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.

OITROIT-'I was just fortunate
enough to get an advanced look at the
new 1937 Dodge," says Eugene B.
Meek. "If everybody falls' like I did,
millions will want to change to Dodge
this year. Dodge certainly gets my
vote for giving America such a big,
economical car at such a low price."
AVALANCHE VICTIMS FOUND
Leon, Norway?Among the 25
bodjes of the victims recovered in the
Lake Leon Valley after the avalanche
and flood snuffed out seventy-four
lives, was the body of a man killed
in a similar catastrophe in 1905. The
icy waters of the lake had preserved
it sufficiently to permit identification
after thirty-one years.
INCOME INCREASES
Internal Revenue collections for the
first two months of the present fiscal
year increased $75,751,921 over the
same period of last year, although
there was a net loss of $28,185,264 in
processing taxes. Total collections for
the two months were $42,352,774.
