Farley y claimed 48 of the 48 states, explaining that only in Maine and Vermont “have the Republicans any right to feel hopeful.” Republican National Committee Chairman John D. M. Hamilton beleves Gov. Landon will cary the 14 vital states east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers and pick up a scattering of votes in the mountain states and Far West sufficient to replace him in the White House on next Jan. 20 {inauguration day. Republicans variously predict they will gain from 45 seats up in the House of - Representatives in which the Democratic party now has a majority of more than 200.

will lose 35 or more seats. In the dozen border and Northern states in which there are senatorial contests, Republicans have a chance to ‘gain here and there. But it is a mathematical impossibility for the G. O. P. to regain control of the Senate this year because so many of the seats to be filled are in sure Southern Democratic territory.

One-third of the Senate membership plus persons to fill vacancies are to be elected tomorrow.

The parade of voters which form first on the East Coast and extend finally across the nation will number from 42.000,000 to 45,000,000 in the opinion of statisticians who have examined records of extraordinary registration increases reported from all parts of the country. The vote four years ago was just short of 40,000,000. Outstanding among political isSues as this campaign closes 1s that raised by Republicans with working men and women. Republicans are charging that the New Deal social security program will impose a 1 per cent tax on the workers’ wage as of next January. Mr. Roosevelt and his aids are bitterly resentful of that phase of the Republican campaign. Last minute surveys indicate the wage-tax argument has cut into Mr. Roosevelt's strength in the smoky industrial cities of the East and Lake States. It is there that the race is closest and where it may be won or lost.

Trained political observers believe the mould of new parties has been cast in the hot campaign which will end tonight as the President and Gov. Landon turn away from microphones in Hyde Park and Topeka.

Schedule Final Vote Appeals

Townsend to Address Rally of Democrats at Bloomington.

BY TRISTRAM COFFIN Times Staff Writer ’

Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend, one-time tenant farmer and teamster, is to close his campaign ror Governor at a rally tonight in Bloomington. The Democratic nominee in a statement today said. “What happens to me personally is not of as much importanre as what happens to this great program of Hoosier re¢overy and sound government. “The issue.in Indiana is a choice between the continuation of economical, sound and constructive management of state affairs and the vague, contradictory and shifting’ promises of the political opposition which has been unable to produce an intelligent program for thé next four years.

Confident of Victory

“I am confident that the people of Indiana will vote for their best interests tomorrow and in doing so will indorse the Democratic state and national program.” Tonight, Mr. Townsend and his wife, who has accompanied him during most of the strenuous campaign, will return to their modest duplex apartment in Marion. Tomorrow Mr. and Mrs. Townsend, their oldest daughter, Miss Lucille Townsend, a country school teacher, and their son, Max Townsend, an assistant cattle buyer at the Indianapolis Stockyards, will cast their votes in Marion.

One of the main issues in the state campaign has been the gross income tax, which the Republicans promise to repeal and Mr. Townsend has pledged to modify.

Conference Is Planned

Mr. Townsend has said that if elected he will hold a conference of all representative groups. interested in modifying the law. The Democratic nominee is opposed to a sales tax or any increase in property tax rates.

The gross income tax has resulted in property tax rate reductions, Democrats claim. Next year the state is to send back $500 from gross income revenues to every teaching unit, thereby decreasing the local property tax load.

Opposed te Net Income Tax

Although the Republican platform calls for a net income tax, Raymond S. Springer, G. O. P. nominee, only mentioned it a few times at the beginning of the campaign, Democrats claim. Mr. Townsend says he believes a-net income tax is the fairest means of raising funds, but that a net income tax with a rate high enough to replace the gross income tax Would drive industries out of the s .

The unpopularity of Gov. McNutt in* some sections of the state may cost Mr. Townsend votes, because the Republicans are charging that the nominee was “hand picked” by the Governor, it is reported. The nominee has been telling his audiences: “If I am elected Governor, I'll be the Governor. I'll assume the responsibility of government.”

Party Rift May Be Costly

Springer and Watson Talks at Rushville to Close Republican Drive.

BY LEO DPAUGHERTY . Times Staff Writer Judge Raymond S. Springer was ccnfident today that Indiana voters tomorrow will elect him Governor and oust from the Statehouse what he has termed “the one-man rule of Gov. McNutt.” As the Connersville attorney expressed his confidence with the remark, “Were going to win this time,” he departed for Rushville, where this afternoon he is to speak briefly on the same platform from which former Senator James E. Watson will close the state G. O. P. campaign in his traditional manner. Judge Springer’s confidence follows a strenuous 10-week campaign in which he traveled more: than

10,000 miles and visited each of the state’s 12 congressional districts. As the gubernatorial campaign came to a close, state G. O. P. chiefs appeared worried over the outcome in only one district—Lake County. Gary and Hammond are centers of that populous industrial area. Voters there are thinking of increased mill operations and steadier employment in the packing plants and for that reason, Repubican leaders fear, they will vote to continue Federal and state Democratic Administrations. In other districts they believe there is more than an even chance for Judge Springer to whittle away the Democratic majority of 192,330 votes against him four years ago, and which was reduced in congressional races two years ago. . The G. O. P. nominee expects to poll one of his heaviest majorities in his own Tenth District, comprising nine counties in the central eastern section of the state. y Party leaders : strength to their state ticket in the Second District, including 13 counties in the north central farming section, by reason of the presence on the ticket of Charles M. Halleck, the state’s only Republican congressman, who is seeking re-election. Springer forces expect their Third District strength to be bolstered by

the labor vote in the 100 per cent organized South Bend section. It was at South Bend that the candidate made one of his strongest bids for labor’s support. He was closeted there last week with representatives of 14 unions and attacked the labor record of his opponent, M. Clifford Townsend. In the Fourth District, of which Fort Wayne is the center, the Re-

publican candidate has hopes of polling a heavy vote in that Catholic center. ; In the Fifth, the G. O. P. chiefs will be taking their chances with what has been a “silent vote.” In the Sixth, home of Noble Johnson, Republican state chiefs expect that his campaign to regain the seat in Congress lost four years ago to Mrs. Virginia Jenckes, will win votes to the candidate for Governor and state ticket.

2 KILLED AND 50 HURT HERE IN CAR WRECKS

Third Dies of Injuries He Received in Crash Last Thursday.

Two persons were killed and 50 injured in 31 week-end traffic accidents in Indianapolis and vicinity, police reported today. A third died of injuries received Thursday. Two state traffic fatalities were reported yesterday, which added to the nine state traffic deaths Saturday, brought the Indiana grand week-end total to 14 deaths. Miss Rebbie Jefferson, 30, of 1623 and Jack Miles,

Mose Garrett, 53, of 218!2 Indi-ana-av, WPA worker, died in City Hospital Saturday afternoon from injuries received when he was struck by a car on the Millersville-rd last Thursday.

Killed in Walton

Herman Julian, 16, Onward, was killed in Walton yesterday when his automobile was struck by a south-

at a grade crossing. In Evansville,

| Walter Edgar McKain,' 13, died

yesterday from injuries suffered a week ago when he was thrown from

| his bicycle under the wheels of a

passing automobile. Rainy weather and the Halloween celebration largely accounted for the number of Indianapolis - week-end accidents, most of which were minor, police said. Mathew Catson, 58, of 2830 N. New Jersey-st, found in a dazed condition at 720 N. Capitol-av yesierday afternoon, was reported in a serious condition at City Hospital today. Unable to explain the cause of his injuries, police said, he might have been the victim of a hit-and-run driver.

and Eighth, and in the Ninth they expect to poll a heavy vote, because it is the home of Ivan C. Morgais. state chairman. . Judge Springer bore the heaviest burden in campaigning for himself and the entire state ‘ticket. He traveled and spoke more than any of the other state candidates. Judge Springer’s campaign was from beginning to end an assault on the McNutt administration because, he said, Mr. Townsend is “McNutt’s hand picked candidate” and that he 1s fighting the same

forces as four years ago.

His most vigorous assault has been on the gross income tax, which he has labeled as a “sales tax” and which he has pledged himself to repeal. As a substitute, he offered “economies, end of waste and extravagance, /in the highway department particularly, and the lopping off of some of the state's 16,000 employes.”

Will American Hear Edward's Throne Speech?.

Newspapers Seem Nervous About Intentions of King.

from his throne on the dais, with members of the House of Come mons also listening. Peers in their rich robes of state, members of the commons in formal black, peeresses in their gowns and jewels, will crowd

the chamber. But most people will be looking up into the distinguished strangers’ gallery to see whether Mrs, Simpson, a veritable will o’ the wisp since her divorce, is watching the King, her friend, from a front seat. - Even if she is not there, she may see the King as he drives from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Palace, in the great gilded coach of state, drawn by eight black horses, borrowed from a brewery for the oc= casion, with postillions and outriders wearing the royal livery of gold and purple. A sovereign’s escort of the household cavalry, with glittering breast plates and tossing plumes, will precede and follow the coach. Those with a feeling for romance hoped that Mrs. Simpson was one of the guests at the King's country home at Fort Belvedere yesterday, but nobody outside knew. King Ede ward himself toured parts of the great Windsor estates. It .was & brilliantly sunny, warm day. 3 Though the newspapers continued to ignore the story, there was ame ple evidence of a nervous feeling as regards the King's intentions. For no apparent reason, the Sunday Dispatch yesterday published in. bold type the “declaration of faith™ which he is to make tomorrow bes fofe he reads his speech. It says: “I do solemnly and sincerely, in the presence of God, profess, testify and declare that I am a faithe ful Protestant and that I will, ace cording to the true intent of the ene actments which secure the Protes= tant succession to the throne of my realm, uphold and maintain the same enactments to the best of my powers according to the law.” There was a minor sensation to= day over a suggestion by the radie cally minded Bishop of Birminge ham, the Right Reverend ‘Ernest William Barnes, that a woman should be included among the glit= tering array of church dignitaries who participate in King Edward's coronation—Gen.
