DIGEST’S POLL
toward revival of NRA, toward
GIV
NCES
Republican Given 370 Elec-
toral Votes, Roosevelt
161, In Final Count
By United Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 30.—The final
count in the Literary Digest’s
presidential poll of 2,376,523 per-
sons, throughout the country is:
Landon 1,293,669; Roosevelt 972,-
1897.
There were 83,610 straw votes
cast for Lemke, 11,832 for Thomas,
9485 for Browder, 3771 for Colvin,
683 for Aiken, and 586 for others.
The magazine’s final statement
did not reduce them to electoral
votes nor did it calculate the per-
centage of popular vote for each.
However, the 32 states in which
Gov. Landon led in the Digest poll
have 370 electoral votes. The 16
in which the President was ahead
have 161. For election, 266 elec-
toral votes are necessary.
The states in which the Digest
showed Mr. Roosevelt ahead were
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Geor-
gia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary-
land, Mississippi. New Mexico
North Carolina Oklahoma, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah
and Virginia. . In all other states
Gov. Landon led.
Differs From Other Polls.
In announcing its final returns,
which differ strikingly with those
of some other polls that predict
Mr. Roosevelt's re-election, the
Digest commented:
"The poll represents the most
extensive straw ballot in the field
- the most experienced in view of
its 25 years of perfecting — the
most unbiased in view of its pres-
tige—a poll that has always pre-
viously been correct."
The Digest pointed out that 1,-
978,012 ballots were cast this time
by persons who voted for Hoover
in 1032, and 1,020,010 by those who
voted for Roosevelt. Thus, 58.002
more votes in the poll came from
1932 Hoover supporters than from
1932 Roosevelt voters.

FDR IS WINNER
IN CONSENSUS
Average of Three Polls In-
dicates Clean Sweep
For New Deal
By United Press.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. - Re-
freshed and confident, President
Roosevelt takes to the road again
this afternoon to close his cam-
paign in New York State.
He will deliver a major speech
tonight from the Academy of Mu-
sic in Brooklyn. Tomorrow night
he will speak to a Democratic
rally in Madison Square Garden
and Monday night he will ring
down the curtain on 1936 Demo-
cratic oratory with a radio talk
to the nation from Hyde Park.
The President returned to Wash-
ington last night after a stren-
uous two-day swing through the
New York City area, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Delaware.
He made a half dozen speeches
in which he tore into, critics of
the Social Security Act, arraigned i
Republican leaders for “false
promises” and wound up with a
discourse on liberty and Abraham |
Lincoln.
It appeared obvious Mr. Roose- |
velt had the Du Ponts, financial |
supporters of the American Liber-
’ ty League, in mind when he se-
lected "Liberty” as his theme in
Wilmington, Del., home city of
the Du Ponts.
Mr. Roosevelt arrived in Wil-
mington 45 minutes after a tu-
multuous demonstration for him
in traditionally Republican Phila-
delphia. The President, en route
from Philadelphia to Camden, N.
J., required an hour to negotiate
what ordinarily would be a 12 or
15-minute automobile trip.

LABOR AROUSED BY GOP’S
USE OF BIG SPY RING
Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance.
ALBANY, N..Y., Oct. 30.—La-
bor unions were aroused here to-
day because the Republican Party
hired the country's largest labor
spy and strike-breaking service to
investigate suspected Democratic
election frauds.
Police have arrested four of 15
operatives quietly imported three
weeks ago by the Railway Audit
A Inspection Co. This agency was
exposed recently by the Senate
Civil Liberties Committee.
The operatives, some with long
strike-breaking records, began col-
lecting evidence for the Republi-
can Party, of alleged illegal regis-
tration by Democrats. They were
paid on a commission basis of $5
for each case they turned up, plus
$3 a day expenses.
Their affidavits were presented
in Supreme Court and the names
of registered voters were stricken
from the rolls. Then some of the
voters began to show up.
Three of the operatives were in-
dicted for perjury, accused of |
making false charges against |
qualified voters.
Charles C. Wing, county Re-
publican leader, went on the
bonds of $10,000 each for two of
them. Another underwriter on
their bond was William Hum-
phries, retired detective who is to
preside at an anti-New Deal meet- |
ing here tomorrow for his old
friend Al Smith.
The American Labor Party's
state chairman, Mrs. Elinor M.
Herrick, charged "an unholy al-
liance between the Republican
Party and the kingpin of the
strikebreakers to smash labor
both politically and economically."

a smashing attack on the Roose-

national confidence, as contrasted
to the Republican program for.

punctuated by boos when the !

His main speech today will be

he will go to Topeka for a radio
talk Monday night. He will catch

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. -Presi-
dent Roosevelt is a sure winner,
according to a majority of the
polls and straw votes now in prog-
ress.
The Crossley poll, reflecting
last-minute trends, took six doubt-
ful states and gave them to Roose-
velt. In the American Institute of
Public Opinion poll Roosevelt con-
tinues to lead by a safe edge.
Taken together, the three polls
indicate nn electoral vote of 375
for Roosevelt, 148 for Landon.
Both the American Institute and
Crossley polls „ predict an even
greater victory than this for the
President. The composite forecast
is lowered by the Digest poll,
which sticks firmly to its findings
of 32 states with 370 electoral
votes for Landon and 16 states
with 161 votes for Roosevelt.
‘All three polls give Landon
Maine, Vermont, Kansas, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, Con-
necticut, Wyoming. , Pennsylvania
“ and Iowa, with 96 electoral votes
in all.
All three polls give Roosevelt
the solid South’s 161 votes, and
that is all the Digest does give
him.
In addition two of the three
polls give Landon Rhode Island,
Delaware, New Jersey and Tlli-
nois, with 52 votes. :
Two of the Three now put the
following 18 states in the Roose-
velt column:
Montana, Oregon, Arizona, Ida-
ho. Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada,
Washington, the Dakotas, Mis-
souri, Wisconsin, California, Colo-
rado. Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio
and New York. These states have
214 votes.
West Virginia is still unclassi-
fied in two of the three polls, with
the vote evenly split. The Digest
gives West Virginia to Landon.
The six states just transferred
from the doubtful into the Roose-
velt column in the Crossley poll
are Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New
York, Minnesota and South Da- |
kota.
Although an three polls give
Pennsylvania to Landon, even
money is available for any kind of
bets. Some wagers are being made
on Roosevelt to carry Kansas.
Massachusetts and Connecticut
L are considered doubtful by some
I political writer.
