JOHN HILL PAYLOR, Attorney. ? LOOKING AT WASHINGTON. (Continued :faM?-9ag?-?ne) issue, by which we mean, the factor that moat influences the voters be cause very often the candidates do not know the answer themselves. We face an unusual situation in the i business world, where conditions are greatly improved, with something like an approach to real prosperity, spotted as our recovery is at this stage, but with business generally proclaimed in enmity against the ad ministration. Of course, this is de nied in some quarters, but, in the higher circles of business and finance there can be little doubt of the oppo sition to the President and, conse quent support of Governor Landon. How many voters will this affect? The answer is not on any blackboard and the situation can only be set down as one of the factors to be consid ered. 1 Offsetting the attitude of business there is great enthusiasm for the President in Labor circles, with gen eral belief that he will get from 80 .0 90 per cent of the vote of organ ized labor. , This, it is admitted, he did not have four years ago. Will It offset his losses among the so-called upper crust or cancel the defections of business leaders? Will unorganiz ed labor follow the lead of the union ized workers or will they give a more willing ear to the blandishments of employers ? There is talk to be found on both sideB of this question but, in general, the President stands high with working people and seems rea sonably certain to have an edge among this group. Where the farmer will throw his weight is a question on which there is agreement in only one respect, that both sides claim his fealty and admit that if either gets his general support the election is in the bag. Undoubt edly, the big problem at the begin ning of Gov. Landon's campaign was to cut into the popularity of the Pres ident with the farmers. Agriculture has been improved a great deal in the past three years, regardless of what you may read?and the farmers "had been greatly impressed. Have they been turned toward the Republican nominee, in the vital western areas, by the campaign of Governor Landon and his discussion of farm politics? If you know the answer to this ques tion you can get your price from either side. Again, we come to a factor, new in the present campaign, the men and Women who have been assisted by the activity of the government under the general head of relief. Many of them, in the past, hjive been life-long Re publicans. Have they swept from their moorings? Has the use of gov ernment money created a new sup port for the party in power, a source of strength that depends upon larg esses from the public treasury and a block of voters to be fought for in future elections and won by the most liberal promises ? If this has not come about, will these men and wo men, or an appreciable majority of them, vote for President Roosevelt | through a sense of gratitude for what has been done for them ? It is upon I the answer to this question that mil lions of votes depend. There are, of course, other issues. These include the Red charge of the Hearst newspapers, the attacks of Father Coughlin, the allegation of waste and extravagance, the balanced budget debate, the reciprocal trade treaties, the process of constitutional government, the centralization of au thority, the rights of the States, the social security legislation, the expend iture of huge sums for armament, the broad question of war and peace, the international situation, the allegations of corruption and a number of other matters. Each of them could be dis cussed at length, but space forbids. They will affect votes, it is true, but how many is the question that awafts answer. Two weeks ago, in this column, the writer gave a preliminary survey of the election results, as indicated by the various polls being conducted. There has been little change in the general situation then recorded. The battle is still going on and the out come is not certain. However, there is just a hint that the tide of war fare is beginning to move and it may be thfct, in another-two weeks, the polls will indicate more definite re sults. We are keeping up with the forecasters and you can look for their arrows in this column two weeks later. They will not point in the same di rection and there will be many con flicting values but, if possible, we will attempt to call the turn of the bal lots next week. RELIEF MONEY PAID BACK Goshen, N. Y.?The Welfare Bureau here has received $281 from two fam ilies who were on the relief rolls last year. They made money raising onions this year and sent checks to repay every cent they had received. COURTESY PAYS Lexington, Va.?The politeness of an unknown student to an unknown visitor to the campus of Washington and Lee University was given as the decisive factor which led Robert T. Doremus to bequeath the residue of his estate, after the death of his wife, to that institution; Mrs.- Doremus died on September 20th. The estate wiU amount to approximately $1,500, 000 it is said. *^* iU* %y * y ~?, ^ * j**Lj .il Li. ? -? ? ., | SEES NEW CAR j 1 ? .
