PRINCETON, N. J., Aug. tion's young people who their first Presidential vote lin D. Roosevelt to Wendell sults of a national poll just Institute of Public ‘Oninion. But this year’s crop of new voters is far less pro-Roose-velt than the crop which cast its first vote in the Presidential election four years ago The political importance the voung voters denced by that more than nine million people have come of voting age since the last Presidential election. Any major political party petuate itself, must constantly draw into its ranks some of the “new blood In 1936 the Democrats got lion's share of the new vote. Today—at least at this stage of the campaigh—the situation 1s greatly altered When the young new voters were asked in the survey: “If the Presidential election were held today, would vou vote for Willkie or for Roosevelt?’ the results were as follows For Roosevelt For Willkie A the

comparison of this vote with sentiments of the crop which first vote in 1936 shows a striking difference. The new voters in that vear were more than two to one for Roosevelt

For Roosevelt For Landon One esvecially interesting sidelicht is that this same 1936 crop of voters, who will be taking part in their second Presidential election this November, are far less pro-Roosevelt today than they were four vears ago. Only 53 per cent san are coing to vote for Rooseagainst 68 per cen: Roosevelt in 1936 remembered, of course, of nine million people eligible to vote for the time tihs vear ‘will actually go and vote on election day. even if only half of them were to cast their ballots it would mean some 4.500.000 votes, a sizable nhumbar. The problem of the Roosevelt forces is how to maintain their presadvantage with the new voters while the problem of the Republic-| is how to lure a greater share of that vote into the Willkie camp. The President still has a strong advantage, the poll finds, with the people in the lower income yroups. If the new crop of young oters is divided into three income ategories—upper, middle and lower upper and middle are evenly livided between Willkie and Rooserelt, while the lower group is for Roosevelt by about 6 to 4 Persons Eligible to Vote for President for First Time This Year Upper and Middle Income Group

This ment (provides that the party polling the most votes for Secretary of State in the last preceding general eclection shall have its candidates listed | in the first column on the ballot. This position is regarded by politicians as an advantage since many voters stamp the first names they come to. The Republicans won the privilege this vear through the; election of Secretary of State James Tucker {wo vears ago, the only G. O. P. candidate to win a State House post. The Democrats have held the favored position through the four elections since 1932, getting it through the election of a Democratic Secretary of State in 1930. The Board of Election Commissioners vesterdav decided to have 2.000.000 ballots printed for the general election. The Board estimated as many and perhaps more votes wil] be cast than in the 1936 Presidential election when more than 1.650.000 ballots were used. The law orders the commission to provide extra ballots for the precincts where voting machines are used, sn there will be no delay in voting if the machines break down

REPUBLICANS FIGRT CARTEL ‘BACK-DOOR'

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7 (U. P) ~ Congressional Republicans charged today that a bill to increase the Export-Import Bank's lending authority by 500 million dollars was a | “back door method” of creating gigantic cartel to control the price of Western Hemisphere commodities. | The cartel plan, as outlined by Administration officials, would set up a central clearing house for United States and Latin American imports to prevent German ecoin the Western Hemisphere. It has met strong opposition in Congress The Export-Import Bank bill, approved by both the Senate and House Banking and Currency Committees, would increase the bank's lending authority from 200 to 700 million dollars The additional funds would be loaned inh unrestricted amounts to foreigh haions.

Make him take his position before the issue is settled in Congress.” Senator Minton said that this matter may be brought to the Senate floor during debate on the bill. “Since Mr. Willkie has been highly publicized as being forthright, no better time than now will ever he given him to show his spirit and serve his country,” the Senator concluded

WILLKIE PRAISE |

Defends 6. 0. P. Candidate From Guffey Charge He Changed Name.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7,.(U., P).— Senator Frederick VanNuys ((D Ind.) today accused Senator Joseph F. Guffey (DD. Pa) of waging “dirty, mendacious ‘partisan politics” against Republican Presidential Nominee Wendell L. Willkie. Mr. Willkie was also defended on the Senate floor bv Senator Guffey's colleague, Senator James J. Davis (R. Pa.) i Senator Guffey told the Senate vesterday that Mr, Willkie was “horn and baptized Lewis Wendel Wilkus,” and that in more than 200 vears the Guffeys of Pennsylvania had never found it necessary “to change their name or to desert the country of their adoption.” Senator VanNuys said “T do not know or care from what

|'source Senator Guffey obtained his

alleged information, but as a native Hoosier, with three generations of Hoosier ancestry behind me, and speaking from personal knowledge, I know that Wendell Willkie never changed nor had any change his name and that he and his forbears never deserted America or American ideals and traditions.’ Senator Davis said that Mr. Will- | kie's family name was mentioned in a magazine as Willckes, but that no | official record of church christening | of the candidate is available at El- | wood. i - | |
