Compared with the last poll of
the Institute, the canvass showed
that the President had lost ground
in thirty-eight states and gained
in seven. The institute explains
that it samples political opinion
by means of ballots mailed to
names taken from voters registra-
ton and automobile license lists,
telephone books and by personal
contact with persons in the lower
economic strata. In reply, Chair
les Nicholson, director of pub
licity for the Democratic National
Committee, declares that only
10000 voters were canvassed
and any effort to predict the cleo
ton was absurd.

seems to have an undoubted edge
here. Reports are conflicting as
to the Negro vote, which is OF
some Importance in certain states,
but there are many who believe
that the Democrats will at least
share the votes of Negroes in the
doubtful states where they count.
One other factor to be considered
is the 5000, 900 young people who
cast their first votes in November.
Here again, both parties are
prompt in making claims but no
one knows how the youngsters
will vote.

Apparently, it is impossible for
anyone to make anything like an
accurate prediction because of
factors which cannot be accurate
ly appraised except through the
ballot itself. AS most readers
know, the Republican Party main
tanned its majority position in
this country for many years
through the fixed allegiance of
three groups-organized Labor,
the farm vote and the Negro vote.
In the last election it lost much
of all three groups.

When the 8:45 and 1:30 school bells sound "Weenie" marches to the head of the line and leads the boys and girls into the school build ing. There he remains until class is dismissed. The only time that he relaxes his faithful vigilance is when the fire-alarm in the nearby Brooklyn station resounds. Then he is off to pay his respects to the fire laddies.
 "Weenie" came by his liking for school, Duggan in particular. be- cause his master, Anthony Hellman, is janitor of the building. And when the little Hellman youngsters start ed to go to school at Duggan "Weenie" took to following them.
 In all the time that he has been going to school not one complaint has been lodged against the dog on the score of barking, snarling or biting. In short ''Weenie" is the model pupil of Duggan, if not the whole city.
