DIGEST ANSWERS
QUERIES VOTES
Publication, Still BaffIed,
Won't Quit Forecasts
Because of Error.
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 13.-The
Literary Digest, whose 16-year record
for accurate forecasting Of election
results, was wrecked in the Roosevelt
landslide, answers questioners Of its
straw vote methods In an article pub
lshed today with another question:
80 what?"
so we were wrong" the Digest
answers. although we did everything
we knew to assure ourselves of being
right"
As to whether it will change its
methods in future election years. the
Digest says we'll cross that bridge
when we come to it,"
Not to Quit Polls.
As an answer to the question OF
whether it will conduct another poll,
the article says:
Should the Democratic party have
Quit in 1924 when it reached q modern
low ebb - Should the Repub-
ncan party have quit in 1912 when 1t
carried only two States?"
After pointing out four previous Di-
eest polls were right" the article
disputes several familiar" explana-
tions of its error this year, and de-
clares it is still trying to find out why
1t indicated q Landon victory in the
face Of the Roosevelt landslide.
The Digest says I'VE had no stake
In the result other than the wish to
preserve our well-earned reputation
for scrupulous bookkeeping"
Contention that Digest ballots did
not reach the "so-called 'have-not'
strata" who in the 1885 election were
reported "all on one side" Is denied
In the article. It holds that the Presi-
dent received majorities from oil
strata.
Allentown, Pa, Bianketed.
"The fact remains" 1t states. "that
(besides the 'have-nots) . majority
OF farmers, doctors, grocers and can
dlestick makers also voted for the
President"
Furthermore, the article asserts that
ballots reached every registered voter
in Allentown, Pa, and other cities
every other registered voter in Scran-
ton, Pa, and every third in Chicago
and vet the results from these towns
were "as badly OF as we were on the
national total"
It expresses the belief that ma
jority of ballots went to Roosevelt
voters Of 1892, as "the 1885 mailing
list was the 1882 mailing list" but 1t
said that q ma jority OF replies came
from apparent Republicans.
But the fact is we've always got
too big q sampling of Republican vot-
ers,' it said, and yet 'fn 1882 we
overestimated the Roosevelt popular
vote by three-quarters OF ! per cent. y
Chicago Error Cited.
I'm 1928" the article continued, "in
Chicago, we underestimate the Demo-
cratic vote by q little more than S per
cent, overestimated the Republican
vote by the same margin.
we wondered then, rs we have
wondered before and have wondered
since, why we were getting better CO.
operation in what we have always re-
garded as a public service from Re-
publicans than we were getting from
Democrats. Do Republicans live nearer
mail boxes? Do Democrats generally
disapprove Of straw polls?"
The article also discounts the argu-
ment that I'VE sampled too many vot-
ers," pointing out that the Baltimore
Sunpapers poll, "a lot nearer right in
Maryland" went to many more per-
sons
