‘The Gallup Poll—
Fear Delay in Selection of Standard Bearer Might Cost Party Victory.
By DR. GEORGE H. GALLUP Director of Institute of Public Opinion PRINCETON, N. J., June 18.—Rejection of the suggestion to postpone the Republican National Convention until August, in order to give the Republicans a better chance to assess the issues raised by the war, is voted today by a majority of G. O. P. voters in a nation-wide survey of the American Institute of Public Opinion. A majority of those interviewed said they would prefer to see the Republicans meet in Philadelphia as scheduled on
Nevertheless, a very substantial number of Republicans declared
that the suggestion—first made by
national committeemen and newspaper commentators — appealed to them as sound tactics. Voters in a cross-section of the United States were asked the following question: “It has been suggested that the Republican Party postpone their Presidential convention from June to August of this year, in order to wait and see what is going to happen in Europe. Do you approve or disapprove of this proposal?”
Postponement Opposed
The Republican vote was:
In Favor of Postponement... .43% Opposed to Postponement. ...57%
About one Republican in four said he, was undecided on the question. he survey found signs-of g real Republican dilemma on the question of holding their convention It was pointed out by some

voters that this would give the G. O. P. an opportunity to meet after the Democratic convention, rather than before, and would permit them to gauge Republican strategy accordingly. Others commented that “things are happening so fast in Europe that nobody can tell what the platform should be—let alone who the candidate should be. ’ On the other ‘hand, persons holding the majority view argued that “the sooner we meet and select our standard-bearer, the sooner we’ll be a real opposition party.”: One Republican businessman, interviewed in New York City, declared that a postponement would “merely hand the country over to the Democrats while we were trying to’ make up our minds.”
History Records Precedent
History has provided at least one interesting precedent for such a postponement, and curiously enough
it was the Democrats who took the
step. In the Presidential race of 1864, in the midst of the Civil War, the Democrats delayed their convention until late summer in the hope that the outcome of military
expeditions under Generals Grant and Sherman would be determined, thus clarifying the major” political issues. The Democrats finally met and nominated Gen. George B. McClellan, but the parallel ‘is perhaps
an unpleasant one for Republican strategists since McClellan was badly defeated by President Lincoln the following November. Grant and Sherman, as it happened, had been brilliantly successful in the meantime, and the country proved to be in no temper “to change
