Ross scoffed at questions as to
whether the President might meet

here.

In past years it has been found
that fluctuations in the popularity
of candidates r very common,
especially when nominating con-
ventions are a long way off. Some
times the candidates leading the
list in popularity for a long period
prior to the nominating conventions
are nominated ALI M. Landon ir
1886 and Governor Dewey in 1874
both had been the top choice of the
COP. rank and file many months
before the actual nominations took
place. On the other hand, in 1916
Wendell Willkie, a dark horse Jus'
two months before convention time,
rose rapidly to overtake the leaders
in popularity as the convention
delegates assembled.
SEVERAL changes will be noted
in this months poll results as
compared to earlier months.
Mr.. Stassen's national popularity
is down as compared to July and
May, although it stands not much
below February. Today's figures on
Mr.. Stassen reflects both the Ne
braska primary in June, where a
Stassen-endorsed candidate for the
Senate lost out, and the Minnea-
polls primary in July, where Mr..
Stassen's protege, Governor Ed
ward Thye, was nominated tor the
Senate race this fall.
Senator Vandenberg, who has
played an increasingly important
part in international conferences,
is UP somewhat in popularity as
compared to February. So is Gov
ernor Warren of California, who
recently assured himself OF re-elec-
ton as CALIFORNIA; governor 10y
winning both the Democratic and
Republican primaries.
Governor Dewey's popularity has
remained virtually unchanged since
early this year.
Of the nine men mentioned II
today's list, four are UP for election
this fall. In addition to Governor
Warren whose continuation in OF
flee is already assured, they are:
Governor Dewey, John w. Brickel
of Ohio, who is running for the
Senate, and Senator Vandenbers
of Michigan. The performances o.
these three men in their contests
will undoubtedly have an import
ant bearing on their nationwide
popularity as l948 presidential tim
Der.
Also the fall elections may bring
to the forefront other political fig
ures who will win sufficient pres
tige to start people talking abou1
their qualifications for the nations
highest elective office. The race
