1936 TKHN TWO CENTS More Than 45,000,000 To Vote In U. By the Associated Press The hurly-burly of the 1936 campaign roared on today toward conclusion. As President Roosevelt, Gov. Alf M. Landon and hundreds of others prepared to speak their last major pieces tonight, all sides agreed that the emotions and cerebral processes stimulated by the economic and political events of the last few years and the clashing arguments of the past several LANDON, F.

months probably would lead next Tuesday to an outpouring of ballots shattering all records. Advance analysis of registration figures have indicated a possible vote of well over 45,000,000. exceeding by more than 5,000,000 the total cast in 1932. Before a Brooklyn crowd that howled with glee at his thrusts, President Roosevelt denounced the republican leadership last night, saying it is driven by "sinister forces" which have opposed social legislation for generations. He recited New Deal acts and said they had made a "better, happier America." Governor Landon, who had spoken what he termed his credo and challenged Mr, Roosevelt to tell "where you stand," before a yelling throng in the Garden Thursday night, was homeward bound today, stressing what he termed tin- New Deal's "waste and extravagance on an unparalleled scale." Tin's week produced two eleventh-hour developments being watched closely by campaign leaders.

One was a fight over the social security act. The other was the maritime strike, a walkout which brought political strategists to alert attention to determine what, if any, bearing it might have on (Continued on Page Eight Heldup In Confectionary By Two Armed Bandits Madrid In Terror After Air Bombin More Than 165 Killed, Hundreds Wound- Pair Escaped With $1221 WHEEL DROPS FLYER WRECKED ed As Fascist Planes Hurl Death On Spanish Capital NEW ATTACKS ARE FEARED From Store of Charles Walter PATRONS MENACED MADRID, Oct. 31. shriek of air raid sirens sent terrified Madrid street crowds rushing pellmell for shelter early! this afternoon as deaths from yesterday's insurgent air raid passed the 165 mark.

31 spreading maritime strike held nearly 150 vessels in coast ports today, paralyzed cargo movements at a peak season and threatened to add more than 20,000 new workers to the idle list headed by 37,000 maritime employees. Ships heading for ports from San Diego to Seattle faced tieup on arrival. Atlantic and gulf marine commerce faced a spread of the walkout to those areas. "Emergency" Steps San Francisco officials, mindful of the bloody 83-day strike in 1934, took ''emergency" steps to meet the situation, precipitated Thursday midnight by a general walkout of marine union labor. Federal officials here and in Washington strove to bring accord with no immediate indication of success, The strike had repercussions inj far-away Alaska and Hawaii.
