peron Ends Campaign
With Appeal by Wife,
Women Get First Vote
BY the Assoeioisd Press

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 10
Argentina's S 8 million eligible voters
heard final opposing campaign
pleas last night to re-elect Presi-
dent Juan D. Peron and save the
country from foreign imperial
lists" or to vote against him and
save the country from economic
bankruptcy. ..s
With these last-minute salvos,
the campaigning ended-24 hours
before tomorrow'S national elec-
tions. The 24-hour deadline is
set by law.
Gen. Peron brought In one of
his biggest political guns by broad
casting a recorded appeal from
his ailing blond wife, Eva, now
recuperating from an operation,
to her beloved shirtless ones
Peron-supporting laborers-to put
her husband back in Office for
another six-year term.
Women Get First Vote.
The power of Sonora Peron, who
tearfully turned down an offer
last August to run for vice presi-
dent on her husbands ticket, is
something to be reckoned with.
She has been instrumental in get
ting raises for Argentina's gov
ernment-backed labor union men,
bers, and she carried through
successful battle to give Argentine
women their first vote in tomor-
rows elections.
Although the opposition parties
got no time on the radio and very
little notice in the newspapers,
their leaders still held hope that
through their rallies and pam
phlets they could get the people
to unseat the Peron regime.
But observers felt the outlook
seemed clear for a Peron victory. |
Ricardo Balbin, presidential can
didate for the main opposition,
told his Radical Party followers
at rally in Buenos Aires that a
vote against Peron is a vote for
democracy and freedom, which
would pull Argentina out of
threatened economic bankruptcy.
Higher Wages Promised.
The opposition hopes are pinned
on the fact that the race will be
decided on the popular vote this
time instead of an electoral col
lege vote. In 1916, Gen. Peron
came to power with SIS per cent
OF the popular vote, but with 80s
per cent of the electoral college
vote. Is
Gen. Peron. who took leave T.
from the presidency to run his
