The political nerves of the nation are tightening for tomorrow's vote on who's to be who in congress and in 82 state capitals next year. Party leaders agree the Demo crats will bolster their strength in both the senate and. house, but only the count can reveal whether the present Republican majorities will be overturned.

Statements published today vivl fy anew th debate on the course of President Hoover and his ad ministration as to the tumble -of business and the rise of unemploy ment. Two Republican spokesmen called again for his vindication at the polls and a Democrat for re pudiation. Leaders of both parties remain adamant in expressing con fidence of the verdict, LAMONT RAPS DEMOCRATS Secretary Lament, at Washing- ton, brought up the 1932 presidential electlon-r-about which many conjecture have been raised during the campaigns. He asserted the Democratlo party was without a program now, would be if it organized congress and looking ahead two years would "continue 'to ob struct" tha Hoover program. Senator George of Georgia, on the other hand, said the Democrats "stand ready to go the limit" to relieve unemployment.

His statement assailed the administration's handling of that problem, as well as its farm re--v lief and tariff measures. Representative Wood, in Chica go, as chairman of the Republican congressional committee, charges Alfred E. Smith and James M. Cox with misrepresenting the admlnls tratlon's policy in connection with the Industrial' situation. They were the Democratlo presidential nom inees In -1928 and 1920.

BOOZE ISSUE) TO FORE Meanwhile, tha organized dry force last night Issued a call for support of candidates favoring national prohibition. The Anti-Saloon league headed th list of th six or ganlzatlons. The voters of Illinois and Rhode Island pass on that principle by referendum tomorrow and Massachusetts does the same on lis state enforcement act. The controversy has added to tho tremendous activity in tho oam- Rnigns. figuring also in Ohio, ew York, Pennsylvania, Montana, New Jersey, Delaware and to a lesser degree in other wide, spread sections The Eighteenth amendment re peallsts hail the election as destined to show an Increase in the congrss.

slonal strength for their cause, while advocates of the national law express assurance the new congress will be preponderantly dry as It 1 now. Another series of referenda has a bearing on amelioration of the crucial unemployment difficulty. Twenty slates have proposals for publlo work before them calling for a total expenditure of $430,000,000. The materials and construction purchases as a result of the decisions are expected to provide work for many. Despite the Influence the'vot Is certain to have on the imme diate history of the country, th totals as usual will full short of th.oae cast In presidential election years.

Take tho registration in the two most populous -states New York and Pennsylvania for tn stance, In the first, the registered number is 3,622,510, about 460, ooo "lcss thajT In Penn sylvanla registration figure Is 089,000, almost 780,000 less than two years ago. The gubernatorial campaigns in those states hav been so fraught with complexity and Intensity that national leader of both parties be lleve the outcomes of whatever turn, will have far-reaching cons quenees. STATE BATTLES WARM In New York, the Republican state platform opposes prohibition for the first time. The party nominee, Charles H. Tuttle, seeks to wrest the governorship from Franklin D.

Roosevelt. Dry Re- publicans have put up an independent candidate Admirers of Roosevelt, a proht bltion repealist as is con' stder that his re-eleetlon would make him a formidable candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination In 1932. Another re peallst governor cited as a possible Democratic nominee Is Ritchie of Maryland, seeking bis fourth con secutlve term. In Pennsylvania, th Republt can party has had little trouble overwhelming opposition heretofore. But no wit Is split on the gubernatorial candidacy of Gifford some Republican elements bolting him as he did William Howard Taft In 1912.
