From ‘Sit-Fires’ to Spitfires Registered In Sherman County For Wfllkie ' ♦ i r r More Voters t ' Return From Midwest Reasonably Large Vote Finds Governor Certain ot Expected Next Tuesday Victory in Central States Despite Rainy Weather —By A. L. Mndback , Governor Charles A. Sprague, who recently completed a two week stump tour through the midwest in behalf o f Wendell Willkie and Charles L. McNary, believes the republican ticket has that area “in the bag.” , j_____ __ He made the trip with his son Wallace, visiting 14 states travel- l ng by train, auto, bus, and air plane. in eight of the states he made speeches before clubs, poli tical groups and at impromptu gatherings, and over the radio, once on a state-wide hookup in Okla homa. “In the midwest Willkie pros pects are certainly excellent In the north central mid-west it is almost a certainty that the republi cans will prevail, with good pros pects of carrying Missouri and Ok lahoma as well,” Sprague said. “In «11 those states,” he continu ed, “there is a marked defection among the democrats swing away tTom Mr. Roosevelt on the third “I found Charley Mac (Oreogn’s Sen. Charles L McNary) in high favor all through the agricultural aiea. The farmers have watched his career and his politics for a good many years and they like the way he does things. “Political leaders in moat of the states I visited believe the repub lican campaign they have been conducting will bear fruit. They have been in politics a long time, end thev certainly wouldn’t be feeling themselves.” It wax the first stump tour of its kind the governor had ever taken, he having been a political amateur until he was rocketed into the governor’s chair in 1938 on an im mense boom. The frequent talk ing he did on the trip left his voice obviously tired but he said “It was a strenuous campaign but I enjoy- ed it.
