and pool rooms; it has been a
scientific effort to size up a section
of votes from all classes of Ameri-
can voters so that no one could
say the Digest polled only the rich
or the Republicans or vets or drys.
Uncanny Accuracy
With uncanny accuracy the Di-
gest Poll has predicted the election
of every President since 1920. 1t
gave the first real indication of
the wet strength when Prohibition
became a national political issue.
It predicted the election Of Presi-
dent Hoover in 1928 and President
Roosevelt in 1882 and today it
points to Governor Landon as the
winner by a landslide of electoral
votes, with 80 States giving the
Republican candidate 370 electoral
votes. 1t gives President RooSe-
velt 16 States with only 161 cleo
toral votes.
The country once took the Di-
gest Poll as political gospel; but
this year arises another poll of an
other kind conducted by the Amer
lean Institute of Public Affairs,
headed by Dr. George Gallup
which started out with a strong
lead for Governor Landon and is
ending up with a landslide-for
Roosevelt.
The Gallup Poll, as it is com
monty termed, is practically the
reverse of the Digest Poll as far as
results are concerned. Whereas
the Digest gives Landon 37O elec-
toral votes, DR.. Gallup gives him
only 141. The Digest gives Roose,
Velt 161 votes but DR.. Gallup gives
him $40.
Hurja Accuracy
But that isn't all.
The Democrats themselves have
a poll taker who stays behind the
scenes and has been so successful
at predicting the vote in far and
near districts that some affect to
believe he has some way of cheat.

close to predicting votes by con-

SemifinaI Count Gives

Presidents l6l

Governor Landon will be elected
President by almost landslide of
electoral college votes and nearly
SIS per cent of the popular vote,
according to the Semifinal Lite
rary Digest poll to be published
tomorrow.
The figures: Landon 80 States
with 370 electoral votes; Roose-
welt, Is States with 161 electoral
votes. These results are figured
from a total of 2,158,739 votes
counted in the poll so far. OF
these Governor Landon gets 1892.

Lemke, the Union candidate, u.s.
119. The balance Of 22,787 votes
or slightly over / per cent.
Popular Vote 81 Per Cent
The percentages Of the popular
vote, which according to the Di-
geSt stand 54.8 for Landon and
40.7 for Roosevelt lead the Digest
to spur the campaign on with the
slogan: "Fifty-four Forty -
Fight"
The Digest poll is at this point
giving special attention to the
large cities where it is commonly
believed the President will find
greater strength than his oppo-
nent. In a special polling Of Chi
cago the Digest finds 1884 for
the President to 1928 for his
opponent and 1885 for Lemke,
which would indicate only a scant
plurality for the President.
In Philadelphia the President
has more of a lead in the Digest
polling. Out Of 56,327 ballots
Roosevelt is shown with 29,599 to
Landon's %, ,464 and Lemke'S isis.
The President has a lead in Pitts
burgh, where the Digest poll-takerS
distributed 1921 ballots and re-
ceived 1856 votes for the Presi-
dent, 7,095 for Landon and 1,240
for Lemke. In Cleveland the Presi-
dent had a 2-to-1 lead on small
poll.
New York for New Deal
New York city. where the Digest
scattered 136,158 straw ballots,
gives the President a 2-to-1 lead
with 1886 for Roosevelt, 42,O89
for Landon, 5,872 for Lemke and
1881 for all others. These ballots
carry out the politicians state
mentS that the President has great
strength in the larger cities; but
inasmuch as these figures are also
included in the Digest report on
the States in which the cities are
located, they do not point to any
change in the final result of the
Digest poll unless there is a ire
mendouS garnering of Roosevelt
votes within the next few days.

BOND RACKET
INQUIRY TO

Grand Jury Hearing
Motorists Charges
In Prince Georges

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Oct.
23.-Although it is understood no
indictments are to be returned in
the investigation of an alleged
bargain fine" and bonding racket
involving certain members of the
Prince George county police force
and several bondsmen and JUS
tees of the peace, the county
grand jury today continued to
hear charges of several affiants
who allegedly have been victim
lied in the "colluSion."
Yesterday, after brief testimony
of George E. Keneipp, attorney
for the keystone Automobile Club.
three motorists, Paul Hines, Ray
mond r. Iannucci and Rodney
Nicholson, all of Washington, were
summoned before the jury to tell
their stories.
Iannucci told the jury he had
been arrested several months ago
by two county policemen, on a
charge of driving at a speed eX-
ceeding so miles per hour on the
Baltimore Boulevard. He was
taken before a justice of the peace
in HyattSville who fixed his bond
at $1,000 in the presence of a
bondsman, he said. Unable to pay
the $50 fee asked by the bonds
man, Iannucci was forced to stay
in the HyattSville Jail until early
the next morning when his father
paid the bond fee.
Later, Iannucci said, he and his
father saw the bondsman and
were told that he would fare bet
ter if the case did not appear in
court. The bondsman told him.
he said, that if he would pay the
minimum fine of $10170, the case
would be settled. Iannucci paid
that amount and received a re-
ceipt to the effect that it was pay
ment of the fine and court costs
in the case. The receipt was
signed by the bondsman, he said.

Still Other Polls
The Archibald M. Crossley Poll.
which reports weekly the trends
for and against candidates in each
of the States, gives Governor Ian
don 258 electoral votes, just eight
votes short of a majority, but ap-
parently believes that Michigan,
with it's 10 electoral. votes will be
added to the Landon column by
the time the next count is made
within a few days.
In New York State and city a
pro-NeW Deal newspaper is taking
poll by house to house canvass
and gives Roosevelt a tremendous
lead throughout the State which is
exactly the reverse of the Digest
Poll results. In Ohio four news,
papers are taking a Statewide
poll. Three find a lead for Roose-
welt, the fourth finds a lead for
Landon.
AS if that isn't bad enough there
is one more national poll at least.
1t is called the Grass Roots" Poll
made by 5000 country newspapers.
This poll predicts the election of
Landon and Knox. A total of
1,039, ,635 ballots was received from
40 States. Landon leads in q
States, with 367 electoral votes.
Votes Far Apart
The electoral votes are far apart
in all these polls and so are the
popular votes. One poll gives Ian.

the next poll gives Roosevelt SIS
