Though the Literary Digest poll shows Landon as leading President Roosevelt in 32 out of the 48 states, as given in the current issue, an analysis of the vote clearly indicates that Roosevelt will easily win, Congressman Jaok Nichols said Saturday. "The Digest's own figures show a sure Roosevelt victory," Nichols said. "Their figures are plain; only their interpretation is wrong." "Take the 'how the voters voted In 1932 election' break-down to start with.

This shows Landon receiving 715,884 votes from Republicans who voted for Hoover in 1932. Roosevelt on the other hand has only 540,000 votes from Democrats who voted for him in 1932. Is this a clue? Doesn't is look like the poll is taken mainly among those who voted Republican in 1932 -and doesn't the Digest admit it by these figures? Cites Figures. "Now take the total Democrats as voting for Landon who voted for Roosevelt in 1932, which is 194,559, and add this to the Roosevelt Democratic vote. 540.316.: and you get a total of 734.865 ballots from 1932 Democrats.

Jack Nichols was asked yesterday to intercede with the fed- i bureau of fisheries to help stock the newly constructed Checotah municipal lake, near with game fish fingerlings. John Buford, Checotah publishconferred with W. T. Huff, Nicher, ols' secretary, and asked that the congressman use his influence to obtain the fish.

Buford said sportsmen estimate that 100,000 fish should be put in the lake, but that only about 7000 have been supplied by the state fish and game commission. Nichols recently asked farmers whose fish were killed during the drouth write for application blanks which are to be sent to the federal to, bureau of fisheries. Huff suggested that the Checotah council formally petition Nichols to supply the fingerlings so that the letter can be sent to Washington with the request. He said he felt there will be no difficulty in obtaining aid. The Checotah municipal lake was completed last spring as a PWA project.

It has been in use for approximately six months.

National guardsmen were called to aid Boston officers in maintainIng police lines and to keep a road open for the president's car.

The president asked what the present administration had done and supplied this answer: 1. Raised wages and living standards in other sections, toward the standards of New England, so as to help destroy "that kind of unfair competition." 2. Begun the first real offensive in American history against "that concentrated wealth and monopolistic power which almost destroyed small businesses and diversified Industries of -Now. England." 3.
