Election Results Prove
Correctness of,Digest Poll
Ninety-fve Per cent Correct on
Both Popular and Electoral
Vote 49,

New York, Nov. 2S.-For the
second presidential election in sue
cession a Literary Digest nation
wide postcard poll has proved near
ly 100 per cent accurate, it is not
ed in the current issue of The
Digest. The 1928 forecast is
shown to be 95.6 per cent accur-
ate on the basis of the popular
vote and 95.7 per cent accurate
on the basis of the electoral vote.
In 1924, it will be remembered,
the Digest's estimate of the vote in
the electoral college was only
three votes out of the way, while
the estimate of the Coolidge pop
ular vote was only 1923 per cent
in error. ~-
This weeks Digest contains two
1928 political maps of the United
States; the one foreshadowed by
the straw vote, and the almost
Identical one determined by the
voters on election day. Attention
is called by the magazine to the
foretokening of the breakup of
the solid south and Governor
Smiths loss of his own state. The
Literary Digest says editorially:
1.-THE straw vote gave Governor
Smith majority in only four
states, Georgia, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi and South Carolina. But
Hoover's lead was so small in the
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1928-12-06

891, 679, and in 1926, total reve-
nue. was $55,649,354, of which
the state furnished $1O,08,617, or
Ii per cent.
At the same time,t Mr.. McCon-
nell's report showed, enrolment
has increased steadily, total en-
rollment in 1928 being 552,79
By far the largest share of rev.
enue is raised for graded elemen-
tary and high school districts,
amounting to Sal, 6O0,343 in 1923,
while rural schools required SILL
385, 657 for their operation. Pro-
portionately rural schools receive
more aid from the state, their aid
being 26.8 per cent of their total
revenue, while state aid is 1876
per cent of the revenue of the
grade elementary and high school
districts. .... :: !.
