Show LITERARY DIGEST POLL. . I An exchange says the Literary Digest is making an alleged poll of the voters of the country to indicate the choice for President. This ; poll shows Coolidge way in the lead of La Follette and Davis. The jj Attorney General of Nebraska, has investigated the operation ofjj this poll and finds it is a farce and that large quantities of these j cards, as sent out by the Literary Digest, for voting, never get be- yond the local postmasters. The postmasters instead of returning the undelivered cards to the Literary Digest, checks them himself, i in the Republican column and mails them to the Literary Digest as the expression of a voter. They are not signed, so one voter can send in 1 ,000 cards if he wishes to. As 99 per cent of the postmasters post-masters are Republican, it will be easily understood why Coolidge is getting so many votes. j |
