Victory in! Washington
BY Gould Lincoln
Staf Staff CerTsspondsnf

SEATTLE, Oct. 1.-Gov. Dewey,
the Republican standard bearer
apparently has the State OF
Washington sewed up. He might
defeat President Truman here
even though Henry A. Wallace
and his Progressive Party ticket
were not in the field. With Mr.,
Wallace in the race, a Repub-
lican victory seems assured.
The Wallace strength is material
although the guesses as to how many
votes he will poll run all the way
from $4,000, the guess of more i'm
partial observers, to 100000, the
guess of Jerry O'Connell, executive
secretary of the Progressive Party
in the State. Mr.. O'Connell is a
former Democratic member Of the
House from Montana, who later be-
came secretary Of the Democratic
Party here.
The Progressive Party has q
nustling organization in this State
1t has taken literally scores of party
workers from the Democratic Party
It is, in fact, pain in the neck for
the Democrats. Not only has it put
presidential ticket in the field
but it has candidates for Governor
and all-important State offices, four
candidates for House seats and a
long list OF candidates for the State
Legislatures total of Ill candi-
dates in all.
Hotbed of Left -Wingers.
1t has II major Progressive head
quarters, located strategically
throughout the State.
Washington has for years been
known as a hotbed Of left-wingers-
all of whom supported Franklin d
Roosevelt in his presidential races
These are the people who have
turned to Mr.. Wallace. Appeals to
them by Democratic leaders on the
ground they are paving the way for
Republican victory have seemingly
fallen on deaf ears.
Gov. Dewey lost Washington to
President Roosevelt four years age
by 125 900 votes, in total vote OF
less than 100000. Today there are
about 100000 registered voters IN
the State and 1t is estimated that
million votes will be cast. The

OF Mr.. BaldW1nS announcement IN
the newspapers.
It was recalled that, before en-
barking last week on his 8,500-mile,
15-State final campaign tour. Mr.
Wallace engaged in public debate
with Mr.. Baldwin in New York on
the merits of a policy of throwing
Progressive support to major party
candidates who had good liberal
records.
Mr.. Wallace would not comment
on the new list of candidates, pend
ing a press conference late this
afternoon in Los Angeles. Lew
Frank, jr., his personal aide, said
he had no doubt the candidate
would support" Mrs. Douglas and
Mr.. Holifield but that 1t was still
uncertain whether he would speak
in their behalf.
We'll see what the situation is
when we get there" ~ MIR. Frank said
Mr.. Wallace will speak tonight at
a $l2.50-a-plate Progressive dinner
at Ciro's restaurant in Hollywood.
He is expected to discuss the motion
picture industry in its relationship
to world problems.
Speaks in Spanish.
The candidate, who will be Joined
iby his wife in Los Angeles, will re-
main in that city until Sunday
Afternoon.
At Ell Paso, Tex, last night Mr.
Wallace spoke in English and Span
ish before about 1000 persons, most
Of them Mexican-Americans, at the
City Coliseum. There were no Incl
tents. At Houston Wednesday he
was pelted with eggs and tomatoes
as he began to speak.
Before Mr.. Wallace appeared, his
Ell Paso audience was entertained
by Mexican songs and dances as
we'll as by the speeches Of local
Progressives explaining their quail
hcations for public Office.
I'VE talk so much about freedom,
Mr.. Wallace said. Il am afraid that
too often it is freedom for big busi-
ness to pursue super profits at the
expense of the people. am afraid
lit is freedom from taxes that should
be paid. am afraid it is freedom
from labor's rightful demands for
good Jobs and for security.
"Those," said Mr.. Wallace, ARE
the freedoms OF Dewey and Truman
and Thurmond."

Miss Bacon Granted
| Probation for ; Years
On Bad Check Charges

Miss Diegaen Jane Bacon, "a, for
merly of the 5000 block of Wiscon-
sin avenue NV. was given a
suspended sentence by Judge
Matthew F.. Mcclure In District

sisters Of a nine-count indictment
accusing her of causing bad checks
to be transported from Texas anC
New York to the District. Judge
MCGUIRE put Miss Bacon on pro-
baton after suspending a sentence
Of from four months to year. The
checks involved amounted to slight
ly less than $500.
The Government dropped charges
accusing Miss Bacon of forging anc
cashing checks amounting to more
than $1,000.
The dropped charges had accused
her Of forging the checks on bank
account of C. N. Shelton, described
as a Florida businessman and air.
plane pilot.
Brought From Mexico.
Assistant United States Attorney
Sylvan Schwartz, when asked about
the dropping Of the forgery
charges, said the Government felt
that the check transportation
charges to which the young woman
had pleaded guilty provided the
court with an opportunity to give
her an adequate sentence, which
could have run up to 80 years.
Miss Bacon, who Is college
graduate, was returned here from
Mexico last July to face the check
charges.
| In another sentence, Judge Nc.

Gov. Arthur B. Langlie, Republican
and by State Treasurer Russell H
Fluent, Progressive. Mr.. Fluent was
elected treasurer as a Democrat
Gov. Wallgren, a particular friend
of President Truman since the days
they were both in the Senate,
stands a chance Of losing by $4,000
votes, If observers here are correct
in their estimates.
Gov. Dewey, in his recent visit
to Seattle and other cities in Wash
ington, made an exceedingly good
impression. When he spoke in Seat
tie he addressed one of the larg-
est political meetings in the city's
history. The crowd was estimated
at 10000, with another couple Of
thousand in an overflow meeting
outside the Civic Auditorium. Gov.
Dewey's running mate, Gov. War
rem of California, Is highly popular
in Washington, and is coming into
the State later.
The labor vote, on which Presi-
dent Truman is relying in the COM
ing election, will be split in this
State three ways-with Gov. Dewey
getting his share. Labor opposed
to Gov. Dewey will be divided be-
tween Mr.. Truman and Mr.. Wallace.
Dave Beck of the Teamsters' Union
Is a good friend of Gov. Warren. He
is, however, no friend of Mr.. Langlie.
CIO labor is expected generally
to support Truman or Wallace, with
Dewey getting his share of the AFL
union members.
So far as the Taft-Hartley Act as
an issue in the campaign is con-
cerned, it should be remembered
that two Of the Republican House
members from Washington voted
against it, and one was elected after
the law had been passed. The two
who voted against it represent heavy
industrial districts.
