NATION TO---to win the White House but the House of Representatives. Some political forecasters believe the Presidential election may go one way and the Congressional choice another.
Elect 36 Senators
There are 36 United States senators to be elected, but it is a mathematical certainty—because of Democratic strength in Southern states—that Republicans cannot win the upper house.
The seats of all 435 members of the House were at stake this year. Maine elected her three-member delegation last September so that 432 seats are to be filled today. The representatives from Maine are all Republicans.
Thirty-five gubernatorial elections were carded, but Maine and Louisiana already have made their
choices, leaving 33 to be elected day.
The Presidential contest promises to be the closest in popular vote since 1916 when Woodrow Wilson defeated Charles Evans Hughes by a plurality of approximately 600,-000 votes. But the electoral vote could be lopsided either way despite a close popular vote.
Polls and surveys have demonstrated as nearly as they can what the big industrial states of the middle East and lake regions are a battleground where the election will be won or lost.

The final betting odds favored Mr. Roosevelt, evidently because most observers believed he could drop one or more of the big states—even New York with its 47 electoral votes—and still win with his backlog of sure solid South support. Mr. Willkie probably must take all the industrial states to win.
This agriest campaign in recent times ended shortly after midnight with Mr. Willkie's final appeal for support, broadcast from coast to coast.
President Roosevelt had just left the air. He had spoken from the quiet of his Hyde Park, N.Y., home.
From both came solemn promises to safeguard the nation's peace and pleas for national unity in a world aflame.
