U.S.A. ELECTIONS
ROOSEVELT WIN PREDICTED
MR. WALLACE’S ESTIMATE (Rec. 12.40 p.m.) WASHINGTON, November 6.
On election eve four of the five na-tion-wide polls show Roosevelt only slightly ahead of Dewey, the consensus being that the result will be extremely close'. However, the “New York Post’s” political correspondent predicts “another old-fashioned Roosevelt landslide to-morrow.” Vice-President Wallace predicts that Roosevelt will carry two-thirds 'of the States and a majority of more than 100 electoral votes., with a popu- . lar majority of more than 3,000,000 votes. Wallace further forecasts that the Democrats will control, the Senate and have a majority of at least 40 representatives. The forecast over the greater part' of the continent favours fine weather, and a large vote,' variously estimated for 40 to 50 million, is expected. The greatest interest centres on the States considered doubtful, some of which have the largest electoral votes including New York (47), Pennsylvania (35), Illinois (28), Ohio (25), New Jersey (16), Massachusetts (16), Missouri (15), Minnesota (11), Oklahoma (10). There are 531 electoral votes, therefore the winner requires 266.
