Victory Time
By JAMES Y. NEWTON

An atmosphere Of supreme
confidence pervaded the Repub-

ton in the minds of party work.
ers not who will win the election
but how early Adlai Stevenson
will concede defeat.
The spacious G. o. p. head
quarters in the Cafritz Building
was manned by a skeleton staff
the hard work Of the campaign
a thing Of the past and the issue
now UP to the voters.
The @. o. P. staff. headed by
National Chairman Leonard w.
Hall. conducted a pool on the
election but it wasn't on who
would win. The object of the
pool was to pick the time Mr.,
Stevenson comedies reelection
of President Eisenhower.
Expect Early Reaction
Guesses ranged all the way
from 10 pm. tonight to Ass am
tomorrow. Mr.. Hall, who took
time out to return to his Oyster
Bay, N. Y, home to vote, guessed
11:55 pm. His public relations
director, l.. Richard Guylay, Sc
lected 1885 am. as the time. Mr.
Stevenson would concede.
Mr.. Guylay said reaction to
Mr.. Stevenson's closing remarks
about the Presidents health was
one of "revulsion." He said num-
erous calls came into national
headquarters from Democrats
and independents as well as Re-
publicans who apparently were
shocked by the Democrtic candi-
dates closing remarks in Boston
last night.
Predicts Vote Loss
Mr.. Stevenson said "that
every piece of scientific evidence
We have, every lesson of history
and experience. indicates that a
Republican victory tomorrow
would mean that Richard M.
Nixon would probably be Presi-
dent of this country within the
next four years." Mr.. Guylay
predicted that the remarks would
cost Mr.. Stevenson several
hundred thousand votes.
Late this afternoon Republi-
can headquarters will be removed
to the Sheraton Park Hotel,
where thousands, including the
President and Vice President
Nixon. will gather to watch the
election returns tonight. And
all seem sure they also will cele-
brate a big victory.

The son of a wealthy textile

The social security tax for any
self7employed person in work
