FIRST STRAW VOTE
It is a little too early to make predictions concerning
what the national conventions will do with the numerous
presdential candidates who have been mentioned, but a
straw vote recently taken by a Republican magazine may ,
be of interest to those who like to indulge in political
speculations. * ' \'
Inquiries were addressed to many newspaper editors \
and political leaders, all Republicans, asking their opinion j i
as to the strength of the proposed candidates.
The editors voted as follows: Hoover 577, Lowden ,
518, Hughes 218, Dawes 88, Curtis 39, Borah 28, Long-1,
worth .11, and the rest scattered. The political leaders
gave Hoover 267, Lowden 248, Hughes 115’ Dawes 60.
These Republican editors and leaders were also asked
their opinion concerning the probable Democratic nomi- ,
nee based upon sentiment in their respective localities, j,
The edtors gave Smith 737, Reed 163, McAdoo 102,!,
Meredith 110, while the politicians gave Smith 334, Reed ,
111, McAdoo 34 and Meredith 33. |.
It may be consideded significant that the editors and j
political leaders agreed on the order in which the leading t
candidates stand with respect to their relative strength ]
at the present time. Whether this judgment is sound is ,
a fine subject for argument. And whether the candi-'j
dates they have picked will hold their supposed strength \
until convention time is something else again. « \
The capacity of a dredge and a politician may be
judged by the amount of muck they sling. }
From expressions heard from almost every side since (
the S. S. Northwestern was wrecked’ it would seem just ,
about every other person in Seward had a parcel post £
package on the vessel. !j
What Chicago needs, is not less British influence, but [
more of the British system of enforcing law speedily and i
surely against the criminal element that infests it. b
