> Credited with being the largest single contributor to the Associated Willkie Clubs was blonde & buxom Betty Winsor, wife of Philadelphia Socialite Curtin Winsor, ex-wife of Elliott ("I Want To Be a Captain") Roosevelt. Said Mrs. Winsor: "I am still devoted to Mrs. Roosevelt."
> Jewish voters had the deepest misgivings, the greatest anxieties as to what the outcome of the election might mean to them. Of 200 prominent Jewish leaders polled by the Republican National Committee by week's end, four had replied that they would vote for Roosevelt; 60 said they would vote for Willkie, 40 said that they would too, but did not want to proclaim it from the housetops. Among the 60: Benjamin Buttenwieser, member of Kuhn, Loeb; Lessing J. Rosenwald, former chairman of the board, Sears, Roebuck & Co.; Roger W. Straus, co-chairman of the National Conference of Jews and Christians.
> Most observers expected the State-by-State Republican vote to be larger than it has been since 1928, although few expected the solid South to crack. Last week Southern-born George A. Sloan, former president of the Cotton-Textile Institute, wrote a letter to Southern editors and friends: "Let your inner conviction on the third term speak and vote for Wendell L. Willkie in the restoration of national unity and spirit."
