CITERARY DIGEST PIL ON ELECTO tiearly 8,000,000 Returus Show Smith Catting Hoover's Load | Smith reduces Hoover's lead more that 7 per cent as the first major | returns are reported from the south | and several larger citles In the| fourth week's returns ot The Liter- ary Digest's 19,000,000-ballot Presi- dential poll published today. With the votes now received from 39 of the 48 states, Hoover has 1.-| 201,869 votes of a grand total of 1.- 911,257 tabulated while Smith polls 688.829. This gives Hoover approxi- | mately 63 per cent and Smith about 36 per cent of the total vote as com- | pared to the previous week's tabu- lation when the percentages were nearly 68 for Hoover and 31 for Smith. | A new feature of this mammoth | “postcard election” is the introduc tion of separate urban return, in- | cluded in the total, from Chicago, Philadelphia. and New York, where the entire clectorate is being polled which show Smith leading in these three cites with 185,000 votes to| Hoover's 177,404, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, and South Carolina are the only states| that have as yet given Smith a| plurality. Though Hoover has a! slight advantage in the present re- turns in Alabama, the vote is prac- tically a stand-off. i Cautious About South | Virginia and North Carolina give | Hoover a definite lead but the re-| turns from the south, The Literary | Digeat cautions, are less than hajf | completed and should not be taken | as indicative of the final returns. The first separate returns from New York city, reported this week. give Smith 102,539 votes as against | 65,205 for Hoover. Almost 30 per | cent of those voting for Smith here | report that they voted the republican | ticket In 1924, while Hoover gains| less than 15 per cent from the Demo. | cratic ranks of four years past in the same city. 1 In New York state as a whole, where It is stated that the returns| are more nearly complete, Hoover is leading by 170,113 to 144,276. This ratio may be reduced next week, The | Literary Digest points out, when more votes will be reported from New York city. A tabulation of “how the same | voters votes in 1924 shows that| Smith receives nearly one-half of his support from those who voted for the republican candidate four years ago. a slight decrease from last week when over one-half of his vote was from republicans. Over 76 per cent of Hoover's vote comes from professed republicans at the last elqction » and about 23 per cent of his strength is coming from those who state they voted the democratic ticket in 192¢. Draws from Democrats Hoover, it is shown, is receiving more than one-half of his support from the democratic ranks in the gtates of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Lodidana and Texas. | Hoover majority the “straw poll” who did net vote in 1924, which-includes both those who have since arrived at voting age and others who failed'te note their pre- vious political _alleglance, over 58 per cent are voting for Hoover and 39 per cent are marking their bal- lots for &mith. “Previous polling records for the fourth week of a natlonal pell, set by The Literary Digest's Presidential poll of 1924." The Literary Digest states editorially, “are left far be- hind with this week's tabulation of nearly 2,000,000 votes from 39 of the 48 states. The present tabulation shows an increase of amost half a million votes over the fourth week of the 1924 poll, or practically 33 per cent. “In fact, no Literary Digest poll has ever stirred such wide-spread in- terest both among the daily news- papers throughout the country and also judging by the mass of private correspondence daily received, among the individual voters them- selves. “Votes from the states in the ‘Solid South’ and from New York city appear for the first time in co siderable numbers in this week's tabulation, with the resut that the is somewhat re- duced. The republican lead of more than two-to-one in last week's taby- Jation is cut down to less than two- to-one this time. Old Fences Down “The breaking down of political fences, already noticed in previous reports on the poll, is even more plainly evident as voters from the southern states come in. Alabama shows the republican’ candidate slightly in the lead, supported by far more former democrgts than re- publicans. While the = vote here s practically a stand-off, both Virginia and North Carolina give Mr. Hoover a substantial lead. “Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, and South Carolina are the only states, thus far, which have regis- tered a preference for the demo- cratic candidate. In all of the southern states, however, consider- ing the fact that the poll is at pres- ent not more than half completed, the vote can hardly be taken as closely indicative of the final re- turns. “The Digest's present totals, it wil be noticed, show tha 160,386 demo- | cratic votes are now in the Hoover column, while Mr. Smith claims the considerably larger figure of 259,- 913 votes from republican voters as of 1924. On the other hand under the total of the column headed ‘No Vote,” which Includes those who vote for the first time in this election, and those who neglect to state whether they voted or not, Mr. Hoover has the advantage by 180,102 to 119,754 for 8mith. “In the final analysis, of course, the majorities in the separate states expressed through the votes in the electoral college will determine the election.” SELLS “FREL T ETS” Beatrice, Neb,, Oct, 12 (UP)—A new ‘racket” was uncovered at the county fair here recently. Visitors were asked to pay admission to what had been advertised as a free fair, and complained.
