STATE SCHOOL SUPPORT
SCHOOL AMENDMENT
VOTE 314 X YE8
1. 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.

These figures include estimates for the armed services.
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).
