have the money. Indeed, for a third
term campaign, it is difficult to see
where the Democrats could get enough
money to fight for this vote. 1t is
true there are within the New Deal a
number of Fat Cats who have had Ad-
ministration favors and will "come
through again, but there are not
enough to match the sort of money the
Republicans could collect with the
third term an issue.
1t is true, too, that the Administra-
ton has been pouring out Federal
funds for relief, farm aid and public
works, but those funds cannot be used
in the precincts on election day. And
that is the money that counts. Nor
would Mr.. Roosevelt, as a candidate,
again get 100000 from Mr.. John L.
Lewis CLIO, because Mr.. Lewis be-
lieves that if he runs again he will
be "ignominiously defeated" and
should be. Coupling these things with
other considerations, including the
Hatch Act, apprehensive Democratic
Senators are more inclined than they
were to think that, perhaps, Mr.. Far
ley, known to disbelieve utterly in
third term, knows what he is doing
and is not quite the subservient poll

nalists have been trying to make him

Deductions From A Poll

The nervous Democrats in the Sen
ate who one week feel sure that Mr.
Roosevelt is hell-bent after a third
nomination, and sure to get it, and
the next that he is not going to run
at all, have had their spines consider
ably stiffened by the most recent Gal
lup poll on the subject.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1940-03-07

But, assert the practical analysts of
the Gallup percentages, while 4,000,-
600 is the apparent adverse majority,
actually the majority would be great
er. For this assertion they present
two pretty sound reasons. First, it is
pointed out that the Gallup poll is a
national, not a sectional, survey; that
it reflects sentiment on this subject in
the unshakably Democratic South as
well as in the debatable States of the
North and West. If the solid South
had been excluded from the survey
and it had been confined to the de-
batable States in which the election
will be decided, obviously the popu-
larity percentage of the President
would be lower and the percentage
against third term higher.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1940-03-07

That is one reason; the other seems
even more convincing from the prac-
teal political angle. Clearly, the Gal
lup poll is taken among voters who
have some opinion and are able to ex-
press it in some kind of way. 1t does
not touch the inarticulate voters who
have no opinions whatever and could
not express them if they had. Of
these, as every practical politician
knows, there are a great many more
than is generally realized. In nine
tenths Of the precincts in the country
there are certain voters who, if not
taken to the registration booths,
would not register, and who, after
registration, if not taken to the polls
on election day, would not,vote. Large
ly they are voters who do not know
what the election is about, or, if they
know, do not care.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1940-03-07

For example, the Gallup survey
shows that while sixty-four per cent.
of the voters approve generally of the
President, only forty-six per cent.
would vote for him for a third term.
Translating this into election figures
and estimating the November vote al
50,000,000, this would mean that,
should Mr.. Roosevelt run again, APP
proximately 23,OOO,OOO would vote
for him but 27,OOO,OOe would vote
against him. Thus, according to DR..
Gallup's scientific methods, which,
anyhow up to date, have been extra
ordinarily accurate, Mr.. Roosevelt
would be beaten by approximately
100000 majority.
