Polls, Politicians And The Voters Public-opinion polls now indicate that the 1948 election will be very close. Analysts point out that a long labor peace and continued general prosperity would make President Truman hard to beat. ...'. ,, His comeback has been surprising. The Gallup Poll recently reported that 60 per cent of Americans now approve the way he is handling his job'. 'Only 32 per cent so voted in October. This, of course, reflects the fact that Mr. Truman has a program, while 'that of his opposition is still vague. If the Republicans make a poor legislative record throughout this session of Congress, if they continue to fight among themselves, their chances of convincing American voters that a GOP administration is desirable will be much poorer than anybody anticipated last fall. . Yet Gallup himself pointed out "that Republicans have contributed more than Democrats to Mr. Truman's comeback. This does not necessarily mean that Republicans who approve his work will vote for him. The March 5 poll indicated that, if the elections were held this spring, the "national vote would be 51 per cent Democratic, 49 per cent Republican. Allowing i'ol' a slight margin of error, that is virtually a tie. - This raises a question whether polls themselves could influence the outcome in a close election. Obviously, they worry the politicians. Such considerations lend interest to a critical analysis of such surveys by Elmo Roper, who directs the Fortune polls. In the current, issue of that magazine, he writes:, . ,;, , , t ,-. "Public opinion polls haye become almost alarmingly, respectable in the last 10 years. . . Scof f erji still . remain. "Some, foolishly in my opinion, believe that polls influence elections despite the lack of evidence to support that .'contention. The real problem today, however, is that the 'number of ;.those who have a blind faith in the' accuracy tof the published 'answers to every question has, growi so large as 'to be, a danger; not only to this infant Science but to public opinion itself. Until those of us who are engaged in the profession of gauging public opinion by scientific,-or semi-scientificj surveys of -a carefully selected cross-sectiori sample aire able to make greater strides toward. perfection,. ouii' printed! conclusions like almost everything else served the reading public should be critically examined." .. ... ...... Mr. Roper contends that, in a limited way, the polls are doing a great deal of good for our democracy. But he warns that they contain "pitfalls ;fpr anyone who jumps blindly to the conclusion that the answers given to -any one question are Sacred Facts even though the public mood' they seem "to portray is unsupported by evidence from other- questions." Other pitfalls cited .are .a. tendency, to. minMzp.. Mofc't. laiow". answers and possibility thattW Question contains a' word or a phrase that grossly-distorts -the answers."" : ' ' ' 1 This frank statement will please-politicians who don't like what polls reveal. It does not. contradict orjinions that the

i948 contest is wide openThis 'prospect should" sour both

.parties to greater efforts in behalf" of the American people, svl-io may be confused when polLtake'rs re. around, but be

come very positive at election time.

The following persons have signified their intention of seeking nomination for the various offices in the coming city primary election on Tuesday, May 6, 1947.

Baycin bsked, "Can you make many bows like that?" 'TpRISTRAM'S shaft sped forward with r a' whistling '

- J- oWiss-sss-sh. It? seemed to waiter that it could not hope to find the distant target. But the miracle happened. There was a iaint ping and angry Mongol eyes saw it in the white clout. ' , .','' A shout went up from the crowd. Walter cried,' "St. George for; England,", and threw his arms around Tristram's heck. "No one has ever equalled that shot," he said. Tris smiled with relief. "I didn't expect to do it," he said. "I set the mark much too far." .,',. But how a chief on a black charger moved toward them fend they recognized the great warrior; Bayan of the Hundred Eyes. He asked, "Can yoa make many bows like that "' "If we can, get .the wood," Tris said. " . 'C' you train archers?" ' ' . . ' , ' v '

Bright eyes peered out at fhem.

The friends said that they could, and Bayan seemed quite pleased. When he learned that Wa lter also could play chess, he issued a number of rapid orders to his men. The result was that Walter and Tristram were to be given horses, and a tine new tent. They were in high favor. Mahmoud had dinner ready in their traveling home when Walter noticed a strange stirring in the silk curtain closing off a portion of the tent. He watched it for a moment, then commanded, "Comfe out Of "there!" The edge Of the silk was pulled slowly back. Bright blue eyes in a small face peered out at them. Walter was thunderstruck. "Didn't you go to Maragha?" he asked. : Maryam shook her head. "I saw my uncle," she 6aid. "He looked even more cruel . than Anthemus, I was afraid of him, Walter! So.l ran back here and found your new tent."

"We three shall chance it together," Walter said. Walter's mind filled with dire speculations. "No one has suspected so far,!' he said, "but it has Only been one day. Such good fortune could not continue." She dropped to one knee beside him. "Yes. Yes, It could. I will speak to no one and keep my face covered." Tristram came in at this point. He laughed with relief at seeing Maryam. "You are still here!" he cried. "By St. Christopher, I am glad of it." But Walter was not so sure. He was certain that Maryam would be discovered, with disaster for all. It was only after much debate that he yielded when Tris said, "She is English. Wat, and we have no right to leave her in the lurch." "All right," he said, as the three joined hands. "M'e Bnail chance it together-the three of us . . " . . - . (Continued tomorrow) r
