Stevenson. Maln'Thing. How big the plurality will be is the main thing in question. Re publicans shade their estimates because of some uncertainty about how farmers may vote in view of what they did in 1948. Democrats expand their estimates because of their hope they are holding the farmers.

Gov. William S. Beardsley Is expected to win over Herschel C. Loveless In one of the rarely successful bids for a third term as governor. Numerous Republicans are luke warm, and some are nosuie to wards Beardsley.

But there has been no concerted defection from Beardsley. None of Iowa's eight present Republican congressmen is be' lieved to be- in danger. Only one of them bad primary opposition in June.

The avoraga October rainfall for the state was .01 of an inch, and only .03 foil in Des Mohcs. The weather bureau said October was the driest month ever recorded in Desj Moines history. The bureau said there are "no definite Indications for rain except the chance of some very light showers on Tuesday," mostly In eastern Iowa.

The 30-day outlook, however, calls for normal rainfall for the month of November. These were the week-end de velopments in the Increasing! critical drought situation: 1.

(Reliefer Staff Writer.) NASHUA, IA.

These days the pastor lingers a little longer after he comes down the steps of the small, prim church. He hears the muted symphony of crisp leaves fluttering against the square bell tower. He watches the crumpled sunbeams through the evergreens wreathing the church. He studies the shining words painted on a rising: "Let Me Live By the Side of the Road and Be a Friend to Man." Across the highway he sees the sign: "Pavement Ends," and, beyond, the white country road, running casually through 'the beautiful Cedar valley, Joining other roads, never really ending. For In the somber charm of Iowa's mid-autumn, the Rev.

Fred L. Hanscom is coming to the end of a rich, happy ministry of 61 years. He Is bringing it to a confl dent close in the Little Brown Church In the Vale, organized and established by work and sacrifice in early Iowa, main tained by devotion through some form of service for years, and destined to live on in the future. But as would any minister who has served the famous little Iowa church, two miles east of here, the Rev. Mr.

Hanscom, now 82, sees silhouetted In memory the thousands of brides who have come out of that church, smiling and tearful, clinging to the hand of a new husband. To the Rev. Mr. Hanscom, whose presence for 1214 years has given dignity, charm and grace to the wedding church, the ceremonies represent all over the land and to him that is good. He has officiated at nearly 10,000 weddings during his ministry at the Little Brown church.

Members of the group who are still undecided are more Democratic than Republican, and if they vote would help the Democratic candidate. Ike Leads Party. It has been widely recognized that Eisenhower's popularity is greater than that of his party. In Iowa, there are indications that GALLUP POLL. The final Gallup Poll surveying nationwide sentiment on the presidential election will appear In The Register Monday morning.

even among Eisenhower's supporters many voters consider that the Democratic party has their Interests most at heart. To probe this factor, the Iowa Poll asked the following question: "Wrtte political party the Republican or Democraticdo you think is the best party for people in your (your husband's line of work 1" Total City Town Farm Republican 88 87 86 39 Democratic 83 82 81 36 No difference 22 24 24 17 No opinion 7 7 9 8 When those who are supporting Eisenhower are put in a group by themselves, their answers to this question show why some of Eisenhower's support can be considered soft.

Also, 15 per cent of the voters supporting Eisenhower say It makes no difference or are not sure which party is best.

and Mrs. Riley Moody, with whom she lives, three miles southwest of here, said she needed no help In marking her ballot. Mrs. Moody has lived in this area since she was 14. This survey reveals two trends running in opposite directions.

In the presidential race, Eisenhower has gained Emm POUX a 1 lghtly since last survey, and the Democratic a 1- date, Adlai E. Stevenson, has lost. However, In the governorship race Beardsley has made no gain, and his Democratic opponent, Herschel S. Loveless, has gained 4 percentage points. Eisenhower's share of the actual vote probably will be less than the percentage indicated in today's survey.

The reason is that some of those interviewed who intend to vote for Eisenhower also say they the Democratic party as best for their interest. This apparent inner conflict is not found among the Stevenson supporters. If self-interest overrides personal loyalty on election day, this could cause Eisenhower's majority to go down. In past campaigns, the usual trend has been for the Republican candidates to lose some support Just prior to the election. This was the case with Eisenhower' up to mid-October.

The tabulations which follow show that during -the last week the reverse has been true. When all Iowans, non-voters as well as voters, were questioned about their preferences the following resulted: ALL IOWANS.
