They said authorities of Jackson, Mich., knew him as one of a dozen convicts who fled in 1919 after tun neling their way to freedom. “For myself I care little,” he said. “But it is tragedy for my wife. I never had told her the story. I hop ed it never would be necessary.” “I won’t let you go back,” she de clared “First of all,” Mrs. Fulger insisted, “we must write to the governor of Michigan and beg him for mercy.” Fulger related that in 1917 he was sentenced to serve ten to twenty years in prison charged with an of fense against his step-daughter he in sisted he was convicted of because of “deluded” testimony by his first wife, who he said had been sent to insane asylums twice before and once after rheir marirage.

(Central Press) CAMPAIGN BECAME TIRESOME AFFAIR Roosevelt on Defensive and Republicans Had No Speakers With Pep By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Nov. 2.—This last pre sidential campaign appears to me to have become an unusually tiresome affair of its kind, ag it has wagged along. “Thank heaven it’s nearly over," is a remark I heard again and again as the contest neared its close. It has teen a mightily important fight, but somehow it has dragged. It began with two pretty tame con ventions, for one thing. The Republicans were discouraged. Then generated a bit by enthusiasm, as their proceedings progressed, but it was more or less synthetic. The Democratic gathering’s work was cut and-dried. ORATORY Later on campaign oratory was not so good. President Roosevelt, as his party’s Continued on Page Five.) Desperate Fights Staged For Seats In Congress Halls Washington, Nov. 2.—(AP) —'Brisk fighting for the seats of Senate and House continued up to the eleventh hour with expressions of confidence coming from both sides today. Republican campaign leaders pre dicted itig gains in a Congress now heavily Democratic, while Democratic Chairman James A. Farley predicted his party would hold its present tre mendous majority in the House, and gain six to eight seats in the Senate. With 35 posts in the Senate and all the representatives’ offices being fill ed this year, all factions struggled to the bitter end. One Senator, Wallace H. White, Re publican, Maine, has already been re elected, but still to be filled are the Senate places now covered by the ex piring terms of 19 Democrats, 11 Re- o TODAYT FIVE CENTS COPY Record-Smashing Ballot of 45,000,000 Predicted Un less Threatening Weather Comes ROOSEVELT WORKS UP TO LAST HOUR Landon Also Speaks During Day and Both Prepare for Vote Tomorrow; Both Na tional Chairmen Forecast Overwhelming Victory for Parties (By The Associated Press) Across the vast expanse of America the tumult over gigan tic issues died away today as the nation’s only sovereign— the voter—prepared to wield the sceptre and decide tomor row who shall head his govern ment. From both major parties came strong expressions of confidence while all hands concentrated on one ele venth hour task. “Get out the vote,” was the injunc tion heard on all sides. The efforts of the party workers, combined with the more than usual natural interest In the issues, still indicated a record smashing vote, possibly 46,000,000 votes, despite ominous word from the weather Bureau that a cold rain or snow miight blanked much of the na tion on election day. James A. Farley, Democratic na tional chairman, declared it would be a ''sweep”, giving President Roose velt a much bigger vote than ho got in 1932, when he captured 472 of the 531 electoral votes. National Chairman John D. M. Hamilton, of the Republicans, came back with a declaration that he would predict an “absolute minimum” •of 320 electoral votes for Governor Landon, only 266 being necessary to elect. President Roosevelt permitted him self little rest today. He planned to make a tour of his own Duchess county and two other New York (Continued on Page Three.) Gov. Landon Says “NRA” To Return Topeka, Kans., Nov. 2 (AP) —Gov- ernor Alf M. Landon said today “the plain inference of President Roose velt’s Uladison Square Garden speech was that “you’re going to havo the NRA, the AAA and everything else over again." The Republican presidential nomi nee made the statement in a press conference. Reporters asked whether he though his Democratic opponent’s Saturday night address answered the questions he put to him in the same hall last Thursday. “The speech speaks for itself," Lan don replied. “It doesn’t specifically answer my questions. The plain in ference is that you’re going to have the NRA, AAA and everything else all over again.” publicans and one Farnaer-Laborite, in addition to one vacancy. For the 435 seats in the House, voters in every State except Maine, are ready to choose successors to the present body—composed of 308 Dem ocrats, 100 Republicans, seven Prog ressives and three Farmerr-Laborites. Contests high-lighted by dramatic politicial figures spot the election map with many new names seeking legis lative posts. Senator George W. Norris, advocate of Tennessee Valley development, and Republican supporter of President Roosevelt, fights as an independent for return to his Senate seat from Nebraska against two opponents. In the South a number of Demo cratic incumbents seek return to their Senate seats.
