WASHINGTON, Oct. 1J. Til Lit
erary Digest has become as secretive
bout Its final poll figures ss th
supreme court is
about Its deci
sions, and rightly
so. It does not
want anyone
publishing 1 t s
conclusions In ad
vance. At the same
time, the me
chanics of maga
azlne publication
are such that
the figures must
be collected con
siderably In ad-
' vance of publication. The upper
strata of political leaders must know
about such things and there Is prac
tically nothing that a political loeder
osnnot find out If he sets his mind
to It.
Consequently, the word Is out In
thoroughly reliable form In the
political stratosphere that Oovernor
Landon'a present published Digest
poll strength of 66.9 per cent will
work down to a tentatively final fig
ure of 54.6. Allowing 10 per cent
error (the general working percentage
of Digest errors), this would still
leave Mr. Landon with more than 49
per cent of the Digest straws and
seem to forecast a close Landon vic
tory, as Lemke will draw from Mr.
, Roosevelt's total.
