Republicans Move Ahead OfDemocrats
In New England, Other Major States

carried by the Democrats were
carried by less than SIS percent
in 1914.
The New England and Middle
Atlantic states have a total of 157
electrical votes, or almost one
third Of the total for the country.
TODAY's poll figures on party
strength will be studied carefully
by political observers for their
bearing upon the House and Sen
ate elections this fall.
It is impossible, however, to
translate the party percentages
into a specific number of seats
for either party in the House with
any assurance of accuracy. Ac-
curate seat predictions would have
to be based on surveys conducted
in each of the 435 Congressional
districts of the country and cover
ing each district intensively.
Seat predictions would also have
to take account of the vitality i'm
portant factor Of turnout, or num-
Der of voters in each party who
would likely 60 to the polls and
vote.
Past experience has shown
however, that there is a rough re-
lationship between gain or loss of
general party strength, as indicat-
ed in polls, and gain or loss OF
seats in the House. In other words
the trend of seat changes is al
most always reflected by the trend
of overall party strength. It is for
that reason that changes in the
poll figures on party strength will
be watched with interest in the
coming months for the light thew
shed on trends of political senti.
meat during the Congressional
races.

Ioday's poll can reflect only the
present day sentiments of the peo-
pie in the two areas, subject to
the changes that may be brought
about by happenings at home and
abroad, by the nomination of the
candidates and by the presiden-
tlal campaign itself.
Nevertheless, the gravity of the
situation for the Democratic
party can be seen by looking at
the figures for previous years in
New England and the Middle At
lantic states.
The Democratic lead in other
years, While comfortable, was
never overwhelming even at the
height of Mr.. Roosevelt's popl,-
larlty. The party's percentage
never, with the exception of 1886.
ran more than four points above
the $3.50 line in either of the two
sectlons. The development of an
ADVERSE trend, therefore, would
seem to be of more than ordinary
seriousness to tae Democrats
since they have enjoyed onlv a
relatively slim margin of lead in
the past.

democratic percentages follows:

Unity On Port Project

The strong, sincere unity in Will
nington's bid for a 85-foot channel in
the Cape Fear river, so evident at the
meeting of governmental, civic, COM
mercial and other interests Friday. Is
a highly heartening start toward reall-
cation of this vital project.
While only a prelude to the hearing
before U. S. Army Engineers on July
80, the gathering brought forth a spirit
of cooperation seldom seen in similar
community = betterment undertakings.
There was not even a hint of friction
among the various interests. All were
in complete harmony as to the proper
means of advancing the plea for the
deeper water.
In addition. a steering committee
was appointed to receive, compile and
integrate all facts and arguments for
the better channel. Recognizing the i'm
portance of it's assignment and taking
it up with deep earnestness, this group,
headed by City Industrial Agent John
H. Farrell, held it's first conference Fri
day night. Considering it's membership,
we predict that its brief will be one of
the most thorough and convincing ever
presented on a waterway Improvement
question. In addition to this master
brief, organizations and individuals will
also submit similar documents to the
Army Engineers.
To add to the strength of the appeal,
other Southeastern North Carolina
communities, benefitting directly or
otherwise from the port, will be given
every opportunity to participate in the
overall effort.
Thus, an excellent beginning has
been made on the bid for the channel
depth increase, necessary if the port
IS 10 continue fully useable to larger
-ankers and other o~cean-going vessels.
Bur equally important is this new
spirit o. unity in the desire to make
Wilmington & first-rate South Atlantic
port. Without this, nc effort. either in
dividualiy or in a haf-hearted collective
manner, will attain worthwhile success.
It is z demonstration to al, especially
the skeptical Upstate, that the city is
determined to develop the natural as
sets Of its river and harbor to the high
est possible degree.
The spirit marking this movement
for deeper water must not only be con-
tinued but manifested in every port
undertaking. This includes modern
terminals, better transportation into
the interior and other major segments
of overall harbor development. II we
allow it to die, then Wilmington will
eventually pass up its golden oppor-
tunity to make it's port what it should
rightfully be in North Carolina's trans
portation picture.

1nvershiel Program Tipped

The continuous grazing program of
lnvershiel, Inc, which has drawn wide
spread southern interest, was ''stepped
up" and energized a marked degree. a
few days ago. Three of the six re-
seeding annual crops used were sown
simultaneously by using a truck and a
little marvel distributor.
The three crops, which will give
Twelve months continuous grazing, were
Andrews Manganese Bur clover, five
months; Chess, six months, and John
son grass, six months. The seed were
harvested from crops which had been
grazed heavily. These with Kobe Les
pedeza, Giant White Dutch clover and
Crimson clover are used with highly
satisfactory results.
The sowing program was handled
entirely by a ~16-year-old High school
Junior. He soWed the three crops,c v
ing 10 acres, in exactly an hour. This
makes as acres of crops at a cost of
machinery and labor of two cents an
acre. Vision this extremely low cost and
you will see the vast possibilities of
this program for the Southeastern
states in d~airying and the raising of
peer cattle, now in such great demand.

The Gallup Poll
BY GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute
Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. j., July IS -
If a presidential election race were
being held today, the Republican
Party would have a definite edge
over the Democratic Party in the
New England and the Middle At.
lantic states.
A trend away from the Demo
Gratis has been in progress there
in recent months.
Although the Democrats carried
10 out of the II states in the two
areas in 1914 maine and Vermont
went Republican,, today the COP.
is favored by the majority Of vot-
ers polled in each of the two re-
gions.
The poll shows Democratic
strength down 8.5 percentage points
in New England as compared 70 the
1914 election, and down sever
points in the Middle Atlantic area.
The situation in the two areas
today is shown in results of an In.
stitute poll on the following ques.
ton a question which has prov
ed a reliable index during the las,
decade as a measure of party
strength:
eff a presidential election were
being held today, which party
would you vote for - the Demo.
cratic or the Republican,"
Following is the vote for New
