By Guess and By Gallup

Pollster George Gallup paused in his state-by-state sampling of the Roosevelt-Dewey chances to add up his totals to date: Roosevelt, 139 electoral votes; Dewey, 138. Gallup gave the Solid South, Massachusetts, California and Washington to Roosevelt; New York, Oregon and the Midwest (Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Indiana) to Dewey.

In St. Louis, Bookmaker Jimmy Carroll--who makes his political evaluations in the older, freer way by measuring how much money people will gamble on their guesses--announced a drop in the odds against Dewey. Right after the national conventions, betting was 3-to-1 on Franklin Roosevelt. Now it is 2 1/2-to-1. Reason, according to Bookmaker Carroll: "a flood of Dewey money."
