Light balloting due tomorrow
State polls open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
An estimated 785,000 Republicans and 410,000 Democrats will go to polling places throughout the state between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. ET tomorrow to draw sides for the crucial November elections.
Primary balloting is expected to hit a new low for a presidential year because of wartime conditions and the fact that outcome of the elections, except for a few instances, is a foregone conclusion. The estimated total vote is only about a third of registrations for the two parties.
Presidential voting
Observers were divided on whether there will be much significance in preferential voting for presidential candidates. President Roosevelt, whose name is formally on the Democratic ballot, is the only presidential candidate listed, but some quarters expected a large write-in vote to be case by Republicans.
The only statewide intraparty contest is between State Treasurer g. Harold Wagner of Wilkes-Barre, Democratic organization choice for the auditor general nomination, and John F. Breslin of Carbon County, an independent candidate.
James vs. Rhodes
There is also a crossed-line contest for nomination to the Superior Court between former Governor Arthur H. James of Plymouth and incumbent Judge Chester H. Rhodes of Stroudsburg, holders of Republican and Democratic organization support respectively, who are seeking both party nominations to the $18,000-a-year position.
Seeking nomination to a second Superior Court position, but only in respective party primaries, are Republican Judge J. Frank Graff of Kittanning and Democratic Auditor General F. Clair Ross of Butler.
Other contests
Other statewide candidates, all running unopposed with organization backing, are:
REPUBLICANS: U.S. Senator James J. Davis of Pittsburgh (for renomination), Howard W. Hughes of Washington (for the State Supreme Court), Philadelphia City Treasurer Edgar W. Baird Jr. (for State Treasurer), State Senator G. Harold Watkins of Schuylkill County (for Auditor General).
DEMOCRATS: Congressman Francis J. Myers of Philadelphia (for U.S. Senator), U.S. Circuit Court Judge Charles Alvin Jones of Pittsburgh (for State Supreme Court), and Ramsey S. Black of Harrisburg, third assistant U.S. Postmaster General (for State Treasurer).
Delegate races
Completing the list of statewide posts at stake are four positions as delegate-at-large to the GOP National Convention, each having one vote, and 12 as delegate-at-large to the Democratic nominating convention, each with a half vote, and a like number of alternates to each session. All are unopposed.
Each party will also elect 66 district delegates and alternates, and, in other regional contests, nominations will be made for 33 Congressional, 25 state senatorial and 208 State House seats, and 113 memberships each on the Republican and Democratic State Committee.

Burns cause death of former singer
New York (UP) –
Marion Harris, blues singer and stage star of the 1920s who died shortly after her badly-burned body was discovered in her hotel room last night, apparently had fallen asleep while smoking a cigarette, police said today.
Miss Harris, a petite blonde whose husk singing of popular ballads earned her the soubriquet of “the little girl with the big voice,” was found on a flaming mattress after a hotel employee detected smoke and traced it to her room.
Miss Harris, 48, was the wife of Leonard Urry, a British actor. Previously she had been married to Rush Hughes, the adopted son of author Rupert Hughes. They were divorced in 1928.
