President Roosevelt maintains ki1
lead in the field with a popular vote

ehoices.
( On a percentage basis, the Iioosevei;
popular vote lead was ted need during
the week, 56 per cent to 53 per cent.
The state by state tabulations show
Roosevelt leading in 17 states a?:d
the Republican choices in IS. 8 state 4

Roosevelt and 5 tor the (?. O. P. '.s. In
one state (Montana), there is a ti s
vote while in one state (Georgia), th.
P' pnlai vote goes neither to Roose
velt or the Republican choices. b?;
to other Democratic choices.
The doubtful states are those whor;
the vot.j is so close or the number n;'j

Another approach for ]M>pul?r
vote comparison, to which political
leaders and observers invariably turn,
is that ot' eliminatirg the >oli?i -South
vote by conceding it to ihe Den <?craii<;
column. Tim may the comparative

Ballots for Third Party choice*
show but slight inerea.se for the week
with little indication that the average
voter is giving thought to the ]*i?sil>il

year.
Likewise have the hallo'- for I
ocratie choices,, other than Koosevek
dropped off during the Inst week, with
not enough votes for any new propos
ed candidate to warrant tabulation.
