Seattle Sept. 21— Franklin D. Roosevelt came to the gateway to the Orient yesterday and was told by Democratic leaders they believ ed he would have the electoral vote of the state of Washington in his column in November Senator C. C, Dill of Washington said they were, confident of carry ing the atata for him. While tile train that had brought the candidate into Seattle Idled in the railroad yards, Mr. Roosevelt went through a day of conferences and sight-seeing that took him through a dinner with Democratic leaders and a mass meeting at the Seattle auditorium. He rode in a flower blanketed an-1 tomoblle through huge crowds that pressed Into the streets so thickly that, passage was difficult for the cars that followed. At the entrance to the Olympic hotel, the crowd thronged so densely that trouble was had in clearing a passage for him. He lunched privately before driv ing to the Children's Orthopedic hospital to speak briefly from his automobile A little later he was speeding out to Puyallup to visit the western Washington state fftir and Tacoma. Earlier in the morning during a brief stop of his train at Everett. Mr. Roosevelt had told a crowd hr was traveling, not only to campaign but also to learn more of the prDb lems of the country. "I think a person can learn more about them in this way than by sit ting In Albany or in Washington," he said. There were cheers, and a banner emblazoned, “The Associated Vet erans Welcome Mr. Roosevelt,” nodded in the drizzling rain. The rain and mist that had shrouded the high Cascades as his train sped down to Puget Sound cleared away before he reached Seattle, and there was bright sunshine on his arrival Betting Odds Now For Roosev It; Cheap Corn, Potatoes And Cotton Mill tie Election And Straw Vote Show Trend Sway From Hoover Now. Washington, Sept 21—The price of farm products may prove Presi dent Hoover's undoing. Cheap corn, cheap potatoes, cheap cotton, and even cheaper wheat have the farmers dissatisfied, and therein may lie the outcome of the November election. Betting odds, as recorded by New York brokerage houses, have shifted to the Roosevelt side. At one time, prior to the Maine election, odds on Hoover were given on an, eight to five basis. Word has reached friends of the president here that polls among Republicans in some parts of the wheat and corn belts of the west, reveal a two to one sentiment, in favor of the Demo cratic national ticket. Such devel opments apparently warrant the prophecy of Speaker Oarne" that Democratic triumph in November will be of landslide proportions In an effort to turn back, the agrarian tide that is running so strongly against him and his party, President Hoover, his supporters are convinced, will dramatize his campaign for re-election by deliv ering a speech on farm relief at West Branch, Iowa. Hoover Faces Sore Subject. His supporters are convinced that Mr. Hoover, choosing the place of his birth, among the farm folk, can make out a "perfect case" in pic turing the aid that has been given the farmer by governmental agencies, exceeding a billion dol lars, in terms of money; but they are wondering, if the effort will be of any avail, Mr. Hoover would speak in the region where grows the tallest corn, where the Repub licans should have as few worries as do the Democrats in Mississippi; but. he will find that the people. Whence he sprang, will be using corn this winter to heat the school houses, if not their own homes, j Corn will be a tall, but a sore, sub- j Ject. i Award Of$600 For Teacher In Damage Action Appeal Is Taken To Supreme Court Mis* Jolley Sued Western Uninn Over Delivery Of Telegramv About Tearhlng t'osltlnn.

The largest award given by the Jury so far this week was in the ac tion o( C; J, Yolton, of Lawndale, vs. E. E. McKinney, of Shelby. In connection with a note Yelton was given judgment of *2,038.77. The defense contention was that the claim had previously been adjusted by a settlement, and the plaintiff contended that the note was not in cluded in the previous agreement - Yelton was represented by Attorney D. Z. Newton and McKinney by At torney B. T. Palls. In the litigation of Herschel Pon der vs. B. H Elliott .mdgment of 1400 was given. This was to deter mine to whom rentals should be paid in a land bank matter. The court was today hearing a Kings Mountain case in which dam ages were sought in connection with an injury by automobile. Small Crowd Attending. The civil court session this wet* presided over by Judge Prank S. Hill, of Murphy, has been attended by less people than any court t*rm In years. This is due to the fact that farmers are all busy picking cotton and also that with no criminal cases there is not the usual interest. Another oddity about the present session is the absence of divorce suits. For several years tram four to a dozen divorces have beep on each civil court calendar. This tarns, however, only one divorce action was listed and it has been contin ued, it is understood.

Cleveland county la intereatad w the approval by the state highway commission of a road contract which will be let in October for a link on highway No. 150 from Ltn colnton to Mooresville. It now appears that this link will be built, at an early date wt the con • tract will be in the October lettings. Shelby and Cleveland county have been very much interested in the construction of this link because It affords a shorter route to Salis bury, Greensboro and points north | and to Raleigh be shorter, but i travel will be much faster because of the open country and lack of large cities. Heretofore most of the Greensboro and Raleigh travel have been through Gastonia and Charlotte where traffic is so con gested that it slows down travel. The route from Lincolnton to i Mooresville is therefore an import ant link to this section as it will be an all-weather road and shorten the distance' from Shelby to Ra leigh by thirty miles, according to ; the Lincolnton County News. In fluential men in Shelby and Lin : colnton have been quietly working to get this project, on the program.
