ELECTION
GURANTEED
MOSCOW, Nov. 6.—(AP)—The
Soviet government paper “Izves
tia”, had an article and headline
j today entitled “Election Roosevelt
Guaranteed.”
The article said that westerday
there were rumors that the repub
lican interest might stage a last
minute “face plot” against Gov.
Dewey’s life and charge htat it
| was instigated by the American
| communists.
The article was unsigned.
The two-column survey of the
American election asserted that
! such ag rumor was circulatin
among the foreign correspondents
in Moscow. They stated the re
publicans understand that failure
is imminent and that under this
circumstance there is no wonder
they hight resort to a big adven

the scaaring of people with com

The article went on to say that
..one one shouldn’t forget history,

insolent and crude provocations.
The beginning with faked doc

communists appeared on the eve
of the parlimentary elections in
some democratic countries to the
burning of the Reichstag in Ger
many.
Izvestian said the republica
hopes were dashed when prelimi
nary data indicated that the num
ber of voters this year were equal
to the 50,000,000 of 1940, and that
the chances of the second candi
date were melting before one’s
eyes.
The article continued the Hearst
papers ano publications of the
McCormicvk, Patterson and Gan
nett interests carried on a cam
paign for Gov. Dewey simultan

defeatist and even pro-Hitlerite
agitation.
In Washington, Mrs. Eleanor
Patterson, owner and publisher of
the Washington Times-Herald, is
termed as criticizing the Izvestia
article and described Frank Gan
net of the Ganneti publications as
“a ridiculous advert.”
It made no immediate comment
on Col. McCormick or the Hearst
papers.
The Russian paper said thalt
Gov. Dewey attempted to divide
himself from a defeatist to an
isolationist conception, and most
compromising pro-Fa^cist
