with a grain of salt. Campaign
managers are expected to talk
that way. Most of them believed
the political doctrine once that
voters decide weeks ahead of time
who they will vote for. It seemed
as if Mr.. Wyatt was apologizing
for a slow start rather than seri-
ously expecting a fast finish.
Today, whether it was planned
that way or not. the prediction
seems to be coming true.
Cautious Optimism.
Few things are harder to pin
down than the mood of a cam
Ipaign train at any given moment,
The tides Of individual and group
opinion are shifty and unpredict-
able. But to the extent that 1t
can be assessed. the mood Of the
stevenson camp today is one of
cautious. but genuine optimism.
For the record, Of course, the
Democratic leaders are bold as
brass and blithe as schoolgirls on
IA picnic. Politicians-even those
who make a point of talking sense
to the American people-are not
given to public crepe-hanging on
the eve Of election.
In private conversation, they
are neither over-optimistic nor
defeatist. The general attitude
is something like that of q man
who has just bet his shirt on the
toss Of a coin and believes in his
luck.
Surprised by Sudden Surge.
If Mr.. Wyatt's prediction is
fulfilled next Tuesday, however
lit probably will have little to do
with anything that he or Gov
Stevenson has said and done in
the final week. In the course of
the last few days, everyone, in
|cluding the campaign manager,
has beeen surprised by the fresh
and apparently spontaneous surge
of enthusiasm and support.
It is reflected in street crowds
and studio audiences. It is echoed
in taxicabs and barbershops. Vol
unteers and professionals in many
parts Of the country. to their de-
light, are basing their reports and
their renewed hopes on it. For

Truman Warns G. O. P.
This Isn't Last Time

By a stoff corr..pondens Of The sto,

GRANITE CITY, ILL.,, Nov. L.
- President Truman made his
final whistle-stop talk here late
today, but served notice that the
opposition can continue to look
for trouble from him.
"I don't want the Republicans
to get their hopes up too nigh"
he chuckled after telling Illi-
noisans that he had come to the
end of the line. This is far
from the last time that I shall

not inspire in their supporters the
zeal 1t takes to get out the vote
WILKES Optimism Recalled.
This reporter recalls election
night of 1910, when he had ar
opportunity to spend five minutes
with the late Wendell Willkie
about $3.50 in the evening.
The dynamic, broad-shouldered
Republican nominee Of that year
|sat watching the early returns on
one Of the few television sets
then in existence. He was in the
same Commodore Hotel, in New
York. where Gen. Eisenhower will
receive the verdict of the voters
this year.
At $3.50 that evening Mr.. Will
kie still radiated confidence. AS
he glanced at partial returns
from New Jersey he remarked
hopefully:
ut looks like a horse race
doesn't it?"
About an hour later Mr.. Wilkes
political roof had caved in all
around him and Franklin d
Roosevelt was in for a third term
The point of this anecdote Is
that Mr.. Willkie did not let him
self think Of defeat until it was
an accomplished fact.
New Factors in His Favor.
This story is not recalled here
to suggest that Gen. Eisenhower
is approaching a similar climax
There are factors working in his
favor that were not present in
1910. It is cited only to show that
the headquarters of a candidate il
an unreliable place to take sound
ings on how an election is going
to turn out.
There are many reasons for this
whether it be the Republican O,
Democratic caravan. If you stay
with it for days or weeks you FIND
the partisans building up the fav.
orable signs and pushing the un.
favorable ones into the back
ground. When things are moi
going well it will show through the
veneer Of confidence.
But veteran campaigners ex-
pect ups and downs. They brace
themselves for the bad breaks and
keep looking hopefully for the
good ones.
Win or lose, Gen. Eisenhower
has put into this race all the
vigor of a man accustomed to
leading his comrades into much
more serious battles.
Travels $1,000 Miles.
He has travelled more than
81, 900 miles back and forth across
the United States since he took
of his Army uniform last sum-
mer. Nearly half of this record
breaking distance was by air, the
rest by train.
He has shown his greatest
vigor while riding hundreds of
miles in motorcades through
