Roosevelt is as good as elected presi dent—by the Literary Digest poll— and has a chance to make a clean sweep of the 4* states, according to James A. Farley, chairman of the Democratic National Campaign Com mittee. in a statement released at campaign headquarters today. While the Literary Digest poll figures show President Hoover leading only seven States, Mr. Farley said that a re-check of the poll statistics by his executive staff indicates that New Jersey, Rhode Island. Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire are definitely in the Roosevelt column and that Maine and Vermont are so close that by no means can they be considered safe for the Republican ticket. I “Any sane person cannot escape the implication of such a gigantic samp ling of public opinion as is embraced in the Literary Digest straw vote.” declared Mr. Farley. “I consider this conclusive evidence as to ths desire of the people of this country for a change in the national government, and a forecast of what will be regis tered at tbe polls on November 8. “The only states missing in this poll are four Southern states: Texas, Florida, North Carolina and Virginia; four border states: Missouri, Tennes see, Oklahoma and Maryland; one Northern state: Minnesota, and one Western state: Washington.

Raleigh, Oct. 14.--The recommenda tion that the State provide free text books for all the elementary schools, just made by the State School Book Commission, is being regarded in some circles here with a certain amount of skepticism. Some frankly see in the recommendation the Influence of the textbook publishers and distributors and believe that the free textbook plan is being recommended because of the patent impossibility of in stituting such a plan at this time ra ther than the State rental plan as ad vocated by Commissioner A.

It is no secret here that the school book publishing companies, book de positors and distrnbutors are vigor ously opposed both to State rental or free textbooks, since either of these plans tends to reduce the yearly sale of new books.
