To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: read with great interest the forecast OF
next Tuesdays election published IT your valued
paper on October 81 predicting that Seth Low would

predicting the result, was well pleased that
two such experienced observers of political contests
should agree on the candidate whose success
earnestly desire The Herald" however. seeTnS
tn me TO show an excessive moderation about fore
casting Mr. Lows probable plurality, and In this
connection I draw attention 10 what
consider an extremely significant feature OF The
HeraId's" canvass.
In the article accompanying It's forecast The
Herald' explains how it reached its conclusions
Its method consisted in sending out S0,7f0 postal
cards to voters chosen at random from the registry
lists asking them indicate how they intended TO
cas-, their ballots A little more than 1900 replies
were received And what did these replies Indicate?
Mark what The Herald" Of them;
There was SO great a dsproportion between the
number Of voters who said that they intended to
their intention of supporting Shepard that 1t was
obvious that larger proportion Of fusionlsts had
was so large that attempt was made 10 use the
h Tetrne instead. the basis Of computation was
found in the INDICATED gam of e"
vote from the vote cast for Bryan last year
That is to say those 1900 replies Indicated such
a landslide for Low that The Herald" could not
or would not believe 1t. 1t completely shook The
Heralds' faith in it's chosen method of can
yassing the voters and The Herald" after all
,s expense and trouble in sending out postal cards
in such large quantities. fell back upon an ONCE
computation based the returns of election in n
Presidential year On that basis The Herald
gives Low the small plurality OF l3. .s53 II The

suit indicated by its well advised canvass of the
voters II would, in my opinion, have predicted Mr.
