Approximately the last few weeks coincides with a campaign by his friends to boost his candidacy. A year ago, before the advent of Dewey on the national' scene, Vandenberg was the leading choice in Institute polls among Republicans. Will he continue to gain ground? The Institute plans to test the, popularity of candidates in both major parties at regular intervals.

Sometimes conventions nominate the most popular man in the party, as in the case of Landon in 1936. But in 1920, Harding was a compromise candidate relatively unknown throughout the country before the campaign. In addition to the nine leading choices in today's survey, the following received prominent mention by Republican voters: Governor Arthur H. James, of Pennsyl-. vania; Congressman Bruce Barton, Henry Ford, John D.

Rockefeller Jr, Theodore Roosevelt Glenn Frank, Senator Hiram Johnson, Chief Justice Hughes, Governor Harold Stassen, of Minnesota; Frank Knox, Senator Arthur Capper, Chairman Alfred P.
