Michigan may extend poll time
Detroit, Michigan (UP) –
Governor Harry Kelly today called a special session of the State Legislature to consider extension of the Nov. 7 voting hours.
Governor Kelly said here that the Legislature has been asked to meet, in Lansing Friday to consider a bill which would permit individual cities and townships to extend the 8:00 p.m. CWT voting deadline.
Reconsideration of the question came on an appeal from the Detroit and Wayne County Election Commissions, which earlier had declared that “additional facilities” would be ample to take care of the anticipated record vote.
Guffey predicts landslide triumph
Washington (UP) –
Senator Joseph F. Guffey (D-PA) today denounced “stargazing, done with mirrors,” by which “some political prognosticators” have arrived at the conclusion that the presidential election will be close.
Mr. Guffey predicted a Roosevelt landslide of 390 electoral votes.
Asserting his confidence in betting commissioners as against “prognosticators” making “mythical decisions,” Senator Guffey declared:
The boys who are willing to put cash on the barrelhead give Roosevelt the advantage in enough states to give him 390 electoral votes.
