DIGEST PATS SELF
FOR GUESSING VOTE
Magazine Says 1t Was Sc Per Cent
Right in Election Poll.

By United Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The Lit
erary Digest issued statement to-
day claiming that magazine to
have been 96 per cent correct in
its presidential election poll COM
pleted two weeks in advance of
election day.
Latest figures, the Digest said,
showed that Hoover received 58.8
of the popular vote, whereas the
Digest had forecast 623 per cent.
In its electoral tabulation the
Digest made similar per cent
error by giving Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island to Hoover, whereas
they went to Smith. The magazine
explained this upset by saying a
'1ast-hour shift of sentiment took
place in these two states after
Governor Smiths visit to Boston at
the end of the campaign"
Now" the Digest statement
said, I'VE hope to be able in the
not distant future to conduct a
nationwide referendum on some
issue of national interest upon
which there has been no direct op-
portunity to vote"

DEMOCRATS IN
Grip OF GLOOM;
NO LIGHT AHEAD
Rebuilding Task Is Faced
With Disaster; Sadly
Need a Moses.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Demo-
cratic leaders frankly admitted to-
day that they approach the task
OF party rehabilitation with misgiv-
ings.
It's disastrous defeat, the break
up of the solid south, the failure to
draw many agrarians or progress
ives into camp, and Governor
Smiths position on such questions
as prohibition and the tariff are the
obstacles to work of reorganization,
in the opinion of the representative
Spokesmen from all sections.
Nor do the Democrats find much
cheer in the large popular vote
given Governor Smith. They real
ize he got votes from such diverse
groups as farmers, vets, former
progressives and liberal Republi-
cans, and they have small hope OF
holding these elements perma-
nently.
None knows where to turn for a
leader or where the broken organ
ization is to form alliances that will
strengthen it for 1882. From sew
eral sources there have been definite
proposals for the future, but none
seem to have taken hold.
One by John j. Raskob, national
chairman, contemplateS a serious
effort for the next four years to
win converts to the party's Ideals
and program.
other suggestions have come from
anti-Smith leaders, including M. ID.
Liehtfoot of Missouri and Senator
Simmons of North Carolina. But
those who remained loyal to the
party are in no mood to welcome
proposals from the men who set out
to defeat Smith.
Some leaders, including Senators
Wagner of New York and Harrison
of Mississippi, seem to favor letting
the soreness and bitter memories
soften before undertaking any
definite movement of reorganiza-
ton. Such g. period might extend
for six months or a year, at the end
Of which it is suggested a party
council be held to take stock OF the
future.
That was the plan followed by
Franklin D. Roosevelt, New York
Governor elect, following the 1874
election.
