In a pre-convention preview of the 1940 Presidential race the Gallup Poll is ! voters in each state: “Which party would you like to see win the Presidential election?” Following are, the results for five states reporting thus | far.

:In its preview of 1940 political sentiment the Institute put the folr question to ‘a cross-section af Massachusetts’ voters: “Which party ‘would you like to [see win the Presidential election next year?” {The answers of those with a definite choice at this time are: !

Favor Republicans. ......... 54% Favor Democrats...../..: eo: 46%

“Massachusetts, with its great textile, electrical and leather industries, and with its large urban and labor groups, went Democratic in the Al Smith-Herbert Hoover election of 1928 and remained mocratic in

1932 and 1936. But Democrats were served a sharp warning two years ago when the Republicans elected blue-blooded, Bostonian Leverett Saltonstall to the governorship. Shows Gain Has Been Held While the present survey is not a direct indication of the popularity of the new Republican state administration, the survey indicates that the G. 0. P. has substantially held its lines in Massachusetts since 1938. Governor Saltonstall polled 54 per cent of the vote against 46 per cent for his Democratic opponent two years ago—or exactly the same figure shown for the two parties in today’s In itute survey. = Even the outbreak of war in Eu~ * rope, which boosted] the stock of the Democratic |Party considerably in many states, has apparently had little effect on the strength of the two major parties in Massachusetts. In an Institute survey in the Bay State last August the Republican vote was 55 per cent, as compared with 54 per cent today. The Massachusetts political trend since 1936—revealing a 9-point slide for the Democrats in four years— is shown in the following figures:

DEWEY TO TALK IN MILWAUKEE

Moves On After Charging in Chicago That New Deal Coerces Jobless. .

CHICAGO, March 29 (U. P).— Thomas E. Dewey, candidate for the Republican Presidtn ial nomination, went hunting for primary votes in Wisconsin ‘today after] an address here last night in which he charged the | New Deal with ‘lintimidation,

coercion, extortion and larceny”. against the “helpless unemployed.” The Manhattan District Attorney, pitted in fhe April 2 Wisconsin primary against Senator Arthur H. Vandenburg (R. Mich), will speak in Milwaukee tonight on foreign affairs and is expected to accuse President Roosevelt of leading thie country toward war.

Part Two of Indictment

The Chicago speech was part two of his “indictment” charging -the present Administration with a “cyn-

ical disregard of the principles of common honesty.” He had delivered part oné in St. Louis the night before. Continuing what he called “a calendar of unpunished crime,” Dewey said the New Deal had used relief funds “to meet election needs” and for the “simple ugly purpose of. corrupting the electorate of the United States.”

‘Cites Committee Report

Citing the report of a Senate committee which investigated alleged political abuses in the Works Progress Administration, Mr. Dewey charged dthat WPA workers were subjected- to “intimidation and coercion” in Kentucky, Tennesse, Arkansas, -Pennsylvania, Illinois, South Dakota and North Carolina. Listing specific cases of alleged misuse of power by WPA officials, the candidate asserted that “we are dealing with official policy of this Administration.”

SUES TO DETERMINE

| LIABILITY OF SURETY

e Federal Court here was asked today to decide what surety company is, liable for the amount of money embezzled by Frank Updegraff from the Peoples State Bank.

year sentence at the Federal Reformatory at Chillicothe, O., for the offense, said in his confession that most of the total he embezzled was taken before Jan. 1, 1939. That was the date on which the bank changed its surety company. . As a result, the bank asked the American Surety Co. of New York, which had assured it before Jan. 1, 1939, to pay $10,409.42; the amount allegedly embezzled. The New York surety company petitioned the court “to declare whether it was within the power

made long after the termination of plaintiff’s bond to bind or affect the liability of the plaintiff.” Named as defendant along with the bank is the St. Paul Mercury Indemnity Co., which insured the bank after Jan. 1, 1939.
