Michigan Survey
Indicates Dewey
To Win by $4,000
BY FRANK MORRIS

Gov. Thomas f. Dewey will carry Michigan by
a majority of at least $4,000 votes and Gov. Kelly
will be reelected in a landslide, a statewide survey
by The Detroit Times indicated Saturday.
Gov. Dewey's strength is SO per cent at present. If the
vote parallels the 2,083, 900 ballots cast in 1910, which
appears doubtful, he will have an edge of 10000 over Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The survey was not a poll. 1t was made by interviewing
men and women on tho streets Of cities and villages; Wy
talks with farmers in the fields and war workers at the gates
: Of defense plants; by observing the campaign maneuvers of
