Active Campaign to Get Under Way After Registration.

‘By LOWELL B. NUSSBAUM Preparations for an intensive lastmonth campaign starting next week are being mapped at Republican County headquarters as party work-|. els near the close of their task of registering voters. Thus far, organization work has been centered on registration, but with the close of registration a week from tonight, the active cambaigning will get into high gear. Republican leaders predicted a new all-time high for registrations. County Chairman James L. Brad- | ford attributed the heavy registration to the “New Deal war scare.” “And strangely,” he said, “the war issue with which they (the New Dealers) are attempting to obscure all other issues of the campaign is reacting against them among the war mothers of| the last European struggle and the potential war mothers.” Explains ‘Absent’ Law

No one is more realistic than Mr. Willkie about the obstacles that confront him in his attempt to dislodge Frankline D. Roosevelt from the White House. He knows that he faces an uphill battle. And yet, as he begins his invasion of the industrial centers, one finds him confident that a recovery of his fortunes has set in from the low ebb of a couple of weeks ago, and with a firm belief that it is now possible ‘for him to win. The East and the industrial Midwest will find him a determined campaigner who never gives up. His renewed optimism derives partly from reports, received in the last few days from the areas he visited on his whirlwind Western tour, telling him that his speeches—of which he made 93—and his personal appearances were effective and have
