SURVEY SHOWS ROOSEVELT FAR AHEAD OF RIVAL f Landslide Predicted, With Only Seven States Sure for Hoover. (CnntinVi'd from Page One) at New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Michigan. Indiana. Delaware, Rhode Island, and California. There is a fair prospect that Kansas and lowa may follow the low prices of commodities rather than cries of “hold to Hoover.” It is this possibility which brings some predictions that Hoover's electoral total may fall as low as 75, or 12 less than Smith got when he carried states in 1928. Forecasters Are Upset Whereas a liberal prediction boosts Hoover's possible total to 174, Democratic forecasters claim the historic Republican machine is so badly crippled it may squeak through to victory in only Vermont, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Traditional forecasting is upset by wholesale desertioas of numerous normally Republican groups from Hoover's candidacy. Millions of Negroes are reported to have shifted allegiance from the Republican to the Democratic party, and they may possess the balance of power not only in border and middle western states, but also in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, and Delaware. Voters of foreign ancestry, who usually line up with the more conr servative party, are also said to have gone over to Roosevelt, and in New England and along the Atlantic Seaboard their defection may be the determining factor for a Democratic cleanup. Prospective knifing of the Roose-velt-Garner slate by elements worshiping Smith is believed to have been minimized by the latter's reconciliation with the New York Governor. Party Lines Shattered On top of these defections, all ptflls have reflected a steady breakup of party lines, with Republicans providing Roosevelt majorities in many states canvassed by the Literary Digest and other agencies. But it is the G. O. P. hope that these deserters will find it easier to vote for a Democrat in a straw poll than behind the curtains of a voting booth. Many mavericks, they believed, really want to “come home to the Republican party” in east and west, and a literal, last minute return now is the theme of all Republican prayers. Reports from representative sections of the country which show the extent of reported Hoover gains and the possible outcome, follow: New England—Hoover’s talks not helping him in Massachusetts. If sweep as strong as indicated, Massachusetts will go to Roosevelt. Democratic vote in Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire will surprise, probably carry New Hampshire and possibly Maine. Rhode Island seems sure for Roosevelt; Connecticut close. New York for Roosevelt New York—Roosevelt and entire ticket will carry New York by pluralities exceeding 500.000. Landslide may even given Roosevelt 1,000.000. Lehman will be elected Governor, Senator Wagner reelected. Ohio—• Still looks like Democratic victory here. Governor White and Senator Bulkley, Democrats, will win. Indiana—Both parties claiming victory, but impartial* observers expect Roosevelt to win by 100,000 and Senator Watson to lag behind Hoover. Pennsylvania—Despite polls showing Roosevlt lead, state probably Republican by greatly reduced margin. Depends on how big majority Vare machine in Philadelphia gives Hoover. Large farm vote silent, unknown factor. Roosevelt has excellent chance in Pittsburgh industrial and hard coal section. Pinchot’s silence favorable to Roosevelt, Philadelphia machine past master at counting and delivering Republican vote. Missouri Is Democratic Missouri—Roosevelt by 200,000 indicated. Some abatement in anti-Hoover sentiment lately, but not enough to change situation, though his speech here tonight may bfe a factor. lowa—Smith Newark speech hurt, driving drys to Hoover. Republican machine ringing doorbells. But •class’’ loyalty among hard-hit farmers may overcome "party” loyalty. Rural tote will determine. Probably Hoover by 50.000. but scales still swing. Colorado —Believe Roosevelt will carry, but Smith speech did not help. Northwest —Alt hough great change lately in favor of Hoover, may be offset by low prices. Corn at 7 l s cents, wheat 22 to 28 for farmer. Cheaper to burn than sell. At present Minnesota. Wisconsin, Dakotas and Montana for Roosevelt. Wisconsin certain, but Hoover’s western speeches and weather on election day possible factors to be considered. Roosevelt Gets Border States Border States—Oklahoma, Kentucky, Tennessee back tp the Democratic column. Also Arizona and New Mexico. California—Roosevelt 3 to 1 betting favorite, though desperate Republicans spending large sums. Even money Roosevelt wins by 225,000. Employers’ pressure and Hoover trip here only factors for doubt. Hiram Johnson expected to swing 150,000 progressives to Roosevelt, who must overcome Hoover 1928 plurality of 548.000. Senatorial fight tojSny-turvy, with 2 to 1 odds Roosevelt sweep will elect McAdoo. Chamberlin Lauded Dfrcuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin has been drafted by the Marion county bar for a place on the Republican ticket, James W. Noel, attorney, told a Fourth ward rally at Twenty-ninth and Clifton streets Thursday night. Judge Chamberlin's re-election because of “the excellence of his judicial service and his pre-eminent qualities as a judge” was urged by Noel, who said judicial efficiency was dependent in a great degree on long (enure.

Educators Urge Income Tax; Bainbridge Colby Here Tonight; Lake Cos. Vote Scandal Bared

An appeal for citizens to vote J Tuesday for constitutional amendment No. 1, proposed to tap sources of income for governmental expense, has been sent hundreds of patrons of Indianapolis and other Marion county schools. School officials and ParentTeacher groups are supporting the amendment as a way to find, new taxes and save the schools. Voters may vote ‘ Yes” or “No” on the amendment. It gives the general assembly power to levy and collect a tax upon income, regardless of its source, at such rates and with such exemptions as may be prescribed by law. Indorsed by Leaders A statement mailed to school patrons has been indorsed by Mrs. John Askren, Marion county P. T. A. president; Fred T. Gladden, superintendent of schools; Charles Littler, Marion County Farm bureau president; Mrs. Maggie Maxwell, county board of education secretary; Fred Pierpont, Marion County Teachers’ Federation president, and Ray Addington, High School Principals Section president. “Amendment No. 1 promises to alleviate the situation by which many with large incomes practically have escaped the cost of financing local and state government,” the letter states. “This is not a partisan question and does not mean an additional tax, but a mere shifting of tax burden to those best able to bear it.” Many Evade Taxes The apppal points out that many with incomes of $25,000 to $1,000,000 and with little real or personal property, are escaping taxation. A second letter was mailed from the John Strange school, Washington township. Calling for all to vote on the amendment that will provide for taxation of those owning intangibles, the letter declares that tangible property, representing 65 per cent of the wealth in Indiana, is bearing the brunt of the tax burden. Weiss Praises Sumner Lauding work of the sheriff's office during the last two years, Jacob Weiss, Democratic candidate for state senator, urged re-election of Charles Sumner at a meeting at Howard and Shepard streets Thursday night. He pointed out the handicaps confronted by the present sheriff’s office since Jan. 1, 1932, when the county council eliminated the road patrol, taking eighteen men off the sheriff's pay roll. Difficulties in holding down vice conditions in the county since the first of the year were enumerated by the speaker. Weiss elaborated on the increased work in the sheriff's office because of present economic conditions, stating that the largest number of civil suits in the history of the county have been filed during the last year. "More than fifty real estate sales have been held monthly during the last two years, besides handling 400 executions each month,” and this is part of the work which must be done by the present sheriff’s staff. The service of summons, subpenas and other writs even has been larger this year than last. Machines to Be Used By l nited Press SOUTH BEND. Ind., Nov. 4. Settlement of a Gary balloting dispute was reached privately in federal court here, when county commissioners agreed to install voting machines in the Thirty-ninth and Forty-second precincts. The controversy arose between Republican voters and Democratic commissioners. Voters, who presented their case before Judge Thotnas Slick here, protested there was insufficient voting equipment in their precincts. Commissioners produced records of the last four years to show that present equipment was adequate if machines were installed in the two precincts. Deery Hits Fear Drive Charging that “fear” tactics are being used in local as well as national politics by Republican leaders. James E. Deery, city attorney, spoke Thursday night at Southport in behalf of the candidacy of Earl R. Cox, Democratic nominee for circuit court judge. “Cox has been practicing law in this county more than twenty-five years and the ’fear’ campaign made against him by opponents is due entirely to the fact that he is a Democrat," Derry said. “These Republicans believe in 'the divine right’ of their party to hold county judgeships.” Hit Democrats on Taxes Alleged failure of Democratic city and county officials to provide means of relief from the tax burden will be the subject of discussion at a rally tonight at 8 at Riviera Drive and Bellefontaine street. Parade to Honor Watson An old-fashioned parade, including seven bands, torches, thirty J floats and hundreds of marchers And automobiles, will precede the rally j Saturday night at Turners hall. Prospect street and Madison avenue, at which Senator James E. Watson will speak. The parade will start at 6:45 at j Shelby street and Pleasant Run j parkway and move north on Shelby ; street, Arrangements are under i direction of Carl Schwenzer, presi- I dent .of the South Side Republican Club, sponsoring the rally. Boost for Watson Pointing to his record in helping create the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Charles B. Sims, labor director of the Republican state committee, declared Senator James E. Watson had aided railroad employes. He referred to the $2,500,000 federal loan granted the New York Central railroad, which will give work to shopmen at Beech Grove. “We believe the railroad workers will show their appreciation for the services of their senator by voting for his re-election when they go to the polls Tuesday," Sims stated.

O. Hall will guard polls in Lake county during the election next Tuesday, District Attorney Oliver Loomis said here today. Loomis called attention to “flagrant violation of voting laws” in the Calumet section during other elections, as he announced the special guard. “In view of these violations, which have resulted in months of investigation by special agents and by grand juries after the election, the federal government will make a vigilant effort on Nov. 8 to see that any persons violating federal election laws is arrested promptly,” Loomis said. He added that special watch would be maintained against “floaters” who might be brought “from across the Illinois border.” Intimidation Charged Intimidation of the poor of Marion county by Democratic officials was charged Thursday night by State Senator Winfield Miller, in an address at 577 Traub avenue. “’Vote our way or starve,’ these officials say in effect.” Miller declared. -One of the most outrageous factors of this campaign is the report of attempts to exchange poor relief baskets for votes for Franklin D. Roosevelt and Paul V McNutt.” Speaks for Fair Taxes Urging support of candidates pledged to tax reduction programs, T. M. Overley, manager of the Better Business Bureau, was principal speaker at a meeting of workers for the Marion County Association for Tax Reduction Thursday night in the Washington. Overley pointed out that the annual tax bill in the United States is $14,000,000,000. and declared that the only way the sum can be reduced is to elect governmental officials favoring tax reform, regardless of party affiliations. Warns of Trickery Warning to Republican voters to guard against trickery at the polls Tuesday was issued Thursday night by Frank Cones, Republican nominee for county treasurer, in an address at a rally at Twenty-ninth and Clifton street*. No poll tax receipt is necessary and no registration is necessary to vote, Cones warned. He reminded voters, too. that the Republican lever is the second on the voting machines in Marion county.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

I Bu Times Special GARY. Ind.. Nov. 4.—Flagrant attempts to vote repeaters and float- | ers in Lake county have been discovered by Frank McHale of Logansport, heading a staff from the Democratic state committee sent here to keep Tuesday's election clean. McHale reported that in East Chicago keepers of rooming houses would not permit poll takers to obtain the names of residents. They said that they were told by the police chief that they need not give this information. It was in East Chicago that so many repeaters and floaters were voted in the 1926 election, which assured Senator James E. Watson of victory. This was repeated in the 1928 election, when Lake county sent in a heavy majority. Has Twenty-Three Deputies McHale has twenty-three ex-serv-icemen named as deputy sheriffs, and personally accompanied the poll taker on his rounds. In one rooming house, where reports of 135 residents had been made, it was found that but twenty persons resided, and similar falsifications were discovered at many other buildings. McHale then visited the police chief of East Chicago and warned him that this was a federal election andit is a penitentiary offense to interfere with the work of election officials. Chief Denies Complicity The chief denied having issued instructions to rooming house operators to keep out the poll takers. Officials recall that Omer Jackson of East Chicago is the Republican candidate for sheriff and a member of the administration which appointed the chief. Ex-servicemen and labor union men have been given instructions regarding the corrupt practices act and will be stationed in the precincts where floaters and repeaters have been voted in the past. Movers to Get Vote Residents may move from one precinct to another, within a given ward, and not lose their vote, even though the moving is done within the thirty-day period before the election. This ruling was announced today by the state election commissioners. The voter, however, must reside within the state six months, township sixty days, and ward thirtydays. Another ruling made by the board is that college students can not vote in the city where the school is located, but must return to their homes to cast their ballots. There is no absent voters’ law in Indiana. Soldiers at Ft,. Benjamin Harrison can not vote, because the fort is federal property, the board ruled. Board members are Fred C. Gause, William H. Spencer and Governor Harry G. Leslie. Charges McNutt 'Graff By Times Special FOWLER, Ind., Nov. 4,—“Paul V. McNutt, Democratic candidate for Governor, received the equivalent ot $1,273.55 in his private agreement with a tours company for selling Hoosier Legionnaires bookings for the Paris legion convention in 1927,” it was charged here Thursday night by Major Norman A. Imrie. To support his contention, Imrie produced what he said were photostatic copies of official proceedings of the American Legion conducted against McNutt behind closed doors in 1928. “McNutt, according to his own testimony and that of others, received $313.55 in cash and two S4BO tours as a result of his secret agreement,” Imrie charged. The Legion investigation acquitted the professor of anything strictly illegal, but the damning fact that emerges from the whole dubious transaction is that McNutt did use his position as commander of the Indiana legion to make money secretly for himself, money that any man with a sense of honor would have turned in to the Legion treasury,” Imrie said. Closing Rally Slated Closing rally of the Prohibition party campaign will be held tonight at 7 at the Berea Church of Christ, Marion and Oliver avenues. A parade wil precede the meeting. Talks will be made by Omer S. Whiteman, nominee for superior court, judge from the Third district, and F. W. Lough, candidate for Governor. Scoffs at Beer Return Sumner A. Clancy told a Republican meeting at 2507 English avenue Thursday night that the Democrats can not bring back beer, if elected, and they have no right to say so. A. N. Bobbitt also spoke in favor of Raymond S. Springer for Governor. G. 0. P. Schedule Republican ‘meetings in Marion county today include: At 1:30 p. m.. 1145 Madeira street; at 1:30 p. m..

Lies, New Tells Negroes Accusations that President Hoover ordered segregation of Negro Gold Star mothers on a tour of the French battlefields are “simple, unvarnished lies,” Harry S. New, former postmaster-general, declared Thursday night at a Sixth ward Negro voters’ rally. New asserted most of the United States’ progress during the last seventy years has been under Republican leadership. Green Backs Larrabee Support of Congressman William H. Larrabee. Eleventh district representative, seeking re-election, was pledged Thursday by William Green, president of American Federation of Labor. In letters to Indiana members of the organization. Green declared it to be the duty of every member to vote for Larrabee. as a “friend of labor and the people.”

ROOSEVELT AND YOUNG JOIN IN HOOVERATTACK 'Czarism’ Idea of President Is Scored by Nominee in New York Speech. (Continued from Page One) if the President is not re-elected. “I am not afraid of mobs if Mr. Hoover is re-elected, and I am not afraid of markets or business if Mr. Roosevelt is elected.” The President, Roosevelt declared, “asks a vote of confidence because he says that but for him the situation would have been worse. He asks the nation to wait and hope for some miracle of invention to make things better.” “The most extraordinary, the most amazing, and I believe the most un-American episode of this entire campaign of 1932,” Roosevelt said, “is the eleventh-hour effort of the Prseident to arrogate to himself and his handful of associates in Washington the right to claim an exclusive interpretation of and ownership in the American system of government.” Outlines Main Points “The American system is the common heritage and common possession of all Americans and neither the Republican nor Democratic party has a patent on it,” said the Governor. Regarding the tariff, Roosevelt said: “The interpretation you and I give to the American system of government does not mean the combination of foreign and domestic gambling that the Republican party has sponsored. “It does not mean inviting on one hand the trade of other countries and on the other declaring an economic war against them. “You do not spell out America by combining the economics of John Law and his Mississippi bubble with those of Mr. Grundy and his campaign contributors.” The Governor outlined the main points of his principal speeches of the campaign as they referred to rehabilitation of the railroads, the “restoration of agriculture," the conduct of utilities, relief of unemployment and the national budget. Analyzes Foreign Trade Young devoted the fnajor effort of his speech to an analysis of the foreign situation, the tariff, and some references to what he also termed the “campaign of fear.” “In one respect,” he said, “this campaign has exhibited both modesty and generosity. Things said in J 928 go modestly unrepeated by their authors now. Only their opponents are generous in quotation. “Claiming no immunity for myself, I said one thing in 1928 which I wish to repeat now. It was on the relationship of our political parties to international affairs. I quote in part a statement made by me urging the election of Governor Smith: “Our position in the world will be aided by the selection of a liberal party now. Since the war international progress has been made largely by the liberal parties. Courage of unselfish action rather than the fear of selfish interests is natural to a liberal party. “That Was Prophesy” “So in international relations I am not concerned with what Mr. Hoover knows about them, or what Governor Smith does not know. I am only interested in what one or the other can do, and I am confident he can do most who has the most generous and whole-hearted liberal support.”' “That expressed my opinion then. If you will substitute the name of Governor Roosevelt for Governor Smith in that statement, it expresses my opinion now. That was prophecy in 1928. In 1932 it stands for prophecy fulfilled.” Young declared the country’s present course was “aimless.” My complain,” he said, “is that we chose neither course, but drifted aimlessly, with the consequences that always come to opportunist action unanchored to principle. “We permitted our farmers to expand their production. We facilitated, if not encouraged, their going into debt, all on the theory that the world’s markets would take care of their surplus output. “We carried on our factories and our business on the theory that there would be a prosperous world to buy. Need a Liberal Party “We permitted our people to lend money abroad in huge sums for reconstruction and repair after the ravages of a great war, on the assumption that the world would be enabled to pay. “But having done all of that, we then turned around and adopted a program of creating unnecessary barriers in the great highways of j trade. We become peevish because j retaliatory action is taxen by others. I “We wake up to find the whole world building competitive trade barriers, just as we found it a few years ago building competitive armaments. “We shall have to reduce trade barriers to preserve the world’s sanity. Trade barriers lire more destructive than armaments and more threatening to the peace of the world. It is time for us to call a halt, and only a liberal party can do it.”

By l nited Press DOUGLAS. Neb.. Nov. 4. The local railroad ticket agent, a Republican. and the local banker, a Democrat, have made this election bet: If Roosevelt is elected, the ticket agent will be the target for two dozen doubtful eggs, to be thrown by the banker. If Hoover Is elected, the banker will be on the receiving end.
