GOV'T OPERATION OUT OF POLITICS Party Leaders Convinced by Results of National Can vass of Editors. VINDICATES FORMER POLL Overwhelming Veto Like That of Year Before From Both Sides of Politicai Fence. WashlngfoiK-r-Inner.. circles of both \ political parties here are greatly In- | terested in the results of a national pòli on tlie question of government I operation among'"'over: 5,000 new spa- ! per editors throughout the country. ! With 86 per cent of these editors, re- j gardless of political faith, giving iu-as j their impartial opinion that the public i is more than ever opposed to the gov- j ernment going into business in com petition with its citizens, observers j here see little chance that either po liticai party will find it a profitable ! campaign issue. In the opinion of party leaders this j sort of a canvass among newspaper ! editors is the best possible Index of j public opinion. They recall a similar! questionnaire sent out a year ago in connection with the proposition that I the government take over the rail- | roads permanently. Replies at that time from approximately the same number of editors Showed 83 per cent against the principle of government operation. They recall also that with | In ten days-from publication of the.j result of the former questionnaire the | sentiment for return of the railroads to their, owners had definitely crys ! tallizedL Comparison of present results in de j tall with those of a year ¿go con vinces the political student not only that these editors have been accurate in their judgment, but that party con sidérations played no part in form ing it. From Democratic and sup posedly radical Texas, for example] the present questionnaire brought re I plies from editors of 244 papers, only j three of which are Republican. Yet I the percentage agàinst .government i ojeratlon was 92, which is exactly thel same as that given by 200 editors j .from Republican Michigan, among; whom were representatives of only! ;thrée Democratic papers. Other states that pair percentages signifi cantly are Massachusetts and Nevada, with 10Q; Connecticut and South Caro lina, with 97; Maine and West Vir ginia, with 96; Kentucky and New York, with 91; Missouri and Pennsyl I vania, with 89; Ohio and Oklahoma I with 87.
