Guffey ‘gives’ state to Roosevelt again

Washington (UP) –
Senator Joseph F. Guffey (D-PA) predicted today that President Roosevelt would carry Pennsylvania in the November election by a larger vote than he polled in 1940, when his margin was more than 280,000.

Mr. Guffey also forecast that his “isolationist colleague,” Senator James J. Davis (R-PA), would be defeated and that a “New Dealer,” Francis J. Myer of Philadelphia, would be elected.
