a vi mp across the country and back ball it cd CA found that franklin D roose ll 11 js popularity had waned that 4 t i shift in sentiment away from Z tt te en new deal had occurred and du tat there was a general fee feeling nong iong republicans that if mr ili fco develt sevelt runs again he will bs be kwater jelea ted more easily than if the tit nominate a conserva lae AZ curiously enough the democratic ral pbs agent made the same trip at ta te fee same time and found that the elt was as popular as ever tk tat the new deal was being sup rk sorted by all except those who ila lave assailed it consistently and tat fat republicans generally were more twittering with fear that the th president would run again more at ever brer and I 1 think this puts me d ace 6 up on my distinguished con 1 I 1 encountered a top it bi isgut republican economic 4 A who was taking time of from F ids daily hymn of hate for roose velt dt to bet with his fellow econ BB IC royalists who consulted their prejudice judice Ire rather than their judg tent rent that is he is betting that if tie fee president is again a candidate 1 le will be elected again I 1 encountered many among the democrats who hoped he would ran others who hoped he would tot run either because they feard ed the third term issue or were Parti partisans of various carious candidates abut but strangely enough I 1 missed all 1 le folks my colleague on the minority 1 side found who were en bit confident of republican d success next year acar ea how it looks to lo a neutral it is conceivable of course that tant ri 1 couple of pro propagandists pagan dests flitting si keween washington and califor U a might inight hear mostly what they lint int to hear so perhaps it would it more informing to turn to it Is as cs interested source soura to ascertain 1 political sentiment it so happens flat at the new york daily news which I 1 belli believe vc has the largest ula tion of any paper in the umed states has a scout out doing ile f very thing systematically that le e were doing incidentally and dually casually until the national convention j lave ave been held and the opposing Z candidates idi dates nominated no perfectly 0 factory survey of probable glorities lori ties can be offered but the j 11 u U 0 P publicity director tells his y of the general feeling ae republicans that mr roose pl velt t note more easily could be defeated t year than a more conserva tive democrat by a happy coincidence mr pastey pasley the news political surveyor canes calces mr roosevelt as his test candidate and on that basis we can in compare what he concludes litter alter devoting more time to a state trian man we spent on our whole voyage with what my republican contemporary thinks he learned california according to the news man is 61 per cent democratic on mis basis nevada next door goes along with 55 per cent utah surpasses california with a 68 66 per cent vote for the democrat and texas goes still farther up for the forecast there is 70 per cent next in the file before me is a border state missouri which according to the itinerant news reporter is a trifle more democratic than nevada for ats its new deal percentage is 56 oklahoma promises to go along with 59 per cent he gives the democrat the edge in n ohio after polling cleveland and columbus on he other hand the news man gives the republicans a shade the best of it percentages not re corded in illinois and turns kansas and nebraska out of the democratic I 1 column doubt in the cow country my temporarily republican con mp likewise sees thi the cow and sheep country furious at roosevelt be caust ot at his utterance re argentine corned beet beef t etc ac but adt pasley says colorado ani and wyoming are both in the doubtful column I dmn the cities are for roosevelt t the h e rural sections against of course the tally is not complete but so far as his reports have lave appeared he thinks Illi illinois noli and kansas are tho the only republican bright spots I 1 do not accept these figures for other than a more or less intelligent guess guers which is my attitude on all of these straw polls that are cluttering up the journalistic columns these days but 1 submit that they are more credible than he deductions with which I 1 have compared them not having ciny anything thing on which to base an opinion as to whether the democrats will be able to draft franklin D roosevelt or who will como come out of either of the te national conventions next year as the candidates it seems to m me e that it might be the part of wisdom for us propagandists to be a little careful in venturing on the field of prophecy |
