Washington, Oct. 22. — With the presidential campaign entering upon its last week, there was increasing uncertainty among Washington po litical observers as to the outcome. A month ago the preponderant belief was that the Willkie campaign was a “flop" and that Mr. Roosevelt had nothing to worry about. But as is nearly always the case, the last three weeks of October have turned out to be the crucial period. There is no question whatever that the Republican candidate has gained greatly in popular estimation and voting support since he got into his stride in his whirlwind speaking campaign. If he has demonstrated nothing else he has proved that he has tremendous physical endurance. In the memories of the oldest politi cal observers here, no presidential candidate since Williarp Jennings Bryan has covered so much ground, or spoken so often to such crowds as Mr. Willkie in the six weeks since he really got under way.

That his speeches and his person ality have had an effect upon voters is indicated not only by reports re ceived in Washington from political leaders wherever Mr. Willkie has spoken, but by the actions of the Democratic high command itself. The policy originally decided upon was for the president to take the high ground that he was not an active candidate for reelection but had put him.self at the disposal of the people of the nation, who had “drafted” him. He w’as not going"to'make any political speeches. That position had to be abandoned after reports came trickling in that the Republican candidate was really making headway in regions where votes counted. An even more significant indica tion that the Democrats are taking the Republican attack more seriously than they did in the early days of the campaign is the op>en efforts to “smear” Mr. Willkie, by public ac cusations reminiscent of the “smeart ing” campaign against Mr. Hoover in 1932. Reference has been made in these dispatches to the “whispering” cam paign against the Republican candi date, based upon the fact that his four grandparents were bom in Ger many. That was brought out into the open by the Negro division of the Democratic national committee, which issued a pamphlet denouncing Mr. Willkie as a German sympathiz er bceause of his ancestry, and also attacking Mrs. Willkie because of an alleged German strain in her pedi gree. At the same time, the Negro Dfem- ocratic group undertook in print to denounce Mr. Willkie as a Negro- hater because, it was alleged, he lived as a young man in Elwood, In diana. where his father was one of the influential citizens and so partly responsible for the exclusion of Ne groes from residence in the city.

But there has been enough .change in sentiment in pivotal states ! to make it impiossible for either side to claim, ten days before election, that the result is “in the bag.’’ No Immediate Danger The international situation, so far bs official Washington is concerned, no longer seems quite so'threatening to United, states interests. The fear that this country is somehow going to be dragged into actual war before we are* ready for it is not so pro nounced as it was in mid-summer. The men mo.st familiar with for-; eign affairs, in and out of the state j department, seem to feel that there j is no immediate danger of hostilities with Japan. The action of the gov ernment in warning Americans in Japan and China to come back home, and sending ships to bring them back i is understood to have had a decided effect upon Japanese opinion. It has served as notice that we are pre pared to fight if Japan wants to; and nobody here believes that Japan wants to fight the United States. Aft^r all, it is pointed out, nations do not go to war against tl^ir best customers unnecessarily, and the United States is Japan’s l^st custom er. The loss of the American silk market alone would mean ruin for Japan. The belief that Britain is holding her own, and that if America can continue to help with planes and other war supplies the Hitler-Musso- lini Advance can be stopped, is gain ing groimd here. Ortainly the ides that there is likely to be any actual entering his mind seeks expression. For further particulars address: Dr. L. B. Marion naturopath Clinton, 8.
