can carry which states
Of course, both party’s managers
are claiming everything in sight.
That is ordinary political tactics,
and fools nobody, not even the
politicians themselves. And, while
neither party officially concedes
that the other will carry any state
that may .be named, the wise men
whose business it is to analyze
such things and to bring the light
of long political exjierience to bear
upon the subject, are |>retty well in
agreement on certain conclusions.
How Will States Go?
1 he consensus of observers is
that New Kngland will go Kejiub-
lican, with only rme New England
state really doubtful. That is Mass
achusetts. Certainly outside of I!os-
ton and its immediate .environments
there is ground to believe that
-Massachusetts’ sentiment today is
Republican.
New York is regarded as decided
ly a doubtful state this year. It is
not difficult to find prophets to
predict that Mr. Roosevelt cannot
carry his own state. The influence
of Tammany Ifall in New York
City is exi>ected to be massed
agamst him, while upstate New
York is always overwhelmingly Re
publican.
Keen political obs.ervers das-

sw’iiii^ Nobody can ui. -
yet how the La Follette Progressive
voters of Wisconsin will swmg.
would be hard to get an experi
enced Republican political observer
to bet that his party would carry
any .'/ne of those states, at the
present stage of the campaign. Anc
Nebraska certainly must be dass^eri
as at least a fifty-fifty chance for
the Democrats.
Rejiublican hopes of carrying
Ohio and Indiana amount almost to
sublime confidence, while great con
fidence is also expressed as to
.Michigan and Illinois.
Electoral Votes
Of course, both sides will extend
themselves to the limit tfl try to
carry New York with its 46 elec
toral votes. The Democrats might
conceivably elect their ticket with
out New York, ,\s the line-up .now
stands, however, the Republicans
have got to have Nev York to win,
'I'here are ,i31 votes in the Electoral
College, Either party, to win the
election must get 266 electioral
votes.
'i'he forecasters who have come
nearest to guessing ri.ght in the
past give ^^r, Roosevelt 197 assured
electoral votes, without counting
New York. With New York, he
would have 243 and would only
have to gather up 23 more to be
reelected. Ohio alone has 26 elector
al votes. Michigan and ?\lassachu-
setts_ have 37 .between the:.a. If the

with the chances about even be
tween the two ]>arties; Virginia as
a^ doubtful state with the odds fa
voring the Democrats. They ;ire
practically unanunous in giving the
rest of the Northeast to the Re
publicans, while conceding nio'st of
the^ Solid South to the Democrats,
The one exception in the .South
IS l-'lorida, which is split open over
the issue of the Florida Canal,
xNorfh Florida will vote according
to Its historic traditiroii, but South
Morida has an enormous new i)0])u-
lation of recent immigrants from
the North, mostly Republicans.
Some expert guessers put Florida
in the fifty-fifty class.
Battle in Mid-West
1 lie rest of the old South, includ-
ing the comj)aratively new’ state of
Oklahoma, is regarded as jiractic-
ally certain to go Democratic, al
though some not very sanguine
hopes are expressed by Republicans
that they may carry Tennessee.
I he ^lountain States, ^lontana,
Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah,
New \fe.xico and Arizona, are re-
garled at this time as .being Demo
cratic. ^Colorado is regarded as
about 50-.SO. Of the three I’acific
Coast States, Oregon is the only
one which the Republicans, as of
this date, have any great hope of
carrying.
I hat leaves, as the main battle-
.ground of the cani])aign, the great
area in the drainage basin of ths'
upper Afississippi, commonly termed
the .Middle West. The real fight
will be waged in Ohio, Indiana, Illi
nois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mhi.ne-
sota, the two Dakotas, Nebraska
and Kansas. Of these, the seers of
Democratic leanings admit the
probability that
might carry Ohio, Indiana, .Michi
gan and Kansas. Republican realist

contend. j
■A, lot of water will flow under:
thi' bridge, however, between now i
and election day, November 3. In
June, 1932, Afr. Hoover had an ap
parent advantage over Afr. Roose-

have over his "Repubhcan opponent
today.
