Our sister states, California, and Washington, Provide state support for their public schools to the amount of one half or more of their cost. Why not amend our state constitution so the legislature can do the same for Oregon? It will greatly relieve our local taxpayers and help our schools keep pace with the schools in those states. VOTE 314 X YES 2. The State School Support Amendment has the endorsement of the School Boards of all the cities and towns in Jackson County. It has the endorsement of the Parent Teacher Associa tions in the county. It has the endorsement of the two leading newspapers of the state and many others. Ex-Governor Sprague says edi torially in his paper, The Salem Statesman of October 17, 1944, "The amendment is time ly;, it is practical; it is just; it is necessary. The Statesman strongly urges Vote 314 X Yes." VOTE 314 X YES 3. Education is a matter of both state and local concern. It should be a matter of both state and local support. The opponents of the State Support for Public Schools Amendment have voiced objections but No Valid Arguments against it. Let us vote for some permanent state support and reduce our local taxes.

Fixed States (electoral votes in parenthesis) ' For Roosevelt Alabama (11), Arizona (4), Arkansas (9), Cali fornia (25), Florida (8), Georgia (12), Louisiana (10), Mississippi (9), Montana (4), New Mexico (4), North Carolina (14), South Caro lina (8), Tennessee (12), Texas (23), Utah (4), Virginia (11), Wash ington (8). Total 176. For Dewey Indiana (13), Iowa (10), Kansas (8), Nebraska (6), North Dakota (4), South Dakota (4), Vermont (3), Wisconsin (12). Total 60. On the basis of late October polling in pivotal states, adjust ed by estimates of the armed services vote, Roosevelt received 52 of the total major-party voters, and Dewey 48 . In spite of the Roosevelt lead In total popular vote, his plu rality In several important states is so narrow that it Is quite possible for Dewey to cap ture a majority of the electoral votes merely by minor changes, or increased Republican voting in those states. Between now and election day there should be no considerable shift of voters from one side to the other barr ing unexpected events of major importance. There could be, and very likely will be, many now Intending to vote who will de cide at the last minute not to do so and some not expecting to vote now who will change their minds and cast ballots. The result of the election- iff now largely in the actions of such persons. 2S8 Voles Needed If, for the purpose of a fore cast, the sample results are tak en as representative of Ameri can voters today, then 205 elec toral votes would be given to Roosevelt, 07 to Dewey, and 229 would be in the 51-49 tie range. It so happens that in this tie group 72 electoral votes now fall slightly on the Roosevelt side, 53 slightly on the Dewey side, and 104 are tied at 50-50. 266 are needed to win. The total vote expected Is be tween 48 and 49 million, includ ing armed services. The states in the 51-49 tie range should to tal about 28 million well over half. Out of this number it is oxpected that the way a total of not more than 150,000 voters distribute around the 50-50 line of 13 states will determine the result. If they fall for one can didate, that candidate will have a substantial electoral lead. On the 'basis of the poll sample, Dewey could win by taking Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Minne sota. The margin involved In these states may be the few thousands of votes by service men in which case the result of the election might not be known definitely for several weeks. Such extremely narrow mar gins are outside of tiie scope of sound polling, and in the realm of speculation. While the results of the sampling are presented subject to possible deviation of three points, every effort has been made toward statistical al lowance for unknown factors such as voter turnover. A special poll of voting apathy, just completed, indicates that the lntorest of Roosevelt voters in casting ballots slightly exceeds that of Dewey voters. In another test, Roosevelt s not sure" precentage was higher than Dewey's in September. By late October the Roosevelt vot ers had become more certain, each side having about 4. In stili another test, those having decided most recently appeared to be less for Dewey than those who had decided a month or two before. None of these tests may be conclusive of itself, but they point against Dewey, and Dewey needs just about all of the breaks to win. Types of Voters Knowledge of types of voters and their attitudes in a given state helps to appraise the state.' Where the farm population is high, there is a considerable fac tor in Dewey's favor. Where A. F. of L. predominates over C.I.O. he should have the better chance. Industrial . areas . and large cities are apt to favor Roosevelt, but Roosevelt appears to have lost strength there since 1940, and he could not lose very much more and- win the elec tion. In thisv election there are outstanding variations by race and religion and by country of origin. How the armed services will vote, of course, is conjecture, but civilians of' similar age are definitely tor Roosevelt, while older civilians are for Dewey. . Pivot States Certain In September 25 states were established as unlikely to shift. Since then Dewey appears to have gained in California enough to put the state in the pivotal group, but probably not enough to obtain its eelctoral votes. The Tcxans previously reporting don t know ' have had their electoral situation made clear er, while Mississippi electors are now threatening to bolt but neither state can be considered doubtful. The previously consid ered pivotal states of Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Nevada, Wyom ing, Kentucky and Rhode Is land now seem reasonably cer tain. Sound research practice does not permit poll reporting to make estimates of "photo-fin ishes. But such speculation is the privilege of any commenta tor or Individual. Based upon a study of underlying factors, the following forecasts appear to the writer to be the most reason able (electoral votes in parenthesis).
