Roosevelt’s campaign for the presidency reached its semi-final stage - today when the Democratic nominee, in the study of his New York home, concentrated on preparations for his last two appeals to the electorate—the first i:i- Bril kly.n, tonight, the second at Madison Square Garden, tomorrow. The governor, who again assailed the Republican leadership for its so-called “campaign of fear,” in an address last night to the Re-pubHcans-for-Roosevelt League, is expected to reiterate his charges tonight in Brooklyn. it was an unusual political audience that greeted the candidate in the ancient Metropolitan Opera House last night. The famous I “golden horse shoe” was filled with voters, many of them in evening clothes. But from these boxes, | throughout the rally, came cries for “beer —we want beer.” Restraint was forgotten when the two | principal speakers, Roosevelt and - Owen D. Young, were introduced. I The governor’s speech was one of the most vigorous of his campaign. That of Young brought the chairman of the board of the General Electric Company, a great friend of Alfred E. Smith, to the platform for the first time since I the campaign began. Young at- ?

A grand total of 3,064,497 bal-' lots were returned and tabulated. Os these 1,715,789, or 55.99 percent are for Roosevelt, 1.150,398, 1 or 37.53 per cent voted for Hoover and 148,079 or 4.84 per cent! registeied their sentiments for Thomas. Hoover shows a slight gain from the 37.33 per cent of the total vote which ho had in the semi-final returns and the 37.19 per cent for him In the quarter-final returns, which latter tabulation was the first to contain balloting from all forty-eight states. The final vote gives Hoover a lead in the seven states of Maine, Vermont. Now Hampshire Massachusetis, Rhode Island. Connecticut and New Jersey. Roosevelt leads his Republican rival in all of the other forty-one states. A division of the vote by an Electoral College apportionment would give Roosevelt 474 votes to Hoover's 57. The Literary Digest editorially concedes the possibility that I Roosevelt may carry five of the ! states in which Hoover leads in the final tabulation. It is stated that in the 1928 poll Rhode Island and Massachusetts were indicated as Hoover states but were carried by Smith in the election. An analysis of the present vote, it is shown, reveals that ballots have not Iteen voted in adequate quantity by Democratic voters in these states. It is pointed out that the same situation obtains in Connecticut. New Hampshire, and New Jersey, where the declared Republicans voting in the poll outnumber the declared Democrats considerably in excess of the actual relative party strength in the states, and! the magazine, therefore, notes! the possibility that Roosevelt may carry them In no state showing a Roosevelt I lead is the possibility of a switch I CONTINUED ON PAGE EIOHT*I

HOOVER PLEADS RE-ELECTION President Speaks In Springfield, 111., Late This Afternoon Abbard President Hoover’s Train, Nov. 4 —(U.R)— President Hoover today called upon the nation, as Abraham Lincoln did during the Civil war, to support his plea for re-election. While his train still sped across the Illinois prairies, which Lincoln knew so well, Mr. Hoover made public the text of the speech he is delivering this afternoon at Springfield, where the Civil war president is buried. The president’s Springfield address dramatically compared the plight of the Union during the Civil war with the condition of the country today. He said the nation had rallied to Lincoln when the tide turned and asked the voters to rally to his support at the polls in like manner next Tuesday. He centered on a repetition of his 12-point farm relief program in the earlier portions of the address, ending up by the dramatic analogy of his problems and the nation's crisis witli the troubles ot Lincoln. lie did this Iteeause Springfield was where Lincoln made his home as a man.
