ROOSEVELT IS
STUl LEADING
(Continued from Pag One)
have recently pointed out that in
dications for a tight and close
presidential race next year were
already being manifest . . . and
that the battle ground would most
likely be in key eastern and mid
western states.
The returns in this nation-wide
poll, which is, being conducted by
this and some 2,000 other news
papers, bear out those predictions,
even at this early stage of the bal
loting. By eliminating the total "solid
south" votes for all choices, the
closeness of the race may be judg
ed. The "solid south" states are:
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Geor
gia, Louisiana, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas
and Virginia.
The total votes for the respec
tive choices in those 10 states and
from which returns have been re
ceived, are as follows: Roosevelt,
17,962; Other Democratic choices,
2,817; All Republican choices, 7,532
... By deducting the above totals
from the total votes cast in 38
states, these results in the other
28 v states are shown: Roosevelt,
24,217; Other Democratic choices,
2,694; All Republican choices, 27,
568. Conceding that the "Other Demo
cratic Choices" votes would go to
Roosevelt in official balloting, we
get these figure's for the 28 states
outside the solid south:
Roosevelt 26,911
Republican Choices 27,568
In popular vote percentages for
the entire 38 states, to date, as
strictly between Roosevelt and Re
publican choices, they stand:
Roosevelt 56 x
Republican Choices ... 43 x
Roosevelt shows a gain of 1:81
over one week ago, when on 36,477
ballots he had 54 to Republican
Choices' 45.
The state by state tabulation of
the national vote and the break
down of the first, second and
third choice vote for the respective
favorites, furnish some interesting
figures for the voters' perusal.
They are printed herewith.
