Show I !!! flit Comment James 1 W. By Politics now Washington leigns supieme. It is the one overriding conversation piece. With the election only a month off, the campaign is now reaching its peak Testings have been made. Both parties think they have gauged public sentiment discovered their own strong and weak spots probed those of the opposition. As of now', the appraisals run about like thisRepublicans are in trouble Reports from around the country confirm that Democratic optig mism is not merely a technique to fire up party workers The trouble spots too much so are to explain as due to local situations. So, Republicans, from the President down, are revising stepping up the campaign Mr Eisenhower will make more appearances; Mr. Nixon will cover more territory. Speeches will attack, not just defend. What has caused the shift? - morale-buildin- wide-sprea- d Douthat Basically one fact. It is a belated recognition that COPE the political action is ready to do a subsidiary job. And at the moment, the signs bear a remarkable similarity to 1948. Polls then showed Mr Dewey lunning ahead of Mr. Tiuman in the face of reports that Republican Congressional candidates were in difficulty. The assumption was that Dewey would carry enough at least to pull through a slim majority of Republican Congressmen. The reverse happened.

So, in 1956, Mr Eisenhowqr may be in Mr. Deweys spot If Congressional reports are reasonably accurate, Democrats, running locally, may roll up a sufficient margin to put Mr. Stevenson over.

And COPE is proving the point for both parties from Texas to from Maine t o Michigan Oregon. The strategy is to pick dismarginal districts tricts where neither party has won by more than a five per cent plurality. There are 93 of these districts. Then you pick the counties and precincts where you have the heaviest registration. Then shoot for a 100 per cent vote of registered Democrats whether or not needed to carry that precinct or county. The surplus in strong Democratic areas may mean the difference when the vote is counted for the entire district. The big question in Waslung-wherhappened in Maine, the Democrats picked upton today is whether the Re- one marginal Republican dis- publicans can hope to match this whether local trict, lost another by only 29 big union drive votes Heavy Democratic pre- leaders can be aroused to the cincts in industrial communities, need for a real organized drive worked over by the union i n solid Republican area political machine, came up with whether conservative Republicans can be convinced that a close to a 100 per cent vote The Maine technique is being Democratic victory in November applied in selected districts all is more to be feared than a Reover the country.
