The Literary Digest reported its
fourth tabulation last week and
showed a much stronger Roose-
welt sentiment than the Hearst
poll. New York, Kansas, Colora-
do and Ohio, states which the
Hearst papers give to Mr.. Hoover
by narrow margins, are all in the
Roosevelt column in the last Dig
est report. New England and
New Jersey are given to Hoover
by both polls. In 1928, the Lit
erary Digest's final tabulation gave
Hoover Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island by 2 to l votes, but in the
general election Govgnor Smith
carried both states. The Digest
mailing list, alleged to be taken
from telephone directories and
automobile registrations, failed
perhaps to contact the large FORE
ign born vote in these two states,
hence the serious error in the fore
cast in New England. Census fig
ures reveal that 20 per cent of
New Hampshire's population is
French-C Canadian. What part of
this group is reached with the Dig
est poll? 100000 persons of the
same race live in Massachusetts.
Was it this vote in 1928 that gave
the Bay State to Governor Smith?
Will the French, Italian and other
Latin groups in New England, all
Of whom are supposed to be wine
bibbers, support President Hoover
with the "dry" Curtis? These are
questions that only the final Of
fetal vote in New England will
reveal. The Literary Digest has
been very accurate in its presiden-
tial polls in a general way, though
in 1928, it underestimate Smiths
vote in every state in the union
and gave Hoover four states he

PoIand's Hangman
Sues For Kick

Warsaw.-Poland's official exc
cutioner, Jan Maciejewski, who re-
Gently was dismissed after he had
complained about the insdequacy
of his salary, filed suit for 100000
against the government.
Maciejewski claims that in a re-
cent hanging at Cracow, the
states attorney ordered that the
condemned man not be blindfold-
ed as is customary. The victim,
having use of his eyes, kicked the
executioner in the stomach before
the trap was sprung, causing per-
manent intestinal trouble, Macie-
jewski asserts.

FAVORS 2 CENT STAMP

Springfield, discriminating
that the scent postage rate has
caused a falling off of first cdass
mailing, Postmaster General Brown
in addressing the National Asso-
citation of Postmasters, declared
that the prime objective of the
Postofice Department should be
to go back to the 2-cent rate.
He added:
But as a condition precedent
to restoration of the 2-cent rate,
we must seek to place the service
in a position where it will be self
supporting at the 2-cent rate"

states, most of the misses were not
very large. Its best guess in 1928
was Pennsylvania, which was
