Show S j. PHILLIPS , Special Delivery Letter Hr. Henry Wallace, Dear Hcni 2i m a press interview you said to oevrsmen, "You'll be amazed at the r final outcome of this campaign. vou iave no idea how many people are afraid to express their views these ' flays. For example I am constantly I prised by the' number of people who see me in elevators and say I they will vote for me." Well, Henry, maybe you have (he elevator vote sewed up. I do not blame yon for clutching at it, as a lot of voters ride in electors. ele-ctors. Yon are the first candidate candi-date for the presidency to appreciate ap-preciate the support of elevator passengers: The rest haven't ap- ipreciated what a lift (that's a Joke, son) elevator voters can rve a man. You have caught them napping, Henry. The elevator vote is significant, signifi-cant, local or express. There is also the escalator or moving stairway vote, Hank, which you should not overlook. A lot of your supporters are escalator types; they like to sit down while going upstairs. This is a . growing trend in America and a man who could promise escalators for all would be a shoo-in. In the meantime, Henry, check the people who are for you going up in elevators, subtract those who are for you going down and multiply by those who walk up. This will give you as good a line on the outcome as any deductions you are making now. Yours truly Elmer. |
