STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington. March 31.- The result of the Central Press Association s country-wide nominee straw vote, through client newspapers, gives rise to various interesting reflections. The score shows, as might have been expected, a larger numbers of ballots cast for President Hoover than for any single Democratic can didate. since the Californian, for prac tical purposes, is alone in the Repub lican field, while the major Jeffer sonian contenders number, as I reckon them, an even half dozen. The total of 327.129 for Governor Roosevelt (163,921 » and A1 Smith (163,208) combined, against Mr. Hoov er's 181.432, is sufficient suggestive of what may be looked for next No vember. if conditions continue as at present and if the Democrats vote* unitedly. As a matter of strong probability, Smith’s vote (a surprisingly large one in comparison with Roosevelt's) should be deliverable in great part; to the happy warrior’s rival.
