Special to The Chronicle.
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.

"CAPTAIN CAUTION."
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.
Likely To Be Boomerang
The judgment of most of the ex
perienced political observers in
Washington is that this sort of per
sonal attack upon a candidate for
the presidency is much more likely

paign have had on the masses of the
! voters. 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.
