New Hampshire Poll
Shows Taft LEADING;
0hIoan's Daekers Say
By F'snk G, Haniehen

'eeha'hssd iFsm. .sIgAImaR, HVshtsr Q weekly
FeF seme weeks, the Taft camp
here has talked IN hushed tones
about q secretly aendueted poll In
New HAMpAhlFe, but, ''eVeH In the
ladee"-we underatand-na de-
tails were known, Only the top
level-the secret slx"-knew tho
score,
Now, we have been able TO OBJ
tain approximate data on this
poll, never before published, It
seems that John ., M, Hamilton
OF the Taft organization obtained
list of about $4,000 names from
the polling lists OF New Hamp-
shire. and set experts to work to
take an absolutely error-proof
straw vote,
Originally. as the straw votes
came In Gen. Eisenhower led
Senator Taft by a comfortable
margin, about "a per cent for the
general, about 20 per cent for the
senator. and 20 per cent for Gen.
Macarthur.
Eisenhower Slipped.
Then the Eisenhower votes
began to slip, the Taft votes to
rise and Macarthur votes held
steady. Finally. Gen. MacArthur's
name was dropped. because 1t does
not appear anyway on the prefer
entail ballot.
Then Eisenhower votes began to
slide of rapidly. while Taft votes
assembled sharply. The last we
heard 1t was Eisenhower SO and
Taft "a per cent.
Those who know the course Of
this poll believe that Senator Taft
will lead Gen. Eisenhower In the
preferential primary vote, by pick
Ing up Macarthur votes since the
latter's name Ia not on the prefer.
ential ballot, although delegates
candidates pledged TO him are on
the delegates ballot Indeed, they
rate the chances OF Senator Taft
In New Hampshire much better
today than at any time In the
past,
Recall Tobey Race.
One factor IA believed to favor
him. The leaders OF the Eisen-
hover organization, Taft baekeFs
say, eutsmaFted themselves when
they decided TO so into New Hamp-
shire.
They recalled that Senator
Tebey, Republican, of New Hamp-
shore, was Feneminated In q hot
contest in 1850 because many
Democrats CROSSED the line" and
voted IN the Republican primary
for him against the conservative
candidate. Hence, they argued,
Gen. Eisenhower would get these
Democratic votes, But Senator
Kefauver. Democrat, of Tennes-
see, In q surprise move, filed in
the Democratic primary, and faces
President Truman In a spirited
intra- Democratic contest. The
conclusion Ia that Democratic vot.
ers will not "cross the line" in the
coming primary on March II, pre-.
ferrihg to vote In their own in
teresting race. on that basis,
Senator Taft stands q better
chance.
