Roosevelt Leads Hoover
! In Al States In Literary
Digest's Latest Returns

election and els percent from
democratic voters of that year.
Roosevelt is indicated having q
clear majority in thirty-nine states
over all six presidential candidates
represented in the poll.
"Unless all signs fail" The Lit
erary Digest will state in its issue
Saturday, unless some unexpected
eleventh-hour condition arises to
reverse the nationwide trend dis
closed by the great monument of
freshly gathered statistics, the
complete poll will be interpreted
by many practical men and women
of all parties as a presage of a
Roosevelt victory.
If that practical judgment is
borne out by the event. the demo-
cratic victory on Election Day will
surely be a sweeping one. Let our
arithmetical readers apply the
Hoover and Roosevelt percentages
to popular vote approximating
that Of 192S-say, $4,000, 600
and they will see that the posi-
bilities disclosed by our vast
sampling operation include what is
popularity known as a landslide.
In a wild year like this, how
ever, many sagacious observers
will refuse to bank upon appear
ances, however convincing. As
for The Digest, it draws no con-
illusions from the results of its
vast distribution of twenty million
ballots. True to its historic nom
partizan policy--or 'omni-parti-
zan,' az some editor described it
in 1928-we supply our readers
with the facts to the best Of our
ability, and leave them to draw
their own conclusions.
I'VE make no claim to infalli-
bility. We cid not coin the phrase
'uncanny accuracy which has been
so freely applied to our polls. We
know only too well the limitations
of every straw vote, however enor-
nous the sample gathered, how
ever scientific the method. It
would be a miracle IL every state
of the forty eight behaved on Elec-
ton Day exactly as forecast.
Here we come to the important
problem of Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island. These two states
are in the Hoover column of the
poll. They were also in the Hoo
yer column of our 1928 poll, with
still larger republican msiorities.
but both states were carried by
Smith.
History repeats itself, and that
variation Of our 1928 poll ii likely
to happen again in 1882. We have
polled the two states in exactly
the same way that We polled them
four years ago. Il study Of the
returns, in relation 10 the official
vote Of 1928, and also to the bal
lot declarations Of how the same
voters voted in 1928, conyinees Us
that in those states our ballots
have somehow failed TO come back
in adequate quantity from large
bodies Of democratic voters.
''For these reason We consider
that Massachusetts, and Rhode Is
land may be expected 70 appear
IN the Roosevelt column on cleo
ton night.

Roosevelt leads in forty-one
states with total popular vote of
approximately 8 to 2 over Hoover
in the final returns of The Liter
airy Digest's nationwide poll
which is said to represent the
largest number of votes in any
Presidential Poll ever conducted,
according to Saturdays issue OF
the magazine.
A grand total of 3,064,4 bal
lots were returned and tabulated.
Of these, 1,715,7s9 or $500 per-
cent, are for, Roosevelt, 1,150,398,
or 1888 percent, voted for Hoo
yer and 148,079, or 4.84 percent,
registered their sentiments for
Thomas.
Hoover shows slight gain from
the 1888 percent of the total vote
which he had in the semi-final re-
turns and the 37.19 percent for
him in the quarter-final returns,
which latter tabulation was the
first to contain balloting from all
forty-eight states.
The final vote gives Hoover a
lead in the seven states of Maine,
Vermont, New Hampshire, Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island, Connec-
ticut and New Jersey.
Roosevelt leads his republican
rival in all of the other forty-one
states.
A division of the vote by an
Electoral College apportionment
would give Roosevelt 474 votes to
Hoover's 81.
The Literary Digest editorially
comedies the possibility that Roose.
welt may carry five of the states in
which Hoover leads in the final
tabulation. II is stated that in the
1928 poll Rhode Island and Mas
sachusetts were indicated as Hoo
yer states but were earned by
Smith in the election. An an
alysis of the present vote, it is
shown, reveals that ballots have
not been voted in adequate guam
tity by democratic voters in these
states.
The Literary Digest points out
also that the same situation OBJ
tains in Connecticut, New Hamp-
shire and New Jersey, where the
declared republicans voting in the
poll outnumbered the declared
democrats considerably in excess
of the actual relative party
strength in these states, and the
magazine. therefore, notes the pos
sibility that Roosevelt may carry
them.
In no state showing a Roosevelt
lead is the possibility of a switch
mentioned although Il is pointed
out that the vote in New York,
Kansas, Colorado and Delaware
are close.
The Literary Digest editorializes
that although there are many po-
liticai claims that Pennsylvania
win vote republican. no such fore
cast can be deduced from the poll
returns from the Keystone State.
The race continues very close in
Delaware. where Roosevelt has a
plurality Of l9s votes out of to
raj Of 5.20S east in the state. His
lead was ITS votes q week ago and
202 two weeks 60.
In an analysis Of how the same
voters voted In fszs" Roosevelt is
shown obtaining 3T.is percent Of
his strength from former republi-
cans and 1875 percent from dem
ocrats Of four years ago. Hoover

Describing the greatest temples Of
Egypt during the age Of Egyptian ex-
pansion from 1880 to 1890 Be, In
cluding the Temple Of Luxor and great
Temple Of Anon ut Karnak, Dean
Chase declared that these temples were
adorned with statues Of the Pharaohs
and on the walls the great deeds Of
the kings were pictured In elaborate
reliefs. Before the entrance double
rows of sphinxes lined the approach
and obelisks and masts with gay
streamers added to the effect. The
Luxor Temple was s52 feet In length
and the Temple of Anon was 1,215
feet long. much longer than any Of the
modern great churches and temples, he
said.
While the decorations of the Baby
lonian and Assyrian temples are largely
lost. Dean Chase said that the records
Of ancient writer's record their towers
as being brilliant with color, and the
lower temples were adorned with gold
and precious stones.
Open Court TO Temples.
During the great age of Egyptian ex-
pansion, the great temples had an open
court or peristyle, Dean Chase Gaid,
with interior colonnades, but open to
the sky; covered hall, or hypostyle, with
ceiling supported by many columns,
and a small sanctuary surrounded by
storerooms. ITO these parts is regu-
larly prefixed pair Of tall towers, with
the entrance between forming the

Temple. It's most striking feature was
the stage tower or zikkurat, which rose
high above the other buildings Of the

EGYPTIAN REMAINS
RATED FOREMOST
Dean Chase's Lecture First
In Series Under Auspices
OF Cathedral Women.

The remains Of ancient temples In
Egypt, uncovered by archaeological ex-
cavators. are much more impressive
than the temples In Babylonia and
Assyria, Dean George Henry Chase Of
the GRADUATE School of Arts and
Sciences and professor Of archaeology
at Harvard University. declared yester-
day In lecture on Ancient Temples
at the Mayfower Hotel. The lecture
was the flrst IN a series being held on
Friday afternoons during Lent under
auspices OF the District Of Columbia
section OF the National Women's Com
mittee for Washington Cathedral, of
which Mrs. Frank B. Noyes is chair
man.
The greater impressiveness of the
Egyptian temples is due to the fact,
Dean Chase said, that the peoples of
Mesopotamia built almost entirely In
brick. Both burnt and unburnt brick
were used, but the mass Of their build
ings was Of unbaked brick and any
neglect OF the surface covering was
fatal. Consequently, the ruins consist
Of enormous mounds and the evidence
of the spade must be supplemented by
literary accounts"
The Babylonian and Assyrian tenn
pies, however, had a most striking fea-
ture in their stage tower or zikkurat,
which rose high above the other build
ings Of the sacred enclosure, he said.
"Of these MeSopotamian towers" he
added, "the Mohammedan minaret is a
direct descendant and the bell tower of
the Christian church is analogous in
spirit, If not a direct derivatiye."
