Smith, former governor of New York; Bernard M. Baruch, eminent finan- cier; Alexander Legge, former chairman of | publisher of. the Atlanta Constitution. Ina letter requesting these notable citizens to undertake the difficult task as- signed them, the bankers and iiisurance companies said in part: “The present position of the railroads is a matter of grave concern. This situa- tion touches every citizen. We beg that you examine all. phases of the problem and recommend a’solution which, with due re- gard for the public interest, will instire an opportunity for thé railroads of this coun- try to operate on a business basis.” Every thoughtful citizen must realize that the preservation of our incomparable railroad facilities is a matter of vital im- portance, not only to the many thousands of small railway stockholders, but to other thousands of railway employees, and to millions of bank depositors and insurance policyholders whose welfare is dependent upon the stability of our rail system. The findings and recommendations of the Coolidge committee will therefore be awaited. with unusual interest on the part of the public. POLL DEVELOPMENTS In the newspaper polls of the past week, the trend to Roosévelt seems to have been unusually strong, whith points to a belief that the Roosevelt candidacy will not only sweep the country, but will carry with it a great many local lcandidacies. The Hearst newspaper polls, . which might have been suspected of a Roosevelt leaning, have not only been corroborated by the poll of the Literary Digest as far as it has been published, but the Digest poll seems to be stronger for Roosevelt: In this the Digest poll agrees with the poll of the Cincinnati Inquirer and other newspapefs, which have shown a greater Roosevelt strength than the Hearst polls have showh. The Hearst polls in New York have given President Hoover a continual lead over Roosevelt, but the Digest poll gives a substatitial lead to Roosevelt and indicates that he will carry his own state. It is just possible that some of the Newspaper polls have been manipulated to show a close battle where the battle is not really elose at all. Newspaper support has been known to have been placed on the market and ad- vertising managers have beén known to re-; soit to all kinds of expedients to boom business.
