment charging
Donald Linden LarmOre of SeafOrd

Conducted In
Each Of 48 States In
dicates Heavy Flood Of
Ballots.
BY Associated Press


WASHINGTON - The best avail
able estimates in each of the 48
States place the total vote for Pres
ident in the coming election at ST.
O35,256.
This is 1,214,944 more than the
record vote of 49,82O,312 cast in 1910
(ROOsevelt-Wilkie), and 3,O58,993
above that of 47,976,263 in 1914
(ROOseveIt-Dewey). The drop in
1914 from 194O was due largely to
war diSlocaitOns.
The 1948 estimate is the result OF
an Associated Press tabulatiOn OF
forecasts obtained from State cleo
ton officials and others. In some
instances the predictions are those
of party chairmen and experienced
newspaper observers.
66,S11,617 Are Eligible
The total vote is based on an es-
timated 66,811 ,617 of eligible voters,
that is, persons who have taken the
trouble to qualify through register
ing, paying poll taxes, and other
means. This compares with an esti-
mated eligibility roll of 6O,766,625 in
1914.
The 81, OBS, 236 total vote estimate
is below some other forecasts. If
the increase in persons of voting
age is taken into account and the
voters cast ballots in the same ratio
as shown in recent elections, the
figure would be considerably higher.
