PRINCETON, n. As con-
gress comes back to Washington
amid an electric political atmos-
phere and with the third-term mys-
terry still unsettled, a nationwide
survey of rank-and-file Democrats
shows two salient facts about
Democratic party sentiment
throughout the United States:
First, despite a slight decline In
the number of Democrats who
name him for 1e40. President
Roosevelt is still by all odds the
leading popular choice of his par
tvs voters for the presidential
nomination. Nearly four Demo-
Gratis in every five with opinions
on the question t7see) say they
would like to see the coming Demo-
cratic national convention endorse
Roosevelt again.
Second. II President Roose-
welt Ia not q candidate, the
leading Democratic choice In
bushy- browed John N. Garner,
who threw his hat squarely
into the political ring n fort
night ago with the statement:
Il will accept the nomination
for president"
Since the survey was partially
begun before the Garner announce
ment, the full effect of the vice
presidents move cannot yet be de-
termined. But the survey shows
that Gamers popular standing has
increased somewhat since the pre-
vious test and that President
Roosevelt's has dropped proper

Finally the survey shows that

WASHINGToN-If you want ar

you up.
Bureau field workers recently
made a sample census in 81 cities
and involved a mythical Mr.. and
Mrs. Middleton" to express their
findings.
Mr.. and Mrs. Middleton are the
average Americans. They're right
In the middle: half of the people

half lower.
And what are they like?
Well, they have an income of
I,160 year, are parents of two
children, live in a rented house
tpay about $40 month"; and
spend all but few dollars of
their income on food, shelter and
clothing. They spend about s465
4 year on food; this will buy
an adequate diet, if they follow the
tips of the bureau of home eco
nomics-a pint of milk day
apiece. dessert once a day, and
enough meats and vegetables to
keep them healthy.
They can lay by s46 a year for
medical care, which means that If
anything really serious hits them
they can't pay for it. They spend
slightly less than dollar a week
on recreation tincluding news
papers, movies and smokes) and
about $11 a year on gifts. They
spend around $40 year on CLOTH
ing, and their sons don't get to
college unless they work their
way through or win scholarships.
The bureau points out that
