In brief table:

35.65 per cent OF the total. To put 1t
in brief table:
Roosevelt, 1855 Digest poiSOn1-35.s5 T.
That is. Mr.. Roosevelt's share of the
vote dropped from 502 per cent to
1885 per cent. The falling of, from
5o.2 down to 35.s5. is 14.15 per cent of
the total. But we must apply this
falling of not to the total vote. but to
Mr.. Roosevelt's share of the vote In
1882. Thus applied, we find that Mr..
Roosevelt in 1885 gets about 28 per
cent less than he got in 1882. In
other words, he will receive this year
only "a per cent Of what he got in
1882. For convenience, let us say
roughly that in Binghamton Mr.. Goose
welt this year will get only three
fourths Of the vote he got in 1882.
Now let us take the change in Bing-
hamton and apply it to upstate
New York as a whole. In doing this
we are, of course, assuming that Bing-
hamton is a fair barometer of the
whole OF upstate New York. This
assumption is borne out by previous
election results and previous Literary
Digest polls.
The total vote. in upstate New
York in 1882 was:
Roosevelt, Democrat-----------1,079.7s3 7s3
HOOVER Hepupncan--------- W
II Mr.. Roosevelt this year gets In
upstate New York only three -fourths
of the vote he got in 1882, his vote
in that territory would be only 300, 1888
BY the same inference, the Republican
vote in upstate New York this year
should be one-fourth more than in
1882. One-fourth added to the Re-
publican vote of 1882. which was
1,353,907, would be 1892, 1888.
Landon 2-to-1 Favorite.
These figures represent what the
respective votes of Messrs. Roosevelt
and Landon would be If the total vote
this year were exactly the same as in
1882 OF course, the total will not be
the same. But 1t Is valid to assume
that these figures represent the pro-
portions In which the two candidates
will divide the vote this year.

That is, accepting the Digest figures
for Binghamton as an index, Landon
should carry upstate New York this
year by more than to /.
This seems an extraordinary fore
cast. Yet it seems to be what is indi-
Gated If the recent Literary Digest poll
of Binghamton be accepted as an

1t remains to be emphasized that
these figures apply only to upstate
New York. New York City Is not
included. Presumably New York City

But no imaginable victory of Mr.
Roosevelt in New York City would be
able to overcome his loss of upstate
New York by to l.
In sum: The clear distinction is
that President Roosevelt will lose New
York State. Further, Binghainton is a
sound index that New York State will
go against Mr. Roosevelt, 1t should
also be an equally sound index of how

in the year 725 that Ola Morgan Of

Miles Morgan scarcely had his feet

he was of into the wilderness. dicker-

His son Junius, grandfather of the

ascendancy in MERCHANDISING as well

great empire of finance.
The elder Morgan was distinctly a

Universally 1t is assumed that Gov.
Lehman's change of mind was in re-

that the urging was caused by the feel

Consequently it is widely surmised that
Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. Farley and the

New York State in November.
About the probabilities in New York
State in November there is some evi-
dence in the poll which the Literary
Digest last May made of one up
State city in New York. The city was
Binghamton. Binghamton was chosen
for the test because the Digest editors
believed the population of that city to
be typical of upstate lew York as
| whole. Binghamton seemed a good
barometer.
Turn From Roosevelt.
To consider the meaning to be de-
rived from the Digest's record poll CT
Binghamton, We must start with the
actual vote cast by Binghamton in
the 1882 presidential election. In that
1882 election, Binghamton divided
almost exactly even. The figures were:

Now compare this with the Literary
Digest poll of Binghamton made in
May Of the present year. The Digest
sent secret ballots to every one Of the
registered voters in Binghamton, 27,397
of them. Returns we're received by the
Digest from 5,754 voters. That Is, of
the voters polled, about one in every
five replied and stated their choice.
This is about the percentage that
usually responds in Digest polls.
