TO-MORROW AMERICANS CHOOSE THEIR PRESIDENT
Roosevelt
or
Willkie
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, WHICH TAKES PLACE. TO-MORROW IN THE UNITED STATES, IS LIKELY TO BE A VERY CLOSE CONTEST BETWEEN FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT AND WENDELL L. WILLKIE, JUDGING FROM THE RESULTS OF THE MANY UNOFFI- CIAL POLLS TAKEN DURING THE PAST TWO MONTHS.
The straw vote is a popular method of determining public feeling in America, and its reliability has been proved on many previous occasions. The latest of a series of such counts undertaken by various newspapers and public organi- sations on the presidential race was one conducted by the magazine "News-Week." the result of which was made known a few days ago.
.
Fifty of the leading political writers and commentators in the country were asked to give their opinion as to the chances of success of the two candidates for the position of Chief Execu tive.
