District Commissioner in a slump
because of a slight at the hands
of that prophet, DR.. Gallup.
DR.. Gallup recently wired Com
Y,oiccionar Allen for a few kind
words on the Gallup method OF
discovering public opinion (See
later election straw vote).
Mr.. Allen had not only beat DR..
Gallup by one State-the doctor
gave three to Landon-but had
got ahead of Jim Farley's fore
cast by three weeks.
So he wired back to DR.. Gallup:
'What do you think of the Al
len method of sounding out pub
lie OpiniOn?"
DR.. Gallup hasn't answered yet.
