Anna Roosevelt Cowles reports that public opinion in New York may be turning in President Roosevelt’s favor. A business associate of Mr. Mills in Nevada, however, believes that the Republicans will not carry that state. Cowles writes of her visit with the Reids to the Bayards’ camp. Mrs. Reid has been conducting her own “campaign,” with the force of a political boss, to encourage her black employees to educate their friends and associates to vote for Roosevelt.
