Ballot.ng in the Nationwid ?
straw Poll conducted by tn s.
newspaper in conjunction with
1000 others the country over has
date far exceeded the expecta-
tions of the Autocaster News Se"-
vice, through which Nationw d.
organization this poll is being
taken. There have been well over
a million votes cast to date. 2
Still moth ing decisive can be
ascertained from this straw vote
as yet. Hoover, true, is consistent
ly in the lead, but his lead is
quite slight. He has 559,8O6 votes
compared to Smiths 499,122 vo-
tes. In actual numbers the differ
ence between these two figures
seems quite large, but on per-
centage basis the difference is
small.
The general tendency of the
vote seems to be a tendency to
even up". Smith constantly ap-
reaches Hoover's figure, then
falls back again. The same is true
Of the Straw Vote taken oy the
Hearst newspapers, where Hoover
has, according to very recent fl
cures, 257,873 votes to 238,630I
for Smith. Hoover has been in
the lead in this Hearst poll, but
his lead has been for the most
part lead Of perhaps 10000 vo-
tes.
The fascinating fact about all
Nogales international., 1928-09-21

win finally was generally way up
ahead in the Straw Votes. In the
Coolidge-Davis campaign, the
Hearst Nationwide Poll at just a.
bout this stage of the game re-
ported about twice as many votes
for Coolidge as for Dav.s, for ex-
ample.
Big buiness men, hea Is of gi-
gantic corporations are coming
right out in the open and telling
who they are going to vote for.
Many Of these, too, show a, COM
plete reve. al of their usual poll
tical sympathies, Business men are
supporting bath parties and TAX
ing active parts in the campaign.
Never has the situation been
quite as strange. That is why
political d scussion prophecy and
interest is as prevalent now, in
September, as though Election
Day were only ten or twelve days
ahead,
The situation being what it is,
this Nationwide Straw Poll Is OF
the utmost Importance. In mirrors
the opinion of that great mass Of
Americans who live in the rural
district. It is impartial, The votes

Gated by the New York State Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor, and

WHEREAS, Governor Smiths
record as a public official offers
ample proof that his declarations

he does not keep, and
WHEREAS, the Republican
candidate for President, Mr.. Ho-
over, having no record as a legi-
slator, nor as an elective public

judged by the position which he
assumed in his acceptance speech,
in which speech Mr.. Hoover III

friendliness to working people,
lodged and evaded taking pos
tive posit on on specific demands
Of Labor such as the demand that

WHEREAS, in his acceptance
speech, Mr.. Hoover placed his
stamp of approval in no uncer-

FIGHT FOR TRAINS
Seek to Enioin MOnon From
Stopping Service.

Request was made to Attorney
General Arthur L. GilIom by the
public service commission today to
suggest legal steps whereby the
Monon railroad may be restrained
from removing trains No. 9 and II
from its route between Michigan
City and Lafayette Friday.
Action was taken following re-
fusal of E. P. Vernia, vice presi-
dent of the road to concede to the
commissions request for delay until
a conference be held between the
commission, railroad representatives
and business men of Westville, near
Michigan City.
The business men Tuesday asked
the commission to restrain the Mo-
non from removing the trains, which
would leave Westville without mail
or passenger service.
The train change first was made
upon petition of. the railroad, and
as no remonstranceS were made, an
order to this effect had been ex-
ecuted.
