Keeps Same Relative Lead
During Week, Refuting G.
o. P. Claims of Gain
By COLE E. MORGAN

Measuring the country as a
whole, there was no change
during the past week in the
presidential campaign align
ment. ....
This is attested by a compare
tive study of the nationwide presi-
Dental polls Of The Washington
Times and other Hearst newspa-
pers and the Literary Digest.
Returns to date in the Hearst
newspapers poll show Governor
Roosevelt has drawn 56 per cent
and President Hoover A per cent
of the postcard ballots received.
The Digest poll, as published in
this weeks issue, credits RooSe-
velt with 80 per cent and Hoover
40 per cent Of that publications
ballots.
A week ago a comparison Of the
major party votes showed exactly
the same percentages for each.
Refute G. o. p. Claims
The effect Of these stationary
percentages is to indicate that in
the fact Of the almost daily claims
Of the Republican campaign man.
agement that President Hoover is
making effective inroads into Gov
ernor RooSevelt's early-acquired
advantage, these claims are not
borne out by the flood of new
ballots pouring into the two poll
headquarters.
No State Changed
It is true that in q few States
there were shifts of l or 2 per cent
this week as compared to a week
ago, but in not single instance
in either poll did these changes
cause the shifting of State from
the Roosevelt to the Hoover col
umn or vice versa.
The fact that the Hearst news
papers poll each week has shown
lower Roosevelt percentages than
the Digest, while both show
Roosevelt with a comfortable per-
centage advantage over Hoover,
emphasizes the conservatism of
the Hearst papers poll and makes
clear that it does not overestimate
RooSeVelt'S real strength.

The harmony conference devel-

after the latter arrived in Albany
last night on his way from Boston
to Buffalo, and asked him to come

Better Get Some Sleep"
When the interview finally
broke up, Smith slapped Governor
Roosevelt on the leg, and said:
you'd better get some sleep
yourself, Frank"
Smith said he had told Gov.
ernor Roosevelt that the New
England States which he had
visited in the last few days,
were safe for the Democratic
national ticket" He added:
"There's no question about
New York State so far as 1

troll of all branches Of the Gov
ernment, Executive, Senate, and
House, and I may add for good
measure, the Supreme Court as
we'll" President Hoover said:
II invite your attention to
that statement about the Su-
preme Court. There are many
things revealed by the cam
paign of our opponents which
should give American citizens
concern about the future. One
of the graveSt is the state Of
mind revealed by my opponent
in that statement. . ......
"He implies that it is the
function of the party in power
to control the Supreme Court.
For generations Republican and
Democratic Presidents alike
have made it their most sacred
duty to respect and maintain
the independence of Americas
greatest tribunal.
APPOINTED DEMOCRAT
president Taft appointed a
Democrat as Chief Justice;
President Harding nominated q
Democratic justice; my last ap-
pOintment was a Democrat from
New York State whose appoint
ment was applauded by Repub-
licans and Democrats alike the
Nation over. All appOinteeS to
the Supreme Court have been
chosen solely on the basis Of
character and mental power.
Not since the Civil War have
the members of the court di-
vided on political lines.
"ASide from the fact that the
charge that the Supreme Court
has been controlled by any
political party is an atrOciouS
one, there is a deeper implica-
ton in that statement.
Does it disclose the Democratic
candidates conception of the
functions of the Supreme Court?
Does he expect the Supreme
Court to be SubServient to Rim
and his party? Does that state
ment express his intention by
his appointments or otherwise
to attempt to reduce that
tribunal to an instrument of
party policy and political action
for sustaining such doctrines
as he may bring with him?
VITAL TO U. S. HISTORY
"The fundamental issue in
this campaign, the decision that
will fix the national direction
for 100 years to come is
whether we shall go on in fidel-
ity to the American traditions
or whether we shall turn to in
nOvatiOns, the spirit Of which
is disclosed to us by many sin
lister revelations and veiled
promises"

Mr.. Hoover addressed, and an en-
thusiastic one.

Further attacking the Admin
