which candidate will get theli
support when election duy fin­
ally rolls uround. Tins, too, Is the
same percentage which was un­
decided two weeks ugo.
Mayor Thornton S. Wiley, tin
present Incumbent showed a gum
in strength. Wiley, who two
weeks ugo run only 12%, this
week showed up on the Lully
sheet with 20%, u gain of 80% In
strength.
Tom Williams, the railroading
candidate who had 10% of the
vote two weeks ugo lost ground
and showed up with 6% this
time.
Colonel Preston B. Waterbury
and Colonel Harold Jordan tied
lor last place in this week's poll,
each with 2%.
Total tabulation was as follows
UNDECIDED 36%
WELLER 34%
WILEY 20%
WILLIAMS 06%
WATERBURY 02%
JORDAN 02%
Some comment was mude con­
cerning the poll taken two weeks
ago on the basis thut It was taken
on Allda street, where the Wel­
ler fumily former!» resided and
thus was not a fair poll. The en­
tire poll was not taken on Allda
street ut that time according to
Ed McLain, who Is doing the
polling. McLain stated emphati­
cally that in order to get a re­
presentative picture he polls a
cross section of the city, taking
a few houses here and a few
houses there.
This weeks poll was taken on
Beach street, Col. Preston B
Waterbury and Tom Williams
home street; Holly street, where
Colonel Harold Jordan lives;
Walnut street, where M ay o r
Thornton S. Wilry lives; and five
people were polled In Bellview*,
present residence of Dr. Walter
Weller. People were also polled
on Garfield, Maple. Iowa, Scenic
Drive, Laura), and Oak.
McLain stated that he would
welcome any of the candidates or
any representative of theirs, or
any Interested Individual who
would like to go along on the
poll with him. This, he said,
would give them an insight Into
how the poll is being conducted.
“Business houses,” McLa 1 n
pointed out "are rarely polled be­
cause the residential area offers
a better representative cross sec­
tion of opinions."
A possible reason for the large
number of undecided people Mc­
Lain said is that many of the
people polled are women, and
they say that they are as yet un­
decided about their choice of
candidates because their husband
