FARM VOTE LOST
All reports agree the farm vote
Is lost beyond redemption and the !
.business vote for Roosevelt was
■ damaged by the departure of
little businessman Nelscn and big t
businessman Wilson from WPB in
favor of a TVA engineer.
Earlier a considerable portion of
• the business vote, and possibly all j
the top financial vote, would have
* gone to Roosevelt, on the spending- j
recovery promise plus inter-
nationalism^
On the other hand,. New Eng- -
land Is still classed as largely
doubtful (by Republicans) al-
though Dewey has gone a long
Way toward satisfying the Will-
kie elements there. Probably
Willkie expects to come out for
Dewey Just before eleetton as
he did on the eve of the elec-
tion of 1942 in New York.
These1 development's as a whole
mby explain Mr. Roosevelt’s deci-
sion to make a labor spfeech in
Philadelphia and follow with others.
-•After all 22,304,755 votes were
east against him- four years ago
(27,243,466 for him) and all symp-
toms of sentiment suggest this op-
position has been greatly enlarged.
These 22,304,755 are nearly ai many
as elected him president in 1932
(22.821,857). His totals in '36 and ’40
ran 27,000,000.
Now many a campaign has been
won on Labor day only to be lost
two months later on Election day.
I thi^k Willkie, for Instance, was.
stronger at this stage of the race
four years ago, than when the 22,-
304,755 votes were cast for him.
■ ,1 have seen Mr. Roosevelt com-
pletely turn over a campaign situ-
ation stacked mountain-high against.
. him. He has been more clever.as a
campaigner than In any other
phase of hfs duties. Yet nothing |
which hqs developed so far in this
campaign'* yet points to that out-
come again. . - 1
i , • • •
To date, the Dewey campaign has
been by far the smarter.
Anyone who thinks thjs brief cita-
tion is- not objective reporting,
. Is merely deluding himself. There
exists fn this country a silent, strong-
opposition to Mr. Roosevelt, a re-
• sentful opposition which is not in-
dulging much in political debate,
which may'not show itself at polity
leal meetings, or in press reports.
1 think the fourth term will be
gravely In doubt until thep votes
are counted. Republicans arc sit-
ting back waiting!
