In the special session of Congress last autumn Senator Arthur H.

Because Mr. Dewey's chief for-|

generally assumed he was an antiisolationist. This was apparently confirmed by his speech jin New York City Jan. 20. Mr. Dewey approved the Roosevelt policy (except Russian recognition) in general, and even took credit for it by declaring: “Today we find the Ad inistra-

President's commodious office off the Senate lobby, biting occasionally

{at the ‘stub of a cigar.

His whole attitude, during a brief chat, ‘seemed confirmation of what

of moving. Back towards the G. O. P. Iowa, which is the home state of Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace and which gave Mr. Roosevelt 56 per cent of its major party vote in the 1936 Presidential election, shows @- 10-point Democratic defection at this time, In Minnesota, where President Roosevelt crushed his Republican opponent by |W a vote of 2.to 1 four years ago, the], defection has been approximately 16 points. Cross-sections of the voters in the two states were asked: “Which party would you like to see win the Presidential election this year?” actual votes in each state were follows: - IOWA. (56% for FDR in 1936) Favor’ Republican ‘President crserserss 3% Favor Democratic President \ MINNESOTA (67% for FDR in 1936) Favor Democratic President ..... vesforesecss SH% Favor Republican ; President ................ 49% The Institute's current tact-find-ing surveys in the 48 states are in the nature: of a preview of party strength in the coming Presidential compaign. | By continuing its surveys up to and through the Presidential nominating conventions this summer, the Institute will he able to discover what differences—if any —are caused by the selection of flesh-and-blood candidates and by the campaign proper. As in other states, the Institute's surveys show that although President Roosevelt is widely popular as

a second-term President a majority |

of voters in Iowa and Minnesgta are not at this time willing to vote for a third term. Should Mr. Roosevelt openly declare himself a candidate, of course, changes in sentiment might occur. These would have to be measured when and if such a contingency arises. Af the present time, however, the Institute’s double index of the President’s strength gives the following picture in Iowa and Minnesota: | IOWA Approving FDR as Second Term President Would Vote for 3d Term | MINNESOTA Approving FDR as: Second Term |President.......... 65% Would Vote for 3d Term 42% Both Iowa and Minnesota gave signs of a| Republican swing in the 1938 mid-term elections, when both states elec Republican governors. Recently political commentators devoted considerable attention to a Congressional by-election in Iowa's Sixth. District, where the Republican was elected by a majority eight points greater than the Republican candidate had received in the same district four years ago. The Republican gain in this district compares closely with the gain indicated for the G. O. P. in the state as a whole in the present Institute survey.
